As Kou Feng became famous in the battle, according to Liu Bowen's original plan, Kou Feng decided to go to Xiangyang to visit Liu Biao and temporarily attach himself to Jingzhou!
It was now the thirteenth year of Jian 'an, 207 AD. Cao Cao would soon send his army south!
But this time, it was only the vanguard troops, about fifty thousand soldiers led by Cao Ren. In the end, they would be seen through by Xu Shu and be defeated!
As for Kou Feng, he had personally written a letter and sent an envoy to Xiangyang to visit Liu Biao, expressing his willingness to serve Liu Biao and live there!
Only then did Kou Feng lead his troops towards Xiangyang. Otherwise, they would be treated as enemies by the Jingzhou army and be finished!
No matter what, Liu Biao was still alive, Jing State had more than 300,000 soldiers, and the population was even more abundant!
With the recent years of war, the population of the north could not escape. Moreover, there was not much war in Jing Zhou, so the population was still around four to five million!
After the Battle of Red Cliff and the Battle of Yiling, the population of Jing State had shrunk greatly. By the time the Three Kingdoms returned to Jin, there were less than ten million people in the entire country!
Therefore, Kou Feng had discussed with Liu Bowen long ago that if they wanted to conquer the world, they had to take down Jing State!
There were nine counties in Jing State, and the richest ones were Nanyang County, South County, and Jiangxia County!
Occupy Nanyang, you can lead the army north, attack Luoyang, west can send troops to Hanzhong, seize Yizhou throat; If Jiangxia sends troops, they can attack Jiangdong directly!
Therefore, the Jing State had always been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. Similarly, whoever could occupy the Jing State could become the overlord!
When the news reached Xiangyang, the old Liu Biao immediately gathered Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, Zhang Yun, and the others for a meeting!
Speaking of which, although the Jing Prefecture Overseer was him, Liu Biao, there were still four other clans in power. They were the Cai Clan, Kuai Clan, Huang Clan, and Pang Clan!
Among these four clans, the Cai Clan and Kuai Clan were the most powerful and could be considered his left and right arms!
Of the nine counties of Jing State, only Xiangyang was under Liu Biao's control. Nanyang was occupied by Cao Cao because Zhang Xiu had defected to him!
Jiangxia was under the control of Huang Zu, and the four counties in the south were even more obedient. They were independent. Therefore, Liu Biao was a successful aristocratic family and a defeated aristocratic family. That was why he could not achieve hegemony!
After Liu Biao received the letter of surrender from Kou Feng, he was prepared to discuss with Cai Mao and the others on how to deal with Kou Feng!
After all, the fact that Kou Feng could defeat Liu Bei and defeat the famous Guan Yu and Zhang Fei was enough to prove his strength!
Moreover, Liu Bei and Kou Feng had been causing a ruckus in Jingzhou recently. They were clearly sworn father and son, but now they had become mortal enemies!
This kind of gossip news could be said to have been heard by everyone in Jingzhou, from Liu Biao to ordinary people!
After Cai Mao and the others arrived at the Prefecture Overseer's Mansion, Liu Biao took out Kou Feng's letter and let everyone read it one by one!
"Tell me, how should I deal with this matter? This Kou Feng is extraordinarily brave. If I offend him for no reason, it will be very disadvantageous to our Jing State!”
After Liu Biao spoke, everyone below looked at each other. Cai Mao was the first to speak!
"My lord, I think that Kou Feng's martial arts are very strong. If I can take him in for my own use, wouldn't it increase the strength of my Jing state army?”
"After all, our Jing State and Jiang Dong are mortal enemies. Cao Cao in the north is restless, and our Jing State is surrounded by enemies. With such a fierce general joining us, we can calm the hearts of the people in Jing State!”
Liu Biao nodded when he heard Cai Mao's words!
"That's right, Cai Mao's words make sense. Then what do you think about Kuai Yue?”
Liu Biao liked to maintain a balance in employing people. After asking Cai Mao's opinion, he would definitely ask Kuai Yue's opinion again!
Therefore, when Kuai Yue heard Liu Biao's words, he thought for a while and said,"
"My lord, I think that General Cai's words are reasonable, but Kou Feng was able to defeat Guan Yu so easily, so we must guard against him!”
"Thus, we can place Kou Feng under the command of the Yellow Patriarch of Jiangxia. With the Yellow Patriarch there, he can suppress Kou Feng!”
Liu Biao also nodded his head when he heard what Kuai Yue said. He felt that it was very reasonable!
Speaking of which, Huang Zu was actually the " Jing State's number one general " because every time he went out to battle, he could kill the enemy generals!
It was also because of him that all the attacks in River East over the past few years had returned empty-handed!
Among them, he was famous for killing Sun Jian, the Tiger of Jiangdong, and Wentai, and was given the title of General of Jingzhou by Liu Biao!
Later, when the Jiangdong Army invaded, Gan Ning killed Ling Cao with an arrow, killing the Jiangdong General once again!
As for why this famous general was in quote marks, it was because although Huang Zu could kill enemy generals, he was actually an idiot. In his battles with the Jiangdong Army, he had always lost more than he won!
If it wasn't for the fact that Jiangxia City had two villages along the waterway, the city was tall, and there were sufficient troops and rations, Huang Zu would have been eaten alive by the Jiangdong Army!
But Liu Biao didn't know about this. He only knew that Huang Zu's battle record was quite outstanding. Even X Literature Channel died in Huang Zu's hands!
Just based on this point alone, Liu Biao felt that Huang Zu could suppress Kou Feng!
Moreover, he could also let Kou Feng guard Jiangxia and resist River East for him!
Why not?
Therefore, Liu Biao also had his own thoughts!
Therefore, after much consideration, Liu Biao made up his mind to send Kou Feng directly to Jiangxia to take up a position under Huang Zu!
……
On the other side, just as Kou Feng had crossed the Yangtze River and was about to make his way to Xiangyang, two horses suddenly came from the south and charged straight at Kou Feng's army!
Seeing this, Kou Feng immediately raised his spear and stopped the army!
As for why he could be sure that they were not enemies at a glance, it was because one of them was wearing the armor of the Bei Wei Army!
He was also the one sent by Kou Feng to send a letter to Liu Biao, expressing his willingness to join Liu Biao temporarily!
Thinking about it, there was an answer now!
The knight held the flag and shouted at Kou Feng!
"South Town General, Jingzhou Prefecture Overseer Liu Biao has ordered Kou Feng to lead his troops to Jiangxia immediately.”
"I hereby confer Kou the title of Dangkou General. I hope you can guard Jiangxia well and resist the troops of Jiangdong.”
Kou Feng immediately revealed a joyful expression when he heard this!
