Liu Qi set off a bloody storm in Xiangyang, and in just three days, more than 1,000 people were beheaded, including more than 2,000 exiled, and the henchmen of the Cai family were all hit, and those bureaucrats who were originally attached to the Cai family, in order to save their lives at this time, all fell into the well and told all the deeds done by the Cai family.

But soon, Cai's party became dog-eat-dog, fighting in the nest, and it was precisely because of this that Liu Qi was able to wipe out Cai's party so smoothly.

In the whole process of bloodbathing Cai's party, Kuai Yue, who was responsible for staying in Xiangyang, also drew a clear line with Cai Mao in order to protect the interests of his family, and saw the wind and steered the rudder, becoming Liu Qi's right-hand man, Cai's party was completely uprooted, and Kuai Yue also played a great role.

For a time, the sky above Xiangyang gathered layers of clouds, Liu Qi under the advice of Sima Yi, controlled the entire Xiangyang, temporarily closed the city gate, no one was allowed to enter or exit, in addition, in the name of Liu Biao, issued a message, telling the entire Jingzhou, Cai Mao conspired to rebel and rebelled, the crime is extremely evil, Cai's party is the moth of Jingzhou, who dares to cover up, and Cai's party is guilty of the same crime, and set up a bonus, hoping that the people of Jingzhou will enthusiastically expose Cai's party.

As soon as the text was issued, the entire Jingzhou was shaken, and Cai Yao, the Taishou of Nanjun stationed in Jiangling City, was even more frightened, learning that Cai's family was uprooted by Liu Qi in Xiangyang City and lost Cai Mao's protection, Cai Yao was both afraid and angry. But in the end, Cai Yao's fear overcame his anger, and he packed up his family overnight and prepared to move his family to Yizhou for refuge.

Cai Yao is Cai Mao's cousin and a member of the Cai family. plays a pivotal role, and is also Cai Mao's henchman, including his position as Taishou. It's all because of Cai Mao. During Cai Yao's tenure in Nanjun, although he did not rob the people's daughters and oppress the people, Cai Yao did his best to squeeze the soldiers stationed in Nanjun.

At first, there were 30,000 troops in Nanjun, and after Cai Yao arrived, he sent the soldiers home one after another, and only a team of 3,000 people was left behind. But in terms of quotas, there are still 30,000 quotas, that is. Cai Yao sat down and ate the empty salaries of 27,000 soldiers.

In addition, Cai Yao often enslaved the soldiers in Nanjun, treating them as cattle and horses, and making them work hard. Hard. But he always set up clever names, deducted military salaries, and even the weapons, armor, arrows, and some military supplies that should be issued in place were all filled by Cai Yao, so the military uniforms on the soldiers of Nanjun have always been very shabby, and they look no different from those who ask for food. This is also one of the important reasons why the soldiers of Nanjun are all poor.

Cai Yao wants to escape, and a family member in the mansion is a fellow villager with Huo Jun, the lieutenant of Jiangling City. immediately told Huo Jun the news.

Huo Jun learned that Cai Yao was going to escape, immediately mobilized the army, intercepted Cai Yao on the way, when the soldiers saw Cai Yao, they were all angry, and they hated it to the core, after Huo Jun's order, they slaughtered Cai Yao's family, and the captured gold, silver and jewelry taken away by Cai Yao were as high as dozens of boxes.

When the soldiers saw so much money, they all saw the money, and when they were about to take it for themselves, Huo Jun suddenly stopped them and told the soldiers that this was all caused by Cai Yao's oppression of the army for many years, and even more oppressed the people, and these money were ill-gotten gains, and they could not be taken for themselves.

Huo Jun has a lot of prestige in the army, he can't take it, and no one in the soldiers dares to move. However, Huo Jun saw that the soldiers were all squeezed by Cai Yao, and among these gold, silver and jewelry, there was their share. So, Huo Jun selected a cart of gold, silver and jewelry, and distributed it equally to the three thousand soldiers, but he didn't take any of it.

Then, Huo Jun ordered someone to cut off Cai Yao's head, and transported all the dozens of truckloads of gold, silver and jewelry back to Jiangling City, sealed in the warehouse, and no one was allowed to move.

However, when Huo Jun and the others returned to the city and opened the treasury, they were completely shocked, the entire treasury was empty, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of soil, and the taxes paid by the county every year were gone.

"Cai Yao, a brute, knew that he was greedy, but I didn't expect him to be so greedy." Although Huo Jun was angry, Cai Yao was dead, and it would be useless to be angry again. So he put the gold, silver, and jewels into the treasury, and counted the quantity and value, and wrote it down in his heart, and then ordered that the treasury should be sealed, and no one was allowed to open it without his orders.

Next, Huo Jun took control of the entire Nanjun and began to track down the whereabouts of the money and grain in the treasury, he first arrested Cai Yao's henchmen and prepared to torture them to extract confessions. But Cai Yao's henchmen have not yet been tortured, so they confessed everything.

It turned out that in the past few years when Cai Yao was the Taishou of Nanjun, he put the money and grain in the treasury into his own private pocket in various names, and then used these ill-gotten gains to give gifts to Cai Mao.

The matter is completely clear, Huo Jun has no intention of embarrassing Cai Yao's henchmen, the tree is falling and scattering, Huo Jun asked Cai Yao's henchmen to be released, but Huo Jun did not let them go unconditionally, but let them redeem their lives with money, and they can no longer be officials in Jiangling and stay away from here.

Cai Yao's henchmen are all greedy for life and afraid of death, even if they smash the pot and sell iron, they will save their lives. So, Huo Jun set a ransom and let them redeem their lives at a high price of 2,000 gold.

Two thousand gold is a sky-high price for ordinary people, and it may not be able to earn it even in a few lifetimes. But these people followed Cai Yao as a prestige, ate and drank spicy food, and embezzled a lot of money, so they didn't bargain, so they immediately agreed.

The next day, the gold was continuously sent to the government office, Huo Jun asked people to accept it, and put it into the government treasury, and then released it.

There were about forty-five people who were captured by Huo Jun, and for a time the gold was piled up in the treasury, and as soon as those who redeemed their lives returned home, they immediately packed their belongings, and then moved their families out of Gangneung City and to other places.

After these people left, there was no longer the same black miasma in Jiangling City, and everyone in the army unanimously recommended Huo Jun as the Taishou of Nanjun, but Huo Jun refused, he carried Cai Yao's head, and then took the property he had collected, and prepared to go to Xiangyang City to report on his work.

Before Huo Jun left, he specially instructed his subordinates to take strict care of the treasury, if there was any mistake, Huo Jun and them would die, and also advised those who deserted not to make any outrageous moves, otherwise, no matter how far he escaped, Huo Jun would find him.

After the arrangement was completed, Huo Jun went to Xiangyang alone, riding a war horse. And his subordinates are really obedient enough, they guard the treasury tightly all day and night, working three shifts, and never dare to slack off in the slightest.

Huo Jun is the younger brother of Huo Du, Huo Du was once a general in Jingzhou, but unfortunately died in a battle, Liu Biao let Huo Jun continue to lead Huo Du's subordinates, and appointed Huo Jun as the commander of Jiangling City.

Although Huo Jun is young, he is very capable, not only brave and victorious, but also brave and strategic, and a powerful man with both wisdom and bravery. Moreover, Huo Jun has always handled things impartially, never favoritism, nor corruption and bending the law, neither likes to form gangs, nor is he hypocritical, everything is straightforward, so later Huo Jun offended Cai Mao, and within a few years, although he was conscientious, he never got promoted.

After Cai Yao became the Taishou of Nanjun, he gradually dispersed the soldiers, but only the 3,000 soldiers and horses under Huo Jun's department were left, because Huo Jun was personally appointed by Liu Biao, he didn't dare to do anything to Huo Jun, but he was able to squeeze him.

For a few years, Huo Jun and others, whom Cai Yao had been squeezing, just wanted to force Huo Jun to rebel, and then he led his troops to kill Huo Jun, which was equivalent to making a great contribution to himself.

However, Huo Jun is exceptionally strong, no matter how aggressive Cai Yao is, Huo Jun just doesn't rebel. But Cai Yao never dreamed that Huo Jun, who he had been squeezing, would die at the hands of this person in the end. It's a kind of retribution.

Jiangling and Xiangyang are not far apart, Huo Jun is alone, riding a war horse, sleepless, non-stop, the time of the day is up, when Huo Jun came to Xiangyang City, just in time for Liu Biao to come back under the protection of Liu Bei's army, the eldest prince Liu Qi led Sima Yi, Kuai Yue, Wei Yan, Wen Ping, Li Tong and others outside the city to meet.

After Liu Biao and Liu Qi met, they didn't know what Lu Dao said, but Huo Jun could see that Liu Biao's face was gloomy and ugly, while Liu Qi's face was excited. In addition, Huo Jun also saw a person, a person who followed closely behind Liu Biao, that person had a strange appearance, medium stature, two big ears, and his naturally lowered arms could reach his knees.

Huo Jun felt curious, there were still such strange-looking people in the world, and he couldn't help but take a few more looks. After a while, the man glanced at him casually, a pair of hot eyes, just opposite Huo Jun's eyes, although it was only a brief glimpse, but Huo Jun immediately felt the kindness in the other party's eyes, and he had an indescribable feeling, as if he had known this person for a long time, and even wanted to rely on it.

This feeling was the first time Huo Jun had, he pointed at that person curiously and asked a person around him: "Who is that person?" ”

The people replied, "You don't know anything about that man?" He is the famous Jingnan Governor Liu Bei Liu Xuande! ”

"Oh, it was him!" Huo Jun naturally heard of Liu Bei's name, and the person who put down the rebellion of the Empress Dowager of Changsha and gradually stabilized the four counties of Jingnan was Liu Bei. It's just that he has never met Liu Bei, so he doesn't know Liu Bei.

Soon, Liu Biao was welcomed into the city by Liu Qi, and the army also entered the city, and the people were scattered in two roads, warmly welcoming Liu Biao's return.

However, they didn't know that Liu Biao did not return triumphantly, but returned defeated.

It's just that Liu Biao felt that it was a shame for Liu Biao, so he didn't make it public, and the people of Xiangyang City thought it was Liu Biao's victory.

Huo Jun waited until the army entered the city before he was caught in the crowd of ordinary people and slowly drove into Xiangyang City. (To be continued......)
