Liu Pan's words surprised the people below, and it could even be said to be a little scared. The second young master Liu Pan was so cruel. Originally, Liu Biao was angry and wanted to drag Wenpin down and chop it down, but as long as someone begs for mercy, he would naturally save his life. But now it seems that Mr. Liu Pan doesn't want Wenpin to survive.

Zhuge Kongming is Zhuge Kongming and Wenpin, which is completely different. But now Liu Pan has tied the two people together. Zhuge Kongming has rebelled, but he can't get involved with Wenpin. Zhuge Kongming came out of Lumen Academy. If you want to settle the score, you have to find someone from Lumen Academy. Some officials from Lumen Academy over there are silent. These students from Lumen Academy don't have much contact with these military generals and husbands on weekdays, let alone join forces to rebel.

If the two of them united and rebelled, would he be stupid? He has to come back and run to Liu Ping, isn’t this asking for death?

So as long as you can calm down and think about it, everyone knows that this Wenpin has nothing to do with Zhuge Kongming.

But the key is that Liu Biao is just angry now. If Liu Pan said this, Liu Biao's eyes would be filled with murderous intent.

"Lord, don't listen to the words of the second son's family. General Wenpin is loyal to his lord. Since the lord entered Jingzhou, General Wenpin has been serving for his lord. How could General Wenpin betray him (Lord! " Huang She knelt down at Liu Biao and held his fists and pleaded for Wenpin.

"Haha, who knows this? You know people but not your heart! Zhuge Kongming was recommended by Mr. Shui Jing and Pang Gong. Now he betrayed me Jingzhou!" Liu Pan continued to say that he was going to Wenpin to death. Who made Wenpin block his way?

Wen Pin glanced at Liu Pan over there. He didn't know how he offended Liu Pan, and why the second young master was in a dilemma with him everywhere.

"My lord, we are wronged, we are wronged! We really don't know that Zhuge Kongming would betray! Master, we admit that we were defeated and then came to pretend to be good at military merits, but we really have no intention of betraying the lord!" Several lieutenants over there were told the truth when they were scared by Liu Pan.

You said they dared to take advantage of military merits, but they really didn't dare to betray their master Liu Biao. Zhuge Kongming only had one sister in Jingzhou. This sister was still a member of the Huang family, and there was a Lumen Academy behind him. So Liu Biao was not easy to move her, but they were different. They were just ordinary lieutenants. The whole family was all in Jingzhou. If he was really charged with treason, he would have to implicate the whole family and die with him.

So they all surrounded the Yangzhou navy on the Yangtze River. They were about to take down the Yangzhou navy. After the army was in trouble, there was an internal strife in the army. After that, the fire broke out. Not only were they burned and the entire army was wiped out, but even Sun Ce from Jiangdong was in trouble. They were afraid that the lord Liu Biao would be punished, so they ran to Jingzhou in advance through some clues, trying to seek credit for Liu Biao before Zhuge Liang to offset the failure of the entire army's annihilation.

Originally, everything came steadily according to their ideas, and even Liu Biao was about to expand their army of 50,000. But who would have thought that Zhuge Kongming would actually betrayal?

"Zhongye!" Liu Biao also slowly relieved his emotions in the plea of ​​these individuals. If Wen Pin beg for mercy for him, then Liu Biao would shirk responsibility or other reasons because Wen Pin explained that Liu would become more angry, and in the end Wen Pin could not escape death. However, Wen Pin is now determined to die, which made Liu Biao hesitate.

Seeing Liu Biao seemingly shaken, Liu Pan next to him was anxious, "Father, the Yangzhou thief army is imminent. If you don't kill Wenpin for a day, our Jingzhou army will be uneasy all day long. How can we resist the enemy?"

"Lord, Wen Pin is our general. Only by killing General Wen Pin will our morale be shaken. This will only cause lightness to hurt the enemy. I am afraid that the one who laughs the happiestly is the Yangzhou thief army!" Huang She continued to speak.

"Come on!" Liu Biao was very weak, especially after vomiting blood, so he didn't want to listen to the two of them quarrel. He had already made a decision.

"My lord think twice!" Huang She looked at Liu Biao's impatient expression and couldn't help but panic. If Wen Pin was really killed, everything would be over.

"Father, let it be cut off!" Liu Pan just thought of killing Wen Pin now to avoid long nights of dreams.

"The person who came here dragged me out to take the military achievements and defeated me to kill the morale of the army!"

Liu Pan's face clearly showed joy, "In addition to Wen Pin, Wen Pin was imprisoned for me and wait for me to finish!"

Wen Pin was already overjoyed when he was not dead. Although Wen Pin could not lead the troops, as long as Wen Pin was not dead, there would be a chance.

"Thank you for not killing me!" Wen Pin himself didn't want to die. He now realized that all this was Zhuge Liang's plan. Zhuge Military Advisor and Wen Pin planned it. Wen Pin kept a sense of resentment towards Zhuge Liang, and he wanted to ask Zhuge Liang why he betrayed Jingzhou.

"Thank you, lord!" Several lieutenants behind Wenpin also thanked Liu Biao, because although they were dead, their guilt was not a rebellion. If they were rebellious, then the whole family would not be able to escape. Although it was a death sentence, it was a death sentence for the sake of military merits, at least one person died, and it did not implicate his family.

"Father!" Liu Pan still didn't give up and wanted to say something to Liu Biao.

Liu Biao waved his hand, "The matter of the 50,000 army is urgent. It must be formed within two months. Some military supplies will be taken from the Xiangyang treasury. My son will take this position as commander first!"

After saying this, Liu Pan was also satisfied. What he had always wanted was military power. Although he had not been able to obtain tens of thousands of elite soldiers in front of Jiangxia, with Liu Biao's words, it is naturally no problem to form 50,000 soldiers and horses, all the cost of forming 50,000 soldiers has the support of the Jingzhou treasury.

There were 50,000 more soldiers and horses, plus 20,000 in his hands, Liu Pan immediately had 70,000 military power, and became the general with the most military power in Jingzhou in one fell swoop. Even Huang Zu and Cai Mao were a little inferior to him.

"I'm tired! Let's end the meeting!" Liu Biao just coughed up blood, and the doctor next to him also said that Liu Biao was weak. Although he coughed up blood this time, it was fine because it was blood stasis in his heart. Liu Biao was always holding up anger because of Mrs. Cai's affairs, and his tone surged upwards on the chest. If the blood stasis could not be lowered, something big would happen sooner or later.

This time, vomiting blood was to vomit the blood stasis for him, which was beneficial to the body. However, the doctor also said that he needed to recuperate and could no longer get liver fire. If he had a lot of liver fire, he might be in a hurry to die.

"Great sends you to the lord!" Seeing Liu Biao's departure, Liu Pan wanted to go up to show his filial son, but was stopped by Liu Biao waved his hand. The pressure of Yangzhou's army made Jingzhou breathless now. The most urgent task is to form troops to resist the subsequent invasion of Yangzhou.

So let Liu Pan go to the military first.

Liu Pan saw Liu Biao leave and then got up. Liu Pan said, "Young Master Huang Shooting, this military power is still in my hands!" Huang Shooting was next to Liu Pan.

Huang She's face was ashen. He saved Wen Pin just to prevent Liu Pan from gaining military power. But now it is obvious that Liu Pan is proud, "Don't be too happy too early! The lord is just asking you to temporarily replace military power. Don't train 50,000 troops and the last commander is not you!" Huang She also turned her lips and looked at each other without any disadvantage.

"Hmph, let's go and see!" Liu Pan snorted coldly. Indeed, the temporary generation that Liu Biao said made Liu Pan very uncomfortable and made others have more fantasies.

Liu Panhuang Shooting and the two of them were glaring at each other and left.

...

In the Yangtze River, the Jiangxia Navy warships... No. Now it should be said to be the Yangzhou Navy warships. Although the new warships of the Yangzhou Navy have not been fully equipped into the entire Yangzhou Navy, these surrendered Jiangxia soldiers have already taken down the Jingzhou flag on the ship and replaced them with the Yangzhou Navy flag.

The leader of this was Lu Xun, but the general below was Huo Jun. Li Yan was left in Lujiang. Li Yan liked to be a civil servant who governed the place even more. So Zhuge Liang recommended it to Chen Gong. Chen Gong also gave Zhuge Liang face and taught Shucheng to Li Yan to manage. If he did a good job, Chen Gong would send Li Yan to Yangzhou. Now there are still lacks such civil servants who are independent in Yangzhou.

Huo Jun looked at the hard-working Yangzhou navy above the Yangtze River and couldn't help but look in a daze.

"What are General Huo Jun looking at?" Just as Huo Jun was still stunned, a young general walked to Huo Jun's side.

Huo Jun then reacted and immediately clasped his fists at the visitor and said, "General Lu!"

"No need to be polite!" Lu Xun shook his head and stopped Huo Jun from being polite to him. Although his official position is much higher than Huo Jun, Lu Xun wanted to learn something from Huo Jun. What Lu Xun lacks is experience, and these are all Huo Jun has.

"What General Huo is so fascinating!" Lu Xun continued to ask.

"Me!" Huo Jun replied as Lu Xun's inquiry, "I'm looking at those Jiangxia soldiers!"

"Look at the soldiers?" Lu Xun was a little surprised. These Jiangxia navy soldiers were all your former subordinates, so what was good about them?

"I'm wondering why they work so hard. And you can see everyone's face, it has changed a lot!" After Huo Jun conquered Yangzhou, he was worried about one thing, that is, whether these Jiangxia soldiers would be dissatisfied with the hearts, whether they would mutiny, and whether they would not get along well with the new robe.

But all this seems to be a joke now, because these Jiangxia navy soldiers were not at all dissatisfied, but were full of energy. Now Huo Jun is confused that these are really his Jiangxia soldiers? They have been replaced, otherwise why did they have such a deep sense of belonging after just a few days of surrender.

"Haha, it turns out that Zhong Miao is thinking about this!" Lu Xun next to him found a seat and sat down. "Zhong Miao, you once told me that Mr. Zhuge treats Zhong Miao as a national scholar, and Zhong Miao, you also repay him with national scholars!" Huo Jun was initiated by Zhuge Liang. When Zhuge Liang started Huo Jun, Huo Jun was just a small city gate official guarding the city gate. If it was a big city gate like Xiangyang, the city gate captain commanded thousands of troops, while Huo Jun was commanding only a small county town.

Because Zhuge Liang looked down on him, Huo Jun brought Huo Jun into the official career, Huo Jun did not disappoint Zhuge Liang's entrustedness and made Zhuge Liang do things beautifully. Therefore, for Zhuge Liang, Li Yan regarded Zhuge Liang as his boss, while Huo Jun regarded Zhuge Liang as his master, and he regarded himself as a retainer of the Zhuge family.

"The same soldiers have the same idea as you Zhong Miao!" Lu Xun said with a smile to Huo Jun.

"National Scholar?" Huo Jun frowned. Zhuge Liang used Huo Jun not because he valued Huo Jun or others, but because Huo Jun was really capable, so Zhuge transferred Huo Jun from a city gate captain and became the general of the current ten thousand generals. But what abilities do these ordinary Jiangxia soldiers have?

"Although Mr. Zhuge treats Zhong Miao as a national scholar, he actually gives you something!"

"What?" Huo Jun asked.

"Dignity!" Lu Xun smiled at Huo Jun and said, "The dignity of living alone!" Did Lu Xun stand up and point to the huge fleet on the Yangtze River. "And my Yangzhou also gave these Jiangxia soldiers dignity and a dignity to survive!"

In this troubled times, the lives of soldiers were just a number to the generals and princes. When a consumable was used up, it was just a summoning. Liu Biao lost the Jiangxia navy. The first reaction was to summon troops instead of thinking about the pensions of these Jiangxia soldiers.

The Yangzhou Army is different. Every soldier who joins the Yangzhou Army must be registered. According to the number of people, each person will receive the fertile land distributed by the army. If there are family members, then the distribution will be more. One person will be honored for the whole family. In Yangzhou, there are very few taxes. This is not the key. The key is that if you win a great victory, you will be rewarded according to your merits. If you die, you will be given a pension. Not only will you compensate your family, but you will also arrange your spiritual position in the Hall of Heroes. In this way, if you are disabled, the disabled soldiers will be given directly to other princes. If you are more kind, let them die on their own, and if you are more cruel, you will be killed directly.

The disabled people in the Yangzhou army were also arranged. Those who could do things should be arranged as much as possible. Those who could not do things should be allowed to recuperate at home, and they would receive monthly salary until they died. The Yangzhou government was responsible for it.

So in this way, these ordinary soldiers will get the dignity that a person should have, not just the numbers on paper of the princes.

Will the treatment of Yangzhou make these Jiangxia navy members feel no sense of belonging? In addition, the predecessor of the Yangzhou navy was originally formed by a part of the Jiangxia navy. So when those fellow villagers say that, they convinced these newly joined Jiangxia navy members.

It is precisely because of this that the Jiangxia naval army quickly integrated into the Yangzhou naval army. Anyway, whether they were killed in battle or alive, there were government officials who helped to take care of their funerals afterwards, and all they had to think about was to fight.

"Is this worth doing it?" Huo Jun was a little confused. The casualties in this battle are naturally inevitable. The number of deaths will only increase. If everyone is pensioned, how much money and food will be needed? I'm afraid these pensions will be a huge amount every year.

"Haha, His Highness the King of Shu once said that even if we living people do not eat or drink, we must send the pension money of the sacrificed soldiers to the hands of the orphans and widows. This is our responsibility and our commitment to these soldiers! We must take good care of their widows and orphans!" Lu Xun said to Huo Jun.

To be honest, Liu Mang's pension system is a very common thing in reality. It has it in every country. In the United States, the pension of a soldier is even more expensive than an advanced missile aircraft. Therefore, they can consume tons of arms and are unwilling to sacrifice soldiers. If they can be solved with artillery shells, they will never use heads.

However, such an ordinary pension system now seems to be a decision that is ridiculed and stupid enough to be foolish, because the number of deaths has increased significantly. Although Yangzhou has only one state for the expansion of the army in recent years, there are 100,000 people who have died in the past few years. If the pension for these individuals is really taken out, a new army of 50,000 people can be formed. Therefore, the princes all said that the Yangzhou army is a fool.

But only Liu Mang knew that they did not do a loss-making business. Although the pensions posed a huge threat to Yangzhou's finances the more they went on, one thing is certain, that is, the sense of belonging of the soldiers will become deeper and deeper.

The concept of Yangzhou Army has long been engraved in their minds. They know why they are fighting and fighting for their families and relatives in Yangzhou. The pension system has left them without worries, so they can work harder on the battlefield.

This has led to why many soldiers and horses in Yangzhou have been killed in battle, but few surrenders or even fewer. The punishment for the traitor Yangzhou is very heavy. Not only are the family members taken back to the fields, but they are also traitor's signs. Those who are looked down upon by the villagers will definitely not be able to raise their heads for the rest of their lives. Their sons and daughters are not even qualified to enter school.

Such a price is something these soldiers cannot afford.

Therefore, the Yangzhou army can fight harder and become an army faster. The symbol of an elite soldier is not afraid of death. Generally speaking, if the loss of 20% of the soldiers and horses is a common soldier, and if the 30% of the soldiers and horses are defeated, the elite soldier is. If the battle is not dispersed, the ace soldiers and horses are retreating.

However, few Yangzhou soldiers and horses were dispersed and surrendered, and they were also unwilling to be captured even if they died in battle. Liu Mang, a soldier of ten thousand people, had several times the combat effectiveness of the others, and as soon as the pension for the soldiers was offset, the Yangzhou army was immediately shown.

"What about the people's hearts and the military spirit?" Huo Jun was not a fool, so he naturally saw the essence of it, that is, Liu Mang captured people's hearts and let you see the benefits.

"You can say that!" Lu Xun said with a smile.

"I understand!" Huo Jun took a deep breath and finally knew why the military advisor Zhuge joined the Yangzhou naval army. Those who win the hearts of the people won the world. King Liu Mang of Shu gave these people the dignity and gave them the possibility of survival. Once someone wanted to destroy this kind of life, there was no need to say that King Liu Mang of Shu. These current Yangzhou people would not bypass them. Such an army would not be powerful.

"Report to report to General Shi Yang is ahead!" The messenger ran over and spoke to Huo Jun and Lu Xun.

"We understand!" Huo Jun and Lu Xun nodded. The Shiyang Water Village in front of him was right in front of him. Take Shiyang and march into the Jiangling generation in Jingzhou.

"It's bad, it's bad! The enemy is coming, the enemy is coming!" Shiyang City was panicked. Shiyang City is not big. It's just a county town of the Jiangxia Army, but his water village is not small, because it is a major road for transporting food and supplies from Jingzhou to Jiangxia, and it is also an important entrance on the Yangtze River Waterway.

Guarding in Shiyang City is an official surnamed Jiang, named Jiang, Ye.

"Sir, run, run!" The county magistrate above Shiyang City shouted to the county magistrate. Some days ago, someone fled back from Jiangxia and said that the Jiangxia army had rebelled, and the lord Liu Biao had changed to the Yangzhou navy.

Before this, the enemy who rebelled was about to come to his sight. The Yangtze River ahead was full of warships. Zhuge Kongming's plan for Chen Gong was to take Jiujiang but no longer attack Jiangdong. It was enough to leave some soldiers guarding the city in Jiujiang. Instead, he turned the bow of the ship and tried his best to recover Jiangxia's hinterland in attacking Jingzhou. Because Jingzhou is rich and Jiangdong is a pauper. Even if you attack Jiangdong again, you can't find a few drops of oil and water. If you were rich, Sun Ce would have expanded his army long ago. It's still time to wait! Then, you can't get anything if you fight with Jiangdong's army at that time!

It is possible that even if the money for food and grass cannot be recovered, it will be a loss, but Jingzhou is different. Jingzhou is so rich that Liu Biao may not have much money in the war in recent years, but the gentry of Jingzhou is different. If you take down the city of Jingzhou, the Yangzhou army will have military expenditure, food and grass, and even the money for building new warships. This is the meaning of Zhuge Liang. Once the war moves, the goods must be collected. We cannot do the business that loses money. Only 35,000 naval troops can be regarded as the entire army being dispatched, and hundreds of warships naturally make people feel numb.

It was completely just that the county lieutenant could not raise the idea of ​​resisting.

"If you want to leave, please go!" The county magistrate Jiang said to the county magistrate beside him. "I have the responsibility to defend the territory!"

"The county magistrate has reminded him that the county magistrate also smiled bitterly. Yes, they also have the responsibility to defend the territory. If they just run away like this, even if they return to Jingzhou, they will be settled in the future. Maybe they can be killed as a typical example. How can they be arranged by such a fat man like Hanyang? If they think about it, there may be no hope for becoming an official.

"Or, or, Lord Jiang, let's surrender!" The county magistrate thought of a way to surrender. As long as he surrendered, he naturally didn't have to think about the old master who killed himself in anger, nor did he think about the responsibility of losing his territory. Even if you surrender, the enemy will still let you continue to be an official when he is happy.

"Yes, yes! Lord Jiang, the enemy is powerful, we should not fight head-on and take action slowly!" The county magistrate next to him also spoke. Who would be willing to die? Although the chief clerk did not speak, he was also very moved.

"Hmph? Surrender?" The county magistrate thought he could get the support of the county master, but he didn't expect that the county magistrate snorted with disdain. "I have read the books of sages and have been merciless and merciful, so I have praised the kindness of filial piety and integrity as a spring to repay them. What's more, when I actually thought of surrender, I was ashamed to walk with you and other villains!" Lord Jiang looked at the county magistrate next to him coldly.

"I, I!" This county lieutenant is also depressed. What is a villain? Those who know the current affairs are heroes. The people who are unlucky in this battle are the people. If you surrender, the people will naturally be spared. Moreover, his county lieutenant is also for your own good. It is basically impossible for you to resist. Hundreds of warships on the other side have been ready to continue. They are waiting for the order to attack Shiyang. Are you relying on the hundreds of old, weak, sick and disabled people in the city?

Even if you go back to Xiangyang despite the disaster, this loss of land will be like a knife. If you die before and after, you might as well surrender, but now you are called a villain.
To be continued...
