Zhao Yun was as brave as a tiger, killing dozens of tiger and leopard knights in an instant, and immediately suppressed the charge of the tiger and leopard cavalry. Even Cao Hong couldn't help but feel anxious.
He is now injured and is no match for Zhao Yun at all. Seeing Zhao Yun kill the momentum of the tiger and leopard cavalry charging, his heart suddenly became heavy.
"Cao Hong, come with your life!"
Zhao Yun took the lead and saw Cao Hong in front of him, he immediately roared, flew over the spear in his hand, and rushed straight towards Cao Hong.
The dozens of soldiers who stood in front of Cao Hong were all picked up by spears.
"Hmph! Be arrogant!"
Cao Hong snorted coldly, cut off the long arrow that pierced his chest with a sword, and rushed towards Zhao Yun with a muffled groan.
Dangdangdangdang………
The spear was like a dancing electric snake, and the move was fatal, and the two fought for a while without a chance.
"Phoenix nodded seven times!"
Zhao Yun, who was fighting fiercely, suddenly used a killing move and picked up the long sword in Cao Hong's hand. The next moment, the spear hit Cao Hong's throat.
"General!"
"Let go of the general!"
Seeing Cao Hong being arrested, a famous tiger and leopard knight exclaimed and stared at Zhao Yun fiercely.
"Cao Hong, you are willing to surrender!" Zhao Yun was unmoved and looked at Cao Hong and said in a deep voice.
"Haha......Surrender? Only Cao Hong died in battle, and Cao Hong who surrendered."
Cao Hong suddenly burst into laughter, and rushed towards Zhao Yun with a long sword in his hand, clearly abandoning life and death.
Seeing Cao Hong's reaction, Zhao Yun sighed in his heart, and suddenly thrust the spear in his hand, which immediately pierced Cao Hong's throat. A generation of famous generals died in the battlefield.
"Take the corpse down!" Zhao Yun ordered behind him.
"No." Several soldiers stepped forward to carry Cao Hong's body away.
The tiger and leopard knights in front seemed to be afraid that the next fierce battle would damage Cao Hong's body, and they all remained silent.
kill!
After seeing Cao Hong's body being transported away, the tiger and leopard knights rushed towards Zhao Yun without any scruples.
On the top of the city tower, Zhang He and Fa Zheng stood side by side, and Fa Zheng sighed.
"It's considered a death to the battlefield." Zhang He sighed slightly, but then he didn't care at all. He had seen many generals die on the battlefield for more than ten years of war, and now it's commonplace.
"Cao Hong died. After today, this Liangzhou land has been under our Jingzhou. The lord has occupied three continents and can shake the barbarians in the south, can conquer Sun Ce in the west, and can see the tigers in the north, and can see the states and counties in the north. This is a sign of hegemony."
Fa Zheng smiled slightly, being able to witness the rise of Jingzhou can also be regarded as an anecdote for opinions.
"Yes, occupy Liangzhou, and the last shortcoming of the lord's lord was also made up. It only takes a few years of development. Yongzhou and Sili can all be captured. When Cao Cao is defeated, who else in the world will be his lord's opponent.
. ""
Zhang He nodded. Although the Liangzhou area is remote, it is well connected with all kinds of horses, which is just right for Liu Qi to expand his cavalry.
Jingzhou, Yizhou, Liangzhou can be said that the entire southwest half of the country has fallen into Liu Qi's hands. Although Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, his power has increased sharply, Jingzhou happened to encircle the prefectures and counties under Cao Cao's command, and the whale swallowing power has been completed until the opportunity.
It is not impossible to maturely annex Cao Cao.
The fierce battle lasted for half an hour before it ended. The tiger and leopard cavalry still fought and were still fighting, but were still wiped out.
During the period when Fa Zheng and others went to war, Jingzhou also underwent earth-shaking changes. With Xiangyang and Wancheng and other several other buildings becoming the center, wide official roads were renovated.
Originally, the official road near Xiangyang City could only allow two carriages to drive side by side. As for other slightly remote places, carriages were almost impossible to move.
However, the official road that has just been rested can allow four carriages to drive in parallel, and as for remote counties, two carriages can also allow two carriages to drive in parallel.
In the entire Jingzhou County, you can see increasingly shaped roads everywhere, and those who built the streets were idle old farmers and retired soldiers.
These people are idle at home all day long, and there is nothing else to do except cultivate a few acres of thin fields. Now, under the temptation of generous rewards, they all take the initiative to build every section of the road.
Of course, these places are almost all expanded and rested on the original official road, and there is no need to be too tired.
The cost of building the official road is paid directly by the government. Although many aristocratic families participated, these aristocratic families could not interfere before the road was built.
At the same time, under the governance of Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Xu Shu and others, policies were issued one by one, and the entire Jingzhou was a new one.
Although the reform has not been as intense as it has been, I will not give in too much.
With the implementation of one political decree after another, few people have noticed Liu Bei, who was appointed as the county magistrate by Liu Qi.
Although Liu Bei worked diligently during his tenure as county magistrate, almost all government orders did not need to be promulgated by Liu Bei, and everyone also faintly forgot Liu Bei who was in a remote place.
"Lord, Kong Ming has heard news a few days ago that he will defeat Meng Huo of the Southern Barbarians. He will not need to worry about the invasion of the Southern Barbarians for a few years." Xu Shu said with a smile in Liu Qi's mansion.
"Yes, Meng Huo of the Southern Barbarians had already sent a letter of surrender and hundreds of thousands of gold and silver a few days ago. Promising that he would never be an enemy of the lord within five years." Jia Xu also nodded and said yes.
"Meng Huo is aware of the current affairs, but Jingzhou cannot draw too many troops to deal with him now. Let's agree to him for the time being." Liu Qi nodded and looked at the people in the room.
Xu Shu is still elegant, gentle and elegant, and looks close to him. He is also the first to join him. It can be said that Liu Qi can achieve what he has achieved today. Xu Shu has made great contributions, but he never takes credit for himself, but instead becomes more and more gentle in character.
The skill of self-cultivation and character cultivation is unparalleled among several people.
Jia Xu and Pang Tong have made outstanding contributions over the years, and their official positions are not high now. Being able to use them for him is entirely because they value his future.
Although some recent decrees seem a bit urgent, he has to do so. In order to improve these decrees, Xu Shu and the other two worked day and night. They were able to work hard and mobilize many troops and be accepted by their aristocratic families. Several of them could be considered as being stalked.
Brain, try to satisfy the interests of all parties.
It was not that Liu Qi was impatient, but that he had to do so. Although the various parties were fighting continuously, the situation was becoming clearer and clearer, and Cao Cao and Sun Ce's power was becoming stronger and stronger. The battle between Jingzhou and the two sides could not be completed overnight.
Although he is now occupying Jingzhou and Yizhou, he is still a little short of what he wants to do with Liangzhou, and if he does not lay the foundation as soon as possible, he will definitely be surpassed by Cao Cao in a few years.
Just as Liu Qi was thinking, the rapid footsteps suddenly rang out.
"Lord, good news from Liangzhou!"
"Pick it in." Liu Qi shouted outside the door.
"No." Wei Yan walked in excitedly with a piece of bamboo slip.
"Lord, Dasheng, Han Sui, Ma Teng died, the entire Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was wiped out, Cao Hong was beheaded, and the entire Liangzhou had been occupied." As soon as he walked into the study, Wei Yan said excitedly.
"What?" Several people in the study also exclaimed, looking at Wei Yan in surprise.
Pang Tong even stepped forward and snatched the bamboo slips from Wei Yan's hand, and then laughed: "Haha, it's true, the lord is very happy."
As he said that, Pang Tong handed the bamboo slips in his hand to Liu Qi.
After reading the bamboo slips, Liu Qi was also surprised once. It was already his greatest luxury to defeat the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, but he didn't expect that he could wipe out the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.
"Okay, okay, okay."
Liu Qi said three good words in a row, and obviously he was particularly rampant. Since Liangzhou was under Jingzhou's command, the power of Jingzhou would definitely reach another level.
Moreover, as stated in the bamboo slips, Ma Chao, Ma Dai and others have also surrendered to Jingzhou, and this expedition can be regarded as a perfect merit.
The bamboo slips were passed to Xu Shu, but Xu Shu frowned.
"Yuan Zhi, what's wrong?" Liu Qi looked at Xu Shu. Everyone present looked excited, but Xu Shu's interest was lacking.
"Lord, this matter is very inappropriate." Xu Shu said with a deeper frown.
At this time, everyone also looked at Xu Shu, and with Xu Shu's talent, they would not be aimless.
"Lord, Cao Hong is Cao Cao's confidant general, and he is the same clan of Cao Cao. He has a very high status in Cao Cao's heart. In addition, 20,000 tiger and leopard cavalry were wiped out. If this time, Cao Cao would make up his mind to fight Jingzhou to fight the lord.
It's extremely unfavorable." Xu Shu shook his head and said.
The development of Jingzhou's power has long attracted Cao Cao's fear. Now he has wiped out 20,000 tiger and leopard cavalry. If he were Cao Cao, he would never let Jingzhou be the leader.
"Cao Cao just defeated Yuan Shao. Although his reputation has increased greatly, his power has not improved much. Will he attack Jingzhou at this time?" Although he said so, Pang Tong's words revealed a strong sense of suspicion.
"Although Cao Cao had just defeated Yuan Shao, Jizhou was no longer a concern at this time. There were many people under Cao Cao who were accustomed to fighting, with many soldiers and a wide range of generals. If he was determined to be an enemy of Jingzhou, he only needed to send some troops to restrain Jingzhou with some horses.
, and then continue to develop. In less than a few years, Jingzhou will definitely be dragged down by him. By then, Jingzhou will be the thing in Cao Cao's pocket." Xu Shu said with a serious expression.
"I understand, I ordered Zhao Yun to send someone to give Cao Hong's body to Cao Cao." Liu Qi pondered for a moment.
"Lord, this..." Pang Tong was stunned. Didn't Liu Qi's actions anger Cao Cao?
"No matter what, Jingzhou is indeed developing too fast, which has long attracted Cao Cao's fear. If there is any weakness at this time, it will only strengthen Cao Cao's determination to attack Jingzhou. Since this is not as good as being stronger, Cao Cao will be more concerned."
Liu Qi shook his head and said, "Tomorrow, I will send someone to Wujun and say that I will join forces with Sun Ce to attack Cao Cao."
"promise."
All of them were extremely mentally conscious, and they immediately understood Liu Qi's plan. At this time, only by letting Cao Cao understand that the outcome of the battle to attack Jingzhou was unpredictable, and he still had a great chance of defeat, which would make Cao Cao hesitate.
"The order Zhang He and Xiaozhi don't have to worry too much about rewarding the three armies." Liu Qi said.
"promise."
"Wei Yan, hurry up and train the soldiers in Jingzhou, and do not slack off at all." Liu Qi looked at Wei Yan again and said.
