    Wancheng was completely empty. Liu Cong led 10,000 troops into the city, while the rest of the troops were stationed outside the city.

    The officials of the prefecture led hundreds of soldiers. After a slight resistance, some were killed and the rest surrendered.

    Liu Cong immediately ordered Pang Tong to come out to pacify the people and take over Wancheng.

    Wancheng has always been a battleground for military strategists, with constant wars.  Therefore, the number of common people is not large, and there are even fewer merchants.  But they have become accustomed to this change of rights.

    Since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, Yuan Shu, Liu Biao, Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu and Cao Ren have successively occupied it.  Now that Liu Cong has taken it away, they are not surprised.

    There is also a lot of food and grass in the city, which can last for 10,000 soldiers and horses for half a year.

    "My lord, Nanyang is very important to Cao Cao. After he knows about it, he will definitely attack in a large scale. Therefore, we must take precautions early." After everything was arranged, Pang Tong said.

    "Let Wei Yan station here!" Liu Cong thought for a while and said.

    "Wen Chang is both wise and brave, and is the best candidate." Pang Tong also nodded, "Cao Cao has sent Xu Huang and Liu Ye, leading an army of 30,000. Wei Yan should have no problem with 10,000 troops defending the city. But Cao Cao  Once it is known that Nanyang has been lost and Cao Renmanchong died in battle, I am afraid that another large army will be sent. By then, it will be difficult to defend the isolated city of Wancheng!"

    "Then from Shi Yuan's point of view, how should we arrange it?"

    "Lord, please look here!" Pang Tongyong pointed to the left side of Wancheng on the map. "This place used to be called New City. It was built by Emperor Guangwu when he launched an army in Nanyang. It echoes Wancheng. At that time, Wang Mang sent General Wang Xun to lead an army of 50,000  But Nanyang was not captured, and the new city played an important role. However, this place is now abandoned."

    "Shiyuan means rebuilding the new city!"

    "Yes!" Pang Tong nodded, "From now on, our focus with Cao Cao will be on Nanyang. The Lord will also attack Yizhou and Hanzhong in the future. With the new city, we will eliminate our worries."

    "Okay!" Liu Cong made a decisive decision, "Order Ma Su and Niu Jin to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to station in the new city. At the same time, let 6,000 prisoners of Cao's army build the new city. Shi Yuan will personally supervise and build the new city into an impregnable pass!"

    "No!"

    "Wei Yan was appointed as the captain of Nanyang, and 10,000 troops were stationed in Wancheng. Cui Zhouping was appointed as the prefect of Nanyang to quickly restore order in Nanyang. The land that had time to be planted must not be left uncultivated, and at the same time, commerce was developed. After the new city was built, 10,000 troops were also stationed, and Ma Di was appointed as the governor of Nanyang.  The chief general, Niu Jin, is the deputy general."

    "No!" Pang Tong wrote down all of this one by one.

    Three days later, Cui Zhouping arrived in Wancheng and also brought some officials. Nanyang's government affairs began to operate normally.

    After Xiang Chong escorted the grain and grass over, they all were sent to the new city.

    After everything was arranged, Liu Cong's class returned to Xiangyang.

    With Nanyang, Xiangyang does not need too many troops. Therefore, Liu Pan led 5,000 troops and stationed them in Xinye. On the one hand, he could rush to help Wancheng quickly, and on the other hand, if Wancheng fell, Xinye could serve as a base for Xiangyang.  a barrier.

    Outside Xiangyang City, Ma Liang, Wang Can, and Meng Jian led dozens of officials from Xiangyang to greet him outside the city.

    "My lord" Ma Liang and others had mixed feelings when they saw that Liu Cong was not only safe and sound, but also more energetic, mature and stable than before.

    The whole time from sending troops to Nanyang to returning to Xiangyang was only 20 days, but Ma Liang felt like it was the same year ago.

    When rumors came to Xiangyang City that Liu Cong had died in battle, Ma Liang forced himself not to believe it. It was this belief that supported him in handling all affairs in Xiangyang, because he did not dare to think about what would happen after Liu Cong's accident.

    And when he finally got Liu Cong, not only safe and sound, but also got Wancheng, Ma Liang was as excited as a child, laughing and crying, venting all the depression in his heart during this period.

    "See my lord"

    "Ji Chang, Zhong Xuan, Gong Wei, everyone has worked hard, please get back to health quickly!"

    "Thank you, Lord!" Everyone stood up.

    "Although Nanyang is a county in Jingzhou, it has been occupied by others since Dong Zhuo's rebellion. Now it has finally been taken back by the lord. The lord's achievements are unparalleled." Wang Can said with emotion.

    After taking back Nanyang, the entire Xiangyang city was full of joy. According to Liu Cong's instructions, Nanyang will become the next center of Jingzhou. Therefore, many businesses began to develop in Wancheng and some surrounding counties under the organization of the Xiangyang Chamber of Commerce. Zhou Mu  The government also has plans to move some refugees north.

    A thousand Han knives were also made. Liu Cong equipped the army with them and established a special battalion, led by Deng.??Training.

    In the military camp outside Xiangyang City, the former thousand cavalry were stationed in Xinye and continued to be trained by Liu Pan.  The remaining 15,000 troops and horses were all given to Deng Ai's command.

    The troops and horses of the four counties in Jingnan were unified under the command of Liu Min. Except for the two thousand county soldiers left in each county, the rest were all gathered together and a large camp was established by the Xiangjiang River. No matter where a war broke out, they could quickly go there.  reinforce.

    The number of people is temporarily set at 10,000. Xiangyang will deliver weapons and armor, and the four counties will provide food and grass. They will handle the source of troops themselves.

    Liu Cong will naturally not arrange all this personally, and of course he has no time to take care of it.  Because this time, according to the order of their mother Cai, the two ladies took full possession of Liu Cong, locked him in the boudoir and refused to let him go out. They took turns attacking him because they had a mission and had to conceive a child.

    Liu Cong is out fighting all day long. If there is an accident and he is no longer left behind, both Cai and his two wives will become the sinners of the Liu family.

    "Damn it, you trash!" Liu Bei threw the wine glass on the desk in his tent, still unable to conceal the anger in his heart, "Cao Ren, you are such a trash, you can't even fight against a young kid!"

    Zhuge Liang came to the entrance of the camp and heard Liu Bei getting angry inside. He wanted to turn around and leave, but he felt it was wrong, so he finally bit the bullet and asked the soldiers to report it.

    "Kong Ming is here." Liu Bei seemed to be less angry.

    "My Lord, Xu Huang has already withdrawn his troops from Jianye. It is estimated that Cao Cao will withdraw his troops from Wu Commandery soon. The danger in Jiangdong has been resolved, and we should make plans."

    "Where else does Kong Ming think we can go?"

    "Yizhou!"

    "Yizhou, have we gone?"

    "Zhang Lu in Hanzhong showed signs of sending troops to Yizhou. Yizhou has sufficient food and grass and a strong army, but what it lacks are generals who can conquer and fight well. My lord and Liu Zhang are from the same lineage. If I write a letter, Liu Zhang will definitely welcome my lord to Sichuan.  At that time, we will look for opportunities to capture Hanzhong as a foothold to continue to compete with Cao Cao."

    "Then we leave, what will happen to Zilong?"

    "Liu Cong has now captured all of Jingzhou, and there is not much food and grass in Xiling City. Zilong cannot kill him at all, and we have no troops to support him."

    "I am so ashamed of Zilong!" Liu Bei looked up to the sky and sighed, extremely sad and angry.

    "My lord, a man can bend and stretch, but when it comes to breaking, he will break!"

    ¡°Forget it, I¡¯ll write a letter of resignation and ask Gongyou to go to Chengdu!¡±
