Chapter 294

In the evening, the rain gradually stopped and the dark clouds dissipated a little. After more than ten days of continuous rain, there were finally signs of a stop. Such a gratifying change made Liu Jing, who was already victorious and happy, let go of the last trace of worry in his heart .

Inside the Sanchong City Tower in Ling County, more than a hundred people from Liu Jingshui's infantry garrison gathered here. They sat side by side, passed cups to each other, drank endlessly, and celebrated the victory.

After nightfall, the city tower was brightly lit, as bright as day, and there were endless laughter and laughter. The feast lasted until the time for people to come to an end, and the generals returned to the boats one after another.

In a blink of an eye, the building was empty, but Liu Jing did not leave. He stood in front of the window with a wine glass in his hand, looking at the bright and bright moon looming in the sky, drinking by himself, enjoying himself.

Although there are still some remnants of the Jingzhou army in Changsha, but with the ashes of Kuaiyue's army annihilated, Liu Biao can no longer be described as hurting his muscles and bones.

For the past five years, once the heavy pressure on Liu Jing's shoulders was gone, he felt unprecedentedly relaxed, so that he, who was usually very restrained, wanted to come to a party to get drunk.

When he traveled across the country, he found that the Jingzhou North-South War would break out in three years, and Changsha was the main battlefield of this war.Liu Jing doesn't want to be swallowed by the huge waves of history, so he can only keep urging himself to move forward.

In order to achieve his goal, Liu Jing went all the way, exhausting all his efforts, even reaching the point of using unscrupulous means. If it is reasonable to open Zuixiangju, then it is really unreasonable to open Changleju.Even though he wasn't personally involved, that didn't ease his guilt.

But if you ask Liu Jing if he regrets it, his answer must be no. If there is no bonus of millions of dollars per year from Changleju, what will he use to build the fleet in advance?What do you use to feed your private soldiers?Without a fleet, without private soldiers, what would he use to rise?

But from now on, Liu Jing probably won't need the "chamber" of Changleju anymore. When he comes to power in the future, the first thing to be strictly prohibited is Changleju and other gambling establishments.

"Well, Liu Zhongda, after announcing that the banquet was over, he continued to stay and drink."

When Liu Jing heard the words and turned his head, he saw Liu Yu, who was as tall and straight as a green pine, and as beautiful as a woman, walking towards him with slightly scattered footsteps.

"Can Wen Lang drink again?" Liu Jing teased with a smile on his face.Liu Yu is outstanding in talent, but has a wild and unruly personality. Although he has become his chief clerk since he became an official, he still calls him by his name in private, and Liu Jing never takes it seriously.

"Of course." Liu Yu replied without hesitation.Since he became an official, because of his busy schedule, he can no longer drink fine wine unscrupulously like before. After the outbreak of the war, he rarely had the opportunity to drink alcohol. Today, he can drink with his stomach open. Of course, he wants to drink to his heart's content.

Liu Jing took the jug and wine glass from the waiter next to him, and filled them up for Liu Zhen himself.

Liu Yu glanced at Liu Jing drunkenly, and said: "Zhongda, I have known you for many years, and this is the first time I have seen you so cheerful." Liu Yu is so sensitive, even though he is a little drunk, he can still feel the changes in Liu Jing.

Liu Jing raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and replied with a big smile: "Will you not be happy when you annihilate the enemy? Come on, Wen Lang, drink, drink..."

"Come on..." Liu Yu had no reason why he shouldn't.

The two drank and chatted under the moon, and at midnight, they were both very drunk and slept in the building.

The next day, Liu Jing, who has always been energetic, was not affected by the hangover and woke up from his deep sleep at dawn.

Looking at Liu Yu who was sleeping soundly on his back, Liu Jing shook his head with a smile, stepped to the window, opened the window, and saw that the sky was still gloomy, but fortunately there was no sign of rain.

At sunrise, a large number of fleets gathered in the south of Lingxian County, and all the generals came to the city tower one after another. There was a lot of noise inside and outside for a while, so Liu Yu naturally couldn't continue to sleep deeply and had to get up.

The reason why there was such a big battle early in the morning was because today was the day when Wang Qiang, Liu Zhu, and Ou Xiong went north.

Liu Jing led the crowd to bid farewell to the three of them, holding Wang Qiang's hand and said, "Zijian, I will leave the northern affairs to you."

Wang Qiang said with a gloomy expression: "The villain will live up to Jun Liu's trust, even if he loses his life, he will conquer Linxiang for Jun Liu."

"Zijian's words are wrong. If it's your life in exchange for Linxiang, I'd rather not." Liu Jing shook his head and said, "If you can't do anything, just go back, and then I will personally lead the army to attack Linxiang."

"No." Wang Qiang said in a deep voice.

Liu Jing then turned to Ou Xiong and said: "Wang Zijian and Liu Wenxiu lack popularity in Linxiang, and I am afraid that they will not be enough. However, they are well-known in Linxiang and have a prosperous clan. lies under one's feet."

Ou Xiong was quite proud of himself. Liu Jing's words were not wrong. Apart from Liu Jing, only Liu Zong could be compared with him. However, the Liu family in Longqiu had already moved south, and there was no family power in Linxiang to rely on. As for Cai Sheng, he is even more alone, not worth mentioning.

Ou Xiong clasped his fists and said: "Since Liu Jun thinks highly of me, I will definitely do my best to regain Linxiang for Liu Jun."

Liu Jing nodded slightly, and then said a few words to Liu Zhu, during which the two exchanged a vague look, everything was kept silent.

In terms of intimacy, Liu Zhu is the person Liu Jing trusts the most. As soon as Wang Qiang left yesterday, Liu Jing immediately summoned Liu Zhu's spy for a long time.

To be honest, Liu Jing was really worried about Wang Qiang, not because he was afraid of other things, but because Wang Qiang was a man of prey, and he would take revenge.He was able to chop off Gong Fu's head in front of Liu Jing, but once he was allowed to rush into Linxiang, wouldn't he be punished by Pan Qin for what he did to him in the past?

Moreover, Ou Xiong is also a narrow-tempered master who forgets his mistakes and forgets his good deeds, so we have to beware of him taking advantage of the chaos to avenge his personal revenge and kill others in vain.

It's not easy for Liu Jing to achieve his fame today, and it must not be ruined by them.

In fact, the most suitable candidate is a serious person who is stern and impartial, enforces the law and does not give anyone face. The custody can make Wang Qiang and Ou Xiong dare not do anything wrong.It's a pity that there were too many things after the war, and the flood made him even more dizzy. At this time, Liu Jing wished he could split the seriousness in half, how could he let him go.

What should be said, Liu Jing already said it to Liu Zhu yesterday, so there is no need to repeat it.

Wang Qiang, Liu Zhu, and Ou Xiong bowed deeply to Liu Jing, and then said goodbye to everyone, each boarded the battleship, and under the watchful eyes of Liu Jing and others, they entered the Xiangshui River against the city wall of Ling County, and went northward along the river. , gradually go away.
