Xiangyang City.

Although the war ended, the gates of the Quartet were still closed, and the shepherd's battle flag flying in the wind on the head of the city told everyone that this city had changed hands.

In the city, although it is still a brilliant situation.

At first, the herdsmen entered the city, but the troops were insufficient.

It can only rely on the gate valve of the scholar clan to sustain it.

Under pressure, they could only shoot some government soldiers to maintain order, but they had intended to connive, and naturally they did not contribute to the work, and did not improve the order in the city too much.

However, in this case, with the main force of the pastoral army completely entering the city, so that the soldiers in the city have free up their hands and feet, Chen Gong directly excluded 3,000 soldiers, 100 people as a team, divided into 30 queues, patrolling the city, which thugs they encountered, regardless of killing.

Kill and suppress the hearts of the rioters in Xiangyang City.

In this way, it can be regarded as temporarily stabilizing the order of Xiangyang.

But after all, they were outsiders, and they came in with knives and guns, and the city rejected them more than they imagined.

Several times the patrol officers in the night were inexplicably attacked.

In one case, three people were killed and twelve wounded.

It was the soldiers of the Violent Bear Army who died, Zhou Cang was furious, and personally pursued these thugs who attacked at night, but thousands of soldiers and horses were taken by several thugs to tour Xiangyang City at night, and then disappeared.

If no one answers, no one can say anything.

This is enough to show that this city is not welcome from the family lords, to the ordinary people, and to the herdsmen.

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

"Lord, as long as you order, I slaughtered that Baokang Fang, chased it all night, and when I caught up, I didn't see anyone, it must be one of the families of Baokang Fang who hid them, but I couldn't find it!" On the main hall of the State Governor's Mansion, Zhou Cang was shouting.

His soldiers died on the battlefield, and it was understandable, but in this city they were attacked again and again, three for the first time, one for the second time, two for the third time, and the fourth time for the fifth...... Seven or eight of them had already died, and he was furious.

"There are dozens of households in a square, hundreds of households at most, at least a few hundred people, and you plan to slaughter them all?"

Mu Jing knelt in front of the desk, looked calm, raised his head slightly, looked at the furious Zhou Cang, and asked indifferently: "Those defenseless old and weak women and children, do you want to slaughter them too?"

"I ......"

Zhou Cang was speechless.

He fought on the battlefield and was accustomed to life and death, but it didn't mean that he was completely cold-blooded and indifferent to life, the pastoral army had been established for so long, and there were no prisoners, let alone slaughtering people.

He was angry in his heart and said he could.

Calm down, he couldn't even ask himself.

"There are too many sons and daughters in this city who have died in our hands on the battlefield, and they hate us, and there is nothing they can do!"

Mu Jing waved his hand, "Order, go down, the queue of the night patrol, must not be separated, be careful and vigilant, no one is allowed to be alone, in addition, order everyone in Jingwu Division Jingzhou Town to cooperate in cleaning up the resistance strength in the city, as long as there is evidence, arrest people directly, don't be afraid!" ”

"No!"

A few people took orders.

Zhou Cang could only leave angrily.

"Lord, this city can't be peaceful for a while!" Chen Gong arched his hand and said: "There are many talents in Jingzhou, and Xiangyang is fifty percent, but these talents are not used by us, and if they are forced, they will inevitably be reversed, and if you want to govern Xiangyang, I am afraid that you need to send a large number of officials from Hanzhong to enter!" ”

Xiangyang is the capital of Jingzhou, and there are indeed many talents here, but Mu Jing's reputation among scholars is too bad, and the battle of Fancheng forced Pang Ji to death, which is enough to make Jingzhou scholars reject him.

Even if these people are willing to take refuge in him, he may not dare to use it, he can suppress one, but he can't suppress a group, if a group of scholars are all double-minded, using them is equivalent to killing himself.

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

"Not necessarily at the moment!"

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!" ”

"What does the lord mean that Xiangyang City can't be defended?"

Chen Gong frowned.

"It's not!" Mu Jing still shook his head: "I mean, what I want has never been Xiangyang City, Xiangyang is just a springboard, I won't spend energy here, and now is not the time for me to sit in Xiangyang, this city, how will it be in the future, I will say in the future, although I have been beaten down now, but I will dedicate it to Yizhou!" ”

"Yizhou Liu Yanbu said that it will be ours to fight down!"

"That's why it's sent, not delivered!"

Mujing Road.

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

"Our blood and sweat have been poured out, and it is valuable!"

Mu Jing said calmly.

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

He needed Liu Yan's trust.

"I don't understand!" Chen Gong frowned, he was only responsible for the strategy of the Jingzhou Campaign, the big game of chess in Mu Jing's heart, in the Minghou Mansion, there were very few people who knew it.

"You'll move later!"

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

Chen Gong glanced at Mu Jing deeply, and did not continue to ask, with his wisdom, he had already touched a corner, the more so, the more he felt that Mu Jing was a little unfathomable, this young lord made him a little afraid.

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

Mu Jing asked.

"The spies just found out today, Liu Biao seems to have left the Green Forest Mountain Range, and under the main escort led by Wen Ping, he is heading in the direction of Jiangxia!" Chen Gong replied: "But around Xiangyang, the main forces of Huang Zu and Deng Long are still holding us back, Huang Zu's troops are not many, and they have occupied Yicheng, Deng Long's troops have retreated to Caiyang, but he still has a water army in his hands to control the Thorny Waterway!" ”

"So, Liu Biao wants to retreat to Jiangxia?"

Mu Jing narrowed his eyes.

"Eight or nine is not far from ten!" Chen Gong said: "If he loses Xiangyang, he does not have a foothold, it is impossible to fight with us again, he must find a foothold in order to regroup his troops!" ”

"What about Huang Zu?"

"Huang Zu was cheated by us once, Liu Biao didn't kill him, it was merciful, he still dared to object, he still wanted to hold Jiang Xia in his hands, that was self-defeating, he shouldn't be so stupid!"

"Then he is willing?"

"It's not necessarily willing, it's more helpless!"

"There's something to be done!"

"Difficult!"

"Give it a try!" 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, take refuge in us, it will allow us to gain a firm foothold in Jingzhou!" ”

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

"When a person is cornered, don't say that he hates it, even if it is the hatred of killing his father, he has to let it go!" Mu Jing sneered.

"Then I'll arrange it!"

"Make a bigger move, let the people of the entire Jingzhou know that we are recruiting him, and then vaguely link the previous battle with him, it is best to arouse Liu Biao's jealousy and disgust towards him!"

"Yes!" Chen Gong nodded.

Big and small things are now pressing on Chen Gong, and after he reported to Mu Jing for a while, he left to deal with some affairs in the city.
