Soldiers come to the world

Under the dim moonlight, a tragic breakout battle had just ended in the wilderness outside the West Camp. Yu Jin and Zang Ba led [-] troops to break through the siege. Under the intensive interception of rounds of arrows, [-] Cao troops were killed. More than halfway through, Yu Jin and Zang Ba still led hundreds of people to break out and fled westward.

Without the leadership of the general, the remaining Cao soldiers no longer had the will to resist. They would die if they broke through the siege, and they would be burned to death if they returned to the barracks. They had no choice but to surrender. Tens of thousands of Cao soldiers kneeled all over the wilderness , put their hands on top of their heads.

"We surrender! Surrender!"

The sound of surrender resounded through the wilderness, and large groups of soldiers knelt down on the ground. Teams of Jiangxia Army soldiers walked through the prisoners of war, confiscated their weapons, and suppressed the enemy who tried to resist. Push it in front of Liu Jing.

It is unbelievable to say that when Cao Jun fled, internal strife broke out. Outside the gate of Xiying, a conflict broke out because of fighting for road. Zhao Yan and more than a hundred of his soldiers were surrounded by thousands of angry Cao soldiers. Most of the soldiers were killed. At a critical juncture, Zhao Yan was rescued by Jiang Xia's soldiers and at the same time became a prisoner of Jiang Xia's army.

Zhao Yan was pushed in front of Liu Jing and stood proudly. The surrounding soldiers shouted loudly, "Kneel down!"

Zhao Yan snorted, but ignored him. At this moment, Liu Jing waved his hands and said to the left and right: "Untie him!"

The soldiers untied Zhao Yan, and Liu Jing smiled slightly: "Zhao Hujun, I will give you a choice. If you want to go back, I will let you go. If you are willing to serve me, I will appoint you as the governor of Jingzhou. I will exchange it with Prime Minister Cao for your son, how about it?"

Zhao Yan bowed his head and thought for a long time. The [-] Cao army in Anlu County was wiped out in his hands. He had no face to go to see Cao Cao, and knew that he was deeply hated by Cao army. He sighed, knelt down on one knee and clasped his fists and said, "I would like to serve the state shepherd." !"

Liu Jing was overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and said with a smile: "Liu Jing has heard of the Duke's name for a long time, and it is a blessing for Liu Jing to be born today!"

Zhao Yan thought that he once took refuge in Liu Biao, and then abandoned him. After 13 years, he still returned to Jingzhou. This is his destiny. He smiled wryly, "Zhao Yan is willing to do his best to serve the state shepherd."

Liu Jing ordered his soldiers to take Zhao Yan back to the boat to change clothes and rest. At this time, he asked the left and right: "Who has caught Sima Yi?"

Compared to Zhao Yan, Liu Jing valued Sima Yi more. If he got Sima Yi, it would be no less than getting Zhuge Liang. He could fight Zhuge Liang. This time was a great opportunity to seize Sima Yi. If he lost it, he would regret it too late.

The soldiers went around and asked around, and came back to report: "Report to Zhou Mu, no one has seen Sima Yi!"

Liu Jing was secretly surprised, did Sima Yi follow Yu Jin and Zang Ba to break through?

At this moment, someone laughed loudly from a distance: "Zhou Mu, I'm here to receive the reward!"

It was Gan Ning's voice, Liu Jing thought for a moment, did Sima Yi not break out from the west camp, but from the north, he immediately asked: "Could it be that Xingba captured Sima Yi?"

"Exactly!"

Gan Ning dismounted from his horse and walked forward quickly, followed by several soldiers, one of them was Sima Yi.

Liu Jing was overjoyed, patted Gan Ning on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Sure enough, Xingba did not disappoint me!"

Gan Ning pointed to Shi Chang and several soldiers behind him and said with a smile: "These brothers captured Sima Yi."

Liu Jing chuckled, and said to the commander and soldier who caught Sima Yi: "I will keep my promise and give you a big reward, but the reward should be distributed to you by General Gan, go down first!"

Shi Chang couldn't help grinning, thinking, if Gan Ning passed through the hands, he would definitely distribute more than half of the rewards to other soldiers, and the remaining small part to himself.

But it would be nice to have a reward, and maybe he could be promoted to a higher level, so he knelt down with a few soldiers to thank him for the reward, and retreated.

At this time, Liu Jing walked up to Sima Yi, untied him personally, looked at him and smiled, "I don't care about capturing [-] prisoners of war, but capturing Zhong Da will make my wish come true!"

Sima Yi moved his numb wrist silently, and said with a sneer, "Sima Yi is a mediocre person, how dare Liu Zhoumu value him so much?"

Liu Jing asked again: "The matter has come to this, is Zhong Da willing to work for Jiang Xia?"

Sima Yi turned and turned to the north without saying a word. The soldiers around were furious and were about to scold them, but Liu Jing stopped the soldiers with a wave of his hand, and said with a smile, "I'm asking that abruptly. Zhong Da should think about it again!"

Of course Liu Jing wouldn't let him go, didn't Jia Xu also refuse to surrender back then?Moreover, Sima Yi didn't serve Cao Cao for a long time, and he was far from being as loyal to Cao Cao as Cheng Yu and Xun Yu. At this time, he refused to surrender, more out of a kind of dignity.

As long as you give him time to think about it slowly, I believe he will change his mind. Liu Jing turned around and ordered, "Take Mr. Sima down to rest, don't neglect!"

Sima Yi didn't say a word, turned around and hurried away with his soldiers. Liu Jing looked back at the more than 2 prisoners of war. The capital was enough, and he could go to talk to Sun Quan. He immediately ordered: "Escort the prisoners on board, clean up Battlefield, remove all food supplies!"

． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．

Although Yu Jin and Zang Ba led hundreds of people to break through the siege and escape, most of the Cao soldiers were not as lucky as them. In the hazy morning light, groups of captured Cao soldiers were dejected and driven onto the boat by Jiang Xia's army. After a night of fighting, more than [-] people became prisoners of war of Jiang Xia's army.

Mountains of food and supplies were loaded onto the big ship. Liu Jing stood on the bow of the main ship, watching the large group of Cao Jun prisoners pass by indifferently. Laughing and falling asleep."

"Zhongye is right. These prisoners of war are the most suitable for mining copper mines."

Speaking of this, Liu Jing looked back at Jia Xu, saw him standing on the other side of the ship, staring blankly at the prisoners of war passing below, looking very preoccupied, Liu Jing understood his mood, so he walked forward slowly and said with a smile: "Do you feel guilty, sir?"

Jia Xu shook her head, "If I felt guilty, I wouldn't have come, but looking at these captured soldiers, I felt an indescribable sense of loss."

Liu Jing smiled lightly: "It is actually a kind of luck to be captured on the battlefield."

"It's like this, maybe it's because I'm getting old, I can't bear to think of their family members leaning on the door." Jia Xu said with a wry smile.

Liu Jing pondered for a moment and said: "Before this, the prisoners of war we captured were generally used for exchange, and the exchange will be less and less in the future. According to the usual practice, prisoners of war are generally slaves, but it is really too much for prisoners of war to be slaves for life. Cruel, let’s establish a system! After three years of hard labor, you can be free.”

Jia Xu sighed, "Young Master's heart is always admirable!"

Speaking of this, Jia Xu's mood also improved, and he asked with a smile: "I heard that Zhao Yan has surrendered to Zhou Mu, and Sima Yi has also been arrested. How will Zhou Mu plan to deal with him?"

"They are all talented people. Although Zhao Yan was defeated, his talent is not in leading troops to fight, but in field training. So I appointed him as Zhizhong, in charge of field and training. As for Sima Yi... ..”

Speaking of this, Liu Jing laughed, "I spent 5000 taels of gold for him, he should be reused naturally, if he is willing to surrender to me, I will use him as a counselor."

Jia Xu smiled slightly, "It's not so easy to make him surrender! I have a good relationship with his father, should I persuade him for Zhou Mu?"

Liu Jing was overjoyed, and bowed to Jia Xu, "I'll leave everything to you sir."

Jia Xu stroked his beard and smiled, "Give me time, and I will slowly persuade him."

At this time, a soldier rushed to Liu Jing and reported to Liu Jing: "I am reporting to the state pastor, there are more than a dozen local old people asking to see the state pastor!"

Liu Jing nodded, and said to Jia Xu: "I will leave the matter of Sima Yi to my husband. I will deal with the affairs first."

"Please don't worry, Zhou Mu, I will do my best."

Then Liu Jing hurried down the boat with his soldiers, Jia Xu watched Liu Jing walk away, and couldn't help but fell into deep thought, he didn't know how to persuade Sima Yi, he didn't know where to start?

……

On the river bank, more than a dozen elderly people came to Liu Jing under the leadership of Su Fei, the prefect of Anlu County. Highly respected."

"What's the matter with them?" Liu Jing asked quietly.

"They want our military to stay."

Su Fei turned around and introduced to everyone: "This is Mr. Liu Shijun, the shepherd of Jingzhou."

All the old people knelt down together, "Xiaomin pays homage to Mr. Zhou Mu!"

Liu Jing hurriedly asked his own soldiers to help them up, and said to everyone with a smile: "Fathers and elders, if you have any requests, just ask, as long as Liu Jing can do it, he will definitely help everyone."

An old man wept and said: "Please don't abandon us, if Cao Jun arrives, he will kill us to vent his anger."

Liu Jing was in a dilemma for a while. He didn't want to take back Anlu County. It wasn't because he was worried that Cao Cao would lead an army to retaliate, but it was meaningless if there were few troops stationed in Anlu County. Sending a large army to annihilate them will cause unnecessary losses, and leaving Anlu County can instead disperse Cao's troops.

At this time, he saw Wenpin winking at him, walked to Wenpin and asked in a low voice, "What do you want to say?"

"Reporting to Zhou Mu, my subordinates have a plan that may solve this problem."

"Say, what plan?"

"I think we can garrison troops in Yunyang County as a wedge in Jiangbei, which will definitely play a role in defeating Cao Jun in the future."

This plan made Liu Jing quite excited. Yunyang County is located in Yunmeng Lake, surrounded by wetlands and water, and the river flows through it. If you want to attack Yunyang County, you must go by water. If it is Jiangdong Army, there may be no problem, but if it is Cao Jun, who is not good at water warfare, won't be so easy to capture Yunyang County.

Wenpin continued: "The residents of Yunyang County can be moved out, and some fortifications can be built. As long as [-] troops are stationed, it can completely resist the attack of [-] people."

Seeing the look of expectation in Wenpin's eyes, Liu Jing smiled slightly and said, "I'll leave Yunyang County to you."

Wenpin was overjoyed, and immediately bowed and said, "This subordinate would like to be stationed in Yunyang County!"

Liu Jing walked back and said to Su Fei and a dozen or so elders: "Let's do this! The residents of Anlu County will temporarily move to Xiakou, and this matter will be handed over to Governor Su. A fleet will come to assist the day after tomorrow at the latest. For relocation, if you need help from the army, you can discuss it with General Wen.”
