After Deng Dang had Lu Meng and Xu Sheng tied up, he led them to kneel and wait at the gate of the general's mansion.
After the army arrived, Chen Deng, Zhu Zhi and others also rushed over.
Looking at the heads of Liu Cong, Mrs. Cai, Cai Mao and others held in the hands of Deng Dang and others, Chen Deng nodded.
He didn't care whether Deng Dang completed his mission himself.
He only cares about Liu Cong and others being killed, and then having the right person take the blame.
Chen Deng, Zhu Zhi and others stopped at the door of the General's Mansion and did not go in.
Not long after, the armies of Taishi Ci, Cheng Pu, and Hengjie gathered from the other three city gates.
A group of people gathered at the entrance of the general's mansion, talking and laughing.
This time they captured Xiangyang, killed Jingzhou Mu, and eliminated the heads of the four major families.
At least half of Jingzhou is in Jiangdong's hands.
As for taking Xiangyang, at least according to the plan formulated by Wu Hou, the defensive line was completely formed.
After that, as long as heavy troops are sent to guard Xiangyang, no matter who takes the north or invades Jiangdong, at least one layer of skin will be lost.
Jingzhou nobles and former civil and military officials also arrived under the escort of soldiers.
Seeing Chen Deng, Cheng Pu, Zhu Zhi, Tai Shi Ci, Heng Jie, Xu Shu and others gathered together, all of them beaming with joy, these Jingzhou nobles and the original civil and military officials all sighed.
When Liu Biao was alive, they never dreamed that one day, Jingzhou would become part of Jiangdong.
Originally sitting in Jingzhou, they were somewhat proud.
Jingzhou has outstanding people, rich products and a large population. It is a paradise in troubled times.
But now, the huge gap has made many nobles and officials shed tears.
The major hermits in Jingzhou also arrived.
Doctors like Song Zhong, Pang Degong, Sima Hui, etc. from the college.
There are also other stewards from the four major families.
For example, Huang Chengyan et al.
Nowadays, all the managers of the four major families have their heads lowered and dare not make a sound.
Almost all the family heads and subordinates of the four major family heads were killed.
Nowadays, they have a huge family fortune, but they have no ability to resist. They are like poisonous snakes with their teeth pulled out, and fish meat on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered.
While everyone was waiting at the door of the General's Mansion, there was a basement of a private house not far from the General's Mansion in Xiangyang City.
Nangong Yan hurriedly got in from the outside and said with a smile: "The city is broken, now everyone is waiting at the gate of the General's Mansion!"
Everyone in the basement looked at Lu Yi, their eyes shining brightly.
Ma Zhong stared at Lu Yi with some excitement.
Although the time is somewhat short.
However, in the future, he can also brag about it to everyone. He and Wu Hou have stayed together for a long time.
Lu Yi stood up, straightened his clothes, and then led everyone out of the basement and out of the house.
As soon as Lu Yi and others came out, the soldiers noticed.
"Wuhou!"
As a soldier recognized Lu Yi, saluted and shouted loudly, with this soldier as the center, the entire Xiangyang City soldiers saluted like spreading ripples.
Shouts came and went: "Marquis Wu!"
At the door of the General's Mansion, Chen Deng and others heard the sound, and they all looked in the direction of the sound and made salutes.
Under the protection of Nangong Yan and Shi Huan, Lu Yi led Zhuge Liang, Lu Shisan and others directly to the general's mansion.
Lu Shisan grinned to the back of his ears.
It was the first time in his life that he had seen such a grand scene!
When you meet Mr. Lu Su and the boss in the future, you must brag to them!
Zhuge Liang looked at Lu Yi's back, a look of yearning appearing on his face.
This is his brother-in-law, the Lord of Jiangdong, the lord he will assist in the future!
Looking at the uniformly shouting and well-trained soldiers in Xiangyang City, Zhuge Liang hurriedly covered his face with a feather fan.
He couldn't help but feel proud.
Perhaps, one day in the future, I will be able to be remembered in books and be admired by future generations like Guan Zhong and Le Yi.
Lu Yi and others finally arrived at the gate of the General's Mansion.
Chen Deng first saluted and said: "Marquis Wu!"
Cheng Pu, Zhu Zhi, Tai Shi Ci and others followed suit and saluted.
Lu Yi quickly stepped forward, helped Chen Deng, Cheng Pu, Zhu Zhi, Tai Shici and others one by one, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work!"
Lu Yi came to Hengjie behind Chen Deng and asked: "Is this the warrior Changsha Hengjie Heng Boxu who went to Xiangyang alone in the past to take away the remains of our Jiangdong tiger Sun Jian to repay the kindness of knowing him?"
Although this was the first time Lu Yi saw him.
However, being able to stand behind Chen Deng, Cheng Pu, Zhu Zhi, and Tai Shi Ci is an extraordinary status.
Plus this completely unfamiliar face.
Lu Yi was pretty sure it was Hengjie.
The original history also records that Hengjie was also a talented person with both literary and military skills.
As for Zhang Xian, the governor of Changsha, I have never heard of him leading troops in war.
Hengjie was a little flattered and said: "Wu Hou, you are the one below!"
This was the first time Wu Hou saw him. Not only did he recognize himself, but he also knew his past deeds.
Hengjie was extremely moved.
Sure enough, I was not wrong about the person!
This lord deserves help!
Lu Yi put his right hand on Hengjie and said softly: "I, Jiangdong, need a talent like Mr."
Hengjie's eyes were a little red with excitement, and he cupped his fists and said: "My lord Hengjie, I am willing to swear allegiance to the Marquis of Wu to the death!"
Lu Yi nodded, walked towards Mr. Pang De again, and said with a smile: "Mr. Pang De, I didn't expect that we could meet again today."
All the nobles, civil and military officials in Jingzhou looked at Duke Pang De in astonishment.
Unexpectedly, Pang Degong had already been in contact with Wu Hou.
Pang Degong smiled and said: "In the past, the old farmer felt that Wu Hou was a very good person, and Kong Ming would definitely be able to show his talents under Wu Hou. Today, it seems that it is indeed the case."
Lu Yi held Pang Degong's hand and said: "Pang Degong, I know you never like to be entangled in worldly matters. But today, Jingzhou is in a state of ruin, and Guzheng is short of a Diannong school captain. I wonder if Pang Degong is willing to work hard for Guzheng." Some--"
Pang Degong met Lu Yi's sincere gaze and sighed: "The old farmer has little talent and little knowledge, but Marquis Wu still values him so much. How can the old farmer dare not to do his best?"
All Jingzhou nobles and civil and military officials breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, Marquis Wu was actually in Xiangyang City!
In other words, the turmoil in Jingzhou is all under their control!
Now, people have made Pang Degong an official again, which has made his attitude clear.
All Jingzhou nobles and civil and military officials saluted Lu Yi and said, "Marquis Wu!"
Lu Yi said with a smile: "Masters, Jingzhou still depends on your hard work!"
All the Jingzhou nobles and civil and military officials said in unison: "I am willing to swear allegiance to the Marquis of Wu to the death!"
Lu Yi nodded.
However, he did not enter the general's palace directly, but said to everyone: "The city has just been broken, and the people are disturbed. I want to take a look inside the city first, and appease the people first, and then discuss other matters."
Chen Deng asked someone to bring the war horse.
Lu Yi waved his hand and said: "The war horse is too fast, let's just go all the way!"
With that said, he walked towards the south gate of the city first.
All the gentry, civil and military officials in Jiangdong and Jingzhou followed.
The soldiers stayed put.
As Lu Yi walked in front, he shouted to the frightened people who were still hiding in their houses on the roadside: "I am the Marquis of Wu, Lu Yi! All Xiangyang folks, please come out! If there are any soldiers who are interested in you, Any violation will be severely punished without mercy!"
"This Xiangyang is still yours."
All the Jingzhou nobles and civil and military officials nodded.
Don't say anything else.
This winning attitude alone is far better than that of Jingzhou Shepherd Liu Cong who was just killed.
Even compared to the former Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, he is still much better.
Lu Yi took all the noble families, civil and military officials in Jiangdong and Jingzhou to inspect the main roads of Xiangyang City. The people came out of their homes one after another, and then Lu Yi returned to the general's mansion.
At the General's Mansion, Lu Yi first reassured the Jingzhou nobles and civil and military officials that everything would follow the original process in Jingzhou and only extremely important positions would be changed.
Afterwards, a banquet was held to entertain all the nobles and officials.
After doing this, it was already dark.
All the nobles and civil and military officials in Jingzhou left with satisfaction.
Jiangdong's soldiers also arranged to rest in various camps.
In the entire General's Mansion, Lu Yi retained Chen Deng, Cheng Pu, Zhu Zhi, Tai Shi Ci, Heng Jie, Gao Shun, Xu Shu, Zhuge Liang, Nangong Yan, Shi Huan, and the heads of the four major families.
Among them is Huang Chengyan.
Looking at these people, Lu Yi waved to Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang stood up and walked over.
Lu Yi asked Zhuge Liang to kneel down next to him and said with a smile: "Masters, from now on, you are all important members of my Jiangdong."
"It's not an exaggeration to say that you are lonely ministers."
"So, I am keeping you here today to discuss important decisions in Jingzhou."
Everyone looked at Lu Yi seriously.
Lu Yi said: "Now, we have captured Xiangyang, but this can only be regarded as Jingnan and half of Jingzhou."
"What are your plans for Jingbei?"
Everyone started whispering to each other.
At this moment, Zhuge Liang stood up and said: "Marquis Wu, I have a plan, maybe I can take Jingbei without any blood."
Everyone looked at Zhuge Liang.
Lu Yi smiled and said, "Tell me about it."
Zhuge Liang said: "I only need two items. With these two items, I can capture Jingbei."
Lu Yi said: "Say."
Zhuge Liang said: "The first item is the seal of the governor of Jiangxia County."
"The general in charge of Jingbei now is called Wenpin. He is the most loyal general of Liu Biao, the former shepherd of Jingzhou."
"I want the seal of the governor of Jiangxia County to be given to Young Master Liu Qi."
"This is to ensure that Young Master Liu Qi, sitting in Jiangxia County, will have no worries about food and clothing, and will be prosperous and wealthy."
"The second item is the one-day command authority for all armies outside Xiangyang City."
"I want them to follow me to the new wilderness and arrange their troops according to my formation without fighting."
"This move is just to let Wenpin understand that I, Jiangdong, are extremely powerful and cannot be resisted by him."
Lu Yi asked: "No more?"
Zhuge Liang said: "Just these two."
Lu Yi looked at the others and said, "What do you think?"
Everyone looked at each other suspiciously.
Huang Chengyan, who was sitting in the second-to-last seat, stood up and said, "I think it's feasible."
Seeing this, Lu Yi nodded and said to the others: "Since you have no objections, just do what Kong Ming said!"
"The army rested for two days and set off in the morning the day after tomorrow for Xinye. Zhuge Liang arranged his troops for a day."
Everyone responded in unison.
Lu Yi then said: "Mr. Huang Chengyan is staying, the others will be here today."
Everyone retreated.
After a while, Lu Yi and Huang Chengyan were the only two people left in the hall.
Huang Chengyan was a little panicked.
It was his first contact with this Wu Hou.
Although he is so young, he is quite sophisticated in his actions.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that the young man in front of him would be the princes who occupied most of Yangzhou, Xuzhou and Jingzhou!
Although he is well-informed, he is also a little stressed at the moment.
Lu Yi felt very emotional when he saw Huang Chengyan was so nervous that he kept wiping his sweat.
This is power!
No wonder countless people have been obsessed with it throughout the ages, even their wives, children, and children.
I was originally an ordinary social creature of the 21st century.
With the status of Wu Hou, Huang Chengyan, who is famous in history, would be so nervous when facing himself!
Smiling at Huang Chengyan, Lu Yi said: "Mr. Huang, don't panic. I don't want to make things difficult for you by keeping you here today. I just want to confirm something with you and meet someone."
Huang Chengyan forced a smile and said, "Wu Hou, just say it."
Lu Yi said: "Do you have a daughter?"
Huang Chengyan was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said: "I am very happy to let my little girl serve Wu Marquis. However, my little girl is ugly, and her behavior is a bit weird, and she is not like a lady like everyone else."
"Don't persuade me to serve Wu Hou."
"Maybe if I say it, I will make Wu Hou laugh."
"Actually, my little girl is already sixteen this year. So far, no man of the right age has come to propose marriage."
"Even the old minister lowered his face and hinted to many families, and they all pretended not to understand what he meant."
