Chapter 109
Hearing Liu Biao's words, Cai Mao smiled wryly, and said inwardly, "Sure enough!"

"Cai Mao is willing to descend to Han with the lord!"

Cai Mao got off his horse, knelt down on one knee, and said in a deep voice.

"My brother Cai Mao, hurry up and come with me to meet General Xue."

Hearing Cai Mao's words, Liu Biao was overjoyed and smiled.

Seeing that Cai Mao was willing to follow him to the Han, Liu Biao was overjoyed, got off his horse, helped Cai Mao up, held Cai Mao's hand, and walked towards Xue Rengui, fearing that Cai Mao would regret it if he was too slow, and the credit he got would fly away.

Seeing that the surrender of the Xiangyang Navy went so smoothly, Xue Rengui was also overjoyed, he rode forward and took the initiative to meet Liu Biao and Cai Mao.

Coming in front of the two, Xue Rengui got off his horse.

"Cai Mao pays homage to General Xue!"

Seeing Xue Rengui, Cai Mao took the initiative to salute.

"General Cai, there is no need to be polite!"

Xue Rengui supported Cai Mao in bowing posture, and smiled.

"I also ask General Cai to cooperate with me, hand over the military power, and then follow me to Xiangyang to meet the emperor!"

Xue Rengui looked at the Xiangyang navy and said in a deep voice.

"As it should be!"

Cai Mao smiled.

Half an hour later, Gan Ning led the Han navy to land on the shore, stationed in the Xiangyang Water Village, and handed over military power to Cai Mao.

In front of tens of thousands of Xiangyang naval forces, Cai Mao personally handed over the tiger talisman representing military power to Gan Ning. The entire transfer of military power was successfully completed, and tens of thousands of Xiangyang naval forces were formally incorporated into the sequence of Han naval forces.

With the incorporation of the Xiangyang Navy into the Ganning Division, there is no longer any threat around Xiangyang City. The seven counties and one city of Jingzhou, except for Jiangxia County, which is still in the hands of Huang Zu, are all included in the territory of the Han Dynasty.

The next morning, Liu Hong got up early to hold a small court meeting in Jingzhou State Mufu.

Today, Liu Hong is going to entrust the generals and establish a leadership team in Jingzhou, so he can return to the court sooner.

It has been more than a few months since the expedition to Jingzhou this time, and it has already arrived in the early winter of 190 AD.

When Liu Hong came to the meeting hall, Jingzhou Wenwu, Guo Jia, Zhao Yun and other Han generals had been waiting for a long time.

Liu Hong sat down on the main seat, and all the officials in the hall paid homage immediately, saying: "We pay homage to Your Majesty!"

"Everyone is flat!"

Liu Hong said in a deep voice.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Thank you, all ministers!

"Today, Jingzhou is back under the rule of the Great Han, thanks to the merits of all the ministers. I am very happy that the ministers are loyal to the Great Han!"

Liu Hong looked at the civil and military personnel, his eyes swept over the faces of Guo Jia, Zhao Yun and others, and said in a deep voice.

"The ministers are willing to die for His Majesty! Willing to be loyal to the great man!"

Hearing Liu Hongzhi's words, everyone in the hall said in unison.

"Hahaha, okay, I have all the ministers to help me, so why worry about the big man being unhappy!"

Hearing what everyone said, Liu Hong laughed loudly.

"Now that Jingzhou is initially established, all wastes are waiting to be rejuvenated. I want to reward meritorious deeds and draw up the hundred officials of Jingzhou."

Liu Hong said in a deep voice.

"Where is Liu Biao?"

Liu Hong said solemnly.

The first person Liu Hong wanted to reward was Liu Biao.

At this time, Liu Biao was still occupying the position of the shepherd of Jingzhou. If Liu Biao's arrangements were not made clear first, there would be no way for all the officials in Jingzhou to be appointed.

"Chen is here!"

Hearing that Liu Hong called him, Liu Biao quickly left work to answer.

"Liu Biao, although you have made meritorious deeds in dedicating the city, you have also committed demerits. I have always distinguished between rewards and punishments, rewards for meritorious deeds, and punishment for demerits.

I dismiss you from the position of Shepherd of Jingzhou today to punish you for your past mistakes.

Do you have any objections to enfeoffing you as the governor of Yizhou and marquis of Jieting to reward you for your achievements? "

Liu Hong looked at Liu Biao and said in a deep voice.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Long En!"

Hearing that Liu Hong had sealed him as a marquis, Liu Biao knelt down directly, thanking him in tears.

Yizhou is now the capital of the great Han Dynasty, although Yizhou governor is only a vain job.

But Marquis of Jieting is a real title.

How dare Liu Biao have any objections, if he doesn't thank you, it's not because he has a brain problem, because he doesn't want to live well.

After experiencing the ups and downs in life, Liu Biao no longer pursues fame and fortune, but only seeks a stable and ordinary life, watching his two children grow up and take care of them for the rest of their lives.

"Where is Xue Rengui?"

Liu Hong said solemnly.

Once Liu Biao has settled down, the next work will be arranged.

Liu Biao vacated the position of Jingzhou Mu, and Xue Rengui could take office immediately. After all, there are only a few real power officials in Jingzhou, one carrot and one hole.

"The end is here!"

Hearing that Liu Hong was ordering a general, Xue Rengui immediately came out of the squad to respond.

"I want Xu Rengui to be the shepherd of Jingzhou, will Rengui dare to take over?"

Liu Hong looked at Xue Rengui and asked with a smile.

"The final general is willing to die for His Majesty!"

Xue Rengui knelt on one knee and said in a deep voice.

"Okay, let me ask you, if Sun Jian from the east of the river advances by land and water to attack Jingzhou, what will you do?"

Liu Hong asked in a deep voice.

"Returning to Your Majesty, if Sun Jian comes to attack, the general will order the navy to refuse to guard Jiangxia and block the Yangtze River, and Sun Jian will definitely return without success."

Xue Rengui replied in a deep voice.

"If Yangzhou Yuan Shu raises troops to attack, what should you do?"

Liu Hong asked again.

Hearing Xue Rengui's answer, Liu Hong nodded. Although there was nothing bright about it, it was quite satisfactory and Jingzhou would be safe.

Although the Jingzhou navy is elite, it is not as good as the Jiangdong navy. Xue Rengui was right to refuse to defend Jiangdong.

"Return to Your Majesty, if Yuan Shu comes to attack, the general will lead an army to attack him!"

Xue Rengui replied in a deep voice.

"If Cao Cao from Yuzhou comes to attack, what will you do?"

Liu Hong asked again.

Liu Hong did not comment on Xue Rengui's answer.

As the shepherd of Jingzhou, Xue Rengui is concerned with the safety of the state, so he should not move lightly, and lead the army rashly. Once there is a change in the rear of Jingzhou, it is likely to cause Jingzhou to miss.

In the original history, because Guan Yu sent troops rashly to attack Wancheng, the rear of Jingzhou was attacked by Lu Meng, and finally lost Jingzhou, defeated Maicheng, and was forced to death by Lu Meng.

However, with Xue Rengui's ability and the strength of Jingzhou's army, it was not difficult to defeat Yuan Shu. He could even take advantage of the situation to invade Yangzhou, expand his territory, and occupy Jiujiang and other counties.

"Returning to Your Majesty, if Cao Cao comes to attack, the last general will be Zeng Bing Wancheng, and personally raise cavalry to bypass the Wancheng battlefield, attack Xuchang and other places behind Yuzhou, and force Cao Cao to withdraw his troops."

Xue Rengui thought for a moment, then replied.

Hearing Xue Rengui's return, Liu Hong frowned slightly. Xue Rengui's idea is not a risky decision, it is very dangerous, but it has to be said that it is the best decision.

In history, more than one person came up with the strategy of attacking Xuchang, and Cao Cao was even frightened and almost moved the capital.

"If Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, and Sun Jian attack together, what should you do?"

Liu Hong did not rush to deny Xue Rengui's answer, but chose to ask the question again.

"Returning to Your Majesty, if three people attack at the same time, they will be divided into troops to reject them.

He ordered the water army to garrison troops in Jiangxia to control the army in the east of the river.

He ordered the general to stay in Changsha for a generation to stop Yuan Shu.

He ordered Wenpin to stick to Wancheng and keep Cao Cao outside Jingzhou.

In the end, the general led the cavalry to support him in the middle, waiting for the opportunity, and at the same time asked Chengdu for help.

If there is a chance, attack with the force of thunder, or attack one by one, first defeat Yuan Shu, then retreat to Jiangdong, and finally counterattack Cao Cao. "

Xue Rengui thought for a long time before answering in a deep voice.
