The sky gradually became brighter and the Battle of Red Cliff came to an end. The Jiangdong Army and the Jiangxia Army were busy cleaning the battlefield. More than 100,000 Cao troops were captured, and tents, supplies, food and weapons and other materials were piled up like mountains. The bodies of the soldiers who died in battle were burned and the ashes were scattered into the Yangtze River.

Liu Jing, accompanied by Zhou Yu, inspected the Cao army camp. The Cao army camp was well preserved and not burned out by a fire like a water village. The tents had been removed, and the tops were neatly stacked. From a distance, they looked like more than a dozen gray-white mounds.

There are hundreds of huge tents in the southeast corner that have not been demolished. There is Cao's army's grain and grass warehouse, full of grain and hay, with more than 200,000 stones of grain alone. In addition, there are more than 100,000 cattle and horses and other livestock.

The copper coins were even more uncountable, with gold alone reaching as many as thousands of pounds. Zhou Yu's face turned a little pale. He finally realized why Liu Jing had to compete for the right to dispose of the spoils. These spoils that were rich enough to rival the country made him feel dazzled. It seemed that it was not worth the effort to give up these mountains of strategic materials because of Huang Gai.

But he had no choice but to do anything. After all, he had already proved it with Liu Jing. His only hope now is that Liu Jing should not be too much and could give him some, otherwise he would really not know how to explain to Wu Hou when he went back.

Liu Jing glanced at Zhou Yu quickly. As soon as he entered the camp, he felt that Zhou Yu was feeling a little depressed. Of course, he could understand Zhou Yu's mood.

Liu Jing was not a prophet in some things. He could judge based on some common sense that he would maintain more than 200,000 troops in Jingzhou for several months. How many days does this require? This consumed nearly half of Cao Cao's national strength.

After the Battle of Chibi in history, Cao Cao changed from strategic offense to strategic defense, and to a large extent, the national strength was difficult to support such a large-scale southern expedition.

In fact, this is only part of the supplies, and some are in Jiangling and Fancheng.

At this time, Zhou Yu took out a sword and said to Liu Jing: "This is one of Cao Cao's swords, called 'Qingyan', which was obtained by Taishi Ci's sword killing Xiahou En. I will give this sword to the Palace Master."

When Liu Jing heard that it was a green sword, he was immediately interested. He took the sword and slowly pulled it out. The sword body was as bright as jade, and the cold air rushed towards him, "Good sword!" Liu Jing blurted out.

"Why are you embarrassed to accept such a precious sword from Gongjin? Why didn't Gongjin offer it to Marquis Wu?"

Even though he said this, Liu Jing had already put the sword in his hand. He could not return it to Zhou Yu again. Zhou Yu smiled faintly, "If Zhou Mu feels embarrassed, then he might as well give me a knife."

Seeing Zhou Yu's eyes full of hope, Liu Jing thought to himself, "What knife makes him look forward to it so much?"

After a moment of thought, Liu Jing suddenly understood, "Does Gongjin want the ancient ingot knife?"

The ancient ingot knife is Sun Jian's sword. Sun Jian was killed in the battle of Jiangxia. The knife fell into Liu Biao's hands, and Liu Biao rewarded it to Huang Zhong, who loved collecting weapons.

Although in the eyes of Jingzhou people, the ancient ingot knife is just a rare sharp blade, in the eyes of Jiangdong people, it is a holy object.

Although the Qingyan Sword is a famous sword in the world, it cannot be compared with the ancient ingot sword for Jiangdong. If you can get the ancient ingot sword, Zhou Yu can also give Wu Hou an explanation. After all, Zhou Yu was a little uneasy without the consent of Wu Hou.

Zhou Yu nodded, "I hope Zhou Mu can understand the significance of the ancient ingot knife to Jiangdong and Wuhou."

Liu Jing suddenly remembered the last time he met Sun Quan and presented the Qingyue Sword to Sun Quan, and he only realized what Sun Quan wanted.

After pondering for a while, Liu Jing smiled and said, "I understand Gongjin's mood. No matter how precious the treasure is, it is not as good as the friendship between our two coalition forces in resisting Cao. I will find a way to convince Huang Zhong that within a month, an envoy will send the ancient ingot knife to Jiangdong."

Zhou Yu was overjoyed and bowed to salute: "Thank you for the success of the provincial governor!"

After reaching this agreement, Zhou Yu's anxiety about gains and losses was wiped out. He pointed to the tent in the southeast corner and smiled: "There is the grain warehouse over there!"

"Let's take a look." Liu Jing walked towards the grain warehouse with great interest.

Walking into the huge grain tent, this large tent covers an area of ​​two acres, with dry straw mats on the ground, and bags of grain are neatly placed, and they are directly placed on the tent. Liu Jing patted the thick grain tent heavily. He immediately judged that a bag of grain is at least one stone, so how many bags of grain are there in this big tent?

At this time, the surrendered Cao army warehouse came forward and introduced carefully: "The governor of Qibingzhou has three thousand stones of grain in this large tent, which is three thousand bags, one hundred bags per layer, a total of thirty layers. The grain is all the wheat in Yingchuan Army's last year. It can be stored in a dry place for three years. There is a tent for the low position, so you can introduce it in detail."

"good!"

Liu Jing smiled approvingly and said, "You are a qualified warehouseman, keep doing it."

Cang Cao was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed to salute, "Thank you, the governor of the state."

Liu Jing's eyes turned to Zhou Yu again, and Zhou Yu sighed with frustration: "Since I have signed a contract with the provincial governor, I will naturally not go back on my word. I will not take any prisoners of war or spoils, and the provincial governor will deal with it."

Liu Jing shook his head secretly, so Zhou Yu could only be a younger brother, but could not become a lord. The fundamental reason was that he was not too sarcastic and too scholarly. If he was himself, he would transport the materials away first, it would be impossible to make an agreement, and then take out a little to fulfill the agreement. Who knows how much spoil there is?

When it comes to war interests, there is no benevolence and righteousness. Although thinking so, Liu Jing still smiled and said, "Don't worry, Gongjin, after I finish all the supplies, I will definitely distribute them fairly, at least half of them to the Jiangdong Army. This is a common victory for both of us, how can I enjoy it alone?"

Zhou Yu smiled bitterly in his heart. Although he was trustworthy, he was not stupid. How could Liu Jing share the right to dispose of the spoils he exchanged for Ma Yan's head fairly with him? At most, it was a little bit of face for Jiang Dongjun. Although he understood, he could do nothing.

"Is the governor of the state ready to advance westward immediately and capture Jiangling and Xiangyang?" Zhou Yu asked with concern again.

Liu Jing smiled and shook his head, "The soldiers are too tired and need to rest for a while. I also have to go see my son. It's been a few months since I was born, and I have only met a few times. My father is not qualified!"

Zhou Yu didn't say anything else. He knew that Liu Jing was actually worried about the Jiangdong Army, but it was really meaningless to stay in Jiangxia. Zhou Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Wu and Hou had an agreement. After the Battle of Chibi, I would return immediately to assist Wu Hou in attacking Hefei. The military situation was urgent. I planned to return to Qichun directly at noon. After a short rest, I would go back to Wuhu, Jiangling and Xiangyang. I would no longer assist the provincial governor."

Liu Jing was overjoyed. Zhou Yu seemed to be quite tactful. This was the best. He patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder and smiled, "Don't worry, Gongjin! You will go back on the captured Cao army warship. As for the seized materials, I will let the Tao family caravan transport them to Jiangdong, and I will never let Jiangdong suffer a loss."

Zhou Yu nodded, with a rare smile on his face, "It is not in vain that Zhou Yu can fight Cao Zhe side by side with the Palace Master in this life. I hope we can meet again as soon as possible."

"Yes, we will definitely meet again soon."

As soon as he came out of the military camp, a soldier came to report: "Qi Bizhou Governor, General Huang sent someone to report urgent matters."

"Bring to see me!"

After a moment, a soldier hurried forward and knelt down on one knee to report: "Report to the provincial governor, General Huang captured Xiahou Yuan while investigating prisoners of war across the river."

This news made Liu Jing very happy. He received the news that the chief general of the Cao army leading 50,000 across the river was actually Xiahou Yuan. Liu Jing was looking forward to Huang Zhong's capture of this person, and now there was finally news.

Liu Jing hurriedly asked, "How did you find it?"

"Xiahou Yuan disguised himself as a soldier and mingled in the team, but was recognized by General Huang."

Liu Jing nodded happily, "Go back and tell the old general Huang immediately that Xiahou Yuan must be kept under strict supervision, and also ask the old general to come here in the afternoon, and then say that there is important military intelligence discussion."

At noon, Zhou Yu led 30,000 Jiangdong troops to leave Chibi on hundreds of captured Cao's large ships and flowed eastward. Liu Jing kept watching the departure of Jiangdong troops, and finally let go of the matter in Jiangdong, and he returned to Cao's camp.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the camp, he met Wei Yan head-on. In this Battle of Red Cliff, Wei Yan led the second batch of 20,000 troops to land. In fact, he was responsible for the task of cleaning up the battlefield, capturing prisoners of war, and confiscating various spoils. He has been busy last night until now, and he also wants to find Liu Jing, but he happened to meet him at the gate of the camp.

"See the governor of the state!" Wei Yan bowed immediately.

Liu Jing nodded and urged Ma to go side by side with him, "There are a lot of supplies after the war, and it will take Wen Chang to work hard for a few more days."

Wei Yan came to Liu Jing for this matter. His lips moved and his face was helpless. Liu Jing saw it and asked with a smile: "Do you have anything to say?"

Wei Yan sighed, "It's nothing, I'm humble in my duties and obey the order!"

"You just say anything. I have been with me for so many years, but I don't know you yet. You were a thorn back then!"

Wei Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, Bei Zhi wants to ask an order to attack Jiangling."

"Are you so anxious to attack Jiangling?" Liu Jing asked.

"Yes! The brothers are all anxious and hope to advance westward immediately and conquer Jiangling."

"But it's winter now, the wind is wrong, and the fleet cannot move westward."

Wei Yan hurriedly said, "You can go straight to Jiangling without having to walk on the water road, and you can also chase and kill Cao Cao. The brothers are anxious. Please ask the governor of the state to order as soon as possible."

Liu Jing glanced at Gan Ning next to him again and asked again: "Is Xingba so anxious?"

Gan Ning hurriedly bowed and said, "I hope to advance west as soon as possible. Not only is I hope to be a humble general, but also the same thing for General Huang and General Wen. Restore Jingzhou as soon as possible and eliminate Cao Cao's forces from Jingzhou. The Jiangdong Army is about to retreat eastward, so we have no worries."

"State Governor, order!"

Wei Yan urged anxiously again: "If the governor of the state does not agree, he may not be able to explain to his brothers!"

Liu Jing glanced at Wei Yan, felt a little unhappy, and said lightly: "Since everyone is so anxious, I will arrange this matter as soon as possible, so let's do it! When General Huang comes here in the afternoon, we will discuss it together."

Speaking of this, Liu Jing said to Wei Yan again: "I will find another candidate for the aftermath, so you don't have to worry about it."

Wei Yan was overjoyed and said with a fist: "Thank you, the Palace Master, for your understanding of your humble duties."

At this time, a soldier rushed over and reported loudly: "Qi Bingzhou Governor, Xu Changshi has arrived, and the ship has arrived at the shore."

Liu Jing laughed. Xu Shu came too timely and just happened to cure the aftermath for him.

He immediately turned his horse's head and ran towards the shore. Halfway through the way, he saw Xu Shu leading a large group of civil servants on horseback, and Jia Xu was also among them.

When the officials saw Liu Jing, they all came forward to see him. Liu Jing replied to the greetings one by one, and said to Xu Shu: "I was wondering just now whether the butler Xu would come in time to confiscate the spoils, but I didn't expect that it would come so timely."
