Chen and Guo were defeated and fled, leaving more than 40,000 rebels as prisoners.

In order to facilitate management and prevent further rebellion, Cao "Xing" organized all the captives into cantonment soldiers, and then led a new cantonment army with 200,000 troops to cross the river and surround Xiangyang.

Xiangyang was much larger than Fancheng, and the rebel army was also garrisoned by 50,000 people, led by Shanyue generals.

At the Han River in the east gate of Xiangyang, Cao "Xing" and Han Ji and Jiang Qin, the two naval governors, walked together by the river.

The governor is a position within the Cao army, and it should be the commander and the military commander in the imperial court, but it is still the same.

"Han Ji and Gong Yi, there are only two of you in our Cao army, plus Xiahou Lan, the governor of Canghai, Wu Peng, the governor of the North Sea Fleet, the four governors, and the two deputy governors of Canghai Wang Xiao and Xu Rong, but they didn't participate in the war much, are you a little itchy?"

"The master is free to arrange, Chin only needs to obey the master's orders!" Jiang Qin stood with his hands bowed, acting like a loyal servant.

Cao "sex" "revealed" a wry smile at him.

He kept his promise, he was unwilling to change his words after several persuasions, this insistence, sometimes he was really unbelievable, but he did it, and Chen Ying also did it, the ancients kept their promises, which can be seen.

This is something that I dare not think about in my previous life, don't say a promise in my previous life, even if it is to save your life, I may not necessarily swear to follow and repay you.

You don't see how many firefighters went in and out of the fire, how many troops in earthquakes and natural disasters saved, and how many victims and refugees were saved.

But what about the end result? Maybe it's just a word of thanks, and then you don't get along with each other.

After Jiang Qin, who recognized himself as a servant, made a statement, Han Ji, whose identity was no more special than him, "touched" his beard and made a shrill voice:

"Lord, to get the current responsibility, the last general used to not even dream well, in the palace, in the Yellow Turban Army, the last general is used to seeing deceit, conspiracy and tricks, in this life to meet the lord, is the last general's lifelong blessing, wholeheartedly, conscientious, can not be reciprocated!"

Cao "sex" nodded, the four governors are all from weak backgrounds, they are all commoners like themselves, and their sense of belonging and identity to themselves is incomparable to that of the generals from the family and the powerful family.

"Blockade Zhao Ci, I will drive him south, and then the two of you will find a way to let him successfully cross the river, and it is best to give the credit for this successful crossing of the river to Chen Ying or Guo Shi in his army."

Chen Guo and the others, except for Sima Tai on his head, and himself, the rest did not know, Fan Chengxia went to pretend to snipe his Ma Zhong together, and he only knew the order, I don't know why, and Ma Zhong also swore to keep it a secret.

These two people who have strict mouths and are the ones they trust the most, let's explain it to them, just discuss it.

Cao "sex" made up his mind and said: "I can't hide it, Chen Ying Guo Shi is our internal response, this point is in your ears, rotten in your heart!" ”

"Never live up to the princess, trust!"

At this time, Gong Du ran over happily, and in order to prevent hearing something that should not be heard, he began to shout from a long distance: "Lord! Xiangyang has taken it down! ”

The three of them looked at Gong Du, and their faces also had a smile on their faces.

"The lord, Chen Guo and the others did not enter Xiangyang, but chose to garrison outside the city, and Ah Zhen and Huang Gongfu, who were responsible for the siege of the city, besieged them on three sides first.

Xiangyang City is big, you can put 50,000 people, the rebels are difficult to parry for a while, and then use the newly reorganized Fancheng troops to recruit surrender, and finally the Han generals in the rebel army anyway, open the door to welcome our army into the city, Wang Shuang seized the opportunity, led people to kill into Xiangyang, and took Xiangyang City in one fell swoop! ”

Gong Du said that he was foaming, excited, and yearning.

"Cao Zhen, who is a genius but lacks experience, is paired with an experienced handsome man, and the master's arrangement is really a match made in heaven!" Jiang Qin opened his mouth and praised.

"Let's go, let's go to Xiangyang City to have a look, Gong Du, you go and inform Jiang Wan, Li Feng, Huang Gai, Cao Zhen, come to Dongchengtou to see me!"

Cao "Sex", who was in a surging mood, opened his mouth and commanded, Gong Du was about to leave after receiving the order, and Cao "Sex" opened his mouth again: "Call Cao Ying again!" ”

"No!"

Xiangyang and Fancheng are the centers of Jingbei, which are also the gateways to the south of the Yangtze River, and their geographical location is very important.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that guarding the river must guard Huai, and collecting Huai must guard Xiangyang.

The Southern Dynasties in Chinese history, such as the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty, all held Xiangyang and survived, until Xiangyang fell into the hands of the Mongols, and the Southern Song Dynasty went to extinction.

Since I have the heart to develop in the south, such a good opportunity is in front of me, and I must seize it.

The group came to the head of the east city and climbed to the top floor of the city tower, Jiang, Li, Er Cao, and Huang arrived here successively, and the tiger and leopard were on guard from all sides, except for Cao "sex" and other eight people, and no one was allowed to approach the city tower.

Cao "sex" looked at the great rivers and mountains in Xiangyang City, and pointed to Fancheng, which was only separated by a Han River on the opposite side, and could be faintly seen:

"Everyone, you are all my henchmen, the second city of Xiangfan is the throat of Jingzhou, and the throat of the entire south!"

Huang Gai, who was called a confidant by Cao "sex", and Cao Ying and Li Feng, who had never thought that they had reached this position, were all moved by "Lu", and nodded in agreement with Cao's "sex" point of view.

Cao "Xing" waved his left palm upward, as if grasping some treasure in the world and spiritual lifeline, and held it tightly:

"Since the throat has fallen into the hands of us and others, no matter how much it costs, we must firmly grasp it!"

This sentence tastes superficial and doesn't feel anything, but if you chew it carefully, you will find that it is full of great rebellion.

Cao "sex" secretly observed the expressions of the seven people, Cao Zhen didn't have to think about it, he was definitely his own hardcore, and then looked at Jiang Qin, Han Ji, and Cao Ying, who had special identities, and their eyes were also yearning, supportive, and deserving expressions.

These are all expected, and the focus is on Jiang Wan, Huang Gai, and Li Feng.

Jiang Wan, as the most capable scholar of the future Shu Kingdom, has a first-class talent of civil servants, and is one of the few masterminds under his command.

Huang Gai, who is in the prime of life, has first-class martial arts and first-class commanders, who can not only guide the generals in the army, but also be fully qualified as the commander of any party.

Li Feng is only a second-rate Wenchen talent, but he is from the Li family, the Li family has a great business, and he is a well-known hero in Shanyang County.

More importantly, there are four people in the Li family who hold important positions, one is his brother Li Gan, who stayed in Zhenyang, the other is the nephew Li Dian, the acting county lieutenant of Exian County, and the last nephew, Li Quan, who is also a major general under Cao Zhen.

In order to reassure the Li family, he first gave Li Feng the opportunity to ascend, the temporary head of the civil ministers, and now in the name of his confidants, he conspires with great things.

Therefore, the statement of the three is very important.

This kind of rebellious words, with their own weak foundation and the backstage of all Han diehards, once they are spread, they will instantly fall into a life-and-death decision.

But big dangers are often accompanied by big gains.

Sometimes, for the sake of better development and ideals, we have to take a gamble.
