    "We will surrender!"

    "Thank you, Mr. Zhou Mu, for not killing me!"

    After Cao Cao went south, these soldiers in the four counties of Jingnan only changed their flags and did not even change their clothes and armor. In fact, many people thought that they were still Jingzhou soldiers. Now after listening to Liu Cong's words, how could they not surrender?  ?

    In Lingling City, there were only 3,000 soldiers and horses, except for personal soldiers and government soldiers, and almost all of them surrendered. Therefore, Liu Cong was not in a hurry to attack the city, but reorganized these soldiers first.  For Liu Cong, the city is important, but soldiers are even more important.

    Liu Biao's influence in Jingzhou was very great, and Liu Cong was the legal heir of Zhou Mu, so the recruitment of these soldiers was very smooth. Excluding some old, weak, sick and disabled, there were a total of more than 2,300 combatable soldiers, so Wei Yan was given  The vanguard army added more than 1,000 people, making up 3,000, and the army led by Liu Cong and Huang Zhong also reached more than 4,000.

    After finishing these things, the fifth watch has passed and the sky is slowly getting bright.

    Liu Cong then led Wei Yan, Huang Zhong and an army of 7,000 people and slowly came to the city.

    Before the city was called, the city gate opened with a creak, and about five hundred soldiers came out, standing neatly on both sides, and gave way to the city gate.

    At the front of the soldiers, a scribe and a young general were riding horses.

    The two of them walked to a place about ten steps away from Liu Cong, dismounted from their horses, and walked forward slowly.

    "Who are you? Stop!" Liu Hu, the commander of Liu Cong's soldiers, shouted, and at the same time, all the soldiers put their arrows on the strings.

    After listening to Liu Hu's words, the two stood there, but there was no fear on their faces.

    Liu Cong waved his hand, and the soldiers put down their bows and arrows.

    "Who are you?" Liu Cong asked.

    "Jiang Wan, the chief historian of Lingling!"

    "Centurion Liu Min!"

    "I'm here to welcome Mr. Zhou Mu into the city!"

    The tone of the two of them was calm, neither humble nor overbearing.

    "Jiang Wan? Are you Jiang Wan?" When Liu Cong heard the word "Jiang Wan", he was first surprised, and then excited.

    This is one of the four phases of Shu Han!  And he would succeed Zhuge Liang as prime minister!  It is precisely because of him that the Shu Han Dynasty after Zhuge Liang has been able to support it for several decades!

    "Exactly!"

    Lingling Jiang Wan's name is also known to many people in the four counties of Jingnan, so it is not surprising that Liu Cong has heard his name Jiang Wan.

    "Okay, Huang Zhong and Wei Yan, lead the army into the city immediately!"

    "My lord, this" Wei Yan hesitated a little. Jiang Wan is Lingling's long history. If there is any fraud, wouldn't he be throwing himself into a trap?

    "Chang Wen, don't worry. Jiang Gongyan is our minister in Jingzhou and a loyal man. I trust him and go to the city!"

    "No!" The army entered Lingling City in a mighty manner.

    Under the leadership of Jiang Wan and Liu Min, Liu Cong led the army into the city. The military camp in the city had been prepared. After the soldiers were stationed, Liu Cong, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and others came with only 500 soldiers.  Prefect's Mansion.

    It turns out that after Xing Daorong and Liu Xian led their troops out of the city, Jiang Wan and Liu Min took action and successfully took over the city tower and the prefect's mansion. They killed all Liu Du and his party members and successfully took over the prefect's mansion.

    "Jiang Wan (Liu Min) meets the Lord and is willing to drive for the Lord's hegemony!"

    The two of them were originally going to worship Liu Cong as their master at the city gate, but they had a very bad impression of Liu Cong before. Despite Ma Liang's letter, they still couldn't completely change it for a while, so they decided to take a look in person.

    When they saw Liu Cong's soldiers, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan's awe of Liu Cong, and Liu Cong's absolute confidence in his attitude towards Jiang Wan, they were completely determined.

    "Both of you, please get up quickly!" Liu Cong was very happy. Needless to say, Jiang Wan was talented, and this Liu Min was also an important general of the Shu Han in the past history. The gain from winning Lingling City this time can be said to be very great.  .

    "I make Jiang Wan the prefect of Lingling and Liu Min the captain of Lingling. They will continue to guard Lingling!"

    "Thank you, Lord!" When the two heard this, they were both happy and moved, and they quickly knelt down again.

    Jiang Wan was a talented person, and his ambition was to be the governor of a county, but Liu Biao never reused him and only made him a county magistrate. In previous history, after Jiang Wan followed Liu Bei into Yizhou, he was still a county magistrate.  make.  He felt that his talent was not appreciated, so he neglected his official duties and was almost beheaded by Liu Bei.  It was not until Zhuge Liang recommended it that it was gradually reused.

    ??But Liu Min was just a centurion at this time, and he was suddenly promoted to the captain of a county.It can be said that you have reached the sky in one step, how can you not be excited?

    "My lord, we captured Lingling and Wen Chang made a great contribution. So this time we attack Wuling, we should let the general be the vanguard!" Huang Zhong knew that the next step was to attack Wuling, so he quickly asked for orders.

    "My lord, I would like to lead the army to attack Wuling!" Wei Yan saw that Huang Zhong asked for orders, and he was also anxious.

    "Chang Wen, you have already been a vanguard, how can you still compete with me?" Huang Zhong became unhappy at first glance, "My lord, you can't be partial! This time in the attack on Wuling, I must be the vanguard!"

    "Ha" Liu Cong was very happy when he saw it. A military general should be like this, "Chang Wen, don't be anxious, Han Sheng. This time, you two have to fight!"

    "What do you mean, lord?"

    "We divide our troops into two groups and attack Wuling and Guiyang at the same time!"

    "I see, why didn't my lord tell me earlier?"

    "Now that we have Gong Yan and Liu Min, Lingling has no worries, so we can divide our forces into two groups!"

    "Don't worry, my lord, Lingling City only needs a thousand soldiers and horses to ensure that everything is safe!" Jiang Wan's face was full of confidence.

    "A thousand troops and horses are too few, isn't it? Gong Yan, Liu Bei and Zhou Yu are also eyeing Jingzhou at this time!"

    Liu Bei could no longer take advantage of Nanjun, so he would definitely think of the four Jingnan counties, so Liu Cong was still a little worried.

    "Don't worry, my lord, there are still hundreds of soldiers in the city, and I can also mobilize some soldiers and horses from various counties. Even if Liu Bei and Zhou Yu attack at the same time, Liu Min and I can defend Lingling!"

    "Okay! In that case, I'm relieved!" Liu was very happy after hearing what Jiang Wan said. In troubled times, what is needed is talents. If there is no Jiang Wan, then Wei Yan or Huang Zhong must be left to guard Lingling.

    "Huang Zhong, I order you to lead two thousand soldiers and horses as the left vanguard to attack Wuling!"

    "No!"

    "Wei Yan, I order you to lead two thousand soldiers and horses as the right vanguard to attack Guiyang!"

    "No!"

    "Remember, the best policy is to subjugate the enemy without fighting!"

    "Please remember this, general!"

    The army rested in Lingling for a day. Early the next morning, Huang Zhong and Wei Yan each led two thousand soldiers and horses out of the city and attacked Wuling to the west of the Xiangjiang River and Guiyang to the east of the Xiangjiang River respectively.

    Liu Cong left a thousand troops and horses for Jiang Wan, and he led two thousand troops into the east of the Xiangjiang River and approached Changsha.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
