Cai He hurriedly looked out of the city and saw a man riding a horse from the big boat. The man was Liu Jing. Next to him was Han Song, who was rushing to accompany Liu Jing early in the morning, and there was another person behind him, but he was hired.

Everyone slowly stepped forward, and Han Song ran to the city gate and shouted loudly: "General Cai, the time has come, please open the city gate."

Cai He waved his hand and "open the door"

Both gates inside and outside the north city gate of Xiangyang were opened at the same time, and the suspension bridge was lowered. Liu Jing slowly walked into the city under the strict escort of the five cavalrymen.

Xiangyang City has been martial law, and soldiers are guarding every street and alley. However, as Liu Jing led the cavalry into Xiangyang City, countless people still ran out of the streets and alleys, crowded on both sides of Xiangyang Avenue.

"Mr. Jing is here"

Someone pointed at the cavalry team coming from afar and shouted, and the people on both sides immediately cheered, and the cheers echoed throughout the city.

Xiangyang Avenue is a main road running through the north and south. In the middle is the main road, a flat official road with big trees planted on both sides and side roads on both sides, also called the civil road, which is a walkway for ordinary people. The official road can only be walked by aristocratic and officials. Even minor officials with lower status cannot walk on the official road, and the hierarchy is very strict.

Liu Jing walked slowly along the official road under the escort of the five cavalrymen. He smiled and waved to the people on both sides from time to time. Amid the cheers, more and more people ran out of the streets and alleys.

The fierce style of the people at the end of the Han Dynasty still existed, ignoring the rules of the government and not hindering the public. If someone rushed out, more people would rush past the obstruction of martial law soldiers, which made the martial law order issued by Cai Mao have no effect at all.

As more and more people ran out of their homes, they rushed to Xiangyang Avenue to welcome Liu Jing into the city. In the end, even tens of thousands of martial law soldiers followed the people to the civil road and cheered together.

When Liu Jing's cavalry reached only halfway, the roads on both sides were crowded with people coming to welcome him. They were densely packed, stretching ten miles, with more than 200,000 people.

Everyone had anticipation and excitement on their faces. Their relationship was the most simple. Liu Jing defeated Cao's army and saved them from the disaster of family destruction and would no longer be killed or looted by Cao's army like Hekou Town. They were grateful to Liu Jing from the bottom of their hearts.

The city was full of beating drums and drums, and the sound of drums was shaking the sky, and the gongs were loud. Groups of children entered the official road and ran with the cavalry team. When Liu Jing passed by the crowd, he immediately started a roar of roars like a tsunami, "Welcome to Gong Jing home."

"We support Gong Jing as the governor of Jingzhou and let the eunuchs go down."

"Mr. Jing, stay in Xiangyang"

.........

Various shouts expressed their inner expectations, excitement and excitement. Many people's eyes were filled with tears of gratitude. When Liu Jing's team came to the intersection of the two avenues, dozens of white-haired old men knelt on the ground and dedicated the soil of Jingzhou to.

Liu Jing was extremely excited. He turned over and dismounted, stepped forward and helped the old man up, and took the earthen jar from their hands.

He immediately got on a carriage and shouted to the people around him: "Dear fellow villagers, no matter where, I, Liu Jing, will never abandon the elders of Jingzhou. I am willing to lead my soldiers to ensure the safety of Jingzhou."

Liu Jing's words attracted a rainstorm of applause, and the excitement of tens of thousands of people around him reached its peak.

"Long live the state governor"

Several big men jumped onto the big rock and guided the people around to raise their arms and shout, "Long live"

In everyone's heart, their state governor is Gong Jing, and everyone shouted, and the roars of tens of thousands of people resounded throughout Xiangyang City, "Long live the state governor"

"Long live King Jing"

Everyone forgot at this time. Now Liu Jing is not the governor of Jingzhou, and they also forgot that it was still during Liu Biao's mourning period.

.........

Liu Biao's spiritual shed was placed in front of the prefecture hall for worshiping military and civilians and officials from all over the country. It was surrounded by white banners and umbrellas, covering the sky and the earth, making it spectacular.

The coffin was parked in a special tent behind. It was early summer and the weather was getting hotter and the tent was filled with huge ice cubes taken from the ice cellar.

Although Buddhism had not been widely popularized in the late Han Dynasty, there were already many Buddhists in the upper class. In Liu Biao's spiritual shed, twenty monks from Baoling Temple were used to Chao.

Liu Jinghe was welcomed into the spirit shed for worship. Liu Jing knelt in front of Liu Biao's coffin and spiritual throne and kowtowed and bowed, silently chanting in his heart: "Although we have no such thing as uncle and nephew, we have a relationship with nephew. May my uncle's spirit rest in peace, and may my uncle's spirit protect my nephew forever protecting my nephew."

Liu Cong stared at Liu Jing with a complicated expression. He used to be a revenge between Cai Shaoyu and Liu Jing because of Cai Shaoyu, but at this time Cai Shaoyu was just a rice grain on his clothes. He no longer cared about it. The Cai family's manipulation of him was the hatred in his heart.

Deep down, he even longed for Liu Jing to return to Xiangyang, kill the Cai family, and eliminate the roots. He would rather not be the governor of this puppet state, and would rather be a pampered Duke Cong.

At this time, Liu Jing rose up and said to Liu Cong: "My uncle has passed away. I hope the second brother can inform the elder brother to come and worship to fulfill his father's ethics."

Liu Cong smiled bitterly, and he couldn't help but have no right to invite his elder brother to Xiangyang. Liu Cong's lips moved, and he wanted to speak but stopped. Liu Jing saw his hesitation and asked again: "Do you have anything to say to me?"

Liu Cong sighed, "Father did not read you wrongly. It is true that only you can protect Jingzhou. I disappointed my father."

At this time, the neighbor came forward and asked, "Before the spirit of the state's master, please tell the truth. The state's master will let the state's master inherit the Jingzhou master before his death."

Liu Cong looked extremely ashamed and lowered his head. He glanced at his father's spiritual position and nodded silently. Pin glared at his eyes. Just as he was about to question Liu Cong, Liu Jing patted Pin's shoulder and whispered: "Don't say anything more today, let the governor rest in peace."

Pin looked sad and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

............

Outside the spirit shed, more than a dozen senior officials including Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, Deng Yi were patiently waiting for Liu Jing to come out for sacrifice.

According to their prior arrangement, the next ceremony should be Liu Jinghe's appointment to visit the New South Wales Patriarch, but there was no agreement in advance and we still need to negotiate with Liu Jing.

At this time, Cai Mao's expression was gloomy. He never expected that hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Xiangcheng would come to greet Liu Jing regardless of his martial law order, which undoubtedly gave him a loud slap.

What annoyed him even more was that the long live the provincial governors made him angry. He had realized that Liu Jing's real purpose in entering the city was not to come to worship his uncle, but to take advantage of the opportunity of great victory to enter Xiangyang to win the hearts of the people and increase his reputation.

Thinking of the support of hundreds of thousands of people towards Liu Jing, Cai Mao felt an uncontrollable resentment, and also a subconscious fear. Will Liu Jing really become the master of Jingzhou one day?

"Military advisor, he is out." Li Gui whispered behind her.

I saw Liu Jing coming out of the spirit shed accompanied by Liu Cong. Both of them had red eyes, obviously they had cried, and they were wearing the same clothes. They were wearing white thick silhouettes, with long strips on their hair buns, and waists were tied around their waists. They were not long, and only one knot was tied on their waists. If they were long, they had to tie double knots, but unfortunately Liu Qi did not come.

He had not been hired, and he could still hear his crying in the monastery.

Cai Mao suppressed the anger in his heart, with a sad look on his face, and stepped forward to salute Liu Jing, and advised him: "A person cannot be resurrected after death. Please beg Jing Gong to be mournful and follow the changes."

Liu Jing nodded, sighed, and said to Cai Mao and everyone: "Thank you for your hard work, thank you for your hard work. I still have to deploy the army to prevent Cao's army from taking advantage of the situation and then breaking in again. I can't attend my uncle's funeral, but I will set up a spiritual shed in Jiangxia to keep my uncle's soul and let the Jiangxia soldiers and civilians worship."

At this time, Kuai Yue walked up and looked at Liu Jing with complex eyes and said, "There are many public affairs, so there is no need to worry about Xiangyang affairs anymore. We will arrange the affairs of the first lord. If you have any military affairs, go."

Cai Mao's face changed. He had not done anything before discussing it in advance. How could he let Liu Jing leave? Kuai Yue stabbed himself in the back. He quickly glanced at Li Gui and gave a wink.

Li Gui understood and stepped forward and bowed: "The country cannot be without a master for a day, and the same is true for Jingzhou. Gong Jing may not know that we have supported Gong Cong as the governor of New Jingzhou. As a minister of Jingzhou, why did Gong Jing not take advantage of this opportunity to visit the governor of New Zhou to establish his title of lord?"

Liu Jing said lightly: "I will naturally visit the new provincial governor as a subordinate. But now is not the time. Brother Cong and I have agreed that when he officially ascends the provincial governor, I will definitely come to visit the provincial governor."

Cai Mao was stunned and couldn't help but say: "I don't understand what it means to officially become the governor of the state. We have officially supported Cong Gong to succeed the throne. Is there any problem?"

"No, no, no"

Liu Jing waved his hands repeatedly and said seriously: "It is not legitimate now. We are all Han ministers, and Jingzhou is also Han territory. Naturally, the heirs of the provincial governor should be decided by heaven and granted the talisman of the Madison of Heaven. Now there is no edict in heaven. How can we subordinates have the power to decide the ownership of the provincial governor?"

After a pause, Liu Jing said again: "Mr. Cai, Li Shou, I understand everyone's eagerness, but the state has its own laws and the court has its own etiquette. We must not do anything that can transgress and let the first lord be criticized by the unjust minister. I suggest that you write to the court immediately and ask the Duke of Tianfeng Cong to be the governor of the prefecture."

Cai Mao and all the officials were speechless and couldn't say a word for a long time. At this time, Pin walked out of the spirit shed and followed Liu Jing. Liu Jing bowed to everyone, "Everyone, I'm going to pay homage to Liu Biejia, so I'll take a step first, I hope we will see you again in the near future."

He turned around and walked away under the escort of the five cavalrymen. Everyone looked at each other, and only then did everyone realize that they had forgotten something important.

.........

Before reaching an armistice agreement with Cao's army, the Jiangxia army could not evacuate Fancheng for the time being, but as the leader of Jiangxia, Liu Jing had to return to Jiangxia to handle military and political affairs. Before leaving, he made careful arrangements.

Liu Jing first entrusted 10,000 troops to guard Xinye, defended Cao's army from the front, and also sentenced Gan Ning to lead 10,000 Jiangxia navy to guard Fancheng, Liao Hua led 6,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalry to station in Hekou Town. The army formed a horn force, and Liu Jing also left Xu Shu in Fancheng, and he was responsible for negotiating the ownership of Jiangbei with the Xiangyang government.
