Wang Wei suddenly laughed wildly, his whole body trembled with laughter, and he burst into tears from the corners of his eyes. He looked at Liu Zhang and said sadly: "Okay, you are such a cold-blooded uncle Liu Huang. Everyone in the world has misjudged you. I, Wang Wei, will take you with me."
These fellow refugees came to surrender just because they didn’t want them to die like this. You actually doubted us six times in just five sentences. Is your heart made of iron?"
After Wang Wei finished speaking, he laughed again, and suddenly collapsed to the ground, breathing became difficult. At this moment, Wang Wei suddenly burst out, and the soldiers behind Liu Zhang were startled. They were so powerful and Wang Wei
Xu stepped forward, but Wang Wei did not get up. He grabbed the short knife of a school swordsman and cut his own throat.
"Yizhou... Butcher... I, Wang Wei, wish you... to dominate the world."
After Wang Wei finished speaking word by word, he fell to the ground, his eyes wide open. Several soldiers who might be Wang Wei's personal soldiers rushed forward with all their strength. The eight-foot man couldn't help crying for a while. After crying for a while, a group suddenly gathered.
They rushed towards the school swordsmen and cut their throats to commit suicide. The dead bodies fell to pieces, and the hot blood dispersed mist in the morning wind.
Those Jingzhou soldiers turned their eyes from Liu Zhang to the dead bodies.
At this time, Yan Yan selected some generals and came forward and said to Liu Zhang: "My lord, can we recruit them?"
When Yan Yan saw Wang Wei and others committing suicide, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He just wanted to recruit the Jingzhou Army as soon as possible and give these soldiers some hot meals.
Liu Zhang quietly looked at the corpses of Wang Wei and his soldiers. After a long time, he slowly said to Yan Yan: "Forget it, there is no need to recruit them. Let Huang Zhong take these soldiers as his headquarters.
"
After Liu Zhang finished speaking, he turned around and left. Wang Wei's body lay on the ground, his eyes wide open as if looking at Liu Zhang's leaving figure.
As if he had been suppressed for a long time, Liu Zhang let out a sigh of relief after walking through the city gate, stopped and said in a deep voice to Fazheng beside him: "Xiaozhi, am I indecisive?"
If you ask this question to other people, maybe they will hear it as a sarcasm. Liu Zhang's image as a tyrant has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
But Fa Zheng, who really understood Liu Zhang, pondered for a moment and said solemnly: "My lord, my lord is righteous and walks the road. He looks thunderous on the outside, but his inner kindness is beyond the reach of any prince. Wang Wei, Wenpin and others
, although they are loyal and righteous, they are short-sighted. My lord, there is no need to care about their words."
"Huh~~~" Liu Zhang still felt his chest sinking and chuckled: "You don't have to say something nice. If you say it like this, it proves that I still have the kindness of a woman. I don't know when one day I will...
I will pay the price for it."
After Liu Zhang finished speaking, he strode forward. Fazheng stopped and looked at Liu Zhang. Although his lord was followed by a large group of personal soldiers and generals, in Fazheng's eyes there was only Liu Zhang.
This man is considered by the whole world to be a violent tyrant.
But Fazheng knew that this man was the most merciful king in the world.
If there were no family ties, the Sichuan army's conquest would have been smoother. They wouldn't have to leave so many troops to guard Yizhou, they wouldn't have to attack cities and towns one by one, they wouldn't be resisted everywhere, and I don't know how many people would surrender.
Perhaps, if there had not been the Jiangzhou massacre, Liu Biao would have surrendered with Jingbei, which was defenseless.
With the lord's grand strategy, he just wants to unify the world and realize his personal imperial hegemony, which can be said to be picking flowers from the branches.
It’s not that the lord doesn’t understand these truths, on the contrary, he understands the horror of the aristocracy better than anyone else. It’s for this reason that he awarded the Four Imperial Examinations to clear the way for poor families and common people to seek official positions, even if it’s temporary
Officials were still controlled by wealthy families. Land orders were issued to restrict land annexation by wealthy families, even though the wealthy families already occupied most of the Han family's land.
As Yizhou's number one counselor, Fazheng is actually not optimistic about Yizhou's future. Even though he is winning every victory and the situation is great, the future of Yizhou is still gloomy.
The officials were half-hearted, and the powerful families stayed dormant to capture Jingzhou. It seems now that there are not enough officials to manage it. If one day the Sichuan army is defeated or Liu Zhang falls, Fazheng can predict it. No matter how powerful Yizhou was at that time, it will be
It's a catastrophic disaster.
But even knowing this, Fazheng is still willing to follow Liu Zhang wholeheartedly. He will always remember what he said to Liu Zhang in Jiangzhou Garden, "One or nine, bet on a bright future." Only he knows that Liu Zhang is not a tyrant.
He just worked hard, ignored the eyes of passers-by, and moved forward step by step towards his ideal.
…………
Before Liu Zhang arrived at the county government, soldiers came to report urgently.
"My lord, Sun Ce from Jiangdong has finished raising food and grass. He is holding a swearing-in meeting in Wu County to pay homage to his late father Sun Jian, Sun Yi, Taishi Ci, and God of Heaven and Earth. He is preparing to go to Chaisang to join Zhou Yu on the 20th to attack us.
Jingzhou."
"We set out as soon as we leave, why are we engaging in such a big battle?" Liu Zhang turned his head and asked Fa Zheng with a smile: "You said that Sun Ce wanted to engage in such a big battle, are you trying to imitate me? He said he would attack Jingzhou in twenty days, but in fact ten
Will it arrive in five days or sooner?”
Fa Zheng smiled and said: "It is not impossible, but Fa Zheng feels that there is a high possibility that the Jiangdong Army will set off on the 20th. Sun Ce is not the lord. Sun Ce is known as the little overlord of Jiangdong and is willful. He does not like these little tricks.
Yes, maybe in Sun Bofu's heart, he just wants to worship the God of Heaven and the Mother of the Earth, to make sacrifices to the sky, and to defeat the lord with great force and dignity, not only to avenge Sun Yi Taishi Ci, but also to promote his military power in the east of the Yangtze River."
"Hahahaha." Liu Zhang laughed and said happily: "Sun Bofu is worthy of being a 'hero' in the world, but I still can't underestimate him. I immediately ordered people to step up the construction of Jiangjindu fortifications. I want to personally inspect it.
"
"I will obey my Lord's order."
"Report." Another soldier came on flying horse, dismounted and kowtowed: "Lord, good news, General Gan Ning and the Wei Yunmengze water thieves surrounded the fleet of Jingzhou Navy General Cai Zhong at the mouth of Yunmengze Lake.
Cai Zhong jumped off the ship and escaped, and all seven buildings and more than ten sailing ships were captured."
As soon as the soldier finished speaking, the generals were surprised and whispered, unable to hide their joy. There was no navy in Yizhou, and they relied on a group of water thieves from Ganning to support the scene. Now that these sails have been captured, in the eyes of these landlubbers, Yizhou has water.
The army is gone.
Moreover, Wei Wen and Gan Ning relied on those powerful speedboats to defeat the Lianlulou ship, which was undoubtedly a miracle in water warfare. These generals have always felt that Gan Ning's water thieves were not useful, and they were worried that Jingzhou had the best navy in the world.
The threat is now very encouraging.
Liu Zhang was not too touched. Of course he knew that capturing the ships did not mean having a naval force. Otherwise, Cao Cao's 830,000-strong army would have crushed Zhou Yu into powder.
But he couldn't help but be a little surprised. Gan Ning was considered a good navy general, but he was a bit reluctant to deal with the Jingzhou Louchuan navy. This battle was probably attributed to Wei Wen. Liu Zhang did not expect that Wei Wen was so capable.
That day, Wei Wen paid homage to the Yangtze River but did not surrender to him. Liu Zhang also wavered. After all, Yizhou was short of navy generals, but instead of getting an arrogant and good general, it would be better to have a mediocre general who obeys orders.
Like Wei Yan, he had military commanders, but he was arrogant and self-righteous. If he had such a person under his command, he would have to worry about it at any time.
What's more, Gan Ning's talent has not yet reached the level of mediocrity.
If Wei Wen was willing to submit to Gan Ning, it would be fine. He would have to be the naval commander to do it. Liu Zhang would not appoint such a person.
"Didn't I order Gan Ning to greet Fan Lixiang? What was he doing at Hukou? Where is Fan Lixiang now?" Liu Zhang asked in a deep voice.
