After receiving Liu Qi's order, Jia Xu found the opportunity in just three days based on the information from Jin Yiwei, and captured Cai Mao and more than ten people who were meeting in one fell swoop. No one who participated in the rebellion slipped through the net. No one was caught.
When the news came out, until all these ten people were taken down, the entire Xiangyang City's aristocratic families had not received any news.
Jia Xu was like a lone wolf hiding in the darkness. He showed his cold fangs without hesitation at the right time. His ruthless and cruel methods made Yang Ling, who was ordered to follow Jia Xu, feel chilled.
Xiangyang City also became eerily calm.
Cai Mao and others did not expect that Liu Qi would take action at this time, nor did they expect that their plans would be exposed to Liu Qi's eyes. For the sake of confidentiality, the more than ten people did not bring many people with them to this meeting.
Therefore, he was captured alive without any resistance under the siege of Jin Yiwei.
Jia Xu did not show any mercy, and immediately captured all these more than ten aristocratic families in the name of curfew. In less than half an hour, all the people in Xiangyang City who were related to the rebellion were captured by Jia Xu, who resisted
The man was executed on the spot and his blood spattered three feet.
It was only then that Jia Xu's actions alerted the aristocratic families in Xiangyang City. However, when they received the news, the mansions of more than ten families had been surrounded by Jia Xu's flying tiger army, and flying tigers were scattered on the streets.
Tiger Soldiers, these aristocratic families could only watch helplessly as the Cai family, which was once so powerful in Xiangyang, and the aristocratic families involved with the Cai family were wiped out.
The resisters were all killed, while the others were taken to a prison in Xiangyang. However, when they were taken to the prison, of the nearly 1,000 people from more than ten aristocratic families, there were only less than a hundred people left.
, except for people with some status from more than a dozen families, everyone from the elderly to the newborn children were executed. Jia Xu's bloody methods once again shocked the entire Xiangyang City.
No one expected that Liu Qi would hand over such an important matter to a counselor who had just surrendered, and no one expected that Jia Xu’s methods would be so vicious. Nearly a thousand people, including the elderly and children, were executed. Jia Xu’s
The evil name immediately spread throughout Xiangyang.
Liu Qi did not blame Jia Xu for his methods. At this time, the news from all over Jingzhou had reached the hands of the major families. The entire Xiangyang family was more or less concerned. Jia Xu's actions could deter those families with dissident intentions.
, and only in this way can the stability of Xiangyang City be maintained for a period of time.
Liu Qi only paid attention to the news about Jia Xu. After that, Liu Qi turned his attention to the troops and horses controlled by these more than ten families. These troops and horses were what Liu Qi was most concerned about.
Just when Jia Xu executed nearly a thousand people from more than a dozen families, Liu Qi ordered Wang Wei and Wang Yi to lead the Feihu Army to subdue the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, 40,000 soldiers and horses, and 20,000 naval troops. Liu Qi was unwilling to let go.
Among the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, Cai Hao and others must have deployed a lot of people. If they knew that Cai Hao and others were killed, they would definitely take the opportunity to rebel. Liu Qi did this to kill these soldiers before they could react.
The horse is under control.
In the whole of Xiangyang, only Wang Wei and Wenpin could suppress it. Wang Wei brought nearly 10,000 flying tiger troops with him, which greatly reduced the number of troops in Xiangyang City. If Liu Qi hadn't brought the thousands of soldiers he had just trained,
If the horses are transferred into the city, I am afraid that someone in Xiangyang City will take the opportunity to rebel.
The city gate was opened, and an army of 10,000 people rushed out of the city under the leadership of Wang Wei and his son. The 40,000 soldiers and horses outside the city, at the signal of Cai Mao and others, had already moved towards Xiangyang City, ready to mobilize at any time.
At this time, these 40,000 soldiers and horses were only thirty miles away from Xiangyang. Wang Wei led the Flying Tiger Army and ran non-stop for thirty miles. When they arrived outside the military camp, Wang Wei didn't even let anyone know and rushed in with the Flying Tiger Army.
Camp. The 40,000-strong army was surrounded by the Flying Tiger Army before they could react. However, Wang Wei led a thousand Flying Tiger Army into the Chinese army's tent and killed Cai Zhong in the tent on the spot.
After killing Cai Zhong, the 40,000-strong army suddenly became leaderless. When Wang Wei summoned the army to announce that Cai Mao had rebelled and was executed, the 40,000-strong army suddenly became leaderless. Most of these soldiers came from Jingzhou. In recent years, Jingzhou
There were very few battles, Liu Biao's prestige in Jingzhou was unmatched, and Liu Qi was in the spotlight recently, which made these soldiers feel proud.
At this time, when they heard that Cai Mao had conspired to rebel, they immediately stood up to separate themselves from Cai Mao. Although some people stood up to speak for Cai Mao, after being killed by Wang Wei with thunderous means, those who were lucky enough to think about it immediately put their thoughts away.
Wang Wei left Wang Yi and a thousand soldiers and horses to let Wang Yi eliminate the spies in the army. Then he immediately rushed to the river with the remaining soldiers and horses. Twenty thousand naval troops were controlled by Wang Wei in the same way.
Although hundreds of soldiers took advantage of the chaos and drove the boat away, the boat disappeared into the night after a short time downstream. Although Wang Wei was angry, he had no intention of sending anyone to pursue it at this time.
After taking control of the navy, Wang Wei immediately captured the men deployed by Cai Mao and others among the navy and sent them to Xiangyang to be handled by Liu Qi. At the same time, he took command of the water and ordered the Feihu Army to return to Xiangyang immediately to help Liu Qi guard Xiangyang.
The sky was getting brighter, and people in Xiangyang City went out to check. Although Jia Xu's movements last night were very fast, after all, there were more than ten aristocratic families, and no less than thirty families were involved. Therefore, what happened last night had already alarmed everyone in the city.
common people.
At the same time, those aristocratic families that were not involved breathed a sigh of relief and also sent out personnel to investigate. Nearly thirty aristocratic families were uprooted in one night. These aristocratic families had long been frightened and did not dare to do what they did before.
Act wantonly.
Just when various aristocratic families sent people to inquire about the news, a notice was posted outside the Prefectural Mufu Mansion. The content of the notice was extremely concise. The few sentences only stated that Cai Mao and others had rebelled and were executed. The notice was unclear, except that it was captured
Except for the aristocratic family, everyone else is a little confused.
The families mentioned in the notice are all powerful families in Xiangyang. The children of these families are used to being domineering in Xiangyang City, and now they are suddenly exterminated, which makes everyone else feel like they are dreaming.
The thoughtful families in Xiangyang City were all shocked when they saw the notice. They had more or less heard about the affairs of Cai Mao and others, and some families were even persuaded by Cao Cao's envoys.
, while the other part planned to sit back and watch the tiger fight, but unexpectedly Liu Qi suddenly launched an attack and killed Cai Mao and others in one fell swoop. This made these families feel happy and at the same time, they no longer dared to make any changes.
"Lord, all the rebels have been killed. In addition to those who were killed, there are still 113 people in prison. These people are all prominent figures in more than ten aristocratic families. I don't know.
What should I do with my lord?" After Jia Xu finished handling the affairs of these aristocratic families, he immediately rushed to Liu Qi's house to report to Liu Qi.
"Haha, leave one person from each family to be sent to Xudu, so that the world can see the consequences of having an affair with Cao Cao. As for who to keep, you decide." Liu Qi thought for a while and said.
"No." Jia Xu's heart trembled. He knew what Liu Qi meant. The few people left behind could never pose any threat to Jingzhou, and at the same time, he wanted Cao Cao to make things difficult for these people. You must know that if Cao Cao accepts these people, he will
It is equivalent to admitting to the world that Cao Cao is behind this matter. If he does not accept it, from now on, there will be no aristocratic family in the world who dares to believe Cao Cao's words.
These aristocratic families were ruined by Cao Cao's instigation. If Cao Cao ignored them, it would be a breach of trust. How could other aristocratic families not care? No one knows whether they will be the next abandoned sons abandoned by Cao Cao.
Just as the two of them were talking, a Flying Tiger Guard bowed outside the door and said, "I would like to inform you that General Zhennan has sent you a letter."
"Oh, bring it in." Liu Qi was a little surprised that Liu Biao could have anything to do with him at this time.
When I was young, I saw a soldier coming in with a bamboo slip in his hand. When he saw Liu Qi, he bowed to Liu Qi and handed the bamboo slip in his hand.
Liu Qi took the bamboo slip and opened it. He was a little surprised by the content on the bamboo slip. This was not a letter to him, but a memorial to the emperor. Liu Biao wrote on the memorial that he would be the pastor of Jingzhou and the general of Zhennan.
He gave up his position to Liu Qi, and at the same time gave up his position as Marquis of Wu to Liu Cong.
"Wen He, let's take a look." Liu Qi handed the bamboo slip to Jia Xu. Liu Biao had already explained what he meant. Liu Qi just didn't expect this thing to happen so quickly, which made him a little overwhelmed for a moment.
"Congratulations, lord, your lord has risen from now on." Jia Xu took the bamboo slip and was overjoyed after reading it. He had no choice but to seek refuge with Liu Qi. Although he was a little dissatisfied with Liu Qi, he also knew Liu Qi's abilities. He was now with Liu Qi.
One glory and another glory. Now Liu Qi will become the shepherd of Jingzhou and take over all the power in Jingzhou. How can he be unhappy?
"What do Wen He think we should do?" Liu Qi smiled and looked at Jia Xu. Yesterday, Jia Xu massacred nearly a thousand people. It can be said that he signed a declaration of surrender. Now the two are tied together.
"My lord, you might as well send this memorial to Xudu together with the people my lord mentioned just now. I think Cao Cao's face will be very exciting when he sees the situation he has brought about." Jia Xu burst out laughing.
"Haha, since you said so, just wait a few days until Jiangxia and Wuling return the news before sending it to Xudu." Liu Qi suddenly laughed and said, Cao Cao did this to suppress him, but he didn't expect that there was a strange combination of circumstances.
The mistake actually allowed him to completely control Jingzhou, and Cao Cao would definitely not feel good about it.
"Haha, my lord is wise." Jia Xu was stunned for a moment, then he laughed when he understood what Liu Qi meant.
