Chapter 534
As Tai Shici fell into silence again, seeing the atmosphere gradually froze, Tai Shimu hurriedly said: "It's very cold outside, general, please come in and talk in the dormitory."

"Then bother you." Liu Jing nodded slightly.Tai Shici's family is currently living in a common people's house. The house is neither extravagant nor narrow, and it is just big enough to accommodate his whole family.

Liu Jing followed Tai Shici's mother and son through the courtyard and entered the hall. Before he was seated, he said to Tai Shici again: "Jiangdong lives in a corner. , to revive the Han Dynasty. I have always had great ambitions, don’t you want to follow me to the Kanto, and receive the achievements in Heluo? And on the day of success, there will be a tripod bell on it, and the bamboo and silk will be inscribed, compared with the ancestors, and will be immortal. Beautiful!"

Liu Jing's words fully revealed his inner ambitions. He had an irresistible attraction to Tai Shici who was determined to assist the Ming Lord and make contributions to the world. For the first time, Tai Shici showed a struggle on his face.

Liu Jing was overjoyed when he saw this, knowing that Tai Shici's heart had already been moved, he continued to insist: "The righteousness of your step is more important than this, and I don't want to be ridiculed by the members of the army. To the west of Jingzhou today, Fangling, Shangyong, and Xicheng are newly established. , because the land is mountainous and closed, there are thieves from time to time causing chaos, I intend to use my foot as a town to protect Zhonglang and generals to control the chaos, but I don’t know what to do if I am not satisfied?"

Wu Yuan is Wu Zixu, who was originally from the state of Chu. Because his father and brother were killed by the king of Chu, he fled to the state of Wu.Although Wu Zixu betrayed the state of Chu to avenge his father, it was justifiable, but he was still ridiculed by later generations.

Liu Jing knew that Tai Shici attached great importance to his reputation, so in order to prevent him from being infamous for betraying his master, he promised not to let him face his old master.

Liu Jing was so considerate of others that Taishi's mother stood up involuntarily, staring at her son for a moment.

Tai Shici sighed in his heart. Liu Jing first released his mother, wife and children unconditionally, and now he personally came to recruit him. In order to fulfill his reputation, he did not hesitate to make various concessions. Even he felt that Liu Jing's actions were a little too much. up.

Meeting Liu Jing's expectant eyes, Tai Shici was powerless to refuse, bowed down and said: "Ci is an enemy of the general, and he has committed an unforgivable crime. The general is as high as the world, and treats him with a special gift. Ci is extremely ashamed. I belong to the general, and I will do the work of a dog and a horse, and I will wait until the end of the festival, and that's all."

Liu Jing was overjoyed after hearing this, stepped forward to help Tai Shici, held his hand tightly, and said with a smile: "Ziyi is a hero in the north, using it for Jiangbiao is like killing a chicken with a knife, and Ziyi is galloping in the north." In the future, Ziyi will be the master of my North Dao."

The master of the Northern Dao was the words sent by the ancestor Guangwu to Geng Yan. Geng Yan was compared to Han Xin by Emperor Guangwu. Tai Shici was heartbroken when he heard it, and he clasped his fists and said loudly: "No."

"Hahaha……"

The next day, Liu Jing replaced the magistrates of Ai and Xi two counties, and left hundreds of soldiers to garrison Xi'an, and then returned to Chaisang with Tai Shici.

At the beginning of December, when Zhuge Liang returned from Luling, Liu Jing immediately decided to withdraw his troops and return to Jingzhou.Mingli was responding to the call of the emperor and Cao Cao to stop the soldiers and calm down the people, but in fact he was digesting the results of the battle, waiting for the opportunity, and preparing for the second round of attack.

Therefore, Liu Jing only planned to take a small number of troops with him when he withdrew his troops back to Jing, and most of the warships remained in Yuzhang and Luling counties to stand by.

Liu Jing didn't think about other candidates for Liuzhen, but Zhuge Liang was the only one who had a good ear, and ordered Zhuge Liang to supervise Yangzhou as a military division, under the jurisdiction of Yuzhang and Luling counties, and fully responsible for Jiangdong affairs.

On the day Liu Jing left, Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu, Gan Ning, Huang Zhong, Wang Qiang, Liu Zhu, etc. stayed in Wenwu Town to see him off at Penkou.

Liu Jing stood on the bank of the Panshui, and said to the civil and military leaders headed by Zhuge Liang: "After I leave, I will entrust this place to the gentlemen."

Zhuge Liang and others said: "General, please rest assured that the ministers will live up to the general's trust."

Liu Jingjing nodded, and led Zhuge Liang to stroll along the banks of the Panshui River, saying as he walked, "It's a matter of expediency for me to return to Xiangyang this time. I will return to Yuzhang in the spring and summer of next year at the latest. I will not go to Jiangdong by then. I swear Don't return the teacher. Kong Ming, you don't have much time left, you have to stabilize the second county as soon as possible, win the hearts of the people, and strive to turn the second county into a base for us to attack Jiangdong."

"Yes." Zhuge Liang knew the heavy burden on his shoulders, and his expression was extraordinarily serious.

Liu Jing looked at the river from a distance and said to Zhuge Liang: "In the past, Deng Yu rode across the north and went to the ancestors. He often stayed in the middle and discussed with him. Every time Deng Yu made a move, he regarded it as his talent. The ancestors said: "Since I have returned, the disciples will be close." It is Han Xin's business to teach him the strategy of discussing in the west and the responsibility of taking charge of the field. "

Liu Jing paused for a moment, then continued: "The reason why the ancestors were able to sweep the world and achieve great things is Deng Yu's contribution. Although he failed in Guanzhong, it is not a burden."

Liu Jing turned his gaze back to Zhuge Liang, and finally said: "Kong Ming, my expectations for you are just like the ancestors for Deng Yu. Deng Yu left Zhenguanzhong at the age of 23, and you are just 23 years old this year, and you are also in charge. I hope you can learn from it. Deng Yu's teachings are tolerant, tolerant, and serious, guarding the East for me, so that in the future I will make great contributions to my predecessors, and it is not impossible."

Although Zhuge Liang was a serious person, he was still greatly moved when he heard the words, calmed down a little, and replied calmly: "General Chunchun's words are poured into his heart, and Liang will keep them in his heart. He will definitely use his loyalty and wisdom so as not to disappoint the general."

Liu Jing smiled and said, "Kong Ming never disappoints me."

Then he said to Zhuge Liang and all the civil and military personnel who followed him: "Send you a thousand miles, and there will be a farewell. You should stop here."

After all, board the ship off the shore.

Respectfully sent off by Zhuge Liang and other civil and military personnel, the ship slowly sailed out of the Huangshui River, entered the vast river, and was escorted by hundreds of boats and ships, traveling upstream to the west.

Compared with going downstream when coming, Liu Jing went upstream at the time of return, and the speed was half as slow. Since it was already the twelfth lunar month, in order to return to Xiangyang before Zhengdan, Liu Jing didn't even go to Shaxian, Huang Zu's residence, and went directly through the Xia Dynasty. The mouth returns to the north.

This expedition to Yuzhang, Huang Zu, Huang She and his sons contributed a lot. Huang Zu provided military supplies in the rear, and Huang She fought bravely in the front. The father and son did their best. Huang Zu's new arrival was unavoidable, so Liu Jing wrote a special letter appease.

Fortunately, Liu Jing intends to call the magistrates of the counties to discuss important matters in the spring of next year. Huang Zu will also attend, and it will not be too late to reward them face to face.

The fleet sailed day and night, hurriedly and slowly, and finally returned to Xiangyang at the end of December. Liu Zong, Deng Zhi, Huan Jie, Lai Gong and other important officials who stayed behind led Jingzhou civil and military officials to welcome them to Jindu.
