In Xiangyang, since Liu Qi uprooted Cai Mao and others and their families, the situation in Xiangyang City has changed dramatically.
Cai Mao’s more than ten families and the families involved behind him were more than 30 families of all sizes. After these families were removed, the power of Xiangyang City suddenly became blank.
There are thirty aristocratic families. Even if these aristocratic families are small, they can always control some of their wealth and power. Now they have been uprooted by Liu Qi. I don’t know how many aristocratic families are staring at these locations, but they are taken by
Liu Qi's toughness, even the big families in Xiangyang City dare not easily divide it up.
Therefore, early in the morning after Cai Mao and others were executed, families of all sizes in Xiangyang City sent people to Liu Qi's mansion, hoping that Liu Qi could share some of their benefits. Some families went to Yiji's mansion and hoped that Yiji would like to hope that Yiji would
He was able to speak on behalf of others, and some families went to Kuai's mansion to hope that Kuai Yue could come forward to fight for the major families.
The wishes of these families were not realized in the end. Both Yiji and Kuai Yue knew Liu Qi very well. The final decision-making power of this matter could only be Liu Qi himself, and no one except Liu Qi could get involved. Moreover, Kuai Yue and others knew very well.
Liu Qi's temper. These families were unwilling to support Liu Qi in the past, and even opposed Liu Qi. Now, in the face of huge benefits, I hope Liu Qi will give them some. Wouldn't it be a daydream?
Sure enough, three days later, most of the huge cake was scattered by Liu Qi. The interests of these thirty aristocratic families were divided into fifty or even more by Liu Qi, and they were distributed to the families in Xiangyang City. All of these families had thousands of them with Liu Qi.
The inextricable relationship or the fact that it has long defected to Liu Qi's family.
Although it was divided into fifty points, each of the benefits was still extremely huge, making the families in Xiangyang City jealous. After a day, all the families in Xiangyang City turned their attention to the remaining benefits in Liu Qi's hands.
Even some families that only step into the threshold of aristocratic families are no exception. As long as they can get such benefits, their own family will immediately become one of the most numerous families in Xiangyang City.
However, anyone can see that the benefits in Liu Qi's hands will never be easily distributed to others. In order to leave a good impression on Liu Qi, these families expressed their full support for Liu Qi, and did not dare to disobey the orders given by Liu Qi at all.
After some bangs, the aristocratic families in Xiangyang City no longer dared to violate Liu Qi's orders, or even dared to have evil intentions.
Among the families that divided the interests this time, Liu Qi took special care of some families, especially the families who followed Liu Qi in the early days, such as the Ma family, Zhao family, Lu family and other small families. These small families were originally
Their strength is not strong, but they have also developed one after receiving the support of Liu Qi.
In order to make up for Qiao Gong's losses in Jiangdong, Liu Qi also distributed part of the benefits to Qiao Gong. Although it was a bit insignificant for Qiao Gong before, it also made Qiao Gong feel relieved.
It seems that these interests were divided into dozens, but only Liu Qi himself knew that these interests were divided into hundreds. Ten of the thirty aristocratic families were considered large clans in Xiangyang. How could Liu Qi keep such a big force?
For other aristocratic families, Liu Qi never believed these aristocratic families. How could Liu Qi let these aristocratic families increase their strength again and threaten them? Therefore, Liu Qi divided these interests into small parts as much as possible and spread them to support some more small ones.
Family, although these small families have greatly increased their strength after being sponsored, they do not pose any threat to Liu Qi, so that Liu Qi can control Jingzhou.
Originally, Liu Qi wanted to leave a benefit to the Kuai clan, but Kuai Yue immediately rejected Liu Qi's kindness when he saw Cai Mao's lesson. Not only that, Kuai Yue also took the initiative to hand over the troops controlled by the Kuai clan to the
Liu Qi.
Now Xiangyang is Liu Qi's world. Even the Kuai clan controls these troops and horses, it is useless. Instead, it will arouse Liu Qi's suspicion. Therefore, after Kuai Yue discussed with his brother, he controlled the Kuai clan and his affiliated families.
The soldiers and horses were handed over, and there were a total of ten thousand soldiers and horses.
Kuai Yue was appointed as the prefect of Zhangling. Although Zhangling was only composed of part of Nanyang County and Nan County, he was not strong. However, he also had 10,000 soldiers and horses. Liu Qi's strength increased greatly after obtaining 10,000 soldiers from the Kuai clan.
, and he is more confident in rebellions in Jingzhou.
Liu Qi did not remove them from the army as a member of the Kuai clan in the army, but Liu Qi arranged for Wang Yi to train these 10,000 soldiers and horses. After screening them, only 7,000 qualified soldiers were left. As for Kuai
There are even fewer tribe members that can be left behind by the clan clan.
Under Wang Wei's charge, the 20,000 navy troops were completely rectified, from the deputy generals to the young soldiers, all of whom were screened, and everyone related to the Cai clan was removed, and Liu Qi asked to stay.
The elite soldiers, so there were only less than 15,000 navy soldiers left.
Later, Liu Qi screened the 30,000 naval troops under Liu Biao, and just made up 40,000 naval troops. Although the number of people decreased sharply, the power of the naval troops suddenly increased and was no longer as lazy as before.
All the 40,000 naval troops in Jingzhou fell into the hands of Liu Qi and were controlled by Liu Qi.
The 40,000 naval army was divided into four battalions by Liu Qi, and each 10,000 people were one battalion. However, the new commander of the navy was never decided. Originally, Liu Qi wanted Gan Ning to serve as the commander of the navy, and Gan Ning's eight hundred Jinfan thieves
In the early days, they were all naval troops, but then they were changed to cavalry. Now, no one in Jingzhou is suitable for commanding the navy except Gan Ning. However, Gan Ning is also guarding against Cao Ren and Cao Hong in Wancheng, so Liu Qi has not decided for a long time.
Zhang Xiu, who was sent to Wuling County, also had frequent news of good news. Zhang Xiu is worthy of being an expert in leading troops. When he arrived in Wuling County, he did not rush to fight against Shamoke and others, but instead retreated while integrating his troops under his command.
The horses and horses under Zhang Xiu were not only defeated by the counties of Wuling County, but also the five thousand reinforced by Lingling County and Changsha County. It was in chaos. It took Zhang Xiu five days to roughly scheming these soldiers.
control.
During these five days, Shamoke and others' troops continued to force the majority of Wuling County. At this moment, Zhang Xiu, who had been retreating, suddenly attacked and severely injured Shamoke and betrayed Gong.
Zhi and others were killed on the spot, and Shamoko was seriously injured and fled in a panic with his subordinates.
After severely attacking Shamoke, Zhang Xiu recovered Wuling with thunder. Without the Wuxi barbarians led by Shamoke, they were not Zhang Xiu's one-gathering generals. In just a few days, Wuling County was recaptured by Zhang Xiu.
However, Shamoke survived by fleeing into the mountains with the remaining Wuxi barbarians.
Zhang Xiu, who was beaten by Liu Qi, was extremely honest and did not have any unfair intentions because he controlled Wuling. After warning from Liu Qi and Jia Xu, Zhang Xiu no longer dared to have any luck.
Wuling County gradually calmed down under Zhang Xiu's shock. Although Wuling County suffered heavy losses, it finally stabilized.
The situation in Xiangyang was pacified, and the Wuxi barbarians in Wuling County could no longer make any waves. At this time, Liu Qi turned his attention to Jiangdong. This time, Liu Qi was preparing to teach Jiangdong a lesson so that Jiangdong would never dare to invade Jingzhou easily again. Although he knew this
It was not the time to be calculating with Jiangdong, but Jiangdong was so aggressive that he did not destroy Jiangdong's ambitions. How could Liu Qi develop Jingzhou with peace of mind and realize his plan? Therefore, after receiving Zhang Xiu's stabilization of Wuling County
Liu Qi began to prepare for the Jiangxia matters.
This time, Liu Qi not only wanted to ask 40,000 navy troops to send troops to Jiangxia, but also asked the Flying Tiger Army to send troops to Jiangxia. The six thousand soldiers and horses trained by Wang Yi can be used in use at this time, and the subsequent seven thousand soldiers and horses are also being trained.
Among them, these troops were enough to guard Xiangyang. The most important thing was that the Flying Tiger Army had not been dispatched for a long time, but this time Wang Wei personally went to Liu Qi's mansion to request troops.
The two elite Jingzhou forces of the Flying Dragon Army and the Flying Tiger Army joined forces, and Liu Qi believes that even the 100,000 troops in Jiangdong could not resist it.
However, Liu Qi did not let the Flying Tiger Army and the 40,000 navy troops set off. Liu Qi was waiting for someone, that is Gan Ning. Although the 40,000 navy troops have been screened, there is no top commander, and the combat effectiveness of the navy will be greatly weakened.
.So a few days ago, Liu Qi sent someone to Wancheng to transfer Gan Ning back secretly. As for Wei Yan and Pang Tong in Wancheng, nothing would be impossible.
In just a few days, the methods demonstrated by Liu Qi made Liu Biao and Xin Pi, who had worked hard for more than ten years, feel a little scared. The situation in Jingzhou is so serious, with strong enemies outside and troubles inside, but Liu Qi did not have any difficulties in dealing with it.
, clear and extraordinary methods, Liu Biao was truly at ease to hand over Jingzhou to Liu Qi, and he and Xin Pi no longer paid attention to the affairs of Jingzhou.
Liu Biao's actions were also deeply touched. He did not expect that Liu Biao, who had always had a disagreement with him, would be relieved that he controlled Jingzhou. Even Liu Biao, who controlled the 40,000 naval forces, did not say anything. Seeing Liu Biao like this, Liu Qi was completely clear
Rest assured.
However, he did not disappoint Liu Biao. The day after Liu Biao announced that he would ignore the affairs of Jingzhou, Liu Qi introduced Liu Cong to Pang Degong as his disciple, and Liu Cong's mother, Mrs. Cai, did not make any difficulties but was imprisoned.
When interacting with external contacts, you can only have the opportunity to meet Liu Cong twice a month.
At the same time, Liu Qi also introduced Ma Su to Sima Hui and asked Sima Hui to teach Ma Su. Ma Su's appreciation of Sima Hui, who was intelligent and understanding, and Liu Qi's recommendation, Sima Hui could only agree to accept Ma Su to teach him for his disciples.
Military strategy.
After everything was arranged, Liu Qi ordered the Flying Tiger Army and the Navy to send troops to Jiangxia. Gan Ning, who was appointed as the commander of the Navy by Liu Qi, finally rushed back to Xiangyang.
