After a moment, Liu Jing quickly walked into the lobby and looked at Huang Zu who was sitting in the last row. Today, Liu Jing came to pay a visit to Liu Biao, but unexpectedly he happened to meet Huang Zu to report his work.

The two had already broken their faces. At this time, the enemy met and they were very jealous. Huang Zu's pupils contracted, his small eyes narrowed into a line, and his terrifying light flashed.

However, today Huang Zu made up his mind to meet with a low-key and humble attitude, so even in front of Liu Jing, he would not show his true face.

Huang Zu stood up, bowed his hands with a smile and said, "I didn't expect to meet Duke Jing here. I have always wanted to thank Duke Jing for repelling the Jiangdong Army in Chaisang and protecting Jiangxia. Please accept my gift."

After saying that, Huang Zu bowed deeply to Liu Jing.

Liu Jing smiled slightly and replied, "Chaisang's victory was not the result of Liu Jing's alone, but the result of the concerted efforts of the military and civilians of Chaisang. Huang Gong also came to help in time. Today, I, Liu Jing, would rather not have the merits, and I, as well as the great contributions of Huang Gong."

Huang Zu smiled, "Mr. Jing loves dogs, Huang Zu remembers them in his heart."

Everyone was surprised in the lobby. It was rumored that Liu Jing and Huang Zu were not in harmony. But today it seems that their relationship is not bad. They are humble and show each other's achievements. The relationship is very harmonious. It can be seen that the rumors cannot be believed.

Among the officials, only Cai Mao and Kuai Yue sneered.

No one knew the situation in front of them better than them. Jiang Xia was full of murderous intent and the war was about to break out. The two of them were polite on the surface and could not hide the crisis in front of them.

But Liu Biao had no expression on his face. He was observing Huang Zu from another angle. From Huang Zu's low posture today, especially being respectful to Liu Jingbei, Liu Biao understood Huang Zu's intention for this trip to Xiangyang.

Huang Zu wanted to reconcile with him and keep his position as Jiang Xia. Liu Biao sneered in his heart, "Reconciliation is not impossible, the key is what price Huang Zu has to pay."

Thinking of this, Liu Biao felt a sense of responsibility. Today, he could just take a look at the formalities of his work, without having to talk about substantive issues.

Liu Jing quickly walked into the lobby and bowed: "Liu Jing, the Marquis of Fancheng Army, met with the governor of the prefecture."

Liu Biao waved his hand, "Wu Liu Junhou please come up"

When Liu Biao saw his nephew, he was really happy. He repelled the attack of the Jiangdong Army for himself, and took advantage of the situation to seize Chaisang, changing the situation of Jiangxia. Otherwise, Huang Zu would not have come so low-key to confess his guilt today, and he wanted to reward Liu Jing well.

In fact, Liu Biao had a certain plan in his mind about how to reward Liu Jing. He even considered it before Liu Jing set out to Chaisang, but he didn't expect that Liu Jing's victory would come so quickly.

Liu Biao looked at Cai Mao, saw him with a nervous look, and then glanced at Huang Zu from afar. He also seemed quite restless and restless.

Liu Biao smiled and said to Cai Mao: "The military advisor thinks that the military marquis Liu Jing can be awarded the title of "

Liu Biao's question surprised many people. According to the normal process, military officials should be reading Liu Jing's achievements in public and rewarded according to Liu Biao's pre-written rewards. After reading, no one objected, so it was officially approved.

Today, if you don’t declare the merits or read the rewards, the governor of the state went directly to ask Cai Mao, which was really puzzling, but everyone soon realized that Liu Jing’s Battle of Chaisang was related to Huang Zu. It was extraordinary that the two of them appeared at the same time today. I’m afraid that Liu Jing’s reward would not be that simple.

There was silence in the hall, and countless pairs of eyes were staring at Cai Mao. Cai Mao did not expect Liu Biao to throw this problem to him, but this was also the opportunity that Liu Biao gave him.

Cai Mao pondered for a moment and said, "The assessment of military merits requires a process, such as how many enemies are killed and how big the war is, so that the accurate basis for evaluation can be obtained, the merits evaluated can be convinced, and the rewards can correspond to the merits..."

Cai Mao said this, but the Pin, who was sitting opposite him, was dissatisfied: "During the Battle of Xinye, the military advisor also said this, but Gong Jing's achievements were wiped out. Is this time the military advisor also intends to wipe out Gong Jing's achievements?"

Cai Mao's face suddenly sank and he said coldly: "I just talk about the matter and have no intention of erasing Gong Jing's achievements. Why do the general think so?"

He ignored him, stood up and bowed to Liu Biao, and said loudly: "I am responsible for the lord. As a general in the army, the key is to clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments and timely rewards and punishments. Only in this way can we mobilize morale and inspire the morale. In the battle of Xinye, Gong Jing clearly made great contributions, but he did not remember his achievements. Although Gong Jing was the nephew of the lord, he felt that it was inappropriate and did not accept it.

In this Battle of Chaisang, there were only five defenders in the city. Gong Jing stepped forward, recruited civilians and boosted morale. He defeated 20,000 Jiangdong Army with two thousand weak soldiers and protected the Jiangxia gate. Such achievements are not enough to give a heavy reward? Is the sincere words of humble officials, please think of the lord."

The atmosphere in the lobby was a bit awkward. Liu Biao just wanted to learn about Huang Zu's concession and then consider how to reward Liu Jing. Cai Mao's procrastination technique was just right for him, but he didn't expect that the recruitment was aggressive and he had to reward him on the spot, which made Liu Biao a little difficult.

At this time, Liu Jing bowed and said, "I reported to the provincial governor and military advisor. Beiyi did not fight for rewards, but for the people of Chaisang. In the battle of Chaisang, tens of thousands of people had money and made great efforts. Even the newly recruited civilians sacrificed their lives and fought hard to resist the Jiangdong Army. This made Beiyi deeply moved. Beiyi did not pay rewards. He just wanted to follow the public's wishes and continue to stay in Chaisang. He was willing to be the Marquis of Chaisang and ask the provincial governor for permission."

After saying that, Liu Jing took out a thick book from his arms and presented it with both hands, "I will report to the provincial governor, this is the public opinion."

A guard transferred the book to Liu Biao. Liu Biao took it, but it suddenly loosened and dragged it to the ground. It turned out that the book was folded. Liu Biao slowly spread the book, which was two feet long, and was pressed with fingerprints in front and back.

"There are a total of 8,666 fingerprints in the provincial governor, accounting for more than 90% of the people in Chaisang. Everyone hopes that the functions of Beiyi will remain in Chaisang. Beiyi will not be rewarded, but only begs to comply with the public's wishes and stay in Chaisang."

Liu Jing discussed with Kuai Yue last night that Huang Zu must have come to Xiangyang to make concessions and reconcile. With Liu Biao's character of having more strategy but lacking courage, he may accept Huang Zu's concessions.

If Huang Zu's concessions were large enough, Liu Biao might still maintain the status quo of Jiangxia and give up the plan to insert Liu Jing into Jiangxia, which made Liu Jing and Kuai Yue very worried.

So Liu Jing took this opportunity to make things clear today. He wanted to stay in Chaisang. This was his request. No matter how Liu Biao compromised with Huang Zu, his interests could not be violated.

There was a whispering in the lobby, but unexpectedly Liu Jing walked out of public opinion. Liu Biao felt a little embarrassed. He originally planned to put Liu Jing in Chaisang.

But Huang Zu's active concessions made Liu Biao's heart a little shaken. If Huang Zu was willing to hand over control of Jiangxia's army back to him, there was no need to fight for Chaisang again and maintain the status quo.

Now Liu Jing refuses to give up Chaisang, which makes Liu Biao feel a little embarrassed.

At this moment, Huang Zu, who was sitting down, finally couldn't help but smile and said: "Mr. Jing is a very good plan, 40,000 people from Chaisang, and there are actually 8,000 supporters of Mr. Jing. I, the old Jiangxia, admire me, so I am so impressed."

Liu Jing turned around suddenly and stared at Huang Zu, "Is Huang Shou saying I'm fake?"

"Of course I dare not say that King Jing was a fake, but I have been an official in Jiangxia for at least ten years. The Huang family is also a prominent family in Jiangxia. With my qualifications and only 50% of the fame in Chaisangsang, I don't know how King Jing's reputation has achieved 90% of the fame."

Huang Zu narrowed his eyes at him, with a look of mockery and disdain on his face. At the end, he deliberately raised his voice and glanced at everyone, trying to gain the understanding of the lobby officials.

"Of course this can be done"

Liu Jing also raised his voice and said coldly: "If Huang Shou had not bullied the nephew of a man and a domineering woman, nor would he have been cruel and fierce, he had killed people like a lot, nor had he been defeated repeatedly, and the five thousand troops were defeated. If Huang Shou could hold on to Chaisang instead of going to Xiakou, I think Huang Shou's reputation in Chaisang would not be only 50%, at least 70% or 80% or 80% or more."

Liu Jing's ridicule made Huang Zu's face swell into pig's liver. He finally showed anger in his eyes and shouted sternly: "Liu Jing, how dare you humiliate me so much?"

Liu Jing said lightly: "I am just explaining why Huang Shou's reputation cannot be improved. How can it be said to be humiliated? Why should Huang Shou be angry?"

Huang Zu glared at the eye and was about to scold him again. At this time, Cai Mao couldn't help but remind him: "Huang Shou, the lord will consider the reputation of Mr. Jing, so you should prepare for the report."

Cai Mao's words reminded Huang Zu that little impotence would cause trouble. He held it into his heart and slowly sat down.

The lobby became quiet again, and Liu Jing turned around and bowed to Liu Biao, continuing: "I don't ask for rewards for my humble position, I just hope to transfer to Chaisang and ask the provincial governor to fulfill his duties."

At this time, Pin also bowed and said, "Lord, I suggest you give Liu Jing the title of Sima of another department, guarding Chaisang, and Jing Gong guarding Chaisang, which is the most suitable."

Kuai Yue also stood up and smiled and said, "Chaisang is sandwiched between Jiangdong and Jingzhou. It has been changed several times for decades. According to subordinates, no official has obtained such high public expectations in decades. It is rare that the people of Chaisang fully support Jinggong. This is beneficial to our long-term control of Chaisang. Lord, the opportunity should not be spared. Jinggong should be allowed to guard Chaisang."

Wang Wei also stood up and said, "Lord, I agree with the suggestion of Kuai Gong and General. The important land of Chaisang cannot be defended by Gong Jing, as long as he is here, the Jiangdong Army will definitely be afraid of the division."

As soon as Wang Wei finished speaking, Deng Yi, the governor, also said loudly: "Mr. Jing is the one who wants to guard Chaisang, and his subordinates agree with it and beg the lord to allow it."

At this time, Liu Xian, Pang Ji and others expressed their support, and the lobby was one-sided, and even Cai Mao was forced to remain silent and dared not compete with everyone.

Although Liu Biao was still hesitant, he could not resist the unanimous support of everyone, so he had to smile at Liu Jing and said, "It seems that if you don't ban you today, no one will let me go. It's better that the public will be angry. Liu Jing listened to the ban."

Liu Jing was overjoyed and stepped forward to salute, saying, "I am humble in my position."

Liu Biao said slowly: "Military Marquis Liu Jing led two thousand weak brigades to defeat the Jiangdong Army, promoted the power of our Jingzhou, protected our important town in Chaisang, and made great contributions to Jingzhou. He specially rewarded a thousand taels of gold. He was appointed as the Sima of another department, guarded Chaisang, and served as the magistrate of Chaisang County."

Liu Jing bowed his fists and said, "Thank you for the reward of the provincial governor, remember the humble duties in your heart."
