Different from the low morale of the Cao army, the morale of the defenders was high, and they were eager to go out of the city immediately to fight to the death with the Cao army, and more than 300 cavalry of the Cao army were exterminated at the city gate, and under the propaganda of Liu Bei and others, they became thousands of people, and the morale of the army was boosted.

Liu Pan saw that Cao Cao was deceived so easily, and his vigilance against Cao Cao was also reduced to the minimum.

In the middle of the night, the gate of Jiangling slowly opened, and Liu Pan took the lead and walked out of Jiangling City, followed by two thousand soldiers, and the target was the dark Cao army camp.

Liu Bei had such great achievements when Cao Jun attacked Jiangling City last night, so that Liu Pan couldn't sit still, and even took this sneak attack on Cao Jun's camp, he didn't say hello to Liu Bei in advance, and then in his opinion, the biggest official position in Jiangling is himself, but every time Liu Bei takes a big advantage, he is naturally a little angry in his heart.

People are fighting for a breath, Liu Pan is the general of Jingzhou, and he thinks that he is many times stronger than Liu Bei, a person who wanders around.

Liu Pan led the soldiers and quietly approached the Cao army camp, after last night's defeat, the Cao army camp seemed to be a lot slack off on defense, and there were not many soldiers guarding the camp.

"Cao Cao is arrogant, Jiangling is your burial place." Liu Pan said contemptuously.

The vanguard troops, opening the antlers and the gate of the camp, Liu Pan did not doubt him, and led the remaining soldiers to kill the Cao army.

The torches lit in his hands were constantly thrown on the tent of Cao's camp, and after a while, a raging fire ignited.

Listening to the constant wails of the soldiers and the shouts of the generals in Cao's army, Liu Pan's face showed a touch of triumph.

As soon as the location of the Chinese army was killed, a cavalry team appeared in front, numbering about five hundred people, all dressed in armor, holding scimitars, as the first general, majestic, holding a big knife, looking at Liu Panjun who was constantly advancing with cold eyes.

"Kill." Xiahou Dun waved the big knife in his hand, kicked the horse's belly lightly with his legs, and the war horse understood and killed Liu Panjun.

Five hundred cavalry, effortlessly tore through the protection of Liu Pan's army, how is the infantry the opponent of the cavalry, only the person who kills is on his back, Liu Pan does not have the relaxed expression he had before, and the Cao army camp is obviously prepared.

"Withdraw." Liu Pan shouted loudly and turned the horse's head first.

It's easy to come in, but it's extremely difficult to get out, every step has soldiers killed, the main general has taken the lead in withdrawing, and the soldiers in their hands don't have much combat power, and the Cao soldiers who heard the news have implemented the ability to beat the water dogs, and the two thousand Liu Panjun killed the crying father and mother, how can there be the majesty before.

By the time Liu Pan fought his way out, there were only more than 500 soldiers around him.

"Don't go, Liu Pan." Xiahou Dun took the lead and killed Liu Pan, depending on the situation, he would not be willing to leave Liu Pan outside the city, he suffered such a big loss in the city last night, Xiahou Dun held his breath in his heart.

Liu Pan was not afraid when he saw Xiahou Dun coming, and after commanding the soldiers to retreat, he then fought for a while, exhausted his strength, and left.

It was Liu Bei in the city who learned that Liu Pan went out of the city to attack Cao's army, so he hurriedly sent Guan Yu out of the city to respond, and then took Liu Pan back to the city.

When he went, he was majestic with 2,000 soldiers, and when he returned, there were only more than 500 people, Liu Pan's expression was low, although Liu Bei's status in Liu Biao's heart was lower than him, he thought that Liu Bei could reprimand him, so that he would feel better in his heart.

With one victory and one defeat, the morale of the defenders in the city seems to have dropped.

"Lord, now is summer, and it is expected that there will be heavy rain in the next three days, so I secretly ordered General Guan to go out of the city and intercept the river outside the city," Zhuge Liang said slowly.

Liu Bei's eyes lit up, in this way, not only the crisis in Jingzhou can be solved, but the Cao army will also lose its troops, it is impossible to have troops to attack in a short period of time, maybe take the opportunity to recover Nanyang County, in this way, the credit is all his Liu Bei's, even if Liu Pan wants to snatch it, there is no way, after Liu Pan's failure, the most vocal person in Jiangling City has obviously become Liu Bei, as long as Nanyang is occupied again, his strength will become stronger.

Occupy Jizhou, Jia Rong's life has also become busy, without him, Jizhou's officials are a big problem, if you directly send Chang'an's students to take office, according to the Xiliang Army's set, it is inevitable to make the people happy and convinced, but the geographical location of Jizhou and the frontier is different, there are more things to consider, in the case of most of the original county orders, many Chang'an officials began to go to Jizhou to take office.

As the largest businessman and family in Jizhou, the influence of the Zhen family is undoubted, and with the support of the Zhen family, Jia Rong can take a series of big moves, compared with other places under his rule, there are too many families in Jizhou, and if they rebound, it will be extremely unfavorable to the rule of the Xiliang Army.

The capture of Jizhou is mostly bloodless, so the family in the city has been completely preserved, and the set of Chang'an has too many conflicts with the family, and Jia Rong can't go up directly to kill it, the family will be finished by then, and it is estimated that the Xiliang army will be almost in Jizhou.

These families live in Jizhou, and their influence is not much worse than that of the government, and some of them have a very good reputation for building porridge sheds and helping the people during the disaster year.

"Lord, someone from the Zhen family has come to ask to see you."

Jia Rong put down the copywriting in his hand and said, "Come in." ”

"The grass people have seen the King of Liang." Zhen Yi bowed respectfully, at this time the Xiliang Army is the leading boss of Jizhou, this point, Zhen Yi saw it very clearly, after making friends with the Xiliang Army, not only can he obtain a lot of benefits, but also has a great help for the development of the Zhen family, the Xiliang Army is not as good as Yuan Shao at the beginning, only one state land, covering a vast area, the strength of the Xiliang Army, when it is the head of the world, that is, Cao Cao of the Central Plains is almost hot, and it is still very good to be able to take refuge under the command of the Xiliang Army. will be able to improve the strength of the Zhen family again.

"Don't be so polite, the Zhen family has been benevolent and benevolent, benefiting a lot of people in Jizhou, and when you see this king in the future, you don't need to give gifts." Jia Rong said with a smile.

When Zhen Yi heard these words, his heart set off a storm, Yuan Shao was also very polite to the Zhen family before, far from reaching the point of not being polite when meeting, even if the Zhen family is strong, it is also a businessman, Shinong Industry and Commerce, the status of a businessman is the lowest, and there is no change under Yuan Shao, but because of its own strength, the Zhen family has not been criticized too much, and its status in the city is not low.

"Thank you King Liang for your kindness, the grass people don't dare to be." Zhen Yi bowed.

Jia Rong waved his hand and said: "What dare not be, as long as the Zhen family can make more achievements in the future, the children of the clan can also become scholars." ”

Zhen Yi felt that his brain was a little insufficient, when Yuan Shao was there before, he had also recommended the outstanding children of the clan to Yuan Shao, but they were all rejected, people from the family wanted to enter the officialdom, it was not so easy, and Yuan Shao was also very strict at this level, so the Zhen family has been pursuing for many years is to protect himself, recently Zhen Yi is preparing to marry his daughter and Yuan Shao's son, intending to enter the officialdom of Jizhou, but he didn't expect the Xiliang Army to attack Jizhou.

"Thank you King Liang, thank you King Liang." Zhen Yi hurriedly bowed.

"Entering the officialdom is not as simple as it seems, this king's words can indeed allow the children of your clan to enter the officialdom, but what will happen in the future, it is still up to you to fight for it, presumably some of the rules of the Xiliang Army, you have also heard of them, and they are treated equally, without great merit, they can only be replaced, and the capable go up and down the weak." Jia Rong Zhengse said, this is the principle of the Xiliang Army, it cannot be changed, there is nothing to turn on a green light once in a while, once the principle is changed, it means that the Xiliang Army is not far from declining.

"What King Liang said is that the grass people understand, and the grass people understand." Zhen Yi bowed again and again, originally he wanted to donate part of his family's assets in order to gain Jia Rong's trust, but he didn't expect that not only did he not spend a penny, but the children of the clan could also be officials, Zhen Yi had struggled in the shopping mall for half his life, and he could still understand some things in the officialdom.

"Jizhou Xin family, I don't know what the head of the Zhen family thinks?" Jia Rong's tone changed, and he pulled the topic to the family in Jizhou.

Among the families in Jizhou, the Zhen family is the richest, and the Xin family is powerful, even the Xu family where Xu Yu is located cannot be compared, the Xin family has a very important position in Yuan Shao's heart, and has always been reused, and the Xin family also pays attention to the development of its own wings, under the protection of Yuan Shao, the momentum of officialdom definitely exceeds that of the Zhen family.

"The Xin family is actually a foreign family, and they are not from Jizhou, but with their outstanding achievements under Yuan Shao's account, they have developed in Jizhou, and their strength is beyond doubt, even if the Zhen family is slightly deficient compared to it." Zhen Yi pondered for a moment and said.

Jia Rong nodded slightly, the Xin family followed Yuan Shao to Jizhou, the head of the family Xin Bi originally lived in Longxi, and later took refuge under Yuan Shao's account, and played a very important role in Yuan Shao's annexation of Jizhou and the elimination of Gongsun Zan and other wars.

"I wonder if the Zhen family and the Xin family have any contacts?" Jia Rong asked.

Zhen Yi shook his head and said: "In the officialdom, the most despised is the businessman, the Xin family is also a merchant family, there are differences from other families, for many years, the two families have been innocent of Qiu. ”

"Well, this king knows, if it's okay"

Zhen Yi's face was slightly embarrassed, from beginning to end, Jia Rong was asking and talking, and there was no chance for him to ask.

"Oh, could it be that the head of the Zhen family has something to do? Although. Jia Rong saw that Zhen Yi had no intention of leaving, and he was also curious.
