Chapter Fifty-Six: Envy and Might, Successful Recruitment!

"Jingzhou Navy soldiers, welcome Da Sima!"

"Hehe--you guys are excused!"

………………

After the fleet passed through the water village, docked on the pier of Qingshan Island, the sailors lowered the sails and anchored, just set up the plank, Xiao Yi jumped a few times, the figure landed on the pier, the movement was as fast as a falcon!

Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and more than 100 generals were already waiting on the dock, hurriedly clasping their fists and saluting, and the gaze that looked at Xiao Yi was no different from that of ordinary soldiers: shock, fear, and admiration...... And deep doubts!

The generals couldn't believe that Xiao Yi only took fifty personal soldiers and dared to go deep into Jingzhou Water Village, which was eating bear heart and leopard gall, so people were very suspicious that it was not Xiao Yi himself, but a shadow stand-in!

Behind Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, there were a few cronies standing in the chaotic battle in Xiangyang, all of whom survived by luck, and they had also seen Xiao Yi's appearance, their task today was to distinguish the truth from the fake!

"Brush! --Brush! ”

A few eyes fell on Xiao Yi, looking back and forth, left and right, carefully, that slightly dark little face, even more care, and finally nodded fiercely, and retreated into the crowd in panic!

The burly figure, the temperament of a god and a demon, and a charming smile...... It is by no means something that can be imitated, a few people swear with their lives, this is indeed a ghost-faced Xiao Lang!

"The soldiers are deeply honored to come to the disdainful place, and they have specially prepared a hundred fish banquet to wash the dust for the big Sima - please!"

After receiving an accurate answer, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others breathed a sigh of relief, their hearts rose to their throats again, and their movements became more restrained, and some people were still trembling!

They used the water army as bait to negotiate with the Cao Ying Group, they wanted to catch a grass carp or carp, but they didn't expect a big shark to come, or a man-eating shark!

The original negotiation plan will definitely not work, and you have to think of another countermeasure, but among the 80,000 sailors in Jingzhou, who has the courage to sit opposite Xiao Yi and bargain with him?

With apprehension, the group of people hugged Xiao Yi to the Zhongjun tent like a moon, but looking at the handsome tiger skin chair in the middle, something embarrassing happened!

According to reason, this is the Jingzhou Military Village, Cai Mao sits in the main seat, Zhang Yun sits in the side seat, and the generals and colonels sit on both sides...... As a guest, Xiao Yat can only sit in the guest seat!

But today, except for Emperor Liu Xie and Prime Minister Cao Cao, who dares to sit on top of Xiao Yi in the Chinese military tent, isn't that to grab a seat with Lord Yama and sincerely seek death?

But the matter of surrender has not been discussed, the title of reward has not been decided, and now they have given up the handsome position, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun are really unwilling, which means that the negotiations have not yet begun, and they have lost a move first!

"Today's weather is fine, the autumn wind is blowing, this big Sima wants to sit outside the tent, enjoy the beautiful scenery of Dongting, taste the delicious fish and shrimp, can you be with you?"

"Da Sima has this Yaxing, and the last generals should be accompanied by them - come and have a banquet!"

Xiao Yi was thoughtful, and immediately proposed to set up a banquet outside the tent, and everyone sat together, so there was no distinction between host and guest, which could not only resolve the embarrassment of identity, but also show closer and unity, which was conducive to the subsequent negotiations!

Cai Mao and Zhang Yun understood and immediately commanded the soldiers, moved the seats outside, and ordered the cooks in the army to take out their housekeeping skills and cook a 'Hundred Fish Feast!' ’

Dongting Lake has a vast area, excellent water quality, rice is abundant on both sides of the river, and there are a lot of fresh goods in the water, including herring, grass carp, silver carp, crucian carp, bream, bream, bighead carp, mandarin fish, anchovy, whitebait, eel...... There are dozens of species, and now in the late autumn season, the fish in the lake are fat, and it is a good time to enjoy!

Xiao Yi has lived in the north for a long time, and has eaten a lot of birds and animals, and the fresh water produced in the big lake, but he has never had the opportunity to taste it, so he naturally wants to eat it, so he threw off his cheeks, raised his big molars, and ate a lot of fun!

"Da Sima set foot on the cheap land, the soldiers are grateful, please drink this cup full!"

"Haha! - Thank you for your kindness, I am very honored to drink wine in a glass! ”

"Da Sima's huge amount is amazing, I can't wait to shoot the horse!"

……………………

After the banquet began, the generals and colonels of Jingzhou stepped forward to toast, wanting to get Xiao Yi drunk, and it was best to get some confidential things out, so as to grasp the initiative in negotiations!

Xiao Yiran was not afraid, poured a glass of wine, drank five or six jars in a row, and his face did not turn red, but he came to toast the general, many people vomited, and people only then remembered that in addition to being able to fight well, Xiao Lang also has a large number of thousands of cups that are not drunk!

Cai Mao and Zhang Yun came over again and kept tempting, Xiao Yi talked and laughed fluently, and the answers were fluent, and he did not disclose any secrets, but showed a lot of truths, it turned out that between Cai and Zhang, it was not a monolith!

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, after several temptations by both sides, Xiao Yi took out the Jun Order, which was to announce the reward:

Cai Mao was crowned as the governor of the navy, the marquis of Hanyang Pavilion, and 3,000 households were specially given food, and hereditary replacements were allowed!

Zhang Yun was crowned as the deputy governor of the navy and the Marquis of Fuchuan Pavilion, and 2,800 households were specially given food, and hereditary replacement was allowed!

The rest of the officers and men of the navy, all of whom were promoted to the next level, still led the men and horses of the headquarters, and were rewarded with 100,000 yuan in gold, 200,000 yuan in silver, 30 million yuan in five baht, and a number of fine silk...... There are rewards for all of them!

In addition, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others, relatives, mansions, fields, and ancestral graves in Xiangyang City...... All of them were properly protected, and the relatives of the soldiers and soldiers were also given money, food, clothing, and livestock, so that they could live with peace of mind!

At the same time that Xiao Yi read out the Jun order, Dian Wei took his own soldiers and brought the golden seals of the chief and deputy governors of the navy, as well as armor, swords, and documents...... As for the rewards, they are difficult to transport by boat, so they can only be reissued later!

"The grace of the prime minister, just like reborn parents, recreating fathers and mothers, the 80,000 soldiers of the Jingzhou Navy must be brave and loyal, and swear to die to serve!"

He took the gold seal, the armor, and the sword...... Cai Mao and Zhang Yun fell to their knees, tears of gratitude, and kept cursing and vowing that they must be loyal to Prime Minister Cao, but in their hearts, they couldn't help but feel a chill!

This reward order can be said to be a combination of grace and power, not only the reward of official positions, titles, and property, but also the meaning of many threats, because the relatives, mansions, and property of the Jingzhou Navy are ...... Most of them are near Xiangyang City, and they are also under the control of Cao Jun!

That is to say, if they obediently return to obedience, as explained in the Jun Order, the relatives take good care of them, their property is properly protected, and after the soldiers make meritorious contributions, they will continue to be added to the rank of knight!

On the contrary, if the Jingzhou Navy is disobedient, their relatives, property, and ancestral graves will probably suffer.

"Da Sima personally crossed the river and promoted the matter of appeasement, and the officers and soldiers of the navy had nothing to thank, so they had to prepare a few baskets of fresh fish, just talking about the heart!"

As he spoke, Cai Mao waved his hand back, and dozens of strong men walked up, carrying large fishing baskets in groups of four, which were tightly covered, and inside were Dongting aquatic products!

A basket of real aquatic products, but more than 100 catties, an ordinary soldier can move, but now it takes four strong men, very difficult to lift up, it can be seen that it is not filled with fresh fish, but 'big and small yellow croaker'!

Within the Cao Ying Group, there are many factions and intrigues, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun have returned to the past, and they also have to find a big backer to ensure that they are not excluded, Xiao Yi is in a high position and has military power, so he is naturally the best candidate!

"Since it is the hearts of the soldiers, this big Sima will accept it, the specialty of Dongting Lake is indeed endless--haha!"

Xiao Yi is not a greedy person, but he unceremoniously accepted these 'aquatic products', took people's money, and eliminated disasters with others, only by doing so can he make the Jingzhou Navy feel at ease!

The gold, silver and jewels were accepted, but other things were refused, that is, the talismans, arrows and arrows of the navy, as well as the roster of soldiers, and the storage of money and grain...... Xiao Yi made it clear that there is no suspicion in employing people, no suspicion is needed, and the affairs of the navy are still handed over to Cai Mao and Zhang Yun to be responsible, and he will never interfere indiscriminately!

Increasing officials and receiving heavy gifts is not restricted...... After eating the three 'reassuring pills', Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others were completely relieved, and frequently raised their glasses to persuade them to drink, and the compliments continued, so they almost lay on the ground and recognized Xiao Yi as a godfather, if there is such an opportunity!

After the banquet ended, Xiao Yi did not leave, but took advantage of the crisp autumn weather to tour Qingshan Island, enjoy the rare beauty, and ran to the water and land villages, inspected the soldiers of the navy, and rewarded them generously to appease people's hearts!

After nightfall, Xiao Yi lived in Dazhai, and unceremoniously 'occupied' Cai Mao's sleeping tent, lying on the soft couch and falling asleep, none of his own soldiers were useless, and he directly let the Jingzhou soldiers be responsible for the guard!

Only took dozens of personal soldiers and went deep into the opponent's water village...... Talking, laughing, drinking, and sleeping peacefully, Xiao Yi's courage can echo back and forth with the Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu - light cavalry patrolling the camp, pushing his heart and mind, and collecting hundreds of thousands of surrendered troops!

Xiao Yi was full of food and drink, and his dreams were sweet, but Cai Mao and Zhang Yun couldn't sleep all night, and the two stood on a high slope, looking at the lights on the north bank of the Yangtze River, stretching for dozens of miles, and kept whispering:

"Cao Cao is a traitor in troubled times, Xiao Yi is an invincible general, these two join forces, coupled with the strong strength of the Central Plains, the southern princes are invincible!"

"This appeasement, although he has all the means, but also full of sincerity, our glory and wealth, I think there is no problem!

"In this case, early tomorrow morning, the whole army will cross the river and go north, and officially return to Cao Ying!"
