Chapter 153: Persuading Surrender (fourth update)
"If Liu Qi is the governor of Jingzhou, what about me?"

Jingzhou Xiangyang Prefectural Mu should now be called the governor's residence.

Liu Cong was roaring unwillingly at the people under his command. He was Jingzhou Mu, and he was Zhennan General Wuchenghou. He even felt that his next step would be to do what his father failed to do back then.

But all this has disappeared today.

The imperial court separated Xiangyang and other counties from Nanjun and established Xiangyang County, with Kuai Yue officially serving as the governor of Xiangyang County.

At the same time, Kuai Yue and Cai Mao issued new appointments in his name, with Pang Shanmin as the governor of Nanjun and Pang Tong as the captain of Nanjun, stationed in Jiangling, the former capital of Chu Ying.

Okay, it's nothing like this, but it is also reasonable to take Shen Dan as Shangyong Prefect and Kuai Qi as Shangyong Captain.
But then, the imperial court abolished Zhangling County and merged it into Nanyang County. Although this was a bit of a substitution, he couldn't say anything.

But what Liu Cong never expected was that he, the Jingzhou Shepherd, would also be abolished!

"Why would my father give up the position of Jingzhou Mu to Liu Qi? He is so incompetent, how can he have the face to take on such an important responsibility? How can he have the face!"

Seeing Liu Cong being so furious, even to the point of being unscrupulous, Cai Mao and Kuai Yue, who were not far away, also looked at each other, then shook their heads silently and spoke one after another.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't want to be a shepherd in Jingzhou. Now that the troubled times are calming down, why don't you find a Taiping official position and join the court?"

"Sir, now"

"I am Jingzhou Mu, not a young master!" Liu Cong directly interrupted Kuai Yue and Cai Mao, his eyes almost bursting with flames, "Is it possible that Cai Gong and Kuai Gong also want to leave?" Did I leave?"

Seeing Liu Cong like this, Cai Hao felt disdainful, but he could only adjust his mentality again.

"The court must have misunderstood this matter. Naturally, we will not give up on Liu Jingzhou."

"But I'm afraid Liu Qi has already gotten the news, and Liu Xuande certainly won't."

"Liu Jingzhou can rest assured!" Kuai Yue finally stood up at this time. This Jingzhou wise man who had been silent for too long interrupted Liu Cong's words and worries without hesitation.

"We have just received the news that Prime Minister Cao Mengde is now leading a hundred thousand elite troops to inspect Jingxiang and will arrive in Nanyang in the near future.

We might as well raise our troops to meet him. As long as the imperial court is in charge of Xiangyang, even if Liu Xuande has the ability to conquer the sky, there will be nothing he can do! "

"Mr. Yidu, what do you mean by this? Could it be that you want me to give away this huge Jingzhou?"

"Liu Jingzhou's words cannot be said. Prime Minister Cao is patrolling the world on behalf of the emperor, and behind him is our Han Dynasty court.

Even when the old master was still alive, he considered himself a loyal and loyal minister, but now he has just returned to the court. How can he be regarded as surrendering to others? "

"I" Liu Cong's face looked a little ugly at this time, and he seemed to want to scold him, but looking at the faces of Kuai Yue and Cai Hao, he did not dare to say anything, "Does Mr. Cai think the same way?"

"Not only the general, but also Mr. Pang Ji, Deng Xi, Han Song and others all have this idea."

Following Cai Mao's words, the door of this hall opened again, and soon Xu Si, Deng Xi, Han Song, Pang Ji, and even celebrities who lived in Jingzhou to educate Jingzhou.

Such as Fu Xun from the north, the great Confucian Song Zhong, the famous scholar Qi Wukai and others.
Seeing these people swarming in without his orders, Liu Cong's face became even more ugly, but when he saw them all asking him to surrender to Cao Cao.

All the anger in Liu Cong's heart immediately dissipated.

At this moment, he even felt weak. Why did he look like this after ascending to this coveted position?
"Gentlemen, have you forgotten that we resisted Cao Cao and Duke Cao's army several times back then? Why do you want to surrender without a fight today?"

"Today is different from the past!" Kuai Yue stood up again, bowed towards Liu Cong and said, "Before, Duke Cao was attacked from both sides, but the Central Plains was the place where four battles took place. There might be Zhang Xiu in Nanyang, Lu Bu in Xuzhou, Huainan Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao in the north often caused trouble, so when the late lord was still alive, they could only resist and unite with each other.

But now that the late lord has passed away, the princes in the world have been destroyed, and the remaining people are just hanging on. How can they compete with Duke Cao?
Moreover, Duke Cao has now conquered the world, destroyed the Yuan family in the north, and has strong soldiers and horses with strong morale. Now a hundred thousand troops are marching south in an instant. How can we resist? "

"you"

"Liu Jingzhou, please be careful!"

"Liu Jingzhou please be careful"

Looking at the people who were all prostrating themselves, looking at Cai Hao who couldn't stop his smile even as he lowered his head, looking at the "celebrities" in Jingzhou in front of him, looking at these humeral arm assistants that he thought he had.
Liu Cong suddenly felt a little ridiculous in his heart. This was simply ridiculous, ridiculous!

But all his ridiculousness, absurdity, and anger slowly dissipated. Looking at the group of people in front of him, Liu Cong was very smart, so he knew very well that they were not here to ask for instructions or give him advice.

This is to tell himself that they have made a decision and hope that he can set an example and give everyone a name.

If he didn't agree with Liu Cong, I don't know if they would do this, but Liu Cong felt that if he told him, he might die suddenly, and then let his useless brother Liu Xiu take a huge advantage.

"You have already decided, right?"

There was no strength in Liu Cong's tone, as if he had lost everything at that moment.

"I'm just giving you advice."

"Suggestions, haha." Liu Cong looked at Kuai Yue in front of him, and finally understood why his father said before his death that Kuai Yue was good and generous, but he was a hundred times better than Kuai Yue.

This person's heart has never been in Jingzhou.

"That's all, who is willing to send me a letter of surrender?"

"Song Zhong is willing to go!" As a great scholar, Song Zhong may not be as good as Pang Ji in some aspects, but at this time Pang Ji did not intend to take action, and Kuai Yue did not recommend that Pang Ji take action.

Song Zhong was well-known and virtuous, and had some reputation with Cao Mengde, so he became the best candidate.

"In that case, I'd like to trouble Mr. Zhongzi." Liu Cong fell directly to the ground. He didn't straighten his clothes or tidy up his clothes. He just casually opened the silk book.

Soon, a memorial representing Jingzhou's surrender appeared in his hand, and he respectfully took out the seal representing Jingzhou's rights.

Once upon a time, he thought that he got Jingzhou when he got this, but now he discovered that it did not represent Jingzhou.

"Haha. This seems to be the first time that the boy has officially used the Jingzhou Muxi, haha!"

With a sigh and seal, the memorial and the tiger talisman representing Jingzhou's military power were handed over to Song Zhong, while Liu Cong returned to the back house with a lonely look on his face.

At the door, he also met Wang Wei who came in a hurry.

"Sir, the general has heard that Cao Mengde's army is coming, and he has a plan to break it."

"That's it!" Liu Cong raised his hand to interrupt Wang Wei's words, and said softly with a shocked expression on his face, "I don't want to hear it anymore."
