Jingzhou, Nanjun, Jiangling City.
After executing Liu Bei, Liu Zhang returned north to Jiangling.
Jingnan is vast and sparsely populated, and its resistance is weak.
After Liu Bei's death, there would be no resistance.
Even in the remote Guiyang County and Lingling County, it is possible to spread the message.
However, Liu Zhang still let the army disperse into various cities.
The first is to stabilize the hearts of the people in various counties and prevent unrest.
The second is to re-select county officials to ensure that they take office and rely on military power to quickly grasp the situation in each county.
As a result, the progress was much faster than Liu Zhang expected.
Within a few days of arriving in Gangneung, numerous good news came.
"King Qin, news came from Xu Shu that he has completely taken control of Lingling County. General Xu Huang has also recovered all of Guiyang County."
"From now on, all four counties in Jingnan will be included in the territory of our Qin State."
Although the good news was good, Liu Zhang had a headache.
"Shiyuan, have you selected the officials to dispatch from each county?"
Pang Tong nodded.
"Don't worry, King Qin. Dong Biejia of Yizhou has selected fifty people with both ability and political integrity. They will be able to resist Jiangling in a short time."
"I have selected Liu Bei's old troops and selected the best among the descendants of the Jingzhou family. I will definitely be able to stabilize the situation in Jingnan."
"That's good."
Liu Zhang felt relieved a little.
As long as the problems of officials are not resolved, the soldiers will not be able to withdraw.
Now that he was winning consecutive victories and his morale was high, Liu Zhang couldn't wait to expand his results.
"Shi Yuan, ask Zhang Liao to hand over the matter to Xu Shu, and then lead the Eastern Army to withdraw."
"In addition, send someone to notify Xu Shu and let him stabilize the situation before sending troops to the state to capture Cangwu County and Yulin County, which were previously controlled by Liu Bei."
Pang Tong was a little surprised.
"Is King Qin's next goal to be Jiaozhou?"
Liu Zhang chuckled and shook his head.
"Jiaozhou is like a thing without an owner, it is completely given away."
As he spoke, his eyes suddenly became fierce.
"After capturing Yu Lin and Cang Wu, ask Xu Shu to send people to contact the Shi family. Tell Shi Xie that if you want to live, you will surrender completely. If you want to die, I don't mind destroying the Shi family!"
At this time, Jiaozhi County, Jiuzhen County, and Rinan County still belonged to Dahan Jiaozhou.
In the future, this place will gradually lose control and become completely separated.
When this happens, the root cause actually lies in the present moment.
Jiaozhou is located in a remote area and belongs to Baiyue.
Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, and Rinan are even farther away.
It has always been regarded as a barren land by people from the Central Plains.
I have never regarded the local Baiyue as a human being.
If Liu Zhang hadn't been born out of nowhere, the aristocratic clan would actually only regard the places south of the Yellow River and north of the Yangtze River as human beings.
Not even Jizhou, Hebei, can catch the eyes of the Central Plains aristocrats.
Don't even think about the remote Jiaozhou south of the Yangtze River.
If you look down on someone and treat them badly, there will naturally be countless conflicts.
Over time, when conflicts intensify to the point where they become irreconcilable, things that will make history regretful will naturally happen.
Liu Zhang knew history well, how could he sit back and watch such a tragedy?
First capture the entire Jiaozhou, and then target Baiyue, just like the Southern Barbarians and Qiang Hu, exaggerating the culture and customs.
In the end, the entire Jiaozhou Baiyue was completely integrated into the Han people.
As long as the aboriginal people here identify themselves as Han Chinese, they will naturally not leave easily in the future.
No matter how long it takes and how many times the world is divided and reunited, future rulers will never give up on the three counties of Jiaozhou so easily.
After all, this place belongs to the Han people!
"I obey!"
Pang Tong had no idea and accepted the order.
For him, he didn't take Jiaozhou seriously.
At most, it's just to let the partial masters sweep it away at will, that's all.
"Bo Yan."
Liu Zhang turned to look at Lu Xun.
"King Qin, what are your orders?"
"Bo Yan, what happened to what Gu asked you to do?"
Lu Xun nodded, but his eyes were a little melancholy.
"Don't worry, King Qin. The ministers have already made arrangements. But... there is no movement at Sun Quan yet."
After returning from Jingnan, Liu Zhang confirmed the current situation with Lu Xun again.
For the sake of Lu Xun's wife, Liu Zhang asked Lu Xun to find a way to release the news about Guanzhong.
It was used to frighten Sun Quan and force him to submit.
At first, Lu Xun was also suspicious, and even thought that Guanzhong had been captured.
But with Liu Zhang's solemn guarantee, Lu Xun agreed.
As a result, there has been no news at all for so many days.
Lu Xun had to doubt the accuracy of the news.
Liu Zhang didn't pay attention, with a thick smile on his lips.
"Haha, don't worry, let the bullets fly for a while..."
Lu Xun didn't say anything, but after a moment, he looked at Liu Zhang in confusion.
"King Qin, what is the bullet?"
"Forehead..."
Just when Liu Zhang had a headache how to answer, the soldier suddenly walked in.
"Reporting to the King of Qin, Gu Yong, the envoy from Jiangdong, asks for an audience!"
Lu Xun was stunned for a moment, then immediately showed a look of surprise.
"King Qin, it turns out that Gu Yong is the bullet!"
"Uh...hehehe..."
Liu Zhang cajoled him with a dry smile.
He nodded to the soldier.
"Pass it in."
Not long after, a middle-aged scribe came in.
After seeing Liu Zhang, he immediately bowed down and bowed down with full courtesy.
"Gu Yong meets the King of Qin!"
"Yuan Tan, long time no see..."
Liu Zhangxu gave him a hand and looked at Gu Yong's face that was no longer immature, feeling quite emotional.
Gu Yong pursed his lips, looking melancholy and blaming himself.
"I am blind and do not recognize the heroic figure of the hero. Please forgive me, King Qin!"
When Gu Yong first met Liu Zhang, it was when Liu Zhang put down the Yellow Turban Rebellion and was promoted to post general.
At that time, Liu Zhang was high-spirited and unruly.
Being in the capital and holding heavy troops, he was naturally a bit arrogant.
Even when facing a great scholar like Cai Yong, he was awe-inspiring but also arrogant.
Especially when he sent troops to rob Cai Yan, Gu Yong felt that Liu Zhang was too arrogant and could not become a great weapon.
Absolutely unable to adapt to and face complex court situations.
Who would have thought that from then on, Liu Zhang would rise through the ranks and sit in the position of General Wei, one of the three generals.
The power is overwhelming, and he can almost control the court.
At that time, Gu Yong had self-doubt for the first time.
As a result, Liu Zhang retreated bravely and retreated to Bashu, which almost made Gu Yongxiao bend his waist.
From then on, Gu Yong believed that Liu Zhang had no ambition.
As a result, the facts hit me again.
Ping Yizhou, go north to Yongliang, massacre Xianbei, and recover the Qiang and Hu!
Every move he makes can be regarded as a great figure in the world!
It is simply impossible for someone other than a hero in troubled times to do it!
Later, he declared himself a duke and founded the country, ascended to the throne of Qin, and took control of the Western Regions!
So far, he has marched eastward and destroyed Liu Bei in one fell swoop.
This further established his identity as the number one hero in the world.
If the matter in Guanzhong is confirmed again, Gu Yong can't even imagine it.
The self-righteous Gu Yong could not figure out how to limit Liu Zhang's development and expansion at this moment.
Trying your best, you can only sit back and watch Liu Zhang gradually control the entire world without any means to deal with it.
This is utter powerlessness!
