Arriving at Guiyang, the prefect's office was in Chen County.
After resting for three days, Liu Feng received news.
"Reporting to Lord, Zhang Nan and Feng Xi have arrived.”
"Oh?" Liu Feng's eyes were a little suspicious." These two were left behind by my father to control Lingling and Chang. How many soldiers did Sha's deputy general bring?”
"A total of five thousand people."
"Let them enter the northern camp."
"Here."
"Lord, the grains sent by the four counties of Jingnan have all been stored.”
"Let Ma Liang help you count." Liu Feng waved his hand.
"Report…Jiaozhou's spy reported that Jiaozhou's governor Lai Gong sent a letter to the lord, expressing his willingness to submit.”
"Oh?" Liu Feng narrowed his eyes. He had made the first move and asked Sun Shangxiang to come after him in order to stabilize the situation in Jiaozhou. However, he had only just arrived and Lai Gong had already come knocking on his door.
At this moment, Ma Liang walked in with a letter.
"Young General, the latest report from the spy is that Jiaozhou Governor Lai Gong fought with Cangwu Prefecture Governor Wu Ju five days ago and was defeated. Sea County only had 3,000 soldiers. Wu Ju had already entered the north of South Sea County and was ready to drive this person away at any time.”
"No wonder. I was saying that Lai Gong was originally recommended by Liu Biao. Even if he wanted to rely on my father, he shouldn't have come to me. Send someone directly to Jiangling to ask for help. For Liu Jingsheng's sake, my father will definitely agree.”
"So he's desperate. He's about to lose his position as the governor of Jiaozhou, so he's starting to worry.”
Ma Liang frowned slightly." Young General, we should deal with this as soon as possible. Otherwise, if Wu finds out, they will send someone to contact Lai Gong and bring him to Wu. Then, South Sea County will belong to Wu.”
"I understand what you mean. The two clans are now heading north together. We will split into three groups to attack the Cao bandits.”
That night, when Liu Feng was meeting Xu Shu, who was handling a mountain of government affairs, Xu Shu suddenly raised his head and glanced at him.
"This matter is simple. Just tell Wu Ju about Lai Gong's request to surrender.”
Sure enough, Wu Ju came seven days later.
He brought 500 iron cavalry and rode his horse to Di County.
Outside the city gate, Liu Feng came out ten miles to meet him.
"Cangwu Prefecture Governor Wu Ju has been waiting for Young General to lead the army south for a long time. How could he dare to trouble Young General to personally come out of the city to welcome him?”
Liu Feng cupped his hands slightly." The prefect is an old friend of my father. Liu Feng should call him uncle.”
"Uncle, I've long heard of your name, but I didn't have the chance to meet you. Today, I've seen you. You're really a hero!”
Calling Wu Ju uncle had raised him to the heavens.
Not long after, Wu Ju handed over a bamboo slip." This is the list of officials in each county of Cangwu. We have more than ten thousand soldiers. Today, including me, all the generals and hundreds of thousands of people of Cangwu are willing to follow Young General!”
After saying that, he bowed to Liu Feng.
"Uncle, please get up quickly. I will immediately send someone to Jiangling to ask my father to submit a memorial to the emperor and grant my uncle the title of governor of Jiaozhou, general of Jieyi Zhonglang and marquis inside the pass.”
Wu Ju's face was filled with shock. This Liu Feng was actually so forthright.
He had originally thought that Liu Bei would accept him because he was a good friend. With Liu Bei's support, Lai Gong could only be a turtle in a jar.
Liu Feng actually asked to be granted the title of Jiaozhou Cishi, the Marquis of the Pass, and the General of Jieyi.
One had to know that Liu Feng himself was only a middle-ranking general.
"Plop."
Wu Ju bowed again." Young General Hong En, Wu Ju is willing to follow Young General, even if it costs him his life."”
"Uncle, you will return to Cangwu County tonight. I will send General Huo Jun to lead the Breaking Camp and garrison Cangwu County. I will also dispatch some civil officials to manage it. You will lead the army south and follow me to attack Nanhai County.”
Although he had been driven out of Cangwu with a single sentence, Wu Ju was already satisfied. At least the position of the provincial governor of Jiaozhou should be firmly in his pocket.
Moreover, he had tens of thousands of troops under him, so he did not have to worry about not being reused in the future.
"I accept your orders."
That night, Liu Feng and Wu Ju drank to their heart's content. Only then did they allow him to bring Huo Jun and the others back to Cangwu County.
