Chapter 360 Get Jingzhou
Except for the army, they are all in charge. Cai Mao believes that such surrender is not unfair.
"General, can we discuss it for a while? Please wait for a while!"
With Chen Yang's nodding and agreeing, Cai Mao called Liu Cong and others, and they went to the study together to discuss whether they should surrender.
Chen Yang did not stop them from doing this, and stayed in the conference hall to continue waiting, because he knew that the result of their discussion must be to agree to surrender, and there was only the path of surrender. Moreover, in later history, Liu Cong also supported surrender, and only Liu Qi was a rebel.
"General, are we waiting here?"
Seeing Cai Mao and others leaving, Xiahou Heng asked.
"Otherwise, what else do you want to do?" Chen Yang asked back.
"I'm not worried that after they left, dozens of knives and axemen suddenly rushed out and chopped us up."
Xiahou Heng's words made Cao Fan's body tremble slightly when he was scared. His courage was really too small.
After a while, Liu Cong and the others finally came back.
Liu Cong bowed and said, "General, we have decided to surrender after discussion. Please keep our promise."
Although they only have the same way to surrender, they are still worried that Chen Yang will go back on his word and emphasize the things they promised again.
In fact, Liu Cong was sent by Cao Cao to be the governor of Qingzhou not long after surrendering, and then arranged for Yu Jin to kill him on the way.
Now that Boss Cao is unconscious, Liu Cong is worried about whether Chen Yang will commit fraud.
"Of course I will keep my promise. I am not an unreasonable person. Please hand over the military power."
Chen Yang nodded in agreement. He did not kill him like Boss Cao.
Liu Cong looked at Cai Mao, and saw that the latter nodded slightly, and the former handed over the military power.
With the military power in his hands, Chen Yang opened the city gate and brought Cao Hong and others in.
Cao Hong did not go to Jiangxia with Wenpin, nor did he return to Xudu. He had been stationed in Lujiang.
When Chen Yang left Lujiang to Xiangyang, he brought Cao Hong and his soldiers with him, and before that, he was stationed outside Xiangyang City.
Cao Hong's army successfully entered and then took over the original military power in Jingzhou. There was no other problem in all development and would not be resisted by Xiangyang.
Chen Yang wrote a letter and asked Cao Ang to send it to him, asking him to solve Xinye's affairs as soon as possible and then stabilize Xiangyang.
Chen Yang also ignored the government affairs and personnel transfers in Jingzhou according to the agreement with Liu Cong at the beginning. He only needed the army.
As long as they have sufficient strength and strong military strength, even if Liu Cong and others want to rebel, they will not have the ability.
After Cao Hong was stationed in Xiangyang, he said excitedly: "Zi'an, you can really take Jingzhou without any effort."
"I just use the awe of Liu Cong and Cai Mao for us to succeed. We have to take over the soldiers in Xiangyang and go to the military camp first."
Chen Yang ordered Cai Mao and Liu Cong to lead the way, and Cao Hong led thousands of people and soon appeared in the military camp.
At this time, the surrender of Liu Cong and Cai Mao had spread throughout Xiangyang.
In the military camp, the soldiers heard that they had been taken over by Cao's army and were immediately panicked, and they didn't know how Chen Yang would treat them.
Chen Yang directly gave Cao Hong the responsibility for how to appease these soldiers. The reason why he came here to see was that he wanted to know how many sailors there were in Xiangyang, after all, sailors were not easy to train.
Wenpin and their sailors trained for a year, and all of them were considered elite, only about 10,000. If they could directly replenish the sailors' forces from Jingxiang, it would be the best.
"You Jingzhou people are strong, especially the sailors." Chen Yang sat beside the military camp and looked over to the schoolyard.
Liu Cong, Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and others followed him without leaving any steps and introduced Chen Yang in various ways.
"If you want to say that the troops are strong, Jingzhou is ashamed of being a good man!"
Cai Mao smiled apologized and said, "The troops under Prime Minister Cao's command were able to suppress Yuan Shao and even dared to cross the Yellow River. With the strength of the general, it would be easy to pacify the world."
"We are just powerful infantrymen. In terms of sailors, they are still much worse than those who live in the Yangtze River system all year round."
Chen Yang smiled politely and said, "It's still early to pacify the world. I wonder how many sailors are in Jingzhou?"
"The elites are only eight thousand, but the total number is about ten thousand!" Liu Cong said.
There are only eight thousand elite soldiers?
It seems that the water in Xiangyang's sailors is also very deep. I wonder how many elite sailors can there be among the entire Jingzhou sailors?
Just when Chen Yang was about to ask this, Cao Hong and others in front of him exclaimed, and then a noisy sound rang throughout the military camp.
"What happened?"
Chen Yang stood up and looked over, but saw hundreds of people gathered there, blocking their sight, and he could not see what was happening in the crowd for the time being.
Liu Cong and others secretly complained that they were not good, thinking that their soldiers might have offended Cao Hong and others.
If so, they may be in trouble.
Thinking of this, Liu Cong hurriedly said, "General, please wait, I'll go and have a look."
The few of them hurried to the crowd, and Chen Yang was also curious about what happened and followed slowly behind him.
"Father, this person is too strong, I'm no match!"
As Chen Yang approached, he heard Cao Hong's very unscrupulous voice coming.
When the surrounding soldiers saw that it was Chen Yang coming, they gave in one way to pass.
Chen Yang could see that Cao Fu was confronted by a man who looked tall and thin but covered in iron blood and full of murderous aura.
Cao Fu said again: "Father, can I admit defeat and surrender? If I continue to fight, I really can't!"
"If you dare to surrender, I will not have you as your son!"
Cao Hong yelled, and he wanted to step forward and beat Cao Fu up.
He wondered in his heart, why was his son so cowardly?
Cao Fu gritted his teeth, rushed towards the man regardless of scruples, and punched him out.
The man reacted quickly, flashed his side and also swung his fist toward Cao Fu. The two sides fought again.
"General, what are you doing? Don't beat us anymore, it will be bad if we hurt our harmony."
Liu Cong knew that Cao Fu was Cao Hong's son, and he was worried that he would be injured by the man and then something conflicted happened.
"General Cao, why did they fight?" Chen Yang asked.
"I want to establish my authority in front of the soldiers of Xiangyang and to get closer to the relationship between the two sides through the competition. Who knows that the boy is so weak, no wonder he can be hit on the ground by the Hongyan Army composed of the eldest lady and the women."
Cao Hong also knew about the Hongyan Army. Thinking of this, he said angrily again: "Even a woman can't beat me, how could I have such a son?"
Chen Yang looked at the soldiers on both sides and said, "It's better to stop this kind of competition. The winner is very obvious. Let them stop first."
Cao Hong scratched his head and asked Cao Fu to take the lead. He wanted to take a closer look at whether he had made progress recently, but he would be punished by an unknown lieutenant in the Xiangyang army.
"This brat!"
Cao Hong scolded Cao Fu again in his heart.
"General, they can't stop."
As soon as Liu Cong finished speaking, he saw Xiahou Heng rushing forward.
Xiahou Heng whispered: "I'll help you!"
Immediately afterwards, he punched and fought against the man with Cao Fu.
The man was calm and not panicked at all. Even when facing Cao Fu and the others, he seemed to be in an orderly manner.
"He is so strong. Who is he? What's his name?" Chen Yang looked up and said with appreciation.
