Chapter 418 Great Victory
Zhao Yun was as brave as a tiger. In an instant, he killed dozens of tiger and leopard knights. He immediately suppressed the momentum of the tiger and leopard riding charge. Even Cao Hong couldn't help but be anxious.
He is now injured and is not Zhao Yun's opponent at all. Seeing Zhao Yun suddenly lose the momentum of the tiger and leopard riding, his heart is heavy in an instant.
"Cao Hong, take your life!"
Zhao Yun took the lead and saw Cao Hong in front of him. He immediately roared, and the long gun in his hand flew over and rushed straight to Cao Hong.
Dozens of soldiers in front of Cao Hong were picked up by long guns.
"Huh! Don't be so big!"
Cao Hong snorted coldly, cut off the long arrow that pierced his chest with a sword, snorted, and rushed to Zhao Yun.
DangDang...
The long gun is like a dancing electric snake, which is fatal, and the two are invincible for a while.
"Phoenix nodded seven times!"
Zhao Yun, who was fighting fiercely, suddenly made a killing move and suddenly picked up the long sword in Cao Hong's hand. The next moment, the long gun was against Cao Hong's throat.
"General!"
"Ren go of the general!"
Seeing that Cao Hong was arrested, a famous tiger and leopard knight exclaimed and stared at Zhao Yun fiercely.
"Cao Hong, are you willing to surrender!" Zhao Yun was unmoved and looked at Cao Hong and said in a low voice.
"Haha............Fare? Only Cao Hong, who died in the battle, and Cao Hong, who did not surrender.
Cao Hong suddenly laughed, and the long sword in his hand in his hand indomitablely killed Zhao Yun, which clearly put away life and death.
Seeing Cao Hong's reaction, Zhao Yun sighed in his heart, and the long gun in his hand suddenly straightened. He immediately pierced Cao Hong's throat, and a generation of famous generals died in the battlefield.
"Bear down the body!" Zhao Yun gave the order behind him.
"No." Several soldiers came forward and carried Cao Hong's body away.
And the tiger and leopard knights in front of him also seemed to be afraid that the next fierce battle would damage Cao Hong's body, and they were silent one by one.
Kill!
After seeing that Cao Hong's body was taken away, the tiger and leopard knights had no scruples and rushed towards Zhao Yun one by one.

"General, Cao Hong is dead."
On the top of the tower, he stood side by side with Fa Zheng, and Fa Zheng sighed.
"It's a good place to die on the battlefield." Zhang Jian also sighed slightly, but then he didn't care at all. How many generals have been killed in the battlefield for more than ten years, and now it is common.
"Cao Hong died. After today, the land of Liangzhou has been under the rule of Jingzhou. The lord sits in the south of Sanzhou to shock the barbarians, the west can dominate Sun Ce, and the north can look at the northern states and counties. This is a sign of hegemony."
Fa Zheng smiled and witnessed the rise of Jingzhou, which is also an anecdote.
"Yes, occupying Liangzhou, the last shortcoming of the lord has also been made up. It only takes a few years of development. Yongzhou and Sili Zhuzhou counties can be attacked. When Cao Cao is defeated, who else in the world will be the opponent of the lord?"
Zhang Jian nodded. Although the land of Liangzhou is remote, there are enough horses in all directions, which is just suitable for Liu Qi to expand the cavalry.
Jingzhou, Yizhou and Liangzhou can be said to have fallen into the hands of Liu Qi. Although Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao and increased his power, Jingzhou at this time happened to encircle the counties under Cao Cao's command. The whale swallowing momentum has been formed, and it is not impossible to annex Cao Cao until the time is ripe.
The fierce battle lasted for half an hour before it ended. Tigers and leopards rode trapped beasts, and were still wiped out in the end.
................................................................................................
Jingzhou
During the period when Fa Zheng and others went on an expedition, Jingzhou has also undergone earth-shaking changes. Xiangyang, Wancheng and several others became the center, and the wide official roads were renovated.
Originally, the official road near Xiangyang City only allowed two carriages to drive side by side. As for other slightly remote places, the carriages were almost difficult to walk.
However, the newly rested official road can allow four carriages to drive side by side, and as for remote counties, it can also allow two carriages to drive side by side.
The increasingly visible roads can be seen everywhere in Jingzhou County, and the streets are built by idle old farmers and retired soldiers.
These people are idle at home all day long, and there is nothing else to do but cultivate a few mu of thin fields. Now they take the initiative to build every section of the road under the generous reward.
Of course, almost all of these places are expanded and rested on the original official road, and there is no need to be too tired.
All the expenses for the construction of the official road are paid directly by the government. Although many families are involved, these families cannot intervene until the road is built.
At the same time, under the governance of Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Xu Shu and others, policies were issued, and the whole Jingzhou was new.
Although it is not as fierce as the change, it will not give up much.
With the implementation of a decree, not many people have noticed Liu Bei, who was appointed as the county magistrate by Liu Qi.
Although Liu Bei was diligent during his tenure as a county magistrate, almost all government decrees did not need to be promulgated by Liu Bei, and everyone faintly forgot Liu Bei, who was in a remote place.
"Lord, a few days ago, Kong Ming has sent the news that he was defeated by the Southern Man Meng Huo, and there is no need to worry about the invasion of the Southern Man within a few years." In Liu Qi's mansion, Xu Shu said with a smile on his face.
"Yes, Nanman Menghuo has sent a letter of surrender and hundreds of thousands of gold and silver a few days ago and promised not to be the enemy of the Lord within five years." Jia Xu also nodded and said yes.
"This Meng Huo is aware of current affairs, but Jingzhou can't draw too many troops to deal with him now. Just promise him for the time being." Liu Qi nodded and looked at several people in the room.
Xu Shu is still elegant, gentle and looks close. And he is also the first to turn to him. It can be said that Liu Qi can have today's achievements. Xu Shu has made great achievements, but he is never proud of himself, but has become more and more gentle. The skill of self-cultivation is unmatched among several people.
And Jia Xu and Pang Tong have also made outstanding contributions over the years. Now their official positions are not high. They can be used for him and completely value his future.
Although some recent decrees seem to be a little urgent, he has to do so. In order to improve these decrees, Xu Shu and the other three work day and night. Being able to work hard and move the public, and can be accepted by the subordinate families, several people can be regarded as racking their brains to meet the interests of all parties as much as possible.
It's not that Liu Qi is impatient, but she has to be so. Nowadays, although all parties are fighting endlessly, the situation has become clear and clear, and the power of Cao Cao and Sun Ce is becoming stronger and stronger, and the struggle between Jingzhou and the two sides cannot be completed overnight.
Although he now occupies the land of Yizhou, Jingzhou and even Liangzhou, it is still a little insufficient compared with Cao Cao. If he does not lay the foundation as soon as possible, he will definitely be surpassed by Cao Cao in a few years.
Just as Liu Qi was meditating, the rapid footsteps suddenly sounded.
"Lord, Liangzhou's good news!"
"Bell it in." Liu Qi shouted at the door.
"No." Wei Yan came in excitedly with a bamboo slip.
"Lord, Dasheng, Han Sui, Ma Teng died, the whole army of the tiger and leopard cavalry was destroyed, Cao Hong was beheaded, and the whole Liangzhou had been occupied." As soon as he walked into the study, Wei Yan said with an excited face.
"What?" Several people in the study also exclaimed and looked at Wei Yan in surprise.
Pang Tong even came forward and grabbed the bamboo slips in Wei Yan's hand, and then laughed: "Haha, if it's true, the lord is overjoyed."
Pang Tong handed the bamboo slip in his hand to Liu Qi.
After reading the bamboo slips, Liu Qi was also a fierce surprise. Originally, it was his greatest luxury to defeat the tiger and leopard rider, but he didn't expect to be able to annihilate the tiger and leopard.
"Okay, okay, okay."
Liu Qi said three good words in a row. Obviously, he was particularly rampant in his heart. Since Liangzhou entered Jingzhou, the power of Jingzhou would definitely rise to another level.
And as it is said in the bamboo slips, Ma Chao, Ma Dai and others have also surrendered to Jingzhou, and this expedition can be regarded as meritorious deeds.
Zhu Jian passed to Xu Shu's hand, but Xu Shu frowned.
"Yuan Zhi, what's wrong?" Liu Qi looked at Xu Shu. Everyone present looked excited, but Xu Shu showed a lack of interest.
"Lord, this is very inappropriate." Xu Shu frowned deeper and deeper and said.
At this time, everyone also looked at Xu Shu. With Xu Shu's wisdom, he was not aimless.
"Lord, Cao Hong is Cao Cao's beloved general, and he is also Cao Cao's family. He has a very high status in Cao Cao's heart. In addition, 20,000 tigers and leopards have been destroyed by the whole army. If he can wait at this time, Cao Cao is determined to fight a decisive battle with Jingzhou, which is extremely unfavorable to the master." Xu Shu shook his head.
The rapid development of Jingzhou's power has long made Cao Cao afraid. Now he has completely annihilated 20,000 tigers and leopards. If he were Cao Cao, he would never let Jingzhou grow up.
"Cao Cao just defeated Yuan Shao. Although his reputation has greatly increased, his power has not improved much. Will he attack Jingzhou at this time?" Despite this, Pang Tong's words revealed a strong sense of surprise.
"Although Cao Cao has just defeated Yuan Shao, Jizhou is no longer a concern at this time. There are many people under Cao Cao's command who can be used to fighting, and there are many generals. If he is determined to be an enemy of Jingzhou, he only needs to send some soldiers to contain Jingzhou, and then continue to develop. In a few years, Jingzhou will definitely be dragged down by him. At that time, Jingzhou But it's in Cao Cao's bag. Xu Shu said with a solemn face.
"I know. I ordered Zhao Yun to send someone to give Cao Hong's body to Cao Cao." Liu Qi pondered for a moment.
"Lord, this..." Pang Tong was stunned. Didn't Liu Qi provoke Cao Cao by doing this?
"Anyway, Jingzhou is indeed developing too fast, which has long aroused Cao Cao's fear. If there is any weakness at this time, it will only strengthen Cao Cao's determination to attack Jingzhou. Since it's not as strong as performance, it can make Cao Cao scruples.
Liu Qi shook his head and said, "Sent someone to Wu County tomorrow, and say that I will join forces with Sun Ce to attack Cao Cao."
"No."
Several people are extremely intelligent people, and they understand Liu Qi's plan in an instant. At this time, only if Cao Cao understands that it is difficult to win or lose if he wants to attack Jingzhou, he still has a great possibility of defeat, which can make Cao Cao hesitate.
"Don't worry too much about Zhang's filial piety and reward the three armies." Liu Qi said.
"No."
"Wei Yan, hurry up and train Jingzhou soldiers, and don't slack off at all." Liu Qi looked at Wei Yandao again.
"No." Wei Yan bowed.
