Jingzhou, Xiangyang City.

Cao Cao sat in the lobby, frowning and looking at the wooden tablet in his hand.

Jia Xu has been standing silently aside.

Ever since he was summoned by Cao Cao, he has been standing here.

After a long time, Cao Cao put the wooden tablet in his hand. Slammed on the table. "These people are really hateful!"

couldn't help but scold, Cao Cao touched his beard. looked at Jia Xu who was standing under the hall and spoke.

"Wenhe, do you know why I'm looking for you?"

"The prime minister is leaving for home!" Jia Xu bowed his hand and said slowly.

Cao Cao smacked his lips and stood up. With his hands behind his back, he walked towards Jia Xu.

"And then?"

"Then, I don't know!"

"You must know!" Cao Cao glanced at Jia Xu.

"Then dare to guess!" Jia Xu hesitated for a moment and opened his mouth. "The prime minister is leaving, so it has become a question of who should hand over this Jingzhou to.

With all due respect, although we took Jingzhou. Can... It's not easy to keep!

So, who will take over becomes the question! ”

After speaking, Jia Xu looked at Cao Cao silently.

"What do you think, how is Xu Tian?"

Cao Cao was silent for a moment and suddenly asked.

"This—" Jia Xu was a little embarrassed. This big battle, thanks to this Xu Tian.

This man is bold! There are many ideas, and they have won the hearts of the people in the vicinity. A good candidate indeed!

However, if the prime minister does not plan to use him. If you dare to speak out, please ask the prime minister to kill him! ”

……

Let's talk about Xu Tian, since the battle of Chibi. He turned things around and defeated Sun Liu. returned to Xiangyang City and was his ostensible Jingzhou pastor.

But he didn't feel the slightest bit relaxed or happy.

At this moment, he was walking around the room with his hands behind his back.

Pang Tongyi sat straight to the side, silent.

"You say, what is the prime minister doing at the moment?" After a long time, Xu Tian slowly spoke.

"The prime minister is thinking about whether to kill the lord or reuse the lord!" Pang Tong said gloomily.

"And what do you think the outcome will be?"

Pang Tong was silent for a long time and stood up silently. As he walked, he spoke.

"Jingzhou! Enemies on three sides, easy to get and easy to lose!

The prime minister will not fail to understand this.

The lord is resourceful and bold. He is deeply loved by the people nearby, and is undoubtedly the best candidate.

So what is he hesitating about?

What the prime minister is worried about is if Jingzhou is in the hands of the lord. Once the lord becomes bigger, will he be ordered by him?

Therefore, the prime minister will either kill the lord directly without hesitation. In this way, he was relieved. Jingzhou may not be able to keep it!

Or, he will reuse the lord. And I will do my best to win over and treat it wholeheartedly with kindness. In exchange for the lord's allegiance!

And the lord has just made a new contribution, as undecided as today. In the next opinion, the probability of the prime minister reusing the lord will be greater!

As for how to do it, it depends on the meaning of the lord.

It's a gamble! ”

Xu Tian was silent, and he understood what Pang Tong said. He's right, it's a gamble!

The bet is Cao Cao's mind!

………

Above the lobby, Cao Cao was silent for a long time.

After a long time, he sighed. Turned to look at Jia Xu and spoke.

"Xu Tian is the best candidate! He has just made a great contribution, and it is reasonable and reasonable to hand over Jingzhou to him! ”

"If the prime minister wants to use this person, he must be fully responsible. Not reserved! ”

Jia Xu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, if Cao Cao didn't plan to let Xu Tian guard. That means he's given up here!

"Got it!"

Cao Cao turned and left...

……

"Qiyu Prefecture Mu, the prime minister is invited!"

The guard bowed and spoke.

Xu Tian and Pang Tong in the room glanced at each other, and Pang Tong nodded slightly.

So, Xu Tian followed the visitor all the way to the outside of Cao Cao's room.

After a pause, Xu Tian stepped in.

"In Xia Xu Tian, meet the prime minister!"

"Come!"

Cao Cao, who was sitting at the table, beckoned to Xu Tian.

Xu Tian slowly came to the opposite side of Cao Cao and sat on his knees.

On the table in front of him, there was only one copper plate. There is something that Xu Tian is very familiar with, salted fish!

Cao Cao personally picked up the wine jug on the side and poured a full cup for Xu Tian.

"I'm leaving, all the military and political powers in Jingzhou. I'll leave it all to you, remember to make more salted fish. If I want to eat it, someone will take it! Hey..."

Cao Cao smiled and pushed the wine bottle full of wine in front of Xu Tian.

"Thank you, Prime Minister!" Xu Tian hurriedly got up and bowed respectfully to Cao Cao.

"I'll leave it all to you here, when I get back. Will send another army to support you with all your needs here. I'll be satisfied! ”

Cao Cao said, staring at Xu Tian intently.

"Prime Minister rest assured, I Xu Tian is here. Jingzhou is here! ”

"Good!" Cao Cao nodded and tore a piece of steamed salted fish with his hand. Put it in your mouth. "It's so fragrant, Xu Tian. Do you think this salted fish will be sour? ”

Xu Tian's heart jumped, but he still clenched his fists as usual and said. "Salted fish can be preserved for a long time because of the amount of precious salt that is paid. Paid so much, so the salted fish will only be salty and not sour! ”

Cao Cao laughed...

………

Three days later, Cao Cao's class returned to the court. Cao Ren and Xu Huang and other generals were left behind to assist Xu Tian in defending Jingzhou.

He still listened to Jia Xu's advice and didn't do what he thought. Let Cao Ren and Xu Huang firmly control the military power.

Jia Xu was right, even if he did. With Xu Tian's ability, these two are not opponents.

Sooner or later, the military power will still be in Xu Tian's hands, so. Since it's the same sooner or later, it's better to be generous and give carte blanche!

In this way, Xu Tian completely sat on the real Jingzhou Mu.

He sat in the position of the state pastor and looked at the civil and military people in the hall.

He couldn't help but smile happily...

……

It's just that Xu Tian doesn't know yet, because of the Battle of Chibi. His name has spread wildly all over the world, and his fame has exploded.

broke the army of Sun Liu, which was led by Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu, and killed Liu Bei in panic. These achievements are enough to shake the world.

At this time, another defeated general was planning the next plan of action.

……

After the war, although Cao Cao's Jingzhou naval army suffered casualties on Dai Lin. Most of the warships were also burned and could no longer cross the river.

But he made the whole territory of Jingzhou, for Jiangdong. This was a huge threat, because once Cao Cao settled the rear. If troops are sent from the north and Jingzhou at the same time.

Koto will be in jeopardy.

Therefore, after the defeat, Zhou Yu was restless.

He knew exactly what Jingzhou meant to them.

Therefore, he was as Zhuge Liang expected. and Lu Su worked together to persuade Sun Quan to unite with Liu Bei.

He also sent a large number of military supplies to Liu Jun, and sent troops to assist Liu Bei on the river. Just in case Cao Jun comes to attack!

And Zhou Yu is planning his next plan.

He vowed to take Jingzhou back, and this first step was.

"Gangneung!!"
