Xiao Qiao was Zhou Yu's concubine. This was something that Liu Jue did not expect. After all, in many romance novels, Xiao Qiao was written as Zhou Yu's wife.
However, thinking about it carefully, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu had gotten Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao when they broke into Wan City. At that time, both of them were 25 or 26 years old. In this era, they would have already gotten married and had children.
Moreover, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao at that time were both spoils of war to Sun Ce and Zhou Yu. How could they sit in the position of the main wife?
Putting aside this problem, Liu Jue was now considering how to deal with Zhou Yu's family.
They weren't his wife and children, so he couldn't possibly raise them for Zhou Yubai.
However, if he were to get rid of them all, Liu Jue would not be able to do it. After all, the other party was only a woman and child.
Liu Jue could not think of a good solution for the time being, so he said to Zhang Sheng,"Zhang Sheng, take them away and keep them under guard. I have to deal with Chaisang's affairs now.”
"Yes, sir!" Zhang Sheng replied loudly and led a dozen soldiers away with Zhou Yu's family.
"Xing Ba," Liu Jue said to Gan Ning,"immediately send someone to check the supplies in Chaisang City. Once you're done, you and Su Fei will come to see me."”
"Here! This subordinate will do it now." Gan Ning immediately left the hall.
After Gan Ning left, Liu Jue didn't stay idle. He needed to appease the civilians, deal with the surrendered soldiers, and deal with other miscellaneous matters.
An hour later, Liu Jue returned to the main hall of the Zhou Residence, accompanied by Gan Ning and Su Fei.
"Young General, the rations and supplies in Chaisang City have been counted. There are 150,000 stones of rations, 15,000 spears, 10,000 ring-headed sabers, 5,000 longbows, 50,000 arrows, 10,000 sets of leather armor, and even 2,000 warhorses!”Gan Ning said excitedly.
After Liu Jue heard the report, he was also shocked. As expected of the city that Zhou Yu had managed for so many years. There were actually so many provisions and supplies, enough to equip 20,000 troops.
Damn it, I've made a killing this time!
Su Fei could not help but say," Young General, we have already taken down Chaisang and obtained countless rations and supplies. If we send this good news to Xiangyang, the Prefecture Overseer will definitely favor you."”
Liu Biao had a total of three sons. If Liu Jue became the Prefecture Overseer in the future, the status of Su Fei and the others would also rise.
"That's right. Father will be overjoyed if he knows about this!" Liu Jue said with a smile. However, what we need to do now is to quickly take down Pengze and Liling.”
"Young General," Gan Ning immediately said,"Xing Ba is willing to lead a thousand soldiers to attack Pengze.”
"Young General, since Xing Ba is going to attack Pengze, I will attack Liling!" Su Fei said, unwilling to fall behind.”
Liu Jue nodded and said," Alright. Since you've taken the initiative to fight, I naturally won't stop you. Go and count your troops. You must take down these two cities as soon as possible."”
"This general will obey!"
After Gan Ning and Su Fei left, Liu Jue began to inspect the city's treasuries and granaries under the lead of several generals.
Whether it was food, weapons, or armor, they were all very important to Liu Jue. Moreover, with the four cities of Chaisang, he could gather another ten thousand soldiers.
Whether it was food or weapons, they were all well preserved. The food was new for the past two years, and the weapons had not rusted.
Among them, Liu Jue valued the two thousand warhorses the most.
Warhorses were mainly produced in the north. A warhorse south of the Yangtze River could be bought for about ten gold coins.
It seemed that Zhou Yu was not only powerful in military affairs, but also in internal affairs.
Unfortunately, Zhou Yu's luck was not good this time. He encountered an opponent who did not play by the rules like Liu Jue.
After inspecting the granary, Liu Jue had already made a plan. He planned to let Yi Ji, Huang Zhong, and Huo Jun guard this place.
With Chaisang, Jiangxia and Jingzhou no longer had to fear Jiangdong. Instead, Sun Quan had to worry day and night.
After all, Jing State had Chaisang, which was equivalent to having a base to attack River East. From then on, the six counties and eighty-one states of River East would all be under the threat of Jing State.
After returning to Zhou Yu's residence, Liu Jue ordered his men to prepare some food. This would be his temporary residence for the time being.
At the same time, Liu Jue was also considering how to deal with Zhou Yu's family.
It was impossible to send it back to Zhou Yu. If Liu Jue did that, Gan Ning and the others would be disappointed.
In Gan Ning's eyes, Zhou Yu's mother, wife, children, and even the famous Xiao Qiao were all spoils of war.
Gan Ning and the others had offered Zhou Yu's family to him as a show of loyalty. No matter what he did to Zhou Yu's family, he couldn't return them to him.
Besides, so what if he returned it to Zhou Yu?
During the battle at Wuchang City, Liu Jue had utterly defeated Zhou Yu and killed two generals, Lu Meng and Ling Tong, causing Zhou Yu to lose all his face.
Now that Liu Jue had taken down Chaisang, Jiangdong had lost its barrier to the west.
With all these things added up, even if Liu Jue returned his family to Zhou Yu, would Zhou Yu pretend that nothing had happened?
Moreover, Liu Jue was not so kind as to give away the things in his hands.
If Liu Jue had lost the battle of Wuchang, would Zhou Yu have let him go so kindly?
Moreover, Liu Jue was the victor now. Zhou Yu's family was his spoils of war. He had the right to deal with Xiao Qiao and the others because this was the victor's reward.
After winning the battle, he still had to show goodwill to the other party. What difference was there between him and a grandson?
For example, the number one general of the Three Kingdoms, Lu Bu, had originally taken Xuzhou and captured Liu Bei's family. In the end, what did this guy do?
Not only did Lu Bu not exterminate Liu Bei, but he also returned his family to Liu Bei and let Liu Bei station his troops in Xiaopei, hoping to use Liu Bei to resist Cao Cao.
In the end, when Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, Liu Bei defected without a word.
On the White Gate Tower, Liu Bei's words had cut off Lu Bu's last chance of survival. His wife and daughter had also become the spoils of war in Cao Cao's hands.
Although there was no record of it in the history books, it was either Cao Cao himself possessing it or rewarding his subordinates.
This was because in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, this kind of thing was too common.
In history, Cao Cao conquered Hanzhong and captured Ma Chao's wife. He then gave her to one of his subordinates, a nobody.
As for whether Cao Cao's southern expedition would affect the alliance between Jingzhou and Jiangdong, Liu Jue didn't care at all.
With the system as a cheat, two years was more than enough for Liu Jue to make sufficient preparations to resist Cao Cao's army. He didn't care about forming an alliance with Sun Quan.
Moreover, Liu Jue had other plans in his heart. Even if Zhou Yu did not want his wife and children, it was impossible for his biological mother to do so.
It had to be known that throughout history, filial piety was very important. When the time came, Zhou Yu would definitely make a request to bring his mother back.
At that time, Liu Jue would be able to demand an exorbitant price and make Zhou Yu bleed again.
