Following Liu Du's gong, he shouted from the top of the city wall!
The morale of the soldiers in Lingling County was already unstable because Xing Daorong had been killed by Yang Zaixing!
Now, Yang Zaixing was charging at him!
Even though Lingling County had many soldiers, their combat strength was still far inferior to Kou Feng's army!
As a result, the moment the two armies came into contact, more than a hundred soldiers from Lingling County died in battle. The ratio of casualties reached a shocking five to one!
As the saying goes, generals are the guts of soldiers!
Seeing Yang Zaixing's bravery, the five thousand soldiers behind Yang Zaixing were naturally filled with fighting spirit!
However, on the other side, even Young General Liu Xian had been captured alive by Yang Zaixing, and Liu Du was ready to surrender, so why should they die?
Therefore, after hearing the golden chime and Liu Du's shout, Yang Zaixing and the five thousand soldiers behind him shouted!
"We won't kill those who surrender!"
The battle cries of these five thousand people were enough to shake the heavens and earth. This made the Lingling County soldiers, who had already lost their will to fight, give up completely and throw down their weapons!
At this point, Lingling County's resistance had come to an end!
Then, Yang Zaixing grabbed Liu Xian and said to the army behind him!
"All of you, take over Lingling County's surrendered soldiers in turn. Draw out more than a thousand people and follow me into the city to take over Lingling County!”
After Yang Zaixing gave the order, all the soldiers obeyed!
After Yang Zaixing took down Lingling and took over the surrendered soldiers, in less than three days, all 13 counties under Lingling's jurisdiction were taken over by Yang Zaixing!
At this point, the four counties of Jingnan, including Jiangxia and the five counties south of Jingzhou, had all fallen into Kou Feng's hands!
After taking down Ling Ling, Yang Zaixing was overjoyed!
"My lord and military advisor really have a divine plan. They let me use Liu Du and his son as a breakthrough point. As expected, this old man cares about his son and surrendered without fighting!”
"And I have finally lived up to my lord's trust!”
At this point, Yang Zaixing immediately had someone write a letter and send it to Changsha, informing Kou Feng of the battle in Lingling County!
……
Two days after Yang Zaixing took down Ling Ling County, Kou Feng finally arrived at Ling Ling County with his army!
When Kou Feng found out that Yang Zaixing had used Liu Xian as a hostage to force Liu Du to surrender, he was overjoyed!
Yang Zaixing had always been impatient and reckless. He did not expect that he would really use some tricks this time. It was really gratifying!
Although Liu Bowen was the one who told Yang Zaixing about this plan, it was enough to make Kou Feng happy!
Lingling was a large county, and the population under its jurisdiction was almost the combination of Guiyang and Wuling counties. Therefore, whether Yang Zaixing had taken Lingling or not, Kou Feng should have come!
Firstly, he wanted to appease the entire Lingling people. Secondly, he wanted to see if Liu Du and his son were useful.
Compared to the useless and heartless Han Xuan, the scheming Zhao Fan, and the unyielding Jin Xuan, Liu Du and his son were better!
At the very least, under Liu Du's governance, Lingling County's population had steadily increased. Relatively speaking, the economy was also becoming more prosperous!
Moreover, in the original history, Liu Du and his son had also sided with Liu Bei!
If Liu Du was capable and willing to serve him, then Kou Feng wouldn't mind letting Liu Du continue to be the Lingling Prefecture Governor!
The reason was naturally because there were too few talents under Kou Feng!
Basically, Liu Bowen was the only civil official who had a name!
However, Liu Bowen could not leave Kou Feng's side!
Because Liu Bowen was an expert in both military and political affairs. He had the talent of a prime minister and was also a military counselor. Naturally, he would not be overqualified to be a prefect!
Therefore, it was necessary to recruit talents from Jing Xiang!
Moreover, it was easy to prevent Liu Du from betraying him. Since he could surrender because of his son, Liu Xian!
As long as Kou Feng kept Liu Xian by his side, he would be able to let Liu Du continue to serve as the Lingling Prefect!
Of course, all of this could only be decided after Kou Feng met Liu Du and his son!
……
After Kou Feng arrived at Lingling County, Yang Zaixing, who had already received the news, led Liu Du, Liu Xian, and his son, as well as the civil and military officials in the city, out of the city to welcome Kou Feng!
As he got closer, Kou Feng could see the excitement on Yang Zaixing's face. He immediately sped up!
Then, when Kou Feng arrived at Lingling City, all the generals shouted," Greetings, Lord!"
Seeing this, Kou Feng smiled and gestured for Yang Zaixing and the others to get off the horse. He then laughed at Yang Zaixing!
"Taking down Lingling without any casualties, you are indeed Iron Blood Yang Zaixing. I will encourage you in the future. I look forward to the day when you can lead the army alone and make a name for yourself!”
Hearing Kou Feng's words, Yang Zaixing shuddered. Then, he cupped his fists and said with a serious expression!
"I will not disappoint you!”
After praising and encouraging Yang Zaixing, Kou Feng turned to look at the old man and the young man behind Yang Zaixing!
Thinking about it, these two were Liu Du and Liu Xian!
[Ding-dong. Liu Xian and Liu Du's stats are as follows: ”
Liu du
[Strength: 53]
[Intelligence: 80]
[Commander: 70]
Political Affairs: 86
[Charisma: 67]
[Loyalty: 60]
……
Liu Xian
[Strength: 83]
[Intelligence: 85]
Commander: 73
Political Affairs: 74
[Charm: 78]
[Loyalty: 60]
After looking at Liu Du and Liu Xian's stats, Kou Feng understood!
This father and son duo could be considered civil and military, and they could be used. Moreover, Liu Du's political attributes were over 80, so it was obvious that he was more than enough to be a prefect!
No wonder Lingling was unique among the four counties of Jingnan. It was indeed the work of this prefect!
As for Liu Du, his martial strength was also over eighty, which was considered second-rate strength. He could also be a deputy general!
Thus, Kou Feng looked at Liu Du and Liu Xian with a friendly smile.
"I believe you two must be Liu Du and Liu Xian. I've long heard that the Lingling Prefecture Governor is kind-hearted and benevolent, which is why Lingling Prefecture is famous in Jingnan!”
"Today, seeing you and your son, what you said is true!”
Liu Xian and Liu Du's hearts trembled when they heard Kou Feng's words. However, Kou Feng's following words caused the expressions of Liu Du and Liu Du to change drastically!
