Chapter 762 Xiangyang is just a springboard

Xiangyang City.

Although the battle ended, the gates of the four sides of the city were still closed, and the battle flag flying in the wind above the city told everyone that this city had changed hands.

In the city, although the situation is still full of people's hearts.

At the beginning, when the herdsmen entered the city, their strength was insufficient.

It can only be maintained by relying on the aristocrats to come forward.

Under pressure, they could only shoot some government soldiers to maintain order, but they intended to connive, so naturally they did not work hard, and did not improve the order in the city too much. Once the situation is chaotic, there will be some ambitious thugs, Taking advantage of the opportunity, they burned, killed and looted.

However, in this situation, as the main force of the Mu army completely entered the city, the soldiers in the city were freed up. Chen Gong directly eliminated [-] soldiers, and formed a team of [-] people into [-] queues to patrol the city. shoot to kill.

The hearts of the rioters in Xiangyang City were calmed down by killing.

In this way, the order in Xiangyang was temporarily stabilized.

But after all, they are foreigners, and they came in with knives and guns. The name is not right, and the rejection of them by this city is greater than they imagined.

Several times the patrolling soldiers in the night were attacked by inexplicable attacks.

On one occasion, three people were killed and twelve were injured.

Those who died were the soldiers of the Violent Bear Army. Zhou Cang was furious, and personally pursued the thugs who attacked at night, but thousands of soldiers were led by a few thugs for a night tour around Xiangyang City, and then disappeared.

If no one responds here, no one can justify it.

This is enough to show that the city is not welcome to the Mujun, from the aristocratic families to the ordinary people.

The occurrence of this situation made Mujing scratch his head a little.

"My lord, as long as you give the order, I slaughtered that Baokangfang and chased them all night. When I caught up with them, I disappeared. It must be one of the households in Baokangfang who hid them, but I couldn't find them." That's all!" Zhou Cang shouted in the main hall of the State Shepherd's Mansion.

It is understandable that his soldiers died on the battlefield, but they were attacked in this city again and again, three died the first time, one died the second time, two died the third time, and two died the third time. Four times, the fifth time... Seven or eight people had already died, which made him furious.

"A fang can range from dozens of households to hundreds of households, at least a few hundred people. Are you planning to slaughter them all?"

Mu Jing knelt before the case, with a calm expression, slightly raised his head, looked at the furious Zhou Cang, and asked calmly, "Do you want to slaughter those unarmed old and weak women and children?"

"I……"

Zhou Cang was speechless.

He fights on the battlefield and is used to life and death, but that doesn't mean he is completely cold-blooded and disregarding life. The herding army has been established for so long and has never killed any prisoners, let alone slaughtered the people.

He was angry and said yes.

Calm down, he even asked himself if he could make a move.

"Too many children in this city died at our hands on the battlefield. They hate us, and there is nothing they can do!"

Mu Jing waved his hand, "Order, the night watch team must not be separated, be careful, no one is allowed to be alone, and in addition, order everyone in Jingzhou Town of Jingwu Division to cooperate in cleaning up the resistance forces in the city. As long as there is evidence, arrest people directly. Don't be afraid!"

"promise!"

Several people took orders.

Zhou Cang could only leave angrily.

"My lord, this city won't be peaceful for a while!" Chen Gong cupped his hands and said, "Jingzhou has many talents, and Xiangyang occupies [-]% of them, but these talents are not for our use. If we force it, it will inevitably lead to repercussions. To govern Xiangyang, I am afraid that a large number of officials will need to be dispatched from Hanzhong!"

Xiangyang is the capital of Jingzhou, and there are indeed many talents here, but Mujing's reputation among scholars is too bad, and Pang Ji was killed in the Battle of Fancheng, which is enough to make Jingzhou scholars reject him.

Even if these people are willing to rely on him, he may not dare to use them. He can suppress one, but not a group. If a group of scholars have two hearts, using them is tantamount to killing themselves.

So this made him fall into a stalemate in Xiangyang, and he couldn't stabilize at all.

"Not necessary for now!"

Mu Jing shook his head, and there was a bright light in his eyes: "This Xiangyang City, we may not be able to eat it!"

"My lord, what do you mean is that Xiangyang City cannot be defended?"

Chen Gong frowned.

"No!" Mu Jing still shook his head: "I mean, what I wanted was never Xiangyang City. Xiangyang is just a springboard. I won't spend my energy here. Now is not the time for me to sit in Xiangyang. The city, what will happen in the future, I will say in the future, although I have taken it down now, but I will dedicate it to Yizhou!"

"Yizhou Liu Yanbu said that it will be ours if it is defeated!"

"That's why it's a gift, not a handover!"

Mujing Road.

"Then we'll work hard to fight it down..." Chen Gong gritted his teeth, not knowing what to say.

"Our blood and sweat, poured down, are valuable!"

Mu Jing said calmly.

Since ancient times, those who achieve great things cannot be limited to the gains and losses of one city and one place.

What he needed was Liu Yan's trust.

"I don't understand!" Chen Gong frowned, he was only in charge of the strategy of the Jingzhou campaign, the big game in Mu Jing's heart, in the Minghou Mansion, very few people knew about it.

"You will move in the future!"

Mu Jing didn't say much, because now is not the time to talk.

Chen Gong took a deep look at Mujing, and didn't continue to ask. With his wisdom, he had already touched a corner. The more he was like this, the more he felt that Mujing was a little unfathomable. This young protagonist made him a little scared.

"Liu Biao has now confiscated his troops, is there any change?"

Mu Jing asked.

"The spies just found out today. It seems that Liu Biao has left the Green Forest Mountains. Under the main guard led by Wenpin, he is heading towards Jiangxia!" Chen Gong replied, "But around Xiangyang, Huang Zu and Deng Long The main force of the army is still holding us back, Huang Zu's troops are not many, he has already occupied Yicheng, Deng Long's troops have retreated to Caiyang, but he still has a navy in his hand, controlling the Jishui waterway!"

"So, Liu Biao is going to retreat to Jiangxia?"

Mu Jing narrowed his eyes.

"Nine times out of ten!" Chen Gong said: "With the loss of Xiangyang, he doesn't have a foothold. It is impossible to fight us again. He must find a foothold before he can regroup his troops!"

"What about Huang Zu?"

"Huang Zu was tricked by us once, Liu Biao didn't kill him, it was considered kind, he still dared to object, and still wanted to hold Jiang Xia in his hands, that would be his own death, he shouldn't be so stupid!"

"Then he is willing?"

"Not necessarily willingly, but more helplessly!"

"There are articles to do!"

"Disaster!"

"Try it!" Mu Jing smiled: "Jingzhou people are xenophobic. We can beat Xiangyang, but we may not be able to stabilize Jingzhou. If there are Jingzhou people as representatives, they will join us, then it will allow us to completely stand in Jingzhou." Stand firm!"

"The idea is good, but it's too difficult to operate. Huang Zu must hate us now!" Chen Gong hesitated for a moment, and said softly.

"When a person has nowhere to go, don't say he hates it to the bone, even if it is revenge for killing his father, he has to let go!" Mu Jing sneered.

"Then I'll arrange it!"

"Make a big move, let everyone in Jingzhou know that we are recruiting him, and then vaguely link the previous battle with him. It is best to arouse Liu Biao's fear and disgust towards him!"

"Yes!" Chen Gong nodded.

Matters big and small are now on Chen Gong's shoulders. After reporting to Mu Jing for a while, he left to deal with some affairs in the city.
