New Story of Lv Bu - chapter 1243

Liu Jingsheng, who ruled Jingzhou Mu Liubiao, was also a hero with a strategy. It’s just that he’s a bit older, fifty to eight, and he’s very old. Back then, he entered Jingzhou solo and calmed down Jingxiang’s lofty ambitions, which has long since passed away with the wind. At the same time, the two brothers Liu Qi and Liu Cong were fighting for the throne, and the four big families of Cai Kuai Pang Huang went against them and made waves, and he had no intention of going north to fight for hegemony. The ancients said: You must first settle for internal troubles, and the external troubles are still far away. Liu Jingsheng’s whole mind is focused on solving internal troubles.

Before the Central Plains war broke out, the princes of the Central Plains sent special envoys to Jiangling to win over Liu Jingsheng. Yuan Shao, the former leader of the Kwantung Army, is no exception. Yuan Shao sent envoys to request assistance from Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao. Liu Biao agreed to his request, but the reinforcements were never available, and Liu Biao did not help Lu Bu. In the eyes of the sensible people around Liu Biao, there is absolutely no benefit to doing so. In their view, this Central Plains war is probably the last one before the unification of the world, and we must show our attitude.

The general situation of the world is obvious, and fools can see clearly. Wen Wang Lu Bu has the greatest power, the widest territory, and the deepest background. His subordinates are like clouds and generals like rain. If Liu Biao is unwilling to be lonely, he can join forces with Er Yuan and Cao Cao to fight for his wealth and break his wrist with Na Lu Fengxian. If Liu Biao doesn’t want to get ahead, then just sit down and watch the tiger fight.

Now, Liu Biao does not help Er Yuan and Cao Cao, nor does he help Wen Wang Lu Bu, hasn’t he offended both? Not guilty.

Han Songhe from Zhonglang and Nanyang, and Liu Xian from Lingling persuaded Liu Biao to say: “Now Yuan Shao and Lu Bu are at odds with each other, and the world’s focus is on the general. If you want to make a difference, you can take advantage of them to fight against each other. Raise soldiers; if you don’t have that meaning, you should choose the target you should be attached to and provide assistance. How can you hold a hundred thousand soldiers, sit back and watch success or failure, when you ask for help but can’t help each other, see the talented people and refuse to join! In this way, both parties’ The resentment must be concentrated on you. I am afraid that you cannot be neutral. Lu Bu is good at using soldiers, and the talents and talents will serve him. He is bound to defeat Yuan Shao, and then he will enter the Yangtze River and Hanshui area. I am afraid that you will not be able to resist the general. It is better to attach Jingzhou to Lu Bu. Lu Bu will definitely be grateful to the general. The general can enjoy the fortune for a long time and pass it on to future generations. This is a perfect strategy.” To be honest, this proposition is the consensus of the Jingzhou gentry.

Kuaiyue also persuaded Liu Biao to do this. Liu Biao hesitated, so he sent Han Song to Luoyang and said to Han Song: “I don’t know who will win the final victory today, but Lu Bu supports the emperor and established the capital in Xu County. You will observe for me. Let’s take a look at the situation there.” Han Song said: “The saints have access to contingency, but the second one can only strictly observe the morals. I am a person who keeps the festival, and I have a certain title of ruler and minister, so I will stick to it.”

“Now, as a member of the general, I only obey your orders and go through water and fire, even if I die. According to my opinion, Lu Bu will definitely unite the world. If the general can respect the emperor and return to Lu Bu, he can send me to Luoyang; If the general hesitates, I will go to the capital and grant me an official position, but I cannot resign. In this way, I will become a minister of the emperor, but the general’s old department. As a subject of the emperor, I will follow the emperor’s Order, you can no longer serve the general in the sense of justice. Please think twice and don’t disappoint my loyalty!” Han Song is a sensible person, and naturally knows that ugly words should be said before the truth.

Liu Biao thought Han Song was afraid of going to Luoyang, so he forced him to go. Han Song had no choice but to pack his bags and head to Luoyang City, the capital of Dahan. Han Song arrived in Luoyang and reported Jingzhou to the court. The emperor issued an edict and appointed Han Song as the minister and prefect of Lingling County. After Han Song returned from Luoyang, he praised the court and Lu Bu’s kindness and persuaded Liu Biao to send his son to the court as a hostage. Liu Biao was furious, thinking that Han Song had two minds, so he gathered all his staff, arranged the warriors, holding the symbol of the power of the emperor, and planned to kill Han Song.

Liu Biao asked Han Song and said: “Han Song, do you dare to have two hearts!” Everyone was worried for him and persuaded him to apologize to Liu Biao. Han Song calmly said to Liu Biao, “It was the general who failed me, and I did not disappoint the general!” He repeated what he had said before. Liu Biao’s wife, Cai, advised Liu Biao: “Han Song is a well-known person in Chu, and his words are reasonable. There is no charge for killing him.” Liu Biao was still angry and tortured officials who followed Han Song on an envoy, and some After being tortured to death, he finally knew that Han Song didn’t mean to betray him, so he didn’t kill Han Song. I can only imprison him for the time being.

Han Song, whose character is Degao, is from Yiyang. When I was young, I was eager to learn. Han Song knew that the world would be in chaos, so he should not be killed by the three males, and only lived in seclusion in the Lixi Mountain with a few people. The Yellow Turban was in chaos and Han Song took refuge in the south. Liu Biao forced him to think that he should not drive and switch to Zhonglang. Liu Biao offered sacrifices to the world, Han Song was not admonishing, and gradually saw his disobedience. This time Liu Biao locked him up, which was a clear evidence of the deep grievances between the host and the guest. Han Song’s words represent the true idea of ​​the Jingzhou family, that is, to survive the troubled times safely and wait for Mingjun to be born. Now, Han Song was actually locked up by Liu Biao, and the Jingzhou scholar-officials, who had always advocated the return of the land, were silent collectively. It stands to reason that Liu Biao imprisoned Han Song, and he should go north to fight for hegemony. However, Liu Biao still stood still.

As a result, Liu Biao’s civil servants and generals immediately lost their heads. What does the lord think? Is it war or peace?

Later, Cao Cao sneaked an attack on Tanxian County. After hearing the news, Liu Bei was shocked and immediately led all the cavalry to fled westward and went to Liu Biao. After all kinds of hardships, the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang finally escaped to Jingzhou, but unfortunately they were all lost, leaving only more than 800 riders. Liu Biao has always admired Liu Bei’s reputation. Hearing that Liu Bei had entered Jingzhou, he immediately sent troops to greet him and supplement him with military supplies.

Someone said to Liu Biao: “Liu Bei has heroic ambitions. If you don’t get rid of him as soon as possible, there will be future troubles.” Liu Biao consulted Kuailiang for his opinion, and Kuailiang said: “This statement is correct. But you are uprising. Soldiers, to eliminate violence for the common people, sincerely recruit heroes from all over the world, and fear that they will not come. Now Liu Bei has the name of a hero, because he has nowhere to find refuge, but you kill him, which will make you murdered. The notoriety. If so, talented people will have their own doubts, change their minds, and choose another master, who else will you go with to calm the world! Because you remove one’s troubles and lose the expectations of the people of the world, this is related to the future safety of the world. The key is that you have to consider it carefully.” Liu Biao smiled and said, “Your analysis is right.” So he allocated some troops to Liu Bei to supply grain and grass, and let him stationed in Dangyang to gather the defeated remnants and train the troops. , And then restore it.

Soon after, Cao Cao led more than a thousand Jingqi, also came to Jingzhou to defect to Liu Biao. With the precedent of Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, Liu Biao naturally accepted it. As usual, he made up for Cao Cao’s Qianliangjunbing and sent him to garrison in Anlu. From then on, Liu Xuande and Cao Mengde were separated by Han Shui, silently licking their wounds, collecting grass and food, and gathering the remaining parts, and they were all at ease for a while.

In March of the fourth year of Jian’an, at the time of horror in Jiangdong, Changsha prefect Zhang Xian led the rebellious Liu Biao of Lingling and Guiyang counties, and Liu Biao sent troops to attack for years. Later, Zhang Xian died of illness, and the people of Changsha established his son Zhang Yi as the master and continued to fight against Liu Biao. At this time, Liu Biao remembered that there were still two tigers under his command, which were enough to deal with Zhang Yi, so he quickly increased his troops and sent envoys to order Cao Liujin to suppress.

Cao Mengde and Liu Xuande really lived up to the expectations. It took only three months to pacify the three counties of Changsha, Lingling, and Guiyang. The three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang were all cavalry. As early as when they were allied with Lu Bu, Lu Bu gave them thousands of military horses. Although there were not many soldiers, there were many war horses. After getting the order, the three brothers drove thousands of miles day and night, and captured the three counties of Changsha, Lingling, and Guiyang in turn. Liu Bei garrisoned Lingling and reported victory to Liu Biao. Most of Cao Cao’s subordinates were pawns, and he could only fight into Changsha in the name of suppression bandits and wipe out the rebels near Changsha. After receiving the eagle letter, Liu Biao was overjoyed and immediately declared Liu Bei as the prefect of Lingling and Cao Cao as the prefect of Guiyang. They were ordered to lead their troops and guard Lingling and Guiyang as a barrier to the south of Jingzhou.

After the pacification of Jingnan, Liu Biao and Jiaozhou Mu Zhangjin gradually developed a feud. Since then, Zhang Jin has used troops against Liu Biao for years. However, Jiaozhou has few soldiers, and there are two fierce tigers Cao Mengde and Liu Xuande in the southern part of Jingzhou. Zhang Jin and Liu Biao have been fighting in vain for many years. In March of the sixth year of Jian’an, Zhang Jin was killed by his subordinates. In order to get involved in Jiaozhou, Liu Biao immediately dispatched his subordinate Lai Gong to serve as the governor of Jiaozhou, hoping to take possession of Jiaozhou before the imperial court appoints officials. At the same time, he appointed his subordinate Wu Ju as the prefect of Cangwu to replace Shi Huang, who had just passed away. But, is Wen Wang Lu Bu a person who allows anyone to bully? The imperial court issued an edict, directly appointing Jiaozhi prefect Shixie as the general of Suinan Zhonglang, and the governor handed over the seven counties of the prefecture, and received the address of the prefect. Shi Xie immediately had the bottom in his heart, and he immediately rose up to resist.

Shijia is the aboriginal of Jiaozhou, people and land are very suitable, Jiaozhou aristocratic family also respect the Shijia. As soon as the imperial edict arrived, the Jiaozhou aristocratic family cheered and shouted forever. Cao Mengde and Liu Xuande were born in two lives. The soldiers were not used to the weather in Jiaozhou, and they were very sick. The war gradually fell into anxiety. Jiaozhou Army and Jingzhou Army couldn’t move, so they had to stop fighting.

Time flew like electricity, and in a flash, it was the winter of the seven years in Jian’an. At this time, Liu Biao’s heart of separatism expanded and he no longer paid tribute to the court. He worshipped the heaven and earth in the suburbs, and his residence and clothes and equipment were modeled after the emperor. At this time, above the court, the discussion of Nanzheng was very dusty. In the remote Jiangling, Liu Biao and Liu Jingsheng invaded and searched, and the issue of heirs became the top priority.
