Liaoshui River.
No matter how dissatisfied Zhu Hao and the others were, they were still not satisfied.
However, under Zhou Jin's whip and the child's ridicule, they began to work.
November.
The Southern Land had already welcomed the cold.
To everyone's surprise, Liu Yao didn't send troops to destroy the Red Cliff Army. Instead, he withdrew all the troops of Chaisang and Pengze into the territory of Dan Yang.
At the county magistrate's office.
The upper echelons of the Red Cliff Army were discussing.
Qiao Rui, Huang Qi, and the others looked at each other.
"My lord."
Gan Ning paced back and forth in front of the table, looking at the huge map."This general thinks that this doesn't make sense. Even if Liu Yao didn't attack us, he shouldn't have retreated!”
"Not bad."
Liao Huafu shouted.
Qiao Rui stroked her beard and frowned.""Could it be that Sun Ce and Yuan Shu are attacking?”
"Impossible."
Zhao Yi shook his head.
The Directorate of Celestials had been established and had already infiltrated the counties of River East.
He paid special attention to the battle between Liu Yao, Yuan Shu, and Sun Ce, so he was sure that there was no war between the two armies.
"My lord."
At this moment, Wang Hu stepped into the hall.
"What happened?" Wang Xiong frowned and asked in a deep voice.”
"Ahem."
"Zhuge Xuan died in Jing State, so Zhuge Jin, Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Jun came."”
"Dead."
Everyone's hair stood on end.
Although they had guessed that Zhuge Xuan would die, they did not expect him to die so quickly.
"Please come in."
Wang Han Xin guessed.
"Here."
Wang Hu responded.
Not too long later.
Zhuge Jin and his brothers stepped into the hall.
He saw that the three of them were wearing mourning clothes and looked extremely haggard.
"Gulp."
Wang Xiong took a sip of tea and said with a complicated expression,"He's here!"”
"Thump."
The three of them knelt down.
Wang Xiong's gaze was long as he shook his head and sighed,"If I'm not wrong, Zhuge Xuan was killed by Liu Biao, and he even said that he was plotting with me in Yuzhang.”
"Conspiracy?"
Qiao Rui, Gan Ning, and the others were confused.
Yuzhang was a county that they had fought with their swords and sabers. How could it be related to Zhuge Xuan?
"Yes."
Zhuge Liang raised his head and said," My uncle was killed and his head was sent to Qu 'a by Liu Jingsheng. I guess Jingzhou is going to attack Yuzhang."”
"I see."
"Liu Yao withdrew his troops from Chaisang and Pengze to free up the battlefield for us!" Wang Xiong laughed mockingly.”
"Liu Biao doesn't know anything about military affairs," Gan Ning said with a strange expression."How could he have such a strategy?!"”
"Xing Ba."
"Liu Biao entered Jingzhou alone back then and was able to suppress a group of scholars. Do you really think he's that simple?"”
"Here."
Gan Ning said respectfully.
"General."
"I am willing to join the Red Cliff Army. I only hope that I can kill my way to Jingzhou in the future and avenge my uncle!" Zhuge Jin said.”
"Sure."
Wang Xiong nodded.
"I'm willing too."
Zhuge Liang quickly said.
Wang Xiong shook his head and said in a deep voice," You are still young, but you are a little smart. Your military and political skills are not outstanding, so you should study hard now. When you are eighteen, you can get involved in the military!”
"Here."
Zhuge Liang said respectfully.
"Haha."
Wang Xiong's gaze fell on the three of them and he said mockingly,""My name is Wang Xiong, also known as Zhengnan. My father is Wang Meng, who was once the Yellow Turban Marshal. Are you still willing to join the Red Cliff Army?”
"I'm willing."
Zhuge Jin was extremely certain.
They had long since inquired about the Red Cliff Army's background.
The Yellow Turban Army was the Yellow Turban Army, and the Red Cliff Army was the Red Cliff Army. The two were fundamentally different.
After entering Yuzhang, they had heard of Wang Xiong's good governance and saw the smiles of the people they had never seen before. Naturally, they did not have any objections.
"Get up."
Wang Xiong said calmly.
"Here."
The three of them stood up.
"Yes."
"Yes."
Wang Xiong knocked on the table and arranged,"Wang Hu, bring Zhuge Liang with you. Zhuge Jun, find a courtyard to stay in and let them register at the government office!”
"Here."
Wang Hu bowed and agreed.
He brought the two kids and left the county magistrate's office.
"Ziyu."
Wang Xiong looked down and said," From today onwards, you will assist Qiao Rui in managing the internal affairs. You will also set up the Ministry of Revenue to take charge of the land, household registration, and taxes. You will also take over the salary matters from the Ministry of War."”
"Here."
Zhuge Jin said respectfully.
" Qiao Rui," Wang Xiong said in a deep voice," you set up the Ministry of Personnel and are in charge of the appointment and dismissal of county officials, examinations, promotions, and transfers. It is fine to recommend talents without avoiding relatives, but if you choose people only by relatives, I'm sure you know what will happen!"”
"Here."
Qiao Rui bowed and agreed, but she was already overwhelmed with shock.
Ministry of Personnel, Ministry of Works, Ministry of War, and Ministry of Revenue. This was simply the structure of the nine ministers, forming a small central structure of the imperial court.
"Alright."
"What do you think of Liu Yao's retreat?" Wang Xiong asked indifferently.”
"The heavens give but do not take."
"You're the one to blame."
Gan Ning snickered.
Qiao Rui shook her head." Xing Ba and Liu Yao retreated. Why did Jingzhou not take over these three cities? Instead, they left them empty. Wouldn't that be letting people move in at will?"”
"This…!"
Gan Ning was speechless.
