Soldiers come to the world

The sky is getting brighter, and the Chibi War is coming to an end. The Jiangdong Army and Jiangxia Army are busy clearing the battlefield. 10,000+ Cao Jun was captured. Tents, supplies, food and weapons and other materials were piled up like a mountain. Yangtze.

Accompanied by Zhou Yu, Liu Jing inspected Cao Jun's camp. Cao Jun's camp was well preserved. It was not burned down like a water village. The tents had been dismantled and stacked neatly. Like a dozen gray and white mounds.

There are still hundreds of huge tents in the southeast corner that have not been dismantled. There is Cao Jun’s grain and grass depot, which is full of grain and hay. The grain alone has more than 10,000 shi. Livestock such as cattle and horses.

Copper coins are even more difficult to count, and the gold alone is as much as several thousand catties. Zhou Yu's face turned pale, and he finally realized why Liu Jing must fight for the right to dispose of the spoils. Giving up these mountains of strategic materials because of Huang Gai seems a bit outweighed.

But he was helpless, after all, he had already established evidence with Liu Jing, and now his only hope was that Liu Jing would not go too far and give him some, otherwise he really didn't know how to explain to Marquis Wu when he went back.

Liu Jing quickly glanced at Zhou Yu. He could feel Zhou Yu's depression since he entered the camp. Of course, he could understand Zhou Yu's mood.

He Liu Jing is not a prophet about some things, but he can judge with some common sense. It takes a lot of supplies to maintain an army of more than [-] in Jingzhou for several months, which consumes nearly half of Cao Cao's national power.

After the Chibi War in history, Cao Cao changed from strategic offense to strategic defense. To a large extent, the national power could not support such a large-scale southern expedition.

In fact, this is only a part of the supplies, and some are in Jiangling and Fancheng.

At this moment, Zhou Yu took out a sword and said to Liu Jing, "This is one of Cao Cao's sabers. It's called 'Qingzhi'. It was obtained by Tai Shi kindly killing the sword general Xia Houen. I will give this sword to Zhou Mu."

When Liu Jing heard that it was the Qingzhi Sword, he was immediately very interested. He took the sword and slowly drew it out.

"How dare you accept such a precious sword from Gongjin? Why didn't Gongjin dedicate it to Marquis Wu?"

Even though he said that, Liu Jing had already put the sword in his hand, and it was impossible for him to give it back to Zhou Yu, but Zhou Yu smiled lightly, "If Zhou Mu feels embarrassed, you might as well give me a sword too."

Seeing the look of infinite expectation in Zhou Yu's eyes, Liu Jing thought to himself, 'What kind of knife makes him look forward to it so much? '

After thinking about it, Liu Jing suddenly understood, "Gong Jin wants an ancient ingot knife?"

The ancient ingot knife is Sun Jian's saber. When Sun Jian was killed in the expedition to Jiangxia, this knife fell into the hands of Liu Biao, and Liu Biao rewarded it to Huang Zhong, who loves to collect weapons.

Although in the eyes of Jingzhou people, the ancient ingot knife is just a rare sharp blade, but in the eyes of Jiangdong people, it is a sacred object.

Although the Qingzhi Sword is a famous sword in the world, but for Jiangdong, it can never be compared with the ancient ingot knife. Zhou Yu can also give Wu Hou an explanation if he can get the ancient ingot knife. disturbed.

Zhou Yu nodded, "I hope Zhou Mu can understand the significance of Gu Ding Dao to Jiang Dong and Marquis Wu."

Liu Jing suddenly remembered the disappointment in Sun Quan's eyes when he met Sun Quan last time and presented the Qingyue Sword to Sun Quan. Only now did he understand what Sun Quan wanted?

After pondering for a while, Liu Jing smiled and said, "I understand Gong Jin's feelings. No treasure can compare to the friendship between our two coalition forces against Cao Cao. I will try to persuade Huang Zhong that within a month, an envoy will send Gu Send the ingot knife to Jiangdong."

Zhou Yu was overjoyed, and bowed to salute: "Thank you for the success of Zhou Mu!"

After reaching this agreement, Zhou Yu's worry about gains and losses was also swept away. He pointed to the tent in the southeast corner and smiled, "That's the grain depot!"

"Let's take a look." Liu Jing walked towards the grain depot with great interest.

Walking into the huge grain tent, this big tent covers an area of ​​two mu of land. The ground is covered with dry straw mats, and the bags of grain are neatly stacked up to the tent dome. Liu Jing patted the thick grain again. Bags, he immediately judged that a bag of grain is at least one stone, so how many bags of grain are there in this big tent?

At this time, Cao Juncang, who surrendered, stepped forward and carefully introduced: "Qizhou Mu, there are three thousand shi grains in this big tent, that is, three thousand bales, one hundred bales per layer, a total of [-] layers, and the grain is all from last year." The Yingchuan army’s wheat can be stored for three years in a dry place, and the humble job has a tent, so you can introduce it in detail.”

"Not bad!"

Liu Jing smiled approvingly: "You are a qualified Cangcao, keep doing it."

Cang Cao was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed to salute, "Thank you, Zhou Mu."

Liu Jing turned his gaze to Zhou Yu again, and Zhou Yu sighed dejectedly, "Since I have signed a contract with the State Shepherd, I will naturally not break my promise. I will not take any prisoners of war or spoils of war, and the State Shepherd will dispose of them."

Liu Jing shook his head secretly in his heart, so Zhou Yu can only be a younger brother, but not a master. The fundamental reason is that he is not thick enough, and he is too bookish. A little bit to fulfill the promise, who knows how many spoils there will be?

When it comes to the interests of war, there is no benevolence or righteousness at all. Even though he thought so, Liu Jing still smiled and said: "Don't worry, Gongjin, when I finish sorting out all the supplies, I will definitely distribute them fairly, at least half of them to the Jiangdong Army. This is a victory for both of us, how can I enjoy it alone."

Zhou Yu smiled bitterly in his heart. Although he kept his word, he was not stupid. How could Liu Jing share the right to dispose of the loot in exchange for Ma Yan's head fairly with himself? Understood, but there was nothing he could do about it.

"Is Zhou Mu planning to go west immediately to capture Jiangling and Xiangyang?" Zhou Yu asked again with concern.

Liu Jing smiled and shook his head, "The soldiers are too tired and need to rest for a while. I also want to visit my son. He has been born for a few months and only met a few times. My father is not qualified! "

Zhou Yu didn't say anything more, he knew that Liu Jing was actually worried about Jiangdong Army, but Jiangdong Army's stay in Jiangxia really didn't make much sense, Zhou Yu pondered for a moment and said: "I have an agreement with Marquis Wu, after the end of the Chibi War, we will Immediately return to the army to assist Marquis Wu in attacking Hefei, the military situation is urgent, I plan to return to Qichun directly at noon, and after a short rest, I will return to Wuhu, Jiangling and Xiangyang, and I will no longer assist the state herdsman."

Liu Jing was overjoyed, and Zhou Yu seemed to be very knowledgeable. This is the best way. He patted Zhou Yu's shoulder and smiled, "Don't worry, Gong Jin! You can go back on the captured Cao Jun warship. As for the captured supplies, I will Let the Tao family caravan be transported to Jiangdong, and will never let Jiangdong suffer."

Zhou Yu nodded, with a rare smile on his face, "It is worthwhile for Zhou Yu to fight against Cao Bandit side by side with Zhou Mu. I hope we can meet again as soon as possible."

"Yes, we will definitely meet again soon."

． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．

As soon as he came out of the barracks, a soldier came to report: "Report to Zhou Mu, General Huang has sent someone to report something urgent."

"Bring me to you!"

After a while, a sergeant hurried forward and knelt down on one knee to report: "Report to the State Shepherd that General Huang captured Xia Houyuan while he was investigating the prisoners crossing the river."

This news made Liu Jing overjoyed. He got the news that the chief general who led the [-] Cao army crossing the river turned out to be Xia Houyuan. Liu Jing expected Huang Zhong to catch him, and now he finally got the news.

Liu Jing quickly asked, "How did you find out?"

"Xia Houyuan disguised himself as a soldier and mixed in the team, but was recognized by General Huang."

Liu Jing nodded happily, "Immediately go back and tell General Huang that Xia Houyuan must be under strict supervision. Also, please come over in the afternoon and say that there are important military discussions."

． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．

At noon, Zhou Yu led the [-] Jiangdong Army to leave Chibi on hundreds of captured Cao Jun ships, and headed eastward. Entered Cao Jun's camp.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the camp, he met Wei Yan head-on. During the Battle of Chibi, Wei Yan led the second batch of [-] troops to land. Wan has been busy until now, and he also wanted to find Liu Jing, but he happened to meet him at the gate of Daying.

"See Zhou Mu!" Wei Yan saluted on the horse.

Liu Jing nodded, and urged the horse to walk side by side with him, "There are a lot of supplies after the war, and we still need to work hard for a few more days."

Wei Yan came to Liu Jing for this matter, his lips moved, his face full of helplessness, Liu Jing saw it, and asked with a smile: "Do you have anything to say?"

Wei Yan sighed, "It's nothing, I obey the order!"

"Just tell me what you have to say. I haven't understood you for so many years with me. You were a thorn in the back!"

Wei Yan smiled wryly and said: "Actually, I want to ask orders to attack Jiangling."

"Are you so eager to attack Jiangling?" Liu Jing asked.

"Yes! Brothers are all anxious, and hope to go west immediately and conquer Jiangling."

"But it's winter now, the wind is not in the right direction, and the fleet can't go west."

Wei Yan hurriedly said: "You don't need to go by water, you can go straight to Jiangling by taking the Huarong Road, and you can also chase and kill Cao Cao. Brothers are waiting impatiently, please order the state pastor as soon as possible."

Liu Jing glanced at Gan Ning next to him again, and asked again: "Is Xingba also so anxious?"

Gan Ning hastily bowed and said, "I also hope that I can go west as soon as possible. Not only I, but General Huang and General Wen also mean the same thing. Restoring Jingzhou as soon as possible and eradicating Cao Cao's influence in Jingzhou. The Jiangdong Army has already withdrawn to the east, so we have nothing to do." Worry about the future."

"State shepherd, give the order!"

Wei Yan urged again eagerly: "If Zhou Mu doesn't agree, I'm afraid I won't be able to explain to my brothers!"

Liu Jing glanced at Wei Yan, feeling a little displeased, and said lightly, "Since everyone is so impatient, I will arrange this matter as soon as possible, how about this! Let's discuss together when General Huang comes over in the afternoon."

Speaking of this, Liu Jing said to Wei Yan: "I will find someone else to deal with the aftermath, so you don't have to worry about it."

Wei Yan was overjoyed, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Zhou Mu, for understanding the humble position."

At this time, a soldier rushed up behind him and reported loudly: "Qi Zhou Mu, Xu Changshi is here, and the boat has arrived at the shore."

Liu Jing laughed, Xu Shu came too timely, just to take care of the aftermath for himself.

He immediately turned his horse's head and ran towards the shore again. Just halfway there, he saw Xu Shu leading a large group of civil servants on horseback, and Jia Xu was among them.

When all the officials saw Liu Jing, they came forward to salute one after another. Liu Jing returned the salute one by one, and said with a smile to Xu Shu, "I was wondering just now whether Chief Steward Xu would come in time to confiscate the loot, but I didn't expect it to be so timely."

Everyone laughed, and Xu Shu also laughed and said: "You have made Jiangxia poor by fighting this battle. Of course, you have to get back your principal and interest, so we will take over the spoils for the time being."

"Then go to General Wei to hand it over! Now let him take care of it for the time being. I just promised him to find someone to take over, and you will come in time."

Xu Shu was not polite, bowed to Liu Jing and urged the horse to go, but Jia Xu stayed behind, and when everyone walked away, Jia Xu smiled and said: "I think the state shepherd must feel embarrassed now, so I also crossed the river .”

Liu Jing was taken aback for a moment, but Jia Xu was really old-fashioned, and he saw through his thoughts, he nodded, "Let's go back to the account and talk about it first."

Liu Jing's temporary tent is located in the southwest corner of Caoying. It is a relatively open highland with hundreds of spruces growing tall and straight. His tent is built in the spruce forest.

After entering the tent, Liu Jing ordered his soldiers to serve hot tea. After taking a sip of the hot tea, Liu Jing first asked, "How is Sima Yi now?"

"He's studying in Jiangxia Academy now, but please don't worry, Zhou Mu. This person is by no means pedantic, and he is very good at observing the situation. He might have been a little hesitant before, but now that Zhou Mu has defeated Cao Jun in Chibi, he knows what he should choose. I don't need to persuade him, as long as Zhou Mu gives him a step, it will naturally happen."

Liu Jing nodded, "It's mainly because of some troublesome things, I'll go and see him after I've dealt with it."

Jia Xu seemed to understand Liu Jing's troubles, he took a sip of tea, and then smiled calmly: "I think Zhou Mu must be embarrassing about the attack on Jiangling."

Liu Jing sighed, "The soldiers are all eager to attack Jiangling, which is really difficult."

"Then I don't understand why Zhou Mu is not in a hurry to attack Jiangling?" Jia Xu asked with a half-smile, but he knew it very well in his heart, but he asked on purpose.

"If I'm not wrong, Liu Bei is also eyeing the south bank of Jiangling. I'm afraid that I will kill Cao too quickly. If he simply returns Jiangling to Liu Bei and uses Liu Bei to contain me, we will lose more than we gain. So I think a little Wait a little longer, give Cao Cao a chance to breathe, let him think that he can hold Jiangling and Xiangyang, and then wait for him to return to the north before attacking."

Jia Xu smiled slightly, "The state shepherd is worried that it will be difficult to take Jiangling from Liu Bei, right?"

"That's right. To capture Jiangling from Cao Jun's hands is justified, but Liu Bei has Liu Qi in his hands. Once he takes Jiangling back, if I go to attack the city, he will enshrine Liu Qi on the city wall. How can I fight? After all, Liu Qi He is the legitimate Lord of Jiangling, and he did not surrender to Cao Cao, so he is morally deficient!"

"Since this is the case, it is enough for Zhou Mu to explain this clearly to the generals. Why bother?"

Liu Jing shook his head, "They won't understand, let alone ordinary soldiers. This will affect morale instead, and there are some things I don't want the generals to know too much."

"Actually, this matter is very easy to solve."

Jia Xu smiled darkly, and said in a low voice: "The state shepherd can just find someone to strongly oppose the attack on Jiangling. In this way, the generals will not be able to blame the state shepherd."

Liu Jing understood Jia Xu's meaning, let other people do things that offend others, but think about it, a leader must have the consciousness of a leader, and you can't let the leader say everything by himself.

"Then who do you think is suitable for Mr.?"

At this time, Jia Xu looked out of the tent and saw Xu Shu hurriedly walking towards the big tent, Jia Xu smiled meaningfully.
