"Governor Liu, I want you to continue to be the Governor of Lingling. Liu Xian is also brave, so he will follow me.”
Hearing Kou Feng's words, Liu Du and Liu Xian were stunned!
They did not expect that not only would they be able to keep their lives, but they would also be able to keep their current status!
Although he had to serve Kou Feng as his master, this was already a great favor!
Compared to the other three counties 'mayors who were either killed or placed under house arrest, Liu Du's treatment was like heaven and earth!
Thus, Liu Du, who had regained his senses, immediately pulled his son and knelt down in front of Kou Feng, his face full of excitement!
"The defeated general (subject) is willing to die for the lord for receiving such love from the lord!”
"Ding-dong. Liu Du and Liu Xian's loyalty has increased. Their current loyalty is 85!”
Hearing the system notification, Kou Feng helped the two of them up!
Otherwise, if he had given Liu Du and his son so much honor, and they still had barely passable loyalty to Kou Feng, Kou Feng would definitely kill them on the spot!
Fortunately, the father and son had chosen the right path!
After making arrangements for Liu Du and Liu Xian, Yang Zaixing invited Kou Feng into Lingling County and held a grand banquet!
In ancient times, when a war was won, a banquet would be held. Firstly, it was to reward the generals, and secondly, it was to bond with the subordinates and make the relationship between the civil and military officials better!
For example, Kou Feng had just gotten Huang Zhong and Wei Yan in Changsha, so he had to introduce them to Yang Zaixing and the others!
Hence, when Kou Feng and the others arrived at the Prefectural Governor's Mansion, Kou Feng sat at the head of the table, followed by Yang Zaixing, who sat at the first seat on the left, and Huang Zhong, who was behind him!
Liu Du and Liu Xian sat on the right!
"Zaixing, Liu Du, Liu Xian, let me introduce you. When I attacked Changsha that day, I obtained two fierce generals!”
"And this person is Huang Zhong, Huang Hansheng, whom I have always mentioned to you in the letter. His bravery is not inferior to yours!”
Huang Zhong cupped his fists and said after Kou Feng spoke.
"I am Huang Zhong, Huang Hansheng. I am fortunate to be appreciated by the lord and become a general under the lord. I hope that everyone will give me more advice in the future!”
Huang Zhong was being modest. After all, everyone in Jingxiang and Yangzhou knew about Yang Zaixing's bravery!
Everyone knew that Yang Zaixing was the strongest general under Kou Feng, while Huang Zhong was not famous. Naturally, he had to be humble!
Upon hearing Huang Zhong's words, Yang Zaixing and the others also picked up their wine cups and toasted each other. They could be considered to have gotten to know each other!
After three rounds of drinking, Kou Feng finally got to the main topic and started to talk about martial arts in front of his own tent!
"Now, in less than two months, we have completely taken over Jingnan. We have more than a million people under us and more than 20,000 soldiers!”
"However, Wei Yan will temporarily be the prefect of Changsha, and Liu Du can be the prefect of Lingling. However, Guiyang and Wuling still lack prefects!”
"Moreover, the four counties of Jingnan are vast and sparsely populated. If you want to quickly increase the population, you have to attract talented people to come.”
"Since the four counties of South Jingnan have fallen into our hands, we should spread the news that I, Kou Feng, am quickly seizing South Jingnan!”
"Let Chen Dao, Wei Yan, and Luo Cheng temporarily take over the positions of the three prefectures 'prefects. Each of them will recruit 8,000 soldiers. Lingling Prefecture will also recruit 10,000 soldiers.”
Following Kou Feng's order, dozens of fast horses ran out of Lingling County and headed toward Jingnan!
As for the three thousand black-armored soldiers that Kou Feng had previously obtained, they were hidden in Jiangxia, temporarily under Niu Gao's command!
This was because this was a force that could overturn the entire battlefield. Kou Feng's next enemy was Cao Cao, so he naturally had to hide!
Only in this way could he have a surprising effect in the upcoming battle!
After all, three thousand black-armored soldiers could defeat a hundred thousand soldiers!
Their combat strength far surpassed the Tiger Leopard Cavalry, Western Liang Iron Cavalry, and other elite cavalrymen of the same generation!
If he included the Bei Wei Army, there would be a total of 3,500 heavy armored cavalry. Even if Cao Cao's million strong army attacked, Kou Feng would still have some confidence!
……
As Kou Feng spread the news, the citizens of Jing State finally found out that he had completely taken down the five counties of South Jing!
Moreover, the population under his rule had reached more than two million. As the various counties began to expand their armies, there were a total of 110,000 combat soldiers and auxiliary soldiers!
Even though 30,000 of them were new soldiers, Kou Feng still had the coming winter to develop. By then, these 30,000 new soldiers would be able to guard the five counties of Jingnan!
The soldiers who were previously auxiliary soldiers would also become combat soldiers!
By the spring of next year, Kou Feng would have 80,000 soldiers, including 7,000 cavalrymen and 20,000 navy!
Hence, Kou Feng had chosen a good time to take down Jingnan. Winter was about to arrive, and the Yangtze River might freeze over!
Therefore, even if Liu Biao wanted to make a move against Kou Feng after learning about this, he could only wait for three months!
And this kind of military strength was exactly all the troops that Jiang Dong could take out at the moment!
Since Jiang Dong could defeat Cao Cao's million strong army, then why couldn't Kou Feng defeat him when he was familiar with the Battle of Red Cliff?
Right now, Kou Feng had gathered all of Jingnan's forces. The number of soldiers, the population of the people, and the civil and military officials under him were no weaker than those in River East!
In the future, no matter how much Sun Quan hated him, it would be useless!
Because he would not easily start a war with a force that was equal to him or even stronger than him!
Unless Sun Quan had absolute confidence, as the ruler of River East, Sun Quan wouldn't risk the entire River East!
After the news that Kou Feng had taken over the four counties in Jingnan in just a month, the world was shocked!
Of course, due to the slow spread of news during the Three Kingdoms period, more than half a month had passed when others learned of this matter!
