Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 787 The obvious ambition

Two days later, the heavy rain had stopped and the sky cleared and the sun was shining brightly.

However, the ground of Jingzhou City is still like a muddy road. Although the flood from the flood did not cover the entire Jingzhou City, it also soaked the ground of Jingzhou City, and because of this, many houses that had been in disrepair for a long time collapsed.

The casualties caused were not small.

It's just that compared to the real flooding of Jingzhou, this is just an insignificant casualty.

After the Jingzhou army entered the city, they first guarded the Sifang city wall with heavy troops, closed the city for integration, pasted notices to appease the people, and then set up the Sifang military camp in the city, and sent patrol soldiers to patrol day and night to maintain order.

The defeat of the Jingzhou army was a fact, and the people in the city gradually accepted it. However, Jingzhou City was still in a depression. The shops did not dare to open, and the people did not dare to go out. They were all in panic.

At this time, Liu Yan entered the city.

Liu Yan rode a tall horse, escorted by the personal guard battalion, and greeted by the Wanjun, and entered the city step by step.

"Congratulations, lord!"

Zhang Ren and Yan Yan bowed their hands in salute.

"How is the situation in the city?" Liu Yan reined in his horse, stopped, and asked in a deep voice.

"There were some civil disturbances before, but they have been initially suppressed. It's just that the people in Jingzhou have always had a grudge against us. Now the whole city is depressed. People dare not leave their homes and shops dare not open!" Zhang Ren said with his hands clasped.

"Jingzhou City is the main city of Nanjun!"

Liu Yan said calmly: "You can't go on like this forever, you must do your best to appease the hearts of the people!"

"promise!"

Zhang Ren and Yan Yan took orders.

With the two leading the way, Liu Yan entered the county government mansion smoothly. The backyard of the mansion had been cleaned up, and it happened to be Liu Yan's place of residence, so he settled down here for the time being.

The news of Liu Yan's entry into the city spread quickly.

This is useful to appease the people.

After all, the common people have to live, and it is impossible to hide all the time. Before they hid, they were afraid of harming the fish pond. Now that Liu Yan entered the city, it meant that the intruder was not a slaughterer, but a ruler of the city.

Some big squires in the city are also ready to move. They are more anxious than ordinary people. After all, under the alternation of power, their land deeds, house deeds, etc. will undergo changes. If one is not careful, the family will be ransacked and wiped out.

At this juncture of power changes, standing in line is also a skill. Whether to be loyal to the old club or cater to the new club, different choices lead to different results.

Some are right and some are wrong.

Some people ransacked their families and exterminated their families, while others reached the sky in one step.

However, Liu Yan did not manage Jingzhou City immediately. Now he has bigger arrangements, so he can't care about going to Jingzhou City for the time being, because after taking down Jingzhou City, the battle of Jingzhou has become very clear.

At this time, whether to pursue and fight fiercely, or to truce and rectify, this is a matter of choice.

Liu Yan summoned all the generals in Yizhou to discuss military affairs in the hall of the county government.

Under Yizhou's command, the main three armies are Dongzhou Army, Berkshire Army, and Yizhou Army.

In addition, there are Jiange soldiers under Pang Xi's command and Guanghan soldiers under Zhang Su's command.

There are more than [-] troops in total, and all the commanders are at the same level.

The representative of the Mu army, Mu Jing, Xi Zhicai, and Huang Zhong, among the invited to the meeting, officially participated in the military discussion meeting of the Yizhou Army.

This is also what Mujing's testimonial taught.

Even if Liu Yan didn't really trust Mu Jing in his heart, he would have to express it because of Mu Jing's great contribution.

Mujing took down Jingzhou City without any effort. If he didn't express such a great achievement, he wouldn't be known as a clear reward and punishment.

So no matter whether he trusts Mujing or not, at least on the bright side, he has to take an attitude of respecting Mujing, so that his subordinates can be fierce, fight and make meritorious deeds regardless of their own lives.

Liu Yan is very good at employing people.

……

After the heavy rain, the windows on all sides were opened, and even the lobby could breathe a breath of clear air.

Liu Yan is at the top.

Mu Jing accompanied him to the last seat.

All the generals gathered together, and everyone was talking freely.

"My lord, we will take advantage of the victory to pursue and break Jingzhou in one fell swoop!"

"My lord, after repeated battles, all the subordinates are exhausted, and it is not suitable to fight any more!"

"My lord, with such a great opportunity, how can we give up? When the battle ends, the rebellious minister Liu Biao will be wiped out, and the land of Jingzhou will be seized!"

"My lord, Jingzhou has a vast land and rich resources, and the strength of soldiers and horses is still there. If you rush forward easily, in case you are afraid of being ambushed, temporarily truce and consolidate Jingzhou City is the right way!"

"..."

The generals are arguing endlessly over whether to continue to attack or temporarily truce.

Liu Yan also hesitated.

So for most of the hour, these generals were allowed to argue, and he didn't speak a word.

Mu Jing's company at the bottom was actually just a cutscene, so he didn't say anything, but he didn't do anything, he was taking this great opportunity to carefully observe every Yizhou general.

Whether these Yizhou generals can be enemies or friends in the future needs to be considered.

"Dragon Figure!"

Liu Yan suddenly suppressed his hand, restraining the generals to speak freely, and looked straight at Mujing.

"Master, did you call me?" Mu Jing raised his head to meet Liu Yan's gaze.

Liu Yan said indifferently: "I see that you are contemplating and deliberating, and you have a plan, so do you think that at this moment, you should take advantage of the victory and pursue it, or temporarily truce and consolidate the city?"

Mu Jing froze for a moment, why did he ask himself the question.

He was thinking not to be too ostentatious, so after making meritorious deeds, he kept his own place and acted as a display, but since Liu Yan asked the question, he couldn't keep a low profile. Therefore, in front of the generals, he stepped out, bowed his hands, and said: "My lord, the general thinks that at this moment, it is inappropriate to continue to pursue the soldiers of Jingzhou?"

"Why?"

Zhang Ren's eyes were vivid, staring at Mu Jing.

During the battle in Jingzhou City, he understood Mujing better, and at the same time, he was even more afraid of Mujing. He was not afraid of an ambitious person, but he was afraid that this ambitious person would still have the ability to master the world.

He has seen Mujing's ability, but he has never been able to understand Mujing's ambition. This is the root of his fear.

"It's a fluke to win this battle!"

Mu Jing said softly: "The next battlefield will be more of a river battlefield. We will go down the Yangtze River, and then there will be Chibi. Chibi is a water village pass. If you don't pass Chibi in one month, if you don't cross Chibi, you won't be able to attack Jiangxia!"

"Then you mean a truce?"

Liu Yan narrowed his eyes, his pupils flickered, and asked softly.

"No!" Mu Jing shook his head.

"Then what do you mean?" Liu Yan asked.

"My lord, Jingzhou has a vast land and abundant resources. We are only inferior to the main city. At this moment, Xiangyang and Jingzhou City are all under our control. From now on, the western part of Jingzhou, Nanjun, Wuling, and dozens of counties are all at our fingertips!"

Mu Jing said softly: "Why didn't we divide our forces to seize the city, and took the entire Nanjun and Wuling!"

He then began to draw cakes for Liu Yan and the generals: "All the generals know that we cannot sustain a long-term battle, not because the generals are weak, but because the journey is far away. Take it down, and then let the lord send out bright officials to appease the people, reorganize production, accumulate food, build workshops, and make weapons. Why do we have to transport logistics from Yizhou mountains and rivers, as long as we gather troops? Here, we can fight with the Jingzhou army for a long time, and with every step of the way, Jingzhou is already in our pocket!"

"That's a good idea!"

"Although Jingzhou is big, with Nanjun and Wuling, half of the country is already in our hands!"

"In this way, we don't have to rely on Yizhou to fight at all, but we can let go of our hands and feet to fight!"

All the generals looked at each other, but they all agreed with Mu Jing's proposal.

"Hahaha, Longtu is worthy of being the son of a certain man!"

Liu Yan laughed and praised.

"The lord has won the prize!"

Mu Jing was very modest, and replied: "The last general is just a mere cleverness, but he can't compare to the great wisdom of Marquis Liu, so he shouldn't, he shouldn't!"

At this moment, the generals' eyes were not on Mu Jing, but on Liu Yan.

None of them are fools.

Liu Yanming praised Mu Jing on the surface, but it was his own ambition hidden in it. He won half of Jingzhou, which was enough to support his ambition, so he had no scruples, even in front of the generals, he dared to speak up.

His words clearly revealed his ambition.

What is the ovary?

Zhang Liang, Zhang Zifang.

Zhang Liang was one of the three heroes in the early Han Dynasty, and the important thing is that he was assisted by Liu Bang.

If Mu Jing is Zhang Liang, then the person he wants is already obvious.

He wants to be Liu Bang.

Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was determined to be the great Han Dynasty in the midst of the hegemony of the heroes.
