"Ding! Congratulations to the user for completing the mission. You have been rewarded with 10,000 merit points and a Sea Dragon Stallion!”
In the room, Liu Jue looked at the system page with a faint smile on his face. Now that he had the Jiangxia Mayor in his hands, as long as the troops were prepared, he could set off for Jiangxia.
After arriving in Jiangxia, he would be able to lead troops and establish his own power.
Although the Cai Clan would definitely support him in the fight for the Jing State heir due to his relationship with Lady Cai, that would have to wait until Liu Biao passed away.
In other words, Liu Jue would have to wait for another two years.
However, at that time, Cao Cao would be marching south, wanting to unify the world.
If he didn't seize military power as soon as possible and establish his own power, what would he have to resist when the Cao army arrived two years later?
Jingzhou indeed had sufficient food and grass, and there were close to 100,000 soldiers. However, Liu Biao was already old and did not have the ambition to conquer the world. Therefore, the soldiers did not cultivate weapons, and their quality could not compare to Cao Cao's army.
Furthermore, there were only a few Great Generals like Wen Pin!
Moreover, Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and the others were the true supporters of surrender. In history, when the Cao army went south, these two were the ones who led the way to force Liu Cong to surrender to Cao Cao.
The Cai and Kuai families were both great clans in Jing State. When Liu Biao entered Jing State, he had to rely on the strength of these two people.
If Liu Jue did not have enough strength, how could he suppress these surrenders after Liu Biao died?
If he did not have military power in his hands, he would be a puppet at that time, and it would be a huge joke to dominate the world!
"Taking down the Jiangxia Prefecture is the first step. The next step is to choose civil officials and generals to help me stabilize Jiangxia.”Liu Jue began to slowly recall the future famous generals in Jing Zhou.
Liu Biao's father was really kind. He directly told Liu Jue that other than Wenpin and a few others, he could choose any other adviser or general he wanted.
Liu Jue thought for a moment and quickly thought of a person. That person would be Huang Zhong, who would submit to Liu Bei in the future and later become one of the Five Tiger Generals of Shu.
At this time, Huang Zhong should be working in Changsha, under the command of Changsha Governor Han Xuan. He just needed Liu Biao to send a transfer letter.
Other than Huang Zhong, Liu Jue thought of another person, Huo Jun.
Many people might not have any impression of Huo Jun, but he would submit to Liu Bei in the future. When he was guarding Jiameng Pass, he used hundreds of soldiers to resist Liu Zhang's army of ten thousand soldiers for a year.
If Huo Jun had not died early, his achievements would have been even greater.
Moreover, after Huo Jun passed away, Liu Bei personally went to mourn him. It could be seen that this person was a great talent.
Fortunately, Liu Jue was familiar with the history of the Three Kingdoms, so he could remember Huo Jun's name.
"Oh right, I almost forgot about Wei Yan!”Liu Jue slapped his head and suddenly remembered that Wei Yan was also a fierce general. He must not let him go.
Although Wei Yan was quite controversial, he was undeniably a talent.
"For now, let's confirm these three people. With Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, and Huo Jun, they'll be enough to resist Sun Quan and establish themselves in Jiangxia.”Liu Jue clenched his fists tightly as a sense of pride welled up in his heart.
"Right, we can't lack strategists either.”
At this time, there were countless talents in Jingzhou, such as Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, and others. They were all famous figures in history. If there was one person who could assist Liu Jue, he would be able to rest easy in Jiangxia.
"Xu Shu is already with Liu Bei. Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong are both in Xiangyang. As for the others…"
Many names flashed through Liu Jue's mind. However, most of these talented strategists were arrogant. For example, when Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountain, he had to visit him three times.
Liu Jue only had three days to prepare before he left for Jiangxia. How could he have the time to visit the thatched cottage three times?
"Oh right, doesn't the system have a mall? There seemed to be something called a recruitment order inside. Why don't you take it out and give it a try!”
As Liu Jue thought about it, he opened the system and found the recruitment token in the mall. This thing was extremely expensive. One would cost 10,000 merit points.
Liu Jue gritted his teeth and bought three of them. He chose to recruit civil officials.
"You must draw Zhuge Liang, or Pang Tong can do it too!”Liu Jue kept chanting in his heart. It felt like he was playing a game, hoping to get an SSR.
"Ding! Congratulations to user for recruiting Ma Liang!"
Liu Jue was stunned for a moment. He had an impression of Ma Liang. The so-called " White Eyebrow of the Five Virtues of the Ma Family " referred to Ma Liang, who was also an important official under Liu Bei.
However, Liu Bei was defeated in the Battle of Yiling, and Ma Liang was also killed. It could be said that he died young.
Ma Liang had a very famous brother, Ma Su from Lost Street Pavilion.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for recruiting Xiang Lang!"
"Xiang Lang is also an important official in the later period of Shu Han. It's good, but give me a strategist!”Liu Jue prayed silently in his heart.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for recruiting an Italian!"
When Liu Jue saw Yi Ji's name, he quickly remembered that this person was also a strategist. However, he was not as famous as the Crouching Dragon Phoenix Chick. His ability was still quite outstanding.
In history, Yi Ji, Zhuge Liang, and the others created the Shu Branch and made great contributions to the selection of talents in Shu Han.
"Just these three people. With these people assisting us, it shouldn't be a problem to deal with Dong Wu!”
Liu Jue looked at the people he had chosen. The civil officials were Yi Ji, Xiang Lang, and Ma Liang, while the generals were Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, and Huo Jun.
Only now did Liu Jue realize that he had already pulled away more than half of Liu Bei's backbone ministers.
"If Liu Bei could predict the future, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood. I wonder if Liu Bei can still make a name for himself without these important talents.”
Liu Jue swept away his earlier gloominess and almost burst out laughing. If nothing unexpected happened, Jing Zhou would definitely belong to him. At that time, Liu Bei would not have a share.
One had to know that most of the important officials of Shu Han were obtained by Liu Bei in Jingzhou.
He was undoubtedly cutting off Liu Bei's path of retreat.
There was a saying that went,'Follow someone else's path and leave them with no other path'!
If it was Liu Bei, he would definitely behave himself. Liu Jue did not mind letting him be a peaceful old man. If Liu Bei was not obedient, then he did not mind killing him.
Those who wanted to achieve great things must learn to be ruthless!
As for Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, it wouldn't be too late to invite them out after Jiangxia settled down.
