It's getting colder in December. Xiangyang City people, rarely go out, most are hiding at home, closed. And in the snow, there is a team of soldiers, quickly to Xiangyang City.

The leader is Zhang Xiu.

He led a thousand guards to Xiangyang City.

At the same time, Liu Qi, Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, Cai Mao and others at the east gate of Xiangyang City were all wearing cloaks, braved the cold and snow, waiting for Zhang Xiu's arrival.

Liu Qi's face was livid and unhappy.

In fact, the reason is very simple. As soon as Zhang Xiu arrives, he has to hand in yinshou and surrender to Zhang Xiu.

This is what he is unwilling to do, but there is nothing he can do.

Kuai Yue, Cai Mao and Kuai Liang stood aside, looking calm, because with the help of several families, the overall situation has been decided, and there can be no more changes. Now, they just need to wait for Zhang Xiu to arrive.

"Here it is

In the crowd, someone suddenly called out.

With this cry, people have widened their eyes and looked forward one by one. I saw a black line on the official road far away from the east gate. A group of people were approaching quickly.

Zhang Xiu's army has arrived.

For a moment, everyone was excited and excited.

Liu Qi saw this scene, a heart is sinking, Jingzhou civil and military generals, that is the case, where does he have any way? We can only accept the current situation.

With the distance getting closer, we could see the troops coming soon.

Kuai Liang was the leader. He looked at Liu Qi and said, "Mr. Zhou mu, Zhang Taiwei has arrived. It's time to meet him."

Liu Qi didn't move.

As if I didn't hear it.

With a look of disdain in the corner of his mouth, Kuai Liang nodded to Cai Mao. Then he saw that Cai Mao stepped out and walked out with Liu Qi. He knows about Liu Qi's plot against Cai Mao.

On weekdays, Liu Qi, who had always been a coward, had the courage to gather his family's servants to ambush Cai Mao. He was a little brave. Unfortunately, I met Cai Mao, who had long been overhead in the prefecture.

If Liu Biao is in Xiangyang, Cai Mao can't fly over the prefecture and can't change the servants of the prefecture. But when Liu Biao leaves Xiangyang and dies on the battlefield, Cai Mao can fly over the prefecture. It's easy.

Liu Qi wants to struggle, but can't break free.

Although Cai Mao is not a powerful general, Liu Qi's strength is not enough for Cai Mao.

When he went out for forty steps, he joined Zhang Xiu.

Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, Cai Mao and others all salute Zhang Xiu. Liu Qi takes the seal ribbon from his servant's hand, holds it in his hands, and walks up to Zhang Xiu. He raises the seal ribbon in his hand, and his voice is hoarse. He says, "Liu Qi, I'd like to submit to Zhang Taiwei, please accept it."

Without hesitation, Zhang Xiu took the seal ribbon and handed it to the soldiers beside her. Then she said, "Liu Qi, you and I are still relatives. You are willing to surrender. I will treat you well. I'll appoint you as a counsellor and then go to Chang'an. "

Remonstrate doctor, this is a honest and upright official, unimportant.

It's like Liu Qi is idle.

Is Liu Qi in the heart unusual exasperation, but Liu Qi also has no way. Now, if Zhang Xiu doesn't kill him, it's already treating him well and giving him enough opportunities.

Liu Qi took a deep breath and suppressed her inner emotion, saying: "thank you, Tai Wei!"

"Enter the city!"

Zhang Xiu gave an order, and everyone joined hands to enter the city.

As soon as he entered the city, he went straight to the prefecture. The 1000 soldiers accompanying him were escorted around the prefecture.

In the hall, the guest and host are seated.

Zhang Xiu looked at the people under her command and said, "I am very glad that you are willing to submit to me. With your help, I believe that Jingzhou will be better and better. "

The crowd echoed.

Zhang Xiu changed her words and said: "Jingzhou, as a southern barrier, is of great importance. Although Huang Zhong was arranged to sit in Zhenjiang Xiajun and temporarily lead Jiangxia prefect to resist the threat from Jiangdong. But there must be a lot of people in Jingzhou. "

As soon as the words came out, all the people became active.

Who will be the governor of Jingzhou?

Zhang Xiu's eyes fell on Kuai Liang and said, "Kuai Liang!"

"Yes

Kuai Liang stood up and saluted back.

At the moment, Kuai Liang was also excited. He was the first one to take a fancy to Zhang Xiu. At the end of Zhang Xiu, he saw the potential of Zhang Xiu. Then he resigned as a sick man and no longer planned for Liu Biao. Instead, he planned for Zhang Xiu in Xiangyang.

For example, Pang Tong and Xu Shu, who followed Zhang Xiu, became one of the six ministers under Zhang Xiu's command; Gan Ning and Huang Zhong, who followed Zhang Xiu, became the generals of one side.

Only he Kuai Liang, has been lurking in Xiangyang, unknown.

Now, it's time for him to harvest.

Officials in Jingzhou were surprised when they looked at Kuai Liang. Because they didn't expect that Kuai Liang would be appointed as the governor of Jingzhou. But if you think about it carefully, it was Kuai Liang who helped Liu Biao in Jingzhou.It was Kuai Liang who gave advice to Liu Biao, and Liu Biao was able to hold the official post of Jingzhou animal husbandry. Without the help of Kuai Liang, Liu Biao could not stabilize the situation. Although people are shocked, but understand people is to see at a glance, obviously Kuai Liang is very early for Zhang Xiu's advice.

That's what it is today.

Kuai Yue was also happy and happy for his elder brother.

But Cai Mao sighed in his heart.

It's a pity.

In fact, Cai Mao's heart, for Jingzhou CI Shi, there are some ideas. However, compared with Kuai Liang, his qualifications are obviously insufficient. Even he was persuaded by Kuai Liang to submit to Zhang Xiu. Especially Cai Mao has to admit that Kuai Liang is more powerful than him.

Although Cai Mao was lost, he had nothing to say.

Zhang xiulang said: "the situation in Jingzhou is complex, and it needs a competent person. Kuai Liang has excellent intelligence and statecraft. Today, I worship Kuai Liang as the governor of Jingzhou and take charge of Jingzhou's political affairs. "

"I'll do it

Kuai Liang bowed himself.

At the moment, Kuai Liang also heard Zhang Xiu's appointment to him. It was not Jingzhou mu, but Jingzhou CI Shi.

Jingzhou animal husbandry is a part of animal husbandry.

This is a matter for the military and the government to grasp and control military power.

According to Zhang Xiu's arrangement, the governor of Jingzhou was in charge of government affairs and the army was eliminated. What's more, as Zhang Xiu said just now, Huang Zhong led the army to sit in Zhenjiang Xiajun. Huang Zhong has the final say in

's military affairs. Jiangxia's military affairs are the final ones.

This is the separation of military and government.

Zhang Xiu waved to Kuai Liang to return to the table and said, "Kuai Yue!"

"I'm in a humble position!"

Kuai Yue came forward and bowed.

Zhang xiuzhengse said: "our official Chang'an Kaifu, under the jurisdiction of six departments, I worship you as the Minister of rites, acting as the official affairs. Today, Pang Tong is the Minister of the Ministry of official affairs. He mainly follows his officials to attack the four sides. You go to Chang'an to take charge of the Ministry of rites. "

"I'll do it

When Kuai Yue heard this, he was also happy.

Although he is the Minister of rites, he is the deputy of Pang Tong, but in fact, Pang Tong is hardly in the Ministry of rites. He is the chief of the etiquette department when he serves as the left servant of the etiquette department.

Kuai Yue is also clear about the structure of Zhang Xiu. The six Shangshu under Zhang Xiu's command are six people with great power. Even once Zhang Xiu really dominates, these six books will become important officials in the court.

Zhang Xiu said again: "Cai Mao!"

"Yes

Cai Mao also stood up and saluted.

At this moment, his heart is also looking forward to it. Although it is later for him to submit to Zhang Xiu, the Cai family where he works has paid a lot for Zhang Xiu's profit in Jingzhou.

Zhang Xiu said, "I'll appoint you as the right servant of the Ministry of war and go to Chang'an to serve in the Ministry of war."

"Here it is

Cai Mao also responded directly.

The Ministry of war is a very important one, especially involving many military affairs, which need to go through the Ministry of war. Although he was the right Minister of the Ministry of war, with Jia Xu as the Minister of the Ministry of war, under the command of Zhang Xiu, he was also a powerful official.

After Zhang Xiu arranged for the main people, she again arranged for the other officials to deal with all the matters properly. As for the other details, it was Kuai Liang who dealt with them.

"Newspaper!"

Suddenly, a royal guards quickly entered.

The royal guards came to Wang Yue, whispered a report, handed in a letter and quit.

Wang Yue took the letter to Zhang Xiu and handed it to him. He said, "Lord, the four counties of Jingnan rebelled. Jin Xuan, the prefect of Wuling, Han Xuan, the prefect of Changsha, Zhao fan, the prefect of Guiyang, and Liu Du, the prefect of Lingling, all issued notices. Except for Liu Biao, they did not obey the orders of Jingzhou herdsmen appointed by the imperial court."

WOW!!

The officials below were in an uproar.

No one thought that the four prefects of Jingnan should speak out.
