Chapter 251 The Situation in Xiangyang

Xiangyang, since Liu Qi uprooted Cai Mao and others and their families, the situation in Xiangyang has changed sharply.

Cai Mao's more than ten families and the families involved behind them, a total of more than 30 families, large and small. After these families were removed, the power of Xiangyang City suddenly emptied a large blank.

Thirty families, no matter how small these families are, they can always control part of the wealth and power in the hands of the family. Now they have been uprooted by Liu Qi. I don't know how many families are closely watching these positions, but because of Liu Qi's toughness, even those big families in Xiangyang City dare not take it lightly. It's easy to divide.

Therefore, the morning after Cai Mao and others were killed, families of all sizes in Xiangyang City sent people to Liu Qi's mansion, hoping that Liu Qi could give them some benefits. Some families went to Yi's mansion hoping that Yiji could speak on their behalf, while some families went to Kuai's mansion hoping that Kuai Yue could come forward. Major families strive for benefits.

The wishes of these families have not been realized in the end. Both Yi and Huai Yue know Liu Qi very well. The final decision-making power in this matter can only be Liu Qi himself, and no one can get involved except Liu Qi. Moreover, Kua Yue and others know Liu Qi very well about Liu Qi's temper. At this time, these families were unwilling to support Liu Qi one by one, or even against Liu Qi. Now they hope that Liu Qi will share some of them in the face of huge interests. Isn't it a daydream?

Sure enough, three days later, this huge cake was mostly scattered by Liu Qi. The interests of these 30 families were divided into fifty or more by Liu Qi and distributed to the families in Xiangyang City. These families are all inextricably related to Liu Qi or have long been involved in Liu Qi's family.

Although it is divided into 50 points, the benefits of each share are still huge, which makes the families in Xiangyang City extremely jealous. At the end of the day, all the families in Xiangyang City have turned their attention to the remaining interests in Liu Qi's hands, and even some families that have only stepped into the threshold of the family are no exception, as long as they can get such benefits. Your own family can immediately become one of the few families in Xiangyang City.

However, everyone can see that Liu Qi's interests will never be easily divided among others. In order to make a good impression on Liu Qi, these families have expressed their full support for Liu Qi, and they did not dare to disobey Liu Qi's orders at all. After a beating, the family in Xiangyang City no longer dared to violate it. Liu Qi's order, even dared not be evil.

In the families that divided the interests this time, Liu Qi took special care of some families, especially the families that followed Liu Qi in the early days, such as the Ma family, the Zhao family, the Lu family and other small families. These small families were originally not strong, but they also developed one after receiving Liu Qi's funding.

In order to make up for Mr. Qiao's loss in Jiangdong, Liu Qi also gave some benefits to Mr. Qiao. Although it was a little insignificant to Mr. Qiao before, it also made Mr. Qiao feel gratified.

It seems that these interests have been divided into dozens, but only Liu Qi himself knows that these benefits have been divided into hundreds. Ten of the 30 families can be regarded as big families in Xiangyang. How can such a big force Liu Qi leave to other families? Liu Qi has never believed it. How could Liu Qi Let these families increase their strength again and threaten themselves. Therefore, Liu Qi divided these interests into small parts as much as possible to support some more small families. Although these small families have greatly increased their strength after receiving sponsorship, they have no threat to Liu Qi, so that Liu Qi can control Jingzhou.

Originally, Liu Qi wanted to leave an interest for the Kai family, but when he saw Cai Mao's lesson, he immediately refused Liu Qi's kindness. Not only that, Kai Yue also took the initiative to hand over the soldiers and horses controlled by the Kai family to Liu Qi.

Now Xiangyang is already Liu Qi's world. Even if the Kwa clan controls these soldiers and horses, it will attract Liu Qi's suspicion. Therefore, after discussing with his brother again, he handed over the soldiers and horses controlled by the Kwa clan and its affiliated families, with a whole 10,000 soldiers and horses.

Although Zhangling is only a part of the Nanyang County and Nan County, its strength is not strong. But there are also ten thousand soldiers and horses. The strength of Liu Qi, who got the 10,000 soldiers of the Kwa clan, has greatly increased, and he is more confident in the rebellions in various parts of Jingzhou.

For the people of the Kuacon clan in the army, Liu Qi did not exclude them from the army, but Liu Qi arranged for Wang Yi to train 10,000 soldiers and horses. After screening, there were only 7,000 qualified soldiers left, and there were even fewer clans left.

The 20,000 navy was completely rectified under Wang Wei's town, from the deputy general to the pawns. Everyone related to the Cai family was excluded. In addition, Liu Qi asked to leave elite soldiers, so there were only less than 15,000 people left in the 20,000 navy.

After that, Liu Qi also screened the 30,000 navy under Liu Biao's command, just making up 40,000 sailors. Although the number of people decreased sharply, the power of the navy suddenly increased and was no longer as lazy as before. Since then, the 40,000 sailors in Jingzhou have all fallen into the hands of Liu Qi and are controlled by Liu Qi.

The 40,000 navy was divided into four battalions by Liu Qi, and every 10,000 people were in one battalion, but the new commander of the navy had never been determined. Originally, Liu Qi wanted Gan Ning to be the commander of the navy. In the early days, Gan Ning's 800 sail thieves were all navy, and then they were changed to cavalry. Nowadays, no one in Jingzhou is suitable to lead the navy except Ganning. Cao Ren and Cao Hong, who were still guarding against Cao Jun in Wancheng, so Liu Qi did not settle down for a long time.

Zhang Xiu, who was sent to Wuling County, also has good news. Zhang Xiu is worthy of being a leading soldier. When he first arrived in Wuling County, he was not in a hurry to fight with Shamoke and others, but retreated while integrating his soldiers and horses. Zhang Xiu's soldiers and horses were not only defeated in Wuling County, but also reinforced by Lingling County and Changsha County. Five thousand soldiers and horses were in chaos. It took Zhang Xiu five days to roughly control these soldiers.

In these five days, the soldiers and horses of Shamoke and others kept pressing to capture most of Wuling County. At this time, Zhang Xiu, who had been retreating, suddenly attacked Shamoke and hit Shamoke in one fell swoop. Gong Zhi and others who betrayed were killed on the spot. Shamoke was also seriously injured and fled with his subordinates.

After the heavy damage to Shamoke, Zhang Xiu recovered Wuling with lightning. Without the Wuxi barbarians led by Shamoke, they were not Zhang Xiu's generals at all. In just a few days, Wuling County was recaptified by Zhang Xiu, but Shamoke escaped into the mountains with the rest of the Wuxi barbarians.

Zhang Xiu, who was beaten by Liu Qi, was extremely honest and did not have the slightest strange heart because he controlled Wuling. After the warning of Liu Qi and Jia Xu, Zhang Xiu did not dare to take any more chances.

Wuling County gradually calmed down under the shock of Zhang Xiu. Although Wuling County suffered heavy losses, it finally stabilized.

The situation in Xiangyang has calmed down, and the Wuxi barbarians in Wuling County can no longer turn over much waves. At this time, Liu Qi turned his eyes to Jiangdong. This time, Liu Qi is ready to teach Jiangdong a lesson, so that Jiangdong no longer dares to invade Jingzhou easily. Although he knew that this was not the time to argue with Jiangdong, Jiangdong was so aggressive that he did not eliminate Jiangdong's ambitions. How could Liu Qi develop Jingzhou at ease and realize his own plan? Therefore, after receiving that Zhang Xiu had stabilized Wuling County, Liu Qi began to prepare for Jiangxia.

This time, Liu Qi will not only send 40,000 sailors to Jiangxia, but also the Flying Tigers to send troops to Jiangxia. At this time, the 6,000 soldiers and horses trained by Wang Yi can already be used, and the subsequent 7,000 soldiers and horses are also being trained. This soldier and horses are enough to guard Xiangyang. The most important thing is that the Flying Tiger Army has not been dispatched for a long time. This time, Wang Wei personally went to Liu Qi's house to request troops.

The two elites of Jingzhou, the Flying Dragon Army and the Flying Tiger Army, joined forces. Liu Qi believes that even the 100,000 troops in Jiangdong could not resist.

However, Liu Qi did not let the Flying Tiger Army and the 40,000 Water Army leave. Liu Qi is waiting for someone, that is, Gan Ning. Although the 40,000 Water Army has been screened, there is no top commander, and the combat effectiveness of the Water Army will be greatly weakened. Therefore, a few days ago, Liu Qi sent someone to Wancheng to secretly transfer Gan Ning back. As for Wei Yan and Pang Tong in Wancheng, nothing would happen.

In just a few days, the means shown by Liu Qi made Liu Biao and Xin Pi, who had been working hard for more than ten years, a little shocked. The situation in Jingzhou is so serious that there are strong enemies outside and worries inside, and Liu Qi actually dealt with it without any difficulties and has a clear way, which makes Liu Biao really relieved to hand over Jingzhou to Liu Qi, and he and Xin Pi have no longer paid attention to the affairs of Jingzhou.

Liu Qi was also deeply touched by Liu Biao's behavior. He did not expect that Liu Biao, who had always had a bad relationship with him, was really relieved that he controlled Jingzhou. Even Liu Qi controlled the 40,000 water army Liu Biao did not say anything. Seeing that Liu Biao was so, Liu Qi was completely relieved.

However, he did not disappoint Liu Biao. The day after Liu Biao announced that he ignored Jingzhou affairs, Liu Qi introduced Liu Chong to Pang Degong as a disciple, and Liu Zhen's mother, Mrs. Cai, Liu Qi, was not embarrassed, but imprisoned and was not allowed to communicate with the outside, and only had two opportunities to see Liu Kang every month.

At the same time, Liu Qi also introduced Ma Yan to Sima Hui and asked Sima Hui to teach Ma Yan. With the appreciation of Sima Hui, who is talented, intelligent and understanding, and Liu Qi's recommendation, Sima Hui can only agree to accept Ma as a disciple to teach him the art of war strategy.

After arranging everything properly, Liu Qi ordered the Flying Tiger Army and the Water Army to send troops to Jiangxia. Gan Ning, who was appointed by Liu Qi as the commander of the navy, finally rushed back to Xiangyang.
