Chapter 789

Liu Bu was very grateful to Ziqing. If he hadn't come to save her, it would be a blessing or a curse. After he kissed her, he said, "it's all up to you to save my life today. What reward do you want?"

Ziqing said, "you are my husband. It's right to protect you and save you. I don't dare to ask for any reward."

Having said that, what should be rewarded is still rewarded. In the battle of Xiangyang, Li Dingguo's military merit is the first; Purple green second; Fei Yangguang third, Li Dingguo received many awards, and Ziqing also received many awards. The awards are mainly based on property. Although she does not lack that property, it is also a gesture and must be done.

Liu Bu knows that even the empress of the royal family's back palace will be rewarded by the emperor if she performs meritorious deeds. If she makes a mistake, she will be punished. The reward and punishment will be clear, which is the way she will never change.

Liu Bu thought for a moment. He said, "didn't you say you have no residence or home? Xiangwang mansion will give you a reward as your residence?"

Ziqing is really a little stunned. If Liu Bu rewards her with a luxury house, a house or more money and food, she doesn't think it's strange. The Liu family has a lot of such material assets, but Liu Bu rewards her with a royal palace. It's too heavy. She quickly said, "no, it's too heavy."

Liu Bu said, "that's just a meaning. The palace is not where our Lord lives, that is, it's a temporary business. You can receive a reward?"

When Liu Bu said this, Ziqing whispered, "thank you“

It's normal for people who don't have a home to want a home. Now they finally have one.

Although they are husband and wife, they are still distinguished from each other in terms of dignity and inferiority. Even in terms of husband and wife relations, Liu Bu is far higher than her in terms of official positions.

Liu bu also has a more important identity, that is, as the future crown prince of the Chinese Empire, his status is higher. No matter who is in front of him, he is basically a king and others are ministers.

Although Liu Jia only started as a small official, he also talked about the rules. He should pay attention to them. No rules can be achieved.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang, the cowherd boy, regarded the rules and etiquette as bigger than heaven, let alone the Liu family.

In the middle of the night, Liu Bu was in no mood to sleep again. The night was long and there was nothing else. When he saw Ziqing's graceful posture, he whispered with a smile: "you have made great achievements today, let Ben Shuai give you more benefits?"

On the third day of the lunar new year, Liu Zhongyong's army arrived.

Liu Zhongyong's vanguard troops arrived here because they slowed down. If they made all-out raids, they would have arrived on the second day of junior high school.

After hearing that Zhu Xieyuan's army had retreated to the north, they didn't have to go all out to see the progress, but walked slowly.

Originally, their task was to rush to Xiangyang and defeat Zhu Xieyuan's army.

Now that Zhu Xieyuan's army has retreated, whether they will support Xiangyang or chase the enemy has to be ordered by Liu bu. Liu Bu decides to let them come to Xiangyang first and rest for a while.

Liu Bu boarded the tower of Xiangyang City and watched his majestic army enter the city. During the Chinese new year, the army still marched everywhere, and the people and horses were exhausted. They also needed a good rest. Although this would bring great pressure on the local military supply, the feelings of the troops must be taken into account.

You know, they came all the way to rescue Xiangyang. It's impossible to send people away without letting them come in to have a rest and drinking a mouthful of water.

Liu Bu knew that doing so would make people complain.

This army, all of them elite soldiers, has nearly 20000 people. The troops advance along the official path. They take the iron cavalry as the front, followed by the infantry. The dust and smoke can be seen ten miles away. The momentum is very huge.

Liu Zhongyong, commander-in-chief of the army, is also a commander-in-chief of the Chinese army at the same level as Liu bu. According to their original plan, Huguang was entrusted to him.

It was just that demons such as Zhu Xieyuan appeared temporarily and disrupted their plans. This was the only way to let Liu Bu do it.

Liu Bu is now a national killer. He won't make a move easily until the moment of life and death. Once he makes a move, it means that something big will happen.

Liu Zhongyong's arrival has made their strength more sufficient. They have enough troops to pursue Zhu Xieyuan in the north or March to Sichuan in the West.

Liu Bu now plans how to use this army, which is reasonable and appropriate.

Liu Zhongyong's arrival was warmly welcomed by Liu bu. They were placed in the military camp in the city and rewarded a large number of food and property for them to have a good rest.

Only after sufficient rest and adequate supplies can a force maintain its rich combat effectiveness, even Liu Jiajun is no exception.

They have done their best to rush to Xiangyang as quickly as possible. If they are allowed to chase and kill Zhu Xieyuan, it will be a hard work in vain.

Liu Zhongyong paid homage to Liu BU with a big ceremony, and the three armed forces saluted together. The momentum was very great. Liu Bu enjoyed the cheering scene of the three armed forces.

Liu Zhongyong's age in the army is older than that of Liu Yuanqiao. His qualifications in the army are also quite high. He has made great contributions to the success of the Chinese army.

However, from the very beginning, he decided to be the master and servant. Today, Liu's general trend has become great. He must salute Liu Bu as the Lord, or it will be disrespectful.

Liu Bu didn't dare to be vague about this. First set the name, and everything can be handled with a reasonable name. If the other party doesn't accept it, they will fight until they are satisfied. Now they are working with Daming because of the name.

Of course, this also has something to do with Liu Zhongyong's obedience to Liu bu. Liu Zhongyong never thought that the little rookie he brought with him would be so powerful today. His achievements in the past few years in the army are even greater than those made by Liu Zhongyong for decades. Liu Zhongyong has been mixed for so long, and he can't get ahead or get the name of a god of war.

After Liu Zhongyong's Department entered Xiangyang City, Liu Bu began to call several generals under his department to discuss major plans.

The main thing is Liu Zhongyong, how to dispatch this army.

At present, they have enough troops to defend Xiangyang, and there is still a surplus. It is estimated that Zhu Xieyuan is no matter how brave and powerful he is, he does not dare to attack Xiangyang City guarded by Liubu town. His soldiers and resources are far from enough to support him.

Originally, he was worried about the problem of eating, drinking and Lhasa for these 100000 people and horses, as well as the problem of where they should go. After the defeat of the second Yiling war, Zhu Xieyuan stripped off his halo, just like a stripped Phoenix, revealing his bare ass, not even a chicken.

After unanimous discussion, we decided that Liu Zhongyong's department would withdraw from Wuchang immediately after taking a rest and strive to win Wuchang mansion and unify the whole lake and Canton.

Sichuan is very important, and it is also very important to deal with Zhu Xieyuan, but the more important thing is to unify their internal forces, stabilize their rear areas, and deal with the enemy after there are no worries.

Although Wuchang Prefecture is besieged and has been cut off from external contact, it is still in the hands of the Ming Dynasty. The officials in the city continue to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty and wait for the arrival of reinforcements.

Liu Zhongyong planned to capture the city in three months, but the emergence of Zhu Xieyuan disrupted his plan. Now it is time for him to resume his plan.

Liu Bu said to Liu Zhong, "if he Tengjiao, who is guarding Wuchang mansion, is willing to surrender, he will have fame and wealth. If he dares to resist, all the officials will be executed on the day of city coercion."

The Chinese army went out of Huguang this time and went all out to attack Huguang. They expected to win Wuchang house and unify Huguang soon. However, he Tengjiao's resistance in Wuchang house was unexpectedly tenacious. The army and people in the city were united as one and joined hands to resist the invasion of the Chinese army.

Of course, their resistance is futile under the hammer of Huaxia village, because their strength is too weak. They are mainly old, weak, sick and disabled, and their weapons and equipment are very backward. They are not the opponents of the tiger and wolf division of Huaxia army at all. It is only a matter of time to be attacked.

This time, Zhu Xieyuan's raid on Xiangyang won them time, but even Zhu Xieyuan had to flee North in the face of the military front of the Chinese army, which means that in the short term, they will have no reinforcements, at least no heavy army group that can fight the Chinese army. If they come, they will come in vain.

In the past, he Tengjiao and others could still hope that Zhu Xieyuan's army would arrive, cooperate inside and outside, and repel the enemy, but now that Zhu Xieyuan's army has been defeated, they should not dare to think about these things any more.

Liu Bu has just made cruel remarks to force these people to surrender. If they refuse to surrender at this point, don't blame the Chinese army for turning its face and killing all of them.

Liu Bu made cruel remarks in public. This was the order. Liu Zhongyong and others quickly shouted that after a meeting, they basically decided the whereabouts of Liu Zhongyong's army. They still focused on stability and pushed forward in an orderly manner according to the previous plan.

Liu Bu was also thinking that they must speed up the pace of the founding of the people's Republic of China. When the founding of the people's Republic of China, they must take down the main areas of the whole south, unify the whole south, integrate the resources of the whole south, and then compete with the Daming in the north.

At present, Daming in the north is in dire straits. It is getting weaker and weaker day by day. On the contrary, time is beneficial to the Chinese army and not to Daming. Therefore, Liu Bu dared to make such a plan.

After a round of fierce blows and rapid expansion, it is time for them to slow down, fight steadily and practice their internal skills.

As for Liu Bu, he plans to build a forward base in Xiangyang. After completing the construction and construction here, they will launch tactical attacks in Henan to support the battlefields of Shandong and Jianghuai, which is also the main reason why he came to Xiangyang.
