"Not necessarily?" Cai Mao's heart sank slightly and asked. He has always respected Kuai Yue, if Kuai Yue said that it may not be, then there must be a reason.

At this moment, Liu Biao is gone. Jingzhou will surely usher in a period of turmoil. It may be that after Sun Quan calms Shanyue, this kind of shock is still continuing, and it has to be guarded against. Kuai Yue said cautiously.

"Okay, I'll send someone to inform Liu Feng immediately." Cai Mao thought about it, and also felt that the only threat now was from Sun Quan, and he had to guard against it. I couldn't help but nod.

"Wait." Just as Cai Mao was about to turn around and leave, Kuai Yue stopped Cai Mao again.

"That Liu Feng is your son-in-law, you can reuse it. simply gave Changsha to him, so that Jiangxia, Jiujiang, and Changsha counties were all together to resist Sun Quan. Facing Cai Mao's puzzled gaze, Kuai pondered for a moment and said.

"Xenodu is afraid that Liu Pan in Changsha will have a round with Liu Qi and create an incident?" Cai Mao's heart moved.

"Well, Changsha Taishou Liu Pan and Liu Qi have always been good, and now that Liu Cong has succeeded to the throne, he must be dissatisfied. Changsha is very close to Calcium Yang, where Liu Qi is located, so in order to avoid them connecting one piece, it is necessary to start early. Let your son-in-law succeed Changsha Taishou. Increase his power and resist the Sun. Kuai Yue nodded.

"Hmm." Cai Mao nodded very happily and said, of course he has no opinion, increasing the power of his son-in-law and being able to resist Sun Quan is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.

Immediately, Cai Mao and the two separated, Kuai Yue went to deal with trivial affairs, and Cai Mao returned to the house and summoned the little official hired by Liu Feng, Jiao Xiang.

Cai Mao only saw this little official once. But the impression is not bad, he is a stable person, and since he was sent by Liu Feng to Xiangyang for employment, he must also be a confidant, and it is best for him to wait for the news.

In the study, Cai Mao sat on the main seat, and Jiao Xiang knelt on the side.

"Liu Biaoxue is gone. You go back and tell Liu Feng and ask him to prepare the water army. Always ready to receive Changsha. Looking at the steady look in his eyes, Cai Mao nodded secretly in his heart and said softly.

"Really dead?" Jiao Xiang was shocked in his heart, he also heard the mourning music coming from the Zhennan General's Mansion, but he was not sure that this mourning music was played for Liu Biao.

Liu Biao's death, how much is involved. It will lead to instability. It can also lead to the rise of Liu Feng.

Neither Cai Mao nor Kuai Yue had any vigilance against Liu Feng, thinking that as long as they surrendered to Cao, Liu Feng would follow suit.

But Jiao Xiang, as an official in Jiangxia, could vaguely feel Liu Feng's ambition. Moreover, the current Jiangxia has become a force of its own and can be regarded as a country.

Liu Feng used the means of dominating the country to rule Jiangxia. Is it mortal?

So Jiao Xiang was shocked at first, and then ecstatic. Jing Chu is unstable, and he can get a county for nothing. In the world, there will be such a free lunch.

Although the heart is shocked, ecstatic. But on his face, Jiao Xiang always remained calm, nodded and said, "The lower official will definitely bring the words of the military advisor to Liu Jiangxia word for word." ”

"That's fine, you set off immediately and return to Jiangxia." Cai Mao saw that Jiao Xiang's face was always the same, and he was even more satisfied, and said.

"No." Jiao Xiang answered, got up and left. Cai Mao sent a housekeeper to give Jiao Xiang a ride.

Jiao Xiang first sent someone to inform him, went to the deputy hired by the Huang family, and then gathered the escorts who accompanied him this time and set off for the north of the city.

After leaving the city, head north. After boarding the boat at the ferry, another team of men and horses arrived, and immediately set off for the south.

The ship is still yesterday's ship, and the soldiers are still yesterday's soldiers. But Jiao Xiang's mood was very different.

Standing at the bow of the boat, with the handsome flag of the word "Liu" floating on his head, Jiao Xiang's heart was in the distance. But as soon as it was said, Liu Biao died.

Calculating the time, it was not long after they entered the city.

It's not because the lord married Cai's daughter and Huang's daughter. This caused Liu Biao to be critically ill? It seems to be like this, I heard that Liu Biao begged Cai Mao's daughter to be his wife for Liu Cong.

In a fit of anger, you may be dying.

Jiao Xiang shook his head, feeling a little funny. How can the princes of one side be angry to death? Liu Biao's mind is not so narrow-minded.

Thinking about it, Jiao Xiang raised his head and looked in the direction of Jiangxia.

Jiangxia, Jiujiang, Changsha. The momentum of the lord's take-off is successful.

Under Jiao Xiang's fiery mood, the fleet went down the river and soon arrived at Xiakou. In Xiakou, after returning the warship to Gan Ning. Jiao Xiang took the soldiers and returned to Xiling.

Xiling Castle is too guarded in the house.

Liu Feng had already received the news that Gan Ning was coming quickly, and sent soldiers to wait at the door early, and as soon as Jiao Xiang arrived, he was invited into the study.

In the study, Liu Feng was wearing a regular suit, but his heroism was undiminished. Seeing Jiao Xiang enter, he asked, "Is things going well?" ”

"It went well." Jiao Xiang raised his fist and smiled.

"Hehe, that's good." Liu Feng smiled and said, relieved in his heart, this matter is too important, if it is missed, the loss will be great.

It would be best to do it safely and properly now.

"My lord, my subordinates also brought back a message from Xiangyang." Just when Liu Feng breathed a sigh of relief, Jiao Xiang spoke.

In the words, I couldn't hold back the excitement.

"What's the matter?" Liu Feng's eyes froze, and he asked in a deep voice. But I felt that the news that Jiao Xiang said should be unusual. Otherwise, the calm Jiao Xiang would not be so excited.

"Liu Biao died, and Liu Cong succeeded him. Cai Junshi asked his subordinates to tell the lord, please send the navy to the south, and when the appointment arrives, let the navy take over Changsha. Jiao Xiang took a deep breath, suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and said softly.

He's dead? Liu Feng's first thought was incredible, because according to historical records, Liu Biao should be able to last for a few years. waited until the eve of the Battle of Chibi to die.

But a moment later, Liu Feng was attracted by the news. Don't care about history or not, he is still Jiangxia Taishou.

At this time, some details of history are no longer very reliable.

The most important thing now is not to study the cause of Liu Biao's death, but how to deal with the affairs of Changsha.

"Okay." Liu Feng shouted hello, and then looked at Jiao Xiang and said with a smile: "This trip, you handled things well, and you brought back such important news." The so-called meritorious service must be rewarded. Today, I will worship you as a meritorious servant and help the chief bookkeeper Jiang Wan to deal with the affairs of the county. ”

"Thank you, Lord." From a small official to a gongcao, it can be said that it is a step to the sky. No matter how calm Jiao Xiang's surname was, he was excited at this moment, but he didn't break the rules and bowed down.

"Hehe, go down and tell Jiang Wan yourself, and let him draft the appointment document." The so-called reward is loyalty, seeing that he is as calm as Jiao Xiang, he is also excited, Liu Feng smiled slightly.

"No." Jiao Xiang exhaled a long breath, barely calmed down, answered, and said goodbye to leave.

After Jiao Xiang left, Liu Feng immediately ordered someone to go find Pang Tong to come over.

At present, his power has expanded eastward to Jiujiang, and then to the east is Yuzhang, a heavy city in Jiangdong, if there is no particularly good opportunity, it will definitely not be defeated.

Moreover, that would cause a series of beacon fires, and it would not be cost-effective to fight with Jiangdong now.

To the north is Cao Ying's territory, about hundreds of miles away, is Wancheng. It is impractical to expand the city in Jiangbei.

Next, the only ones that can be connected to Jiangxia are Jiangling County and Changsha County. The former is an important county connecting the north and south of Jingchu, and Liu Feng never thought of occupying it. At least not now.

And the latter is much inferior. The geographical location is not important, and it is also connected to Koto, and it costs a large amount of baggage every year to defend Koto's attack.

Secondly, the population is not large, only about 1780,000.

Anyway, for Jingzhou, Changsha is chicken ribs, tasteless food, and it is a pity to abandon it.

But this piece of chicken ribs, for Liu Feng, who has a headache because of the scarcity of the chassis and the lack of maneuver, is just a quick fatten.

Salivating.

I also planned early, preparing to exchange grain for the city during the great drought. Now the white flowers are sent to the door, and they are sent by the father-in-law.

Liu Feng didn't smile and accept it, how could he be worthy of himself.

If you can get such a large city, the whole strategic plan is different. Liu Feng naturally wanted to discuss with Pang Tong.

"My lord." Soon, Pang Tong entered the study and greeted Dao.

Liu Feng put away his thoughts, looked up, and saw that the complexion on Pang Tong's face was darker, and the resolute aura on his body was thicker.

"Liu Biao is dead, my future father-in-law wants to give Changsha to me, what does Shiyuan think?" Liu Feng smiled slightly.

"Liu Biao is dead?" Pang Tong was also stunned by this news, but then, Pang Tong sighed slightly: "It's a pity, it's a pity." ”

"What a pity?" Liu Feng asked a little strangely, it is a pity to get the city in vain now.

"If it is later, or earlier, we can rely on Changsha and the trust of Cai Junshi to slowly encroach on Jingnan, and then we will become a country of our own like the Jiangdong Sun family. And now, Cao Ren in the north is ready to move, and we have no chance to open up Jingnan at all. Pang Tong shook his head and said.

Liu Fengshu smiled and said: "Hehe, Shiyuan's heart is too broad, if you eat it now, you will eat it." Changsha County is ours. ”

"In Changsha County, the population has almost skyrocketed by 40%. It's also a big increase, it's because my heart is too greedy. Unexpectedly, Pang Tong actually admitted his mistake, bowed to Liu Feng, and said apologetically.

As a military advisor, the most taboo thing is that the heart is too greedy. Just now, I didn't check it for a while. But the heart is too greedy.

Liu Feng didn't expect Pang Tong to admit his mistake so happily. Slightly stunned, but I don't plan to worry too much about this.

"yes. Four sincerity and benevolence. Liu Feng nodded, and then, remembering something again, he couldn't help but say sadly: "This Changsha County is already within reach, but who will govern it?" ”

Pang Tong was slightly stunned, but he was also at a loss for anything.

There are too few talents who can be used on Liu Feng's side. Originally, according to the structure of a force, there must be a county guard who stands alone, and there must also be a complete central system.

Now Liu Feng has almost no central system, so forget it. But even the county guard can't get it together.

Liu Feng knew that it was time to find some people. With the expansion of Changsha, after Jiang Wan joined, the civil and official system that could barely operate was missing again.

But who is it best to look for?

The talents of Jingzhou either defected to themselves or to Liu Bei. The rest are the hermits.

Liu Feng felt that it was very tricky.
