Jingzhou is indeed finished, although now, it has not officially fallen into the hands of the New Han Army.

However, as long as people with a little vision can already see that Jingzhou is already equivalent to the meat in Liu Yi's bowl, and you can eat it with chopsticks if you want to.

Cai Mao had to think about fleeing Xiangyang immediately. He felt that he couldn't shake the situation in Jingzhou anymore, and in Xiangyang City, Jingzhou's civil and military forces were afraid that they would no longer listen to him Cai Mao. And in such a situation, Cai Mao naturally did not dare to take strong coercion to blackmail Jingzhou's civil and military forces. Now Jingzhou's civil and military affairs, the resentment against Cai Mao has reached a boiling peak, if you put pressure on them again, let them lose their minds, I am afraid that Xiangyang will really be in chaos, and all the civil and military tycoons, I am afraid that they will support their own troops and stand on their own, and confront him Cai Mao, when the time comes, his Cai family and Zhang family will be really dangerous.

Therefore, Cai Mao wants to escape, and he must be fast.

As for whether he can keep his position if he goes to Cao Cao, Cai Mao is still a little confident.

Because he saw very clearly that Cao Cao was now lacking a naval army. Although I heard that Cao Cao had established a naval army, whether it was the combat effectiveness or scale of the water battle, he definitely did not have the strength to confront the naval army of the New Han Dynasty head-on. Otherwise, at this moment, Cao Cao's military horses would not have to come to the other side of Xiangyang, but they could only look at the river and sigh, and could only look at Xiangyang being attacked by the New Han Army, and look at the more than 200,000 Jingzhou troops falling into the hands of the New Han Army.

Cai Mao knew that Cao Cao would definitely be useful to him one day.

In particular, Cai Mao knew Cao Cao's ambitions. He Cai Mao has greater ambitions for wealth. But Cao Cao is determined to be in the Han world. If Cao Cao still wants to seize the Han world, he still wants to confront the New Han army one day. Then it is indispensable to form a strong water army.

For Cao Cao's current situation, he actually has all the conditions suitable for forming a powerful naval army. Its territory of influence, along the east coast of Xuzhou and Yangzhou, has a long coastline, and there are countless rivers within its borders. It is imperative to set up a large number of Cao Cao's water army.

Cai Mao knows. In Cao Cao's army, I am afraid that there are few generals who are good at water warfare, so he threw himself into Cao Cao's account. It can be expected that in the future, among Cao Cao's water army, there will be a place for him Cai Mao.

He and Zhang Yunyi together must immediately mobilize their Cai family and Zhang Yun's Zhang family. began to quietly evacuate Xiangyang. Transfer their property.

This matter must be hidden from all the Jingzhou civil and military forces, otherwise, how could the Jingzhou civil and military forces in despair let them escape?

In addition, Cai Mao sent cronies who were very proficient in water to secretly sneak across the Xiangjiang River to meet Cao Cao. Ask Cao Cao to answer them.

At this time, Liu Yi was also a little busy.

The northern region of Jingzhou. It's also quite expansive. The report on military and political affairs flew to Anzhong County like snowflakes, and these needed to be handled by Liu Yi in a timely manner.

Yin Xiao, Zhang Ning, Huang Wudie and other women, and even Queen He Wan and other women, they all went from Wancheng to Anzhong County, helping Liu Yi review some information.

After finally dealing with some military and political affairs, Liu Yi was able to stretch his waist and prepare to leave the official office with his daughters.

For the Jingzhou army captured more than 100,000 Jingzhou troops at once, Liu Yi expected that the naval armies of Gan Ning, Huang Zhong and his son would definitely seize the Xiangjiang River in time and stop the Jingzhou army that had escaped from Anzhong County on the north bank of the Xiangjiang River.

Whether it is Gan Ning or Huang Xu, their control of the overall situation of the battle situation still reassures Liu Yi. When Liu Yi sent orders for them to start sending troops to seize Xiangjiang, he mentioned to them that they had to stop the Jingzhou army that had taken down these Jingzhou defense lines, prevent them from joining up with the Jingzhou army in Xiangyang, and prevent them from possibly crossing the Xiangjiang River east to join Cao Cao.

In this way, they knew that if they could not stop the Jingzhou army in time, then the situation would change radically. Because of this, they drove full horsepower, with the fastest and strongest attitude, so that the Jingzhou naval army did not have the slightest strength to fight back, and the army drove straight into the river at the junction of the Xiangjiang River and the Yushui River.

Because Liu Yi had confidence in Gan Ning, Huang Zhong's father and son, he was not surprised at all about the defeat of the Jingzhou army.

Liu Yi never thought it was a problem to seize Jingzhou, but after the seizure, how to govern, how to be able to resist the Cao Cao army that was eyeing him, how to make Jingzhou under his rule, reduce the harassment of the enemy army as much as possible, and let the people under his rule really stay away from the war.

For the eastern region of Jingzhou, Liu Yi thought about it for a long time, and decided not to send troops to occupy it for the time being. After all, now Cao Cao personally led the army on the other side of the Yushui River, and if Liu Yi wanted to cross the river with his army at this moment, it would inevitably have to fight a big battle with Cao Cao.

Liu Yike is not so stupid, it is obvious that Cao Cao's forces have a huge advantage, how can he take the initiative to send troops to compete with Cao Cao for the eastern region of Jingzhou, which is like chicken ribs.

After Liu Yi and a group of strategists, a plan has been formulated on how to defend the northern and central regions of Jingzhou.

Well, it is impossible for Liu Yi to be like Liu Biao, in order to guard against the attack of the New Han army on Jingzhou, he actually spent so much manpower and material resources, like building the Great Wall, building a defensive wall. It is also impossible for Liu Yi to build a defensive wall against Cao Cao on the edge of Yushui and Xiangjiang.

As for how to beware of Cao Jun's harassment, the plan is this.

First of all, in Wancheng, it is still necessary to leave a new Han army's elite soldiers to defend it, because Wancheng is too important, and the Cao army can also directly attack Wancheng from the northeast direction of Wancheng, which has to be guarded against.

In addition, the entire Yushui River to the defense line of Xiangyang. It was naturally impossible for Liu Yi to divide his troops to defend it. Every few miles of lots were taken, and a tun was built. This, in fact, is the same as the place where the state was merged and the diplomatic circles of Cyprus were at the beginning. In each earthen village, it is enough to leave a few soldiers to guard it, for example, there is only one army or one person. These are just for the purpose of surveillance, day and night let them stare at the other side of the river, monitor the movements of Cao Cao's army, and once they find that Cao Cao's military horses are about to be smuggled over, they will immediately report to the Xinhan army in Wancheng or Anzhong County. And then make corresponding countermeasures.

As a matter of fact. Liu Yi was not worried that the territory of Jingzhou, which he had recovered and governed, would be destroyed by Cao Cao's army.

Because, after sending someone to monitor Cao Cao's every move like this, he was in such a situation. If he dared to send military horses across the river to sneak attack, Liu Yi would dare to destroy them.

The entire river is under the control of his own water army, will Liu Yi still worry about Cao Jun crossing the river and sneaking attack? To be honest, now that the northern part of Jingzhou has fallen into the hands of Liu Yi, Liu Yi no longer has to worry about Cao Cao's attack. Even if Cao Cao dared to lead his army across the river now, Liu Yi didn't have to worry too much.

Because. As long as he used his own water army to cut off Cao Cao's grain route, Liu Yi wanted to see it. Cao Cao's military horses, what food to survive.

A plan was formulated to guard against the attack of Cao Cao's army and horses, so it would be easy to manage the area north of Jingzhou that had been captured.

These were sent by the New Han Dynasty. Those civil servants who have undergone special training. will do a good job, Liu Yi only needs to inspect occasionally, pay attention to whether the people below are in accordance with the established methods and policies.

Pang Degong came to see Liu Yi, he hoped to go to Xiangyang first, he wanted to go back to Xiangyang to persuade those stubborn famous families, hoping that they could return to the new Han Dynasty. Don't go to war with the New Han Dynasty again. After all, he is a famous man in Jingxiang, and his reputation is great. It's unimaginable to the average person. In Pang Degong's heart, he really didn't want to destroy Xiangyang City in a war. He hoped that Liu Yi could resolve the Xiangyang matter peacefully.

Liu Yi thought about it, agreed to Pang Degong's request, sent two or three Shi A's brothers as guards, and sent a letter to Gan Ning and other generals, asking them to send Pang Degong to Xiangyang safely.

In fact, Pang Degong has already made some achievements.

After subduing Anzhong County, he came forward and summoned some local scholars in Anzhong County, publicized the basic national law of the New Han Dynasty to them, and called on them to focus on the overall situation and the revitalization of the entire Han Dynasty. Let him have a little of their existing interests, so that all the people can see the hope of a good life. Moreover, Pang Degong also vaguely told them that if they could take the initiative to cooperate with the New Han Dynasty to implement the new policy, then they might gain more in the future than they have lost now. But if you don't cooperate, if you really want the New Han Dynasty to be serious about them, then I'm afraid you won't be so lucky. When their property is really forcibly confiscated, then they really cry without tears.

In this way, many wealthy families of the noble clan have woken up, or rather, they are unwilling, but they can only do things according to the policies of the New Han Dynasty.

The wealthy families of the noble clan, they have countless land, and these must be divided, and they can only keep a small part. This is really a bit similar to the land reform in later generations, they are all fighting local tyrants.

There is no way, because, in every place, its landscapes and fields are fixed, just so much. If one of these families occupies the vast majority of the land, then there will inevitably be more people who will not have land to cultivate. If you don't cut them down, will you be able to conjure up many fields out of thin air?

This, it's really not that those wealthy families of the noble clan disagree.

Of course, there are really many people who don't understand the practices of the New Han Dynasty, and they still want to make trouble.

According to the situation, for those local tyrants who are not too bad in conscience, it does not mean that they have completely occupied the land that belongs to them, and they will be compensated.

Well, in fact, there are really a lot of local tyrants who make trouble. However, under the other high-pressure policies of the New Han Dynasty, even if they made trouble, they could not make much trouble.

For example, population registration, re-registration, and giving all ordinary people the status of subjects of the New Han Dynasty and becoming subjects of the New Han Dynasty will have many benefits and benefits.

Among the big families, their original subordinates, slaves, slaves, and so on. Under the new policy, they can all leave the main family unconditionally and have an identity where they can be upright.

As soon as this big killer comes out, who among those big families still wants to serve the main family for generations, be slaves and maids? Being a cow and a horse for the sake of the Lord's life, and not having a little freedom in life? Who wants?

The big families didn't dare to stop those people from leaving their homes and setting up their own doors. Even if the New Han Dynasty did not force them to dismiss their own family slaves, those slaves were afraid that they would rebel against the lord with the support of the New Han Dynasty government.

Of course, if some people think of the kindness of the main family, they are willing not to be truly a citizen of the New Han Dynasty. would rather continue to be a slave of others, this, Liu Yi has nothing to say. If you want to be a thief, will you stop them?

Anyway, under the multi-pronged approach, the policy of the new Han Dynasty should work.

It was already dark, and the front line had already sent Wei Yan.

He was indeed stunned by Dian Wei, and suffered a little internal injury because of it. But it didn't make him weak enough to really be carried along.

On the way. He had already woken up, and at first, his head was still a little dizzy. But after resting for a while, I was able to get up and walk on my own.

He had already asked clearly, these soldiers of the New Han Army were about to carry him to see Liu Yi.

Well. For Wei Yan now. Liu Yi is really a tall and tall being, in the Jingzhou army, unless he is on the battlefield, otherwise, he really has no chance to see Liu Yi.

And Liu Yi is equivalent to the storage of the princes of Liu Biao. He hadn't even seen Liu Biao with his own eyes, but now, I heard that he could see Liu Yi. I really couldn't help but be surprised.

Of course, Liu Yi has been famous for too long. Today's Taifu of the New Han Dynasty, his future lord, the first time he saw the lord, Wei Yan actually had a kind of apprehension about the first time the big girl went to the flower bridge.

Liu Yi happened to go out with the women outside the door of the official office, and Wei Yan and his party arrived.

A group of soldiers knelt down to see Liu Yi first.

Wei Yan stood dumbfounded, and for a while he didn't realize that the person who looked like a young scholar at this door was Liu Yi.

"You guys are ......" Liu Yi saw these soldiers, all of them had blood on their bodies, and they seemed to have come down from the battlefield just now, I don't know why.

"My lord, I am on the order of General Dian Wei to escort a member to come down to see the lord, by the way...... By the way, let the lord heal his wounds. ”

"Oops...... A general is a general, but you are an escort, not an escort, right? Our injuries are fine. As soon as Wei Yan heard those soldiers say this, he couldn't help but shout.

"Bold! Do you not meet the lord when you see him? The soldiers were not afraid of Wei Yanxiang because of his ferocity and his bravery, and they still shouted at him.

"Oh, yes!"

Wei Yan hurriedly walked over and knelt in front of Liu Yi at once.

"Wei Yan and Wei Wenchang, a native of Yiyang, are here to serve the lord and dedicate himself to serving the lord and serving the dogs and horses!"

"What? Wei Yan? You are Wei Yan? ”

When Liu Yi heard this, he couldn't help but be a little stunned, and hurriedly looked down at him.

Wei Yan is not very old, it is estimated that he is in his twenties at most, but his appearance really makes Liu Yi miserable, not to mention ugly, he looks really too vicious, looking at it casually, it seems that he has a grudge against others, and he looks vicious.

However, people can't be disguised, this person's talent and talent will not lose to Cao Cao's five good generals too much. As far as training the army and unifying the army are concerned, I am afraid that it will not be worse than Zhang Fei, who is purely a general. He's a talent who can barely stand on his own.

Historically, under Liu Bei's account, he was afraid that he was a general second only to the Five Tiger Generals in terms of fame.

If Wei Yan hadn't suddenly appeared in front of him, Liu Yi really didn't know how to find him. Because, now Changsha is already in his own hands, in private, Liu Yi and Huang Zhong occasionally hit this person, but Huang Zhong doesn't know, even Huang Zhong doesn't know people, how can Liu Yi find him?

"Lord, you—have you heard of us?" Wei Yan raised his head, a little puzzled.

"Hehe, no, but now that we know, well, what's going on?" Liu Yi changed the topic at will.

"My lord, it's like this......"

has its own sergeant, who will explain the situation clearly in a few words.

"Oh? Dian Wei Na Guy, well, forget it, this time, Dian Wei recommended people to merit. Get up. Liu Yi stepped forward and helped Wei Yan up, while transporting the Yuanyang True Qi in his body, secretly contacting him, and seeing if he was injured, he said to him: "Wen Chang, you will be a member of our New Han Dynasty in the future, I hope you will remember today's words, truly serve the New Han Dynasty with all your heart, and never betray, in the future, we will work together to revitalize the Han Dynasty." Well, you did suffer internal injuries, I'm afraid you will have to rest for some time, so let's go to Wancheng to recuperate first, and when the injuries are healed, I will let you lead the army by yourself. How is it? ”

Be Dian Wei's lieutenant? That's just a waste of talent, as long as he is loyal to himself, he can be vigorously promoted.

In fact, Wei Yan in history may have really died unjustly, and he should not have the heart to rebel. However, under the influence, Liu Yi couldn't help but remind Wei Yan not to do rebellious things in the future.

"An army? How many men are there in our army? ”

Surprise, really too much surprise, Wei Yan really never thought that Liu Yi would value him so much, and as soon as he came, he said that he would let him lead an army.

"Our New Han Army is a unified organization, and the truly integrated First Army has more than 25,000 people."

The soldiers of the New Han Army next to him agreed.

"How much? Twenty, more than twenty thousand? This, this...... I calculated, I was originally in the Jingzhou Army, from the commander to the team rate, and there were more than 100 people under my hands, how many times is this? A hundredfold, ah, thank you, lord! This life of my Wei Yan will be the lord's in the future, please accept my three bows! ”

Knock knock!

Wei Yan really knocked his head three times seriously.

However, Liu Yi listened to Wei Yan's words, and couldn't help but feel a little inappropriate for a while, because, this guy is actually only a team leader in the Jingzhou army, and there are only 100 people under his hands. But this guy didn't have a little timidity, as if he was taking it for granted that he commanded a military horse of more than 20,000 people, and his face was happy. (To be continued......)
