Chapter 822 Too Much Regret (Bodhi rewarded and added more)
Liu Biao was stunned, and then he shook his arm vigorously, pushed Kuai Liang away, turned around and left.

In anger, Liu Biao was extremely powerful, Kuai Liang was unprepared, he staggered two steps, his footing was unstable, and he sat down on the ground.

Kuai Liang was also annoyed, pounding the ground and shouting. "Your Majesty, God's will cannot be violated, and the will of the people cannot be violated. Do you have to make heaven angry and people complain?"

Standing in the back hall, Liu Biao heard it clearly through a door, and laughed angrily.

The sky is angry and the people complain, do you really think that you have one heart with the emperor?You will know what God's wrath is when he is on top of you.

Mrs. Chen came out to welcome Liu Biao. She was surprised to see Liu Biao's face was full of anger and his sleeve was torn.Just about to ask a question, he was even more puzzled when he heard Zhongting Kuailiang's call.

"Husband, this is..."

Liu Biao flicked his sleeves in frustration. "Don't mention it, pack your bags and prepare to enter the court."

Chen was even more puzzled.Liu Biao went into the inner study, sat down in front of the case, glanced at the mansion papers piled up on the case, became even more angry, pushed all the mansion papers down, and fell to the ground.

"Xu Jing should be killed! Lai Min should be killed! Meng Guang should be killed!"

Chen Shi came to his senses a little bit. "All the lords in front of the hall...are you willing to spend the land to win the court's favor?"

Liu Biao sighed, managed to calm down, and explained the situation.

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Chen understood, stroked Liu Biao's back, and persuaded softly: "My husband, the people of Jingchu have not changed their barbaric nature. They are eager for success and profit, and they are known to be difficult to rule. My husband has ruled Jingzhou for ten years, and there is no one." When you were lying down, you fell sick from overwork, and the emperor called you back to court to recover from your illness, do you know that this is not a blessing?"

Liu Biao let out a long breath. "Ma'am, you are not familiar with political affairs. The current emperor is no longer the emperor you know. Do you really think he is kind when he keeps Yuan Shao? The scholar-bureaucrats and party members can’t hold their heads up for a day.”

Chen smiled wryly. "Yeah, he doesn't kill people, but kills people."

"Tell me, why didn't he die?" Liu Biao said with gritted teeth, clenched his fists, and beat the pen and inkstone on the table non-stop. "I thought Han Fu was weak at the beginning, but now it seems that he is not even as good as Han Fu."

Chen was stunned for a moment, then realized that Liu Biao was not talking about the emperor, but Yuan Shao.

She shook her head, and couldn't figure out why Yuan Shao didn't die.

At this point, does he still hope to spend his old age peacefully?

A man should never be humiliated again, hasn't he been humiliated enough?

Thinking of this, Chen looked at Liu Biao uneasily.

-

Although Liu Biao was stubborn and refused to give in, he knew in his heart that after the Jingxiang people had fallen to the court, he had lost the ability to control the situation in Jingzhou.

Even if he transferred his sons Liu Pan and Liu Hu back from Jiangnan, it would not solve the problem.

The tens of thousands of troops led by Zhang Ji are approaching. The generals of Nanyang who failed to do a good job last time will be happy to attack Xiangyang, and the Xiangyang people in the city will actively cooperate with Zhang Ji and offer the city to surrender.

At that point, he couldn't even save his life, and he might even implicate his son Liu Qi who had already entered the court.

After thinking about it, Liu Biao was really sick and bedridden.

Kuai Liang and the others were right in their arms, and immediately sent Liu Biao out of the city, and staged a tearful farewell scene.

When Zhang Ji received the news, he sent military advisor Ding Chong with a thousand guards to receive Liu Biao and Xiangyang.

-

To the north of the Han River, Fancheng.

Ding Chong reined in his mount, raised the curtain with his whip, and glanced at Liu Biao who was lying in the car.

Liu's face was flushed, his eyes were closed, his nose was flaring, and his chest was heaving.

Chen Shi sat aside, wiping away tears, but looked a little embarrassed.

Ding Chong gave a chuckle, and bowed his hands to salute Mrs. Chen. "Madam, don't worry, the Son of Heaven has countless famous doctors around him, who will definitely be able to take the right medicine and bring the dead back to life."

Mrs. Chen bowed her hands in embarrassment in thanks.

Ding Chong glanced at Liu Biao again. "The emperor has ruled Jingzhou for ten years. Although there are minor flaws, he has not lost his integrity. The son of heaven lost his parents and brothers when he was young, and he attaches great importance to family affection. He also treats the clan with special respect. Although the emperor is close to sixty years old and can't do anything, the son is rich in spring and autumn. Useful. For the sake of your descendants, the emperor should rest in peace."

Mrs. Chen could hear clearly, she hit Liu Biao's heart and gently poked Liu Biao.

Ding Chong spoke so clearly, if Liu Biao didn't say anything, it would be unreasonable.

Liu Biao slowly opened his eyes, turned his head to look at Ding Chong, and said weakly, "Thank you, Youyang."

"Don't dare." Ding Chong arched his hands, put down the curtain, and waved his hands.

A knight stepped forward and took over the carriage.

Ding Chong kicked his horse forward, came to Kuai Liang and the others, and bowed to salute. "Thank you, gentlemen. Jingzhou will hear the imperial edict again from now on. The military affairs are urgent, so we won't be polite, let's advance into the city."

Although Kuai Liang and others were dissatisfied with Ding Chong's rudeness, they also knew that Ding Chong was Zhang Ji's think tank and a trusted minister of the court.To anger Ding Chong is to anger Zhang Ji, which is to anger the court.

"Please!" Kuai Liang stretched out his hand to invite.

-

Ding Chong entered the city with Kuai Liang and others, and immediately took control of the pontoon bridge connecting the north and south of the Han River.

Kuai Liang and others couldn't wait for it.

They abandoned Liu Biao because they didn't want to ruin their own interests because of Liu Biao's personal ambitions.No matter who is in charge of Jingzhou, it is impossible to directly control Jingzhou, and in the end it is up to them, the locals.Instead of tearing up with the court, it is better to follow the trend and continue to control power in your own hands.

But the development of things is somewhat unexpected.

Two days later, Zhang Ji arrived with his army and took over Xiangyang City.

That night, at the banquet for Zhang Ji, Ding Chong raised a question.

After checking the relevant accounts in the past two days, he found that there was a big problem with Jingzhou's money, grain and taxes this year, and there were serious tax evasion and tax evasion.

Whether this is a problem with the prefects of the counties, or a problem with the state shepherd's house, it is not yet clear.But the emperor's personal expedition to Jizhou is imminent, and money and food are urgently needed.As a large state with a well-to-do household registration, Jingzhou should not have such a problem.

Please cooperate with all your lords to complete the relevant work within the year and pay all the dues. It is best not to disturb the emperor.Otherwise, the emperor will blame you, and the Hussar General will not be able to protect you.

What he said made Kuai Liang and the others feel their scalps go numb.

It has been heard for a long time that Ding Chong has means, but he has gotten along with the big family in Nanyang in these years, and there has been no violent conflict.Why did he change his face as soon as he arrived in Xiangyang, showing a murderous look?
After an awkward silence, Kuai Liang stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Military Master, General Hussars came to Xiangyang for the first time, so I'm afraid he is not familiar with the situation. Although there have been no major wars in Jingzhou these years, small rebellions have never stopped. Qian Liang They were all used as military pay, not missed payments."

Ding Chong smiled slightly and turned to look at Kuai Liang. "So, Jingzhou hasn't been peaceful these years?"

Kuai Liang turned his head and exchanged glances with Han Song and the others, gritted his teeth and said, "Exactly."

Ding Chong also turned to look at Zhang Ji. "General, it seems that not only can you not go north, but you may have to ask the emperor to go south to pacify Jingzhou first."

Zhang Ji nodded solemnly.

Kuai Liang and the others panicked immediately, and their faces turned pale.

The reason why the emperor personally conquered Jizhou was because of the obsession of Shenpei and others, and the emperor also used the excuse of his own conquest to force Dutian in Jizhou.

If the emperor is allowed to transfer to Jingzhou, then it is imperative for Jingzhou to save the land, and there is not even a chance to buffer.

Kuai Liang quickly said: "The military division is serious. There are some thieves, why bother to work hard for the emperor. With the illustrious reputation of Hussar General and military division, we will surely win the battle and achieve success."

Ding Chong waved his hand. "It's okay, anyway, there is not enough money and food, and the emperor can't start the journey, so it's good to use Jingzhou to practice your hands."

Kuai Liang and others wanted to cry but had no tears.

At this time, they really regretted it.

It's better for Liu Biao to be fooled. Although Ding Chong is a scholar-bureaucrat in Shandong, he is even more unreasonable than Xiliang people.
