Chapter 359: All according to Jiang Xia
June 8, 6th year of Jian'an. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info [full text reading]
Hao Zhao, who had completed the work, left 2,000 soldiers in the camp to continue to guard Xiling, while he himself returned to Yixian County with Cai Mao to return to Wang Chong.
During this period, Cai Mao made a request to Wang Chong that was not excessive: "General, the villain hopes that before the general takes Jingzhou, he can announce that the villain will be detained, otherwise, Liu Biao will most likely vent his anger on my Cai family!" ”
Although Wang Chong didn't think that Liu Biao had the courage to attack the behemoth of the Cai family, he still nodded and agreed to Cai Mao's request, after all, if Jinfan wants to completely control Jingxiang, he must be inseparable from the support of the Cai and Kuai families.
Now, the Kuai family has taken refuge in secret, and there is only one Cai family left, so he naturally has to try his best to fight for it.
In the afternoon of the same day, Liu Pan and Huang Zhong, who had been forced to surrender in Jingnan, were also sent by Gan Ning to Yi County.
"Sin General Liu Pan (Huang Zhong), meet the lord!"
Looking at the young and somewhat excessive figure on the main seat, Liu Pan and Huang Zhong's eyes flashed with a look of surprise, and then they knelt down on one knee in front of Wang Chongqi.
"Two generals, please get up!" Wang Chong made a gesture of support, and at the same time, the snooping eye was secretly activated, and the loyalty of the two was suddenly revealed in Wang Chong's mind without reservation.
Liu Pan 63, Huang Zhong 70.
Not to Wang Chong's expectations, the loyalty of the two is not very high, although they are temporarily in a relatively safe range, but with the relationship between Liu Pan and Liu Biao, once Liu Biao secretly contacts Liu Pan, the latter is very likely to choose to mutiny, such data obviously eliminates Wang Chong's idea of sending Liu Pan as a general.
As for Huang Zhong...... It's not a big problem, but the premise is that he and Liu Pan must be separated.
Thinking of this, Wang Chong had already made a decision in his heart.
"Presumably the two generals have heard of it, my Jinfan has always been eclectic in employing people, only talking about ability, not asking about qualifications, about the talents of the two generals, the general has already understood in my brother's letter. So...... General Huang. ”
"The last general!" Huang Zhong secretly swallowed his saliva, for Wang Chong's next appointment, Huang Zhong can be said to be both apprehensive and expectant.
Wang Chong smiled and said, "I heard that General Huang's archery skills are like gods, and his martial arts are unparalleled. Now that I am in Jinfan and set up Jiangxia, it is the time to employ people, and the general wants to make General Huang the general of Fengyi Zhonglang, and lead 5,000 troops to garrison Shaxian to help General Hao guard Jiangxia. I don't know what General Huang thinks? ”
Huang Zhong's pupils shrank, and a look of incredulity suddenly rose on his face, and he was stunned for a long time before he reacted, and hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, lord!" ”
Although under Liu Biao, Huang Zhong has been appointed as a Zhonglang general very early, but in the final analysis, his position is only nominal, in terms of real power, his direct boss Liu Pan only has 3,000 soldiers and horses, let alone his subordinate?
But right now. Although his position is still a lieutenant general, he can hold 5,000 male soldiers, and he was assigned to the important town of Shaxian to garrison, and the power in his hands is not the same as before, how can he not like it?
Wang Chong headed to the right, and Hao Zhao frowned, because Wang Chong also mentioned himself in his arrangement for Huang Zhong.
"Bo Dao!" At this time, Wang Chong turned his gaze to Hao Zhao. Solved the doubts in his heart, "Jiangxia is close to Jingzhou, and Liu Biao may send troops to counterattack at any time, so I will need to leave a master who can take charge of himself to sit in Jiangxia." And you, definitely the most suitable person for this! ”
Trap general and Jiangxia Taishou, this is a new official position and position that Wang Chong intends to promote Hao Zhao.
Among all the generals in Jinfan, Hao Zhao joined Jinfan relatively early, and at that time, Wang Chong had not even taken Wancheng. In the past two years or so, Hao Zhao's trapping camp can be said to have made a lot of contributions to Jinfan.
At present, even Wei Yan, who has lower qualifications than Hao Zhao and has less credit than Hao Zhao, has become the Huiji Taishou, and with Hao Zhao's ability and merits, he is enough to be qualified for the position of Jiangxia Taishou.
Hao Zhao forcibly restrained the excitement in his heart, got up and bowed to Wang Chong: "Don't worry, my lord, but one day at the end of the day, I will never let the Jingzhou army cross the thunder pond!" ”
Wang Chong nodded, and said to Hao Zhao and Huang Zhong: "Jiangxia's stability is related to whether my Jinfan can smoothly enter Jingzhou in the future, so I hope that the two of you can work together, in addition, Ben will also need to remind you, that is, this time, Ben will not send you Jiangxia to send an additional soldier, and the more than 20,000 Jingzhou soldiers who fell into the camp and surrendered in this battle will become all the main forces of your defense of Jiangxia, whether you can successfully subdue them afterwards and let them serve me wholeheartedly, It's all up to you! ”
Hearing this, Hao Zhao and Huang Zhong glanced at each other, and their faces were solemn, after all, there were only three or four thousand soldiers in the camp, and there were more than 20,000 soldiers in Jingzhou, if one was not handled well, I was afraid that it would most likely cause a mutiny.
Hao Zhao took a deep breath and said, "Lord, there will be a reluctant invitation in the end, and I hope that the lord will be fulfilled!" ”
"Tell me about it!"
"The last general hopes that General Cai can stay in Jiangxia for a while to help us collect and surrender prisoners!"
Cai Mao was born in the Jingxiang clan, not only the military advisor of Jingzhou, but also the governor of the navy, and has a very high prestige in the Jingzhou army.
"Oh? You're smart! Wang Chong smiled and said, "De Jue, what do you think?" ”
Cai Mao didn't want to agree much, because it would indirectly expose the fact that he was already working for Jinfan, but looking at Wang Chong's attitude, he knew that if he refused, it would not only cause Wang Chong's dissatisfaction, but also make him offend General Jinfan, which was very unfavorable to his current situation, so after weighing the pros and cons, Cai Mao finally reluctantly agreed: "Since General Hao can be used below, it is naturally incumbent on him to be below!" ”
"Good!" Wang Chong nodded, and said quietly, "Deju's contributions to my Jinfan will be recorded one by one, and when the meritorious deeds are rewarded in the future, Deju will not be disadvantaged!" ”
Cai Mao smiled bitterly: "Thank you, General!" ”
"What an idiot!" Wang Chong smiled on the surface, but in his heart, he was extremely disgusted with Cai Mao's ignorance.
From Cai Mao's name for himself, it is not difficult for Wang Chong to guess that this guy didn't really want to work for Jinfan at all, or that he never looked down on Jinfan from beginning to end, and all the compromises he made now were just to save his life, if he found an opportunity, this guy would 100% choose to slip away.
For such a person who does not know the current affairs and has always been unable to recognize reality, if it were not for the time being, Wang Chong would have had his head cut off with a knife, saving him from seeing and worrying. (To be continued.) )
