Chapter 441: Not even a single horse leg was left for her
The soldier apologized, "I was late."
Cao Cao: "Have the two sides already started fighting?"
Soldier: "No, the battle is over. I didn't see Liu Biao himself, but I saw a new stone tomb in the wilderness of Jingzhou with Liu Biao's name written on it.
Two banners several meters long were hung high on the wall of Jingzhou city, with huge characters reading: The Jingzhou army ambushed and killed loyal and good people, and the Chang'an army acted on behalf of heaven.
I asked around in the city and found out that Jingzhou changed hands overnight. Luo Jiu attacked Jingzhou at night in the name of revenge for Sun Jian. 40,000 soldiers from Chang'an entered the city in mourning, and their fighting power was amazing. Liu Biao's 100,000 naval forces and 50,000 infantrymen resisted for less than two hours before they were captured. "
Cao Cao's eyes went dark, and Cheng Yu quickly helped him to the couch to rest, "My lord, please don't be angry."
Cao Cao paused for a moment before asking, "So, she conquered Sun Ce's Jiangdong Army, gathered 40,000 soldiers and easily took Jingzhou?"
The soldier said, "It should be. I counted the flags of the generals on the Jingzhou city wall. In addition to Feng, Fu, Dian, and Xu, there are indeed flags of the Sun family. Not only Sun Ce, but also the flags of the old Jiangdong generals Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Zu Mao are also there. They should not leave and have returned to the Chang'an army. Oh, and there are Yan Liang and Wen Chou, who are now under Luo Jiu's command.
After Luo Jiu entered the city, she did not massacre the people, and was very lenient to Liu Biao's old ministers. She only killed those who jumped out to oppose her, and did not implicate their families.
It is said that some of Liu Biao's advisers also surrendered to her, including one named Zhuge Xuan. Luo Jiu liked one of Zhuge Xuan's nephews very much, whose name seemed to be Zhuge Liang. She had adopted him as her adopted son and raised him in the mansion with Sun Quan.
A free school was set up in Jingzhou City, where children aged seven to fifteen, regardless of gender, could go to school. If a girl went to school, her family could get a 10% tax reduction.
Jingzhou City now has about 200,000 elite soldiers and many brave generals. The government is stable and the people are harmonious, which is quite popular.
All of this was written in the Chang'an Daily. Luo Jiu designated this newspaper as a must-read for officials and nobles in Jingzhou. It was hard to find a copy on the street. I raised the price to two taels of silver before I finally bought one. I brought it back specially for my lord to see. "
As the soldier spoke, he took out a cloth bag from his arms and opened it layer by layer. Inside was a carefully folded quarter-size newspaper.
Cao Cao was so angry after hearing what he had just heard that he almost fainted. At this moment, he stood up from the couch, snatched the newspaper and read it carefully.
This newspaper is truly a collection of Chang'an military announcements, Luo Jiu's personal charm display, world situation analysis, farming guidance, and gossip and secrets of the princes.
Cao Cao was dismissive when he saw Cai Yong describe how brave and skilled the Chang'an army was. Cao Cao was noncommittal when he saw Cai Wenji describe how much Luo Jiu valued talent.
Seeing that Yuan Shao was described as incompetent and had the bad idea of inviting Dong Zhuo to the capital, Cao Cao laughed out loud, "Great scolding! This newspaper should be sent to Yuan Shao and let his subordinates read it."
But he couldn't laugh the next second because he saw a piece of news from the famous strategist Chen Gong.
Chen Gong said that he had saved a righteous man who was trying to assassinate Dong Zhuo, and he wanted to follow him, but why did he switch to the mistress? Because he found that this man was ruthless and suspicious.
In the column of interesting anecdotes about princes, Chen Gong revealed that "a certain righteous man" almost killed Lü Bushe's family, and attached that man's famous saying, "I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me." Although he did not name anyone, there were not many people who assassinated Dong Zhuo, only Cao Cao, so it was no different from naming him.
Cao Cao was so angry that he smashed the tea bowl beside him and said, "Chen Gong, you bastard! How dare you insult me!"
Cao Cao didn't realize what was going on and fell on the couch with a thud, fainting.
The soldier was so scared that he immediately went to call a doctor. Cheng Yu sprayed water on Cao Cao and pinched his Ren Zhong point, and Cao Cao finally woke up.
He closed his eyes and said weakly: "Go, send someone to inform Wei Yu immediately to bring back my three thousand cavalrymen, and don't leave her a single horse leg..."
Less than half an hour after he finished saying this, Wei Yu sent someone to deliver a letter back.
Cao Cao was lying on the couch listening to Cheng Yu reading the letter. When Wei Yu left, Cao Cao told him to bring back as many people as possible if Luo Jiu was defeated. As a result, Luo Jiu never lost, so he followed the Chang'an army to fight Yuan Shao and Liu Biao.
After Luo Jiu entered Jingzhou, he dispersed the 3,000 cavalry and organized them into different groups. Now Wei Yu's group was the army of Jiangdong, and he couldn't even summon the original 3,000 Cao soldiers. So he wrote a letter to Cao Cao to see if he had any instructions.
Cao Cao was originally just anxious and had a bit of high blood pressure, but after hearing this letter, he immediately had a splitting headache.
Cheng Yu hurriedly said, "My Lord, don't worry. Wei Yu said in the letter that Luo Jiu's father died suddenly. She is not in Jingzhou now. She went home to attend the funeral. Why don't we take advantage of the opportunity to attack and seize Jingzhou while her foundation is not yet stable?"
Cao Cao put his hands on his head, frowning, "If I seize Jingzhou, I will not leave even if my whole family is slaughtered. Why would Luo Jiu leave the territory he just acquired just to attend a funeral? I am not suspicious, this must be a trick."
In fact, this was not really a plan. After Luo Jiu entered Jingzhou, he found that the main system had finally been upgraded.
After the upgrade, in addition to doubling the space as usual, a huge amount of compensation was also given. The compensation included: 1. doubling the original space for storing materials; 2. increasing the number of passengers to 100; 3. adding a one-way transmission function.
First, it means that all their supplies will double, including daily necessities, weapons, medicines, instruments, gold jewelry, antique jewelry, etc.
Second, it means that there is enough space to hide a team, or in other words, next time I go back, I can take a team with me.
Third, Zhong Jialing jokingly called it a God-like power, that they could now send anyone to the end of the world at will. Of course, once they were sent there, they couldn't come back, it was a one-way ticket.
Luo Jiu thought that the political affairs and military affairs of Jingzhou had been sorted out, and the policies in various aspects were being implemented in an orderly manner by Xun Yu and others. They should take advantage of this gap to quickly revise the other three masterpieces.
But this involves a problem. Once they leave, the plot will quickly move forward without their knowledge. Coming back is like opening a blind box, and the story will move on from where they left.
Luo Jiu thought, this definitely won't work. If the commander is away for a long time, it's easy for him to rebel, not to mention whether others will come to attack. Especially the composition of the Chang'an army is relatively complicated, so we have to be on guard. So Luo Jiu suggested, "Let's leave one person here to block the plot, and the others will follow me to run the plots of the other three books."
If one person stays, the plot won't skip. If anything happens, you can use the notebook in the space to keep in touch at any time.
Feng Qi: "Then the question is, who is left here?"
Fu Bao pleaded: "I, during your absence, will definitely guard Jingzhou well. As long as you are in Jingzhou, I will be there."
Feng Qi: "Forget it, even if Jingzhou is not here, you will be here too."
Cheng Yaoyao smiled and said, "Jingzhou is now our small court, with new and old forces and backgrounds crisscrossing each other. You are a military commander and don't understand many government affairs. I'd better stay."
Luo Jiu thought about it and realized that Cheng Yaoyao had good relations with both civil and military officials. She had been vice president and was well versed in military and politics.
So Luo Jiu said: "Then Yaoyao stay. You must be careful after we leave. Go to the space to sleep at night, and be sure to bring guards with you when you go out."
After everyone finished discussing, the next day, Luo Jiu summoned all his civil and military officials and announced to everyone: "Last night, I received an urgent letter from home that my father died suddenly of illness. I have to go home to attend the funeral. Generals Feng Fu and Zhong Zhubu will accompany me.
Commander Cheng was immediately promoted to Grand Commander of Jingzhou, in charge of all military and political affairs in Jingzhou."
Luo Jiu handed the military token to Cheng Yaoyao in front of everyone, "You are all my trusted ministers. I hope you will assist Governor Cheng and defend Jingzhou for me."
Everyone said, "Please rest assured, Madam."
After Luo Jiu finished explaining everything to everyone, he prepared to leave. Xun Yu hurried over, "It's unfortunate that the mistress left so quickly. I brought someone with me and was just about to introduce him to the mistress. I wonder how many days the mistress can come back?"
Luo Jiu asked hurriedly: "Who is it?"
