Chapter 565 The Split Jingzhou

Jingzhou and Jiangdong had prepared for a long time, but they came to an abrupt end in the news of Cao Jun's overwhelming victory in the Northern Expedition.

If Cao Cao was defeated, no one would gossip about their advance.

But Cao Cao won, and it was a naked victory!
Killed Wuhuan Shanyu Tadun, Wuhuan Prince Lou Ban, and a group of Wuhuan leaders, big and small, and brought along the heads of two brothers Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang.

All the people of the Han Dynasty were cheering for Cao's army to destroy Wuhuan, the three counties that ravaged Youzhou; if Liu Biao and Sun Quan chose to attack Cao Cao at this time, they would definitely be cast aside by all Han people, and even cause huge internal conflicts.

After all, in front of the righteousness of the nation, the infighting among the Han people can only always be ranked after the righteousness.

In the quiet and quiet bamboo forest, Zhuge Jin was discussing the world with celebrities from Jingzhou.

In addition to Zhuge Jin, Cui Jun (styled Zhouping), Yingchuan Shitao (styled Guangyuan), and Runan Mengjian (styled Gongwei) were present here. As for their friends Xu Shu and Xu Yuanzhi, they have already gone to Runan alone.

"Everyone, Cao Cao has quelled the troubles in the north. I think he will take the momentum of a big victory and go south brazenly in a short time!" Zhuge Jin said halfway, and looked up to observe the reactions of everyone.

However, to Zhuge Jin's disappointment, none of this group of elites expressed their thoughts on their faces.

"If the skin is not there, the hair will not be attached. My Lord Jing Sheng, now is the time for you to help me!"

Since Zhuge Jin came to Liu Biao's place, he was loved and valued by Liu Biao not only because of his old friend's son, but also because of his outstanding talent and character.

In order to repay Liu Biao's kindness, Zhuge Jin also wholeheartedly advised Liu Biao; not only that, but also mobilized his own connections to attract talents for Liu Biao everywhere.

The previous Xu Shu was recruited by Zhuge Jin to Liu Biao's sect with great effort, but because of his poor background, Xu Shu never got the favor of Liu Biao.

When Zhuge Jin, who was traveling around, got Xu Shu's resignation as an aide and wanted to keep Xu Shu, who knew that Xu Shu seemed to have evaporated from the Jingzhou world, and no one could be found no matter how hard he searched.

What Zhuge Jin said was very obvious, and Cuizhou Pingping couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb anymore, so he could only reply: "Ziyu, Mr. Cao is now sitting in the land of Chong, Xu, Yu, Yi, and the entire five states. , has become the most powerful prince in the world. In addition, he has Lu Bu and Ma Teng to help him, who else in this world can stop Duke Cao?"

"That's right!" Shi Guangyuan interjected, "Wuhuan in the three prefectures has been put to death. This is a rare victory for the Han people in the past hundred years. Moreover, Prime Minister Cao loves the people like a son, and the officials under his rule are clean and honest, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Heroes, why should we fight against them?"

Zhuge Jin glanced at Shi Guangyuan, knowing that this brother might already be planning to join Cao Cao.

But he was still a little unwilling, so he persuaded again: "You are all great talents in Baofu, and Cao Cao's advisers are like rain, even Yuan Shao's adviser Xu You is not ranked among Cao Cao's advisers. "

After Meng Gongwei took a sip of tea, he chuckled and said, "Haha. Ziyu, what do you mean, we are not as good as Xu You?"

As soon as Zhuge Jin said that, he knew he had made a slip of the tongue, so he quickly explained: "No! You are all great talents, but even if it is gold, someone needs to dig it! Cao Cao has many capable people, when will you Can you find a chance to get ahead?"

"But I heard that Lu Yan appointed Wei Kai, Jia Kui and other people in Hedong County alone, and Prime Minister Cao also appointed Du Ji to serve as the prefect of Hedong County alone.

Among them, there are descendants of famous families, and there are also sons of poor families, but without exception, they have all been reused by the imperial court!
Ziyu, you said that talents have no chance to succeed under Prime Minister Cao. But I think that under Prime Minister Cao, talents have more chances to succeed under Prime Minister Cao than under Liu Jingzhou? "

Shi Guangyuan's words made Zhuge Jin speechless.

How talented is Xu Shu?

Unexpectedly, Liu Biao ran away in anger.

Based on the friendship between these three people and Xu Shu, it is naturally impossible to have expectations for Liu Biao.

"Well, it seems that today is another trip in vain." Zhuge Jin couldn't hide the sense of loss in her heart.

But what disappointed him the most was that Cao Cao had shown the appearance of devouring the world, and no one could tell how long Jingzhou could protect itself.

at this time,

A voice suddenly came from a distance, "Hey, didn't you guys say you were going to leave Jingzhou earlier, why are you sitting together again today?"

When Zhuge Jin heard this, a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

When Cui Zhouping, Shi Guangyuan and Meng Gongwei heard that the visitor broke their minds, a trace of embarrassment appeared on their faces.

"Cough cough."

"Drink tea, drink tea!"

Shi Tao and Meng Jian used cough and tea to ease their embarrassment, but Cui Zhouping was not used to him, and asked instead: "Shi Yuan, don't you also want to go to Jiangdong, why haven't you left yet?"

The person who came was Pang Tong, Pang Shiyuan, who was from Xiangyang, Jingzhou, known as Fengchu!
Pang Tong was the person Zhugejin wanted to visit the most during this trip, but it was only when he happened to meet Cui Jun and others that he temporarily thought of recruiting talents for Liu Biao.

Unexpectedly, not only these three people have long thought of leaving Jingzhou, but even Pang Tong, a local, wants to abandon Jingzhou and switch to Jiangdong!

Pang Tong came to the table on his own, glanced at the table, and immediately said with disgust: "There is no wine, what kind of wine is this?"

"You really don't know how to be funny!" Cui Zhouping pointed at Pang Tong and said with a sudden laugh, "Shi Yuan, when do you plan to leave?"

Pang Tong took a cup of tea from Meng Jian, drank it in one gulp, and sighed, "I went to visit my uncle and teacher earlier today, and now I will come to see you all. I will leave for Jiangdong tomorrow!"

"So urgent?" Zhuge Jin was taken aback, and said to himself, "It seems that Pang Tong's actions cannot be stopped."

Pang Tong glanced at Zhuge Jin, shook his head and said, "Ziyu, you are also a man of insight, how can you not see that Liu Jingsheng is just a man of success?"

Before Zhuge Jin could speak, Pang Tong pointed to the other three people present and said, "Even Yuan Zhi, who has the best temper, was angry and left by Liu Jingsheng. Who do you think can stay under his command?"

Zhuge Jin remained silent. Obviously, this was also Zhuge Jin's biggest headache.

Forget it, talent recruitment is hopeless, so Zhuge Jin can only drink tea in suspense.

Several people chatted for about a quarter of an hour, Pang Tong got up, cupped his hands and said: "I will leave for Jiangdong tomorrow, there is time to get together, everyone, take care!"

Cui Zhouping, Shi Guangyuan, Meng Gongwei and Zhuge Jin stood up together and said in return: "Take care!"

Pang Tong has never been sloppy in his actions. After bidding farewell to his old friend, he turned around and left gracefully.

The four of them stood by the stone table, watching Pang Tong's leaving back, a faint sorrow of parting rose in their hearts.

"Everyone, Yuan Zhi wrote to me, inviting me to visit the Central Plains. Shi will leave later today, so I bid farewell!" Shi Guangyuan suddenly bowed and said.

Shi Tao and Xu Shu are both from poor families, and their relationship is also the best.

At the invitation of Yan Feng and Zhou Hong, Xu Shu decided to go to the Central Plains alone to find out.

As expected, Yan Feng and Zhou Hong did not lie to him. Xu Shu discovered that Cao Cao's rule was different not long after he arrived in Runan, so he immediately wrote to invite Shi Tao to go to the Central Plains with him.

Shi Tao really wanted to leave, and he was in a hurry than Pang Tong.
What else can Zhuge Jin do?He could only cup his hands and say, "Brother Guangyuan, take care!"

"Take care!" Shi Tao turned and left after saying goodbye.

As for Meng Jian and Cui Jun, after they looked at each other, they obviously had a choice in their hearts.
