Chapter 304

The reason why Wang Qiang compromised was because the Pan family was a piece of meat to him, allowing him to be slaughtered, he could "settle the score after the autumn", and he didn't have to rush it for a while. There was really no need to conflict with Liu Zhu over this.

Seeing that Wang Qiang made a concession, Liu Zhu couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. He didn't want to have a conflict with Wang Qiang, but just to maintain Liu Jing's reputation, he had to stand up bravely.

Also heaving a sigh of relief, there were dozens of members of the Pan family, who kowtowed to Liu Zhu again and again to thank him for his life.Of course, I did not forget to thank Wang Qiang for not killing him.

Pan Qin used high interest rates to force loan borrowers to death, and forced his wives and daughters. I don't know how many things he committed.

However, people have two sides. Although he has many evil deeds, he is a filial son. Before he died, he did not forget to kowtow goodbye to his old mother. His words and deeds revealed his true feelings, which moved Ren.

In the end, Pan Qin and the four thugs were all beheaded by Wang Qiang himself.Originally, there was one other person, but this person passed away due to illness last year, making Wang Qiang want to kill him but could not.

Pan Qin had previously said that he was willing to exchange all his wealth in exchange for the chance of his family's survival. Wang Qiang and Liu Zhu naturally accepted it unceremoniously.

Pan Qin's claim that "the family has a huge fortune and is rich in Changsha" is not false. Wang Qiang and Liu Zhu sent hundreds of soldiers under their command to confiscate the assets of the Pan family. After preliminary statistics, gold, silver, money, cloth, etc. The money is as high as about 3000 million, and there are more than [-] dendrobium.

And this is less than half of his total assets. Pan Qin is a Ziqian family who makes money by lending and collecting interest. There are a lot of debts outside. If they are all recovered, plus land and other businesses, etc., the net worth will be at least 8000 million or more. .

Wang Qiang and Liu Zhu were secretly amazed by Pan Qin's huge wealth, and it was not that they had never seen the world. Back then, they followed Liu Jing to exterminate the Gong family and the ten surnames of Pingyang and Zhongshui, and the harvest was roughly the same. that is it.From this we can see how amazing Pan Chin's wealth is.

Wang Qiang was not polite about real estate such as land property and villas, and directly divided it with Liu Zhu privately. The two have been in charge of Liu Jing's fleet for many years, selling goods from north to south, and accumulated some wealth, but they did not wantonly buy land.Now the two have leapt from "proletarians" to big landlords with thousands of acres of fertile land and more than ten properties.

Afterwards, the two each withdrew 200 million yuan and [-] pieces of cloth, and all the remaining property was sealed up for Liu Jing to receive in the future.

It was nearly noon when he came out of Pan's mansion, Wang Qiang said to Liu Zhu, "Wenxiu, although we have successfully recovered Linxiang, the four counties of Luoxian, Yiyang, Xiajun, and Hanchang in the north of Changsha are still in the hands of the enemy. At present, the northern army is completely gone, and the four counties are empty, and Cai Mao has become a bereaved dog, so there is nothing to worry about. At this time, when he leads his troops to the north, the officials and people of the four counties will kill the senior officials in response, and the whole north can be recovered easily."

Liu Zhu frowned and said, "Now that Linxiang is newly established, someone needs to be stationed here. Who will stay in Linxiang, and who will lead the troops to the north?"

"I will stay in Linxiang, and you will lead your troops to the north." Wang Qiang obviously thought about this a long time ago, and said happily.

From reminding to prevent floods, to suggesting strategies to attack Linxiang, his contribution is so great, not to mention that no one can match it, even Liu Zong, the commander of the navy, can't hold him down.At this time, if you don't know how to restrain yourself and continue to "grab credit", it will definitely arouse the disgust of the generals.Therefore, Wang Qiang offered to stay in Linxiang and give Liu Zhu the credit for recovering the northern counties of Changsha.

Liu Zhu obviously understood Wang Qiang's situation, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll gather the warships and go north. After I leave, Linxiang will be handed over to you. If you encounter problems, communicate with Huan Jun more often, and don't act arbitrarily." .”

Wang Qiang is brave and resourceful. In terms of leading troops and fighting, Liu Zhu may not be his opponent, but when it comes to dealing with people, Wang Qiang is far behind him.

"I see." Wang Qiang nodded slightly. "Wenxiu, be careful all the way."

At the end of the day, Liu Zhu assembled hundreds of warships in Beijin, and under the watchful eyes of Wang Qiang, Huan Jie and others, he set sail to the north.

Liu Zhu's style of using troops is completely different from Wang Qiang's. Wang Qiang is astonishingly courageous, cunning, and adventurous. If it were him who led the troops northward, he would definitely ignore Luo County, Yiyang, Hanchang, etc., and drive straight to Baba on the south bank of the Yangtze River. mound.

Once Baqiu is taken down, Jiangkou is blocked, and then turned around to deal with the four counties in the north of Changsha, it will immediately become a situation of "closing the door and beating the dog".

Of course, this kind of aggressive strategy has great benefits but also great risks. If one goes wrong, it may put oneself in a dangerous situation.

Liu Zhu has always been prudent when using troops. He adopted a strategy of step by step, steady and steady, pushing all the way.Luo County was the first difficulty in front of him. With the cooperation of the officials and people in the city, Liu Zhu regained Luo County in just a few days, and then divided his troops to decide Yiyang and Hanchang. Cheng responded.

However, it took some time for Liu Zhu to pacify the counties. Cai Mao got a little respite and urgently dispatched a batch of warships from Nanjun on the north bank.

Therefore, when Liu Zhu led the fleet to Baqiu, trying to clear the last foothold of the Northern Army in Changsha, they were immediately hit with blood.Even when retreating in a panic, he was raided by Cai Mao's fireboat and lost ten large ships.

This defeat made Liu Zhu Rumeng wake up, knowing that with his current strength, it would be impossible to regain Baqiu, so he had to retreat to Luo County temporarily, and then make a long-term plan.

When Liu Zhu attacked the northern counties of Changsha, Liu Jing, who was far away in Ling County, finally received the news of Ke's return to Linxiang after several days of waiting.

For this operation, Liu Jing is quite confident, but there is no foolproof plan in the world. Ever since Wang Qiang, Liu Zhu, and Ou Xiong led their troops to the north, he has been feeling restless, and now he can finally feel at ease.

At this time, Liu Jing had to rush to Linxiang as quickly as possible to take charge of the overall situation, so he could only temporarily give up welcoming his wife, children, mother and brother in Leiyang, and stayed with Liu Zong to guard Lingxian seriously. go north.

Although returning home is like an arrow, when passing through Hengshan Township, Liu Jing still called Shan Ri to meet each other, and the two sat in the Chuanju room of the building, chatting and drinking.

Shan Riyi, wearing rope shoes in green clothes and wearing a big gold ring in his ear, raised his glass and said with a smile: "The Jingzhou army has a hundred thousand soldiers, and they have the heart to swallow Xiang and Heng. I thought this must be a protracted war. How could it be? It is expected to be over in just one month. Liu Jun is really a god!"

During this month, he led his troops to attack the Jingzhou Army's supply ships on the Xiangshui River several times, and his greatest achievement was undoubtedly in the valley to lure the Jingzhou Army in Hengshan Township. He beheaded more than a thousand ranks in the first battle. Shoot with your own hands.

Originally, he planned to make more military exploits in order to show his strength in front of Liu Jing, but he didn't expect that the Jingzhou army would be so weak that he would not be given a chance at all.
