Chapter 219: Cao Cao Comes
Jingzhou Xiangyang has been included in the territory of the New Han Dynasty, but the central part of Jingzhou is also quite extensive, and there is also Jiangling City, which is the real state capital of Jingzhou in the strict sense. In this Jiangling city, there are also many Jingzhou garrisons.
However, Liu Yi believed that his prestige in Jiangling City was higher than that in Xiangyang City. Because, in the past, Liu Yi was in Jiangling City, under the eyes of hundreds of thousands of people, and killed the Qincha who went to Jiangling to ask for money from the Jiangling government and the people, so that the people of Jiangling would have a deeper impression of Liu Yi. It also made Liu Yi establish a certain prestige in the eyes of the people of Jiangling. Therefore, Liu Yi believes that there should be no more war in Gangneung City, and it should be able to be recovered peacefully.
What's more, Liu Cong, the young lord of Jingzhou, has already ordered Jingzhou to return to the New Han Dynasty, and individual local governments do not have the courage to dare to argue with the New Han Army if they have one city and one pool.
Therefore, Liu Yi only needed to send people directly to take over the various towns in the central region of Jingzhou.
In addition, the reason why Liu Yi wanted to send a group of generals to pursue those Jingzhou civil and military forces who fled from Xiangyang City and those famous families was mainly to send those generals to rush to the central and western regions of Jingzhou by the way. Although Liu Yi didn't think that Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu dared to send troops, they should at least send some military horses to show off their might and make them retract. In addition, let these generals go to the western part of Jingzhou to inspect it. Let them have an impression of those steep terrains and prepare for the future dispatch of troops to Yizhou and Hanzhong.
Of course, let them be on the way to Yizhou. Set up a pass and garrison the town.
The Jingzhou army was also about to be reorganized, and it was necessary to guard against Cao Cao on the other side of the Xiangjiang River.
The Xiangjiang River and the Yushui River are too long in defense line, and if Cao Cao has the heart to send military horses into the central and northern areas of Jingzhou to destroy them, he can still do it. There is a mental calculation and an unintentional understatement. The long river defense will definitely be dense. The naval army of the New Han Army cannot be monitored by the whole line at all times. Therefore. Quickly reorganize the Jingzhou army, and then let them at least be able to play a vigilant role.
Speaking of which, there are actually a lot of things, if you really want Liu Yi to deal with so many things personally. Liu Yi is really afraid that he can't be busy. But. With Yi and Pang Degong, things will be easy.
Yi himself has a group of Jingzhou civil and military who are good friends with him, as well as those scholars in Xiangyang. In order for these vassals in Jingzhou to have a sense of belonging to the New Han Dynasty, Liu Yi could let them continue their original positions and functions for the time being, as long as they were indeed talented. And Pang Degong's appeal is really not covered. He ascended to the heights and shouted, originally a famous man in Jingxiang. Those who didn't want to go out were all invited out by Pang Degong.
It can be said that Liu Yi's biggest advantage in winning Jingzhou is that he has obtained a large number of literati strategists at once, and Liu Yi also summoned them to meet with them.
Of course, now that Liu Yixin has come to Jingzhou, it is unlikely that he will monitor the character of those Jingzhou literati, so he can only let them participate in the governance of Jingzhou first, and then make the normal operation and order of Jingzhou first.
Liu Yi was not worried about what would happen, because no matter who they were, after they took office, they had to govern the local area in accordance with the basic national law of the New Han Dynasty.
For example, as soon as the big killer of household registration comes out and the specific situation of Jingzhou's population is grasped, it will be easy to deal with the governance problems that follow.
When the time comes, wherever there is a problem, the officials will be held accountable, and no one will be able to escape.
It is precisely because Liu Yi has come up with a relatively complete series of policies to govern the local government in Luoyang, so that Liu Yi can quickly sort out political affairs every time he captures a place, so that Liu Yi has more time to live his romantic life.
However, just when Liu Yi was planning to let the people below carry out the work if he could let go of everything, Cao Cao sent a messenger to ask for a meeting.
This time, Cao Cao sent Hua Xin. He is also an old acquaintance of Liu Yi.
In any case, when it comes to courtesy, Liu Yi will not be so stingy that he will not even see the envoy sent by Cao Cao because he has already turned his face with Cao Cao.
In a palace that originally belonged to Liu Biao, Liu Yi met with Hua Xin.
When Hua Xin saw Liu Yi, he greeted him with the courtesy of a minister, and bowed to Liu Yi: "Hanchen Hua Xin, meet Taifu." ”
"Excuse me, Mr. Hua Xin, you are also old acquaintances, no need to be polite, Cao Cao asked you to come to see me Liu Yi, if there is anything, it doesn't hurt to say it directly." Liu Yi didn't want to worry too much about Hua Xin now, so he said bluntly.
"Hehe, Taifu is really as fast talking as before. Well, then I'm not going to beat around the bush. This time, Prime Minister Cao Cheng sent Hua to meet Taifu, one, it was the acting prime minister to congratulate Taifu, the new Jingzhou, the strength of the new Han Dynasty is grander, and Prime Minister Cao Cheng specially sent a thousand gold to congratulate. ”
"Oh? Cao Mengde really has a heart, so generous! Sure enough, he is a heroic hero, but how embarrassing is it to let him break the bank? However, reluctantly, just take it. But it's disrespectful. Haha...... "Liu Yike doesn't care what Cao Cao sent Hua Xin to see him this time, but if he doesn't take advantage of it, he is a fool." Cao Cao wants to give him a daughter, how can he not want it?
"Hehe, Prime Minister Cao, he has always been very generous to his friends. Well, what about this second, Prime Minister Cao Cheng thinks that whether it is the New Han Dynasty or the court of Xudu, in fact, they are all the court of the Han Dynasty, and the emperors are all brothers who will not be separated from death, and their blood is thicker than water. Therefore, the prime minister believes that there is no need for our two families to compete for a while. That, Jingzhou Liu Biao sent Cai Mao several times to invite the prime minister to come and take over Jingzhou, and the prime minister was also sincere and difficult to accept, so he agreed to accept Jingzhou. At this moment, since Taifu took over Jingzhou first, the prime minister believes that there is no need to argue with Taifu about who governs Jingzhou. They are all brothers, who governs Jingzhou is not the same? Taifu, do you say yes? Hua Xin said with a sincere face.
"Oh? Haha, Cao Mengde, Cao Mengde, well, okay, what he said makes some sense. So what does he want? Liu Yi naturally knew that Hua Xin was just talking, but he still pretended to be very listened.
"This ...... The prime minister is a subordinate and wants to discuss with the Taifu about the boundary between our two courts......" Hua Xin secretly glanced at Liu Yi and said. (To be continued......)
