next day The sun rises in the east, and the golden sunshine shines on the earth.
The water droplets on the leaves and grass blades also sparkled under the sunlight, sliding down from the leaves and dripping on the ground.
Due to the heavy rain all night, the air everywhere became very fresh, except for Jingzhou City. squeak The people in the city opened the door, and the air in the city did not become fresh because of the rain, but had a bloody smell.
The battle went on for most of the night, and they also spent the night in fear, without getting a good rest at all.
In the air mixed with the smell of blood, they could feel how much blood had been shed in the city last night.
However, just when he pushed the door open and wanted to step out, he seemed to be frightened and shrank back.
I saw that under the eaves of every house, there were some soldiers in armor, holding weapons, leaning against the wall, huddled and resting.
You can also see the dried blood stains on some of the tattered armors of the soldiers, mixed with some soil.
Some of the faces were covered with blood stains, but they were not wiped off, and they just rested tightly.
Step, step, step Suddenly, on every street where soldiers were resting under the eaves of private houses, there was a general galloping over on horseback. appeal The general pulled the horse, looked at the soldiers who were still resting, and shouted: "Gather" The soldiers who were sleeping under the eaves woke up one after another because of the shout.
One after another, they stood up, adjusted their armor, walked out of the eaves, walked to the street, and lined up neatly.
Seeing that the soldiers were assembled, the general on horseback shouted: "Leave the city and return to the camp." brush The soldiers did not hesitate and followed the general on horseback towards the outside of the city with neat steps.
The common people looked at the neat groups of soldiers marching towards the outside of the city with neat steps, with many emotions in their eyes.
Moreover, the armor on these soldiers was not the armor of the Jingzhou Army.
It was obvious that they surrounded Jingzhou City during the day yesterday.
The enemy troops were victorious.
However, I was secretly relieved to see that these soldiers had no intention of infringing upon civilians like them.
After all, it was normal for people to burn, kill, and loot after breaking through the city.
After the streets completely returned to calm and the soldiers left, the people in the city walked out of their houses, and the streets slowly became lively.
After all, who manages the city does not have much to do with them, as long as they are not oppressing and harming them.
City Lord's Mansion, in the meeting hall.
Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Wenpin, Gan Ning, Guo Jia, Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue and others sat on both sides, but none of them spoke, and the atmosphere seemed a bit dull.
Liu Qi sat on the main seat, and Liu Cong stood in the center.
The two just looked at each other without saying a word.
In such a scene, Zhao Yun and others could only remain silent.
Although Liu Cong had participated in the Jingzhou coup before, he also helped them open the city gate last night.
It is up to Liu Qi to decide how to deal with it.
They are not suitable.
Get involved. a long time "What do you want me to do?"
Liu Qi said.
Liu Cong smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, haven't you made a decision?"
"Indeed."
Liu Qi nodded, without denying it, and continued: "Actually, to be honest, in the previous incident, Xiao Wu, who had been following me for a long time, and four guards died in the battle.
I have never killed you. idea" Liu Cong's eyes were a little flustered, but he didn't say anything.
After all, this was a fact and a fact that couldn't be changed.
Zhao Yun and others were a little surprised, but did not speak.
"However, it is an undeniable fact that you and I share the same blood and were born from the same mother.
Moreover, my father also asked me, so I am going to send you to my father.
What do you plan to do in the future?
It's your own," Liu Qi said lightly.
"Thank you, brother," Liu Cong said with cupped hands.
After experiencing some things, he is no longer as ignorant as before and understands the meaning of Liu Qi's words.
"Go out and get ready," Liu Qi waved.
Liu Cong saluted Liu Qi, then turned around and walked out.
When he was about to step out of the door, he turned to look at Liu Qi and said, "Brother, I will not let you down again in the future."

Then without waiting for Liu Qi's answer, he walked out.
"Alas" Liu Qi sighed.
He did have the idea of killing Liu Cong, but after all, Liu Cong was this body's biological brother, and as a descendant, he really couldn't deny it. matter.
"Lord" Guo Jia said worriedly.
"I'm fine."
Liu Qi waved his hand and asked, "Have all the arrangements for the soldiers in the city been made?"
We fought in the middle of the night last night, and we were fighting in the rain.
Our physical strength was exhausted quickly.
Moreover, the city guards were stationed in the prisons, and there were also some cleared mansions where many wounded soldiers were housed.
In addition to guarding the prisoners, and The patrolling soldiers and the soldiers guarding the city could only rest on the streets.
"In accordance with the Lord's instructions, some generals have led the soldiers back to the camp outside the city to station themselves," Guo Jia said.
Liu Qi nodded, looked at Zhao Yun, and asked: "What were the casualties of our army in the battle last night?"
"Back to my lord, our army suffered more than 8,000 casualties, killed nearly 20,000 enemy troops, and captured more than 10,000 prisoners.
No enemy troops escaped from the city," Zhao Yun replied.
This is also the reason why the enemy gave up resistance after Liu Cong and Kuai Mansion opened the city gates and Cai Hao and Cai He died in battle.
Otherwise, if there was a real forcible attack on the city, the loss would be at least one to one, and possibly one to two.
In that case Even if Jingzhou City is captured, it will be very troublesome to stabilize it.
After all, Jiangxia and Nanyang are eyeing it.
Liu Qi pondered for a moment and said: "If the more than 10,000 prisoners are willing to be reorganized, they will rush into the army.
If they are not willing, they will be let go."
This is also the best way to deal with prisoners.
It is impossible for him to keep a group of useless people.
"Nuo" Zhao Yun said with cupped hands.
"In this way, military affairs will be handled by Zilong, Hansheng, and Wenchang; government affairs will be handled by Fengxiao, Zirou, and Yidu; Zhongye will rest for a day and then return to Jingbei; Xingba Bring someone to escort my second brother back to Guangxin, and then pick up my wife."
After Liu Qi gave the order, he stood up, raised his hands to everyone, and said: "The stability of Jingzhou's new settlement depends on you all."
"I will live up to my lord's trust," everyone said in unison as they also stood up and bowed their hands.
The two brothers Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue also joined Liu Qi.
Now Liu Qi directly handed over the government affairs of Jingzhou to their two brothers.
Although Guo Jia was still there, this was also a trust in them.
He felt that he decided to put his treasure in Liu Qi's hands.
He did nothing wrong.
Liu Qi nodded.
He would just have to deal with some big things, and leave the rest to his subordinates.
This would make the best use of the resources, and would not prevent others from being able to display their talents, nor make himself too tired
