Chapter 594 Jingzhou's plan

Jingzhou.

Xiangyang, the state shepherd's house.

Liu Biao sits face to face on the high hall. He is in the middle of his forties and pays great attention to his appearance. He wears a jade crown on his head, is dressed in neat and meticulous robes, and has a trace of sharpness in his long and narrow eyes.

He flipped through the bamboo slips in his hand, looked at them, and then said to a scribe on the left: "Zi Rou, what do you think Chang'an will give to XX?"

"It depends on what Chang'an wants!"

The elegant scribe said softly: "Grand Master Dong is now in charge of the imperial court. All he needs is the support of the local government. My lord has already given him face by letting the envoys enter the capital. If he doesn't want it, then we don't need the imperial court's support either!"

The literati's name is Kuai Liang, the head of the Kuai family of Jingzhou family, a famous scholar in Jingzhou, known as Kuaigong, and his style name is Zirou.

When Liu Biao rode into Jingzhou and into Yicheng, it was Kuai Yue who met him.

It was because of Kuai Liang's full support that almost dozens of aristocratic families in Jingzhou were dispatched to support him, so that he could smoothly enter the leaderless Jingzhou, take the position of the lord of Jingzhou in one fell swoop, and become the shepherd of Jingzhou.

The Kuai family was his first supporter in Jingzhou.

Moreover, Kuai Liang's ability made him very dependent.

This is his number one strategist.

Liu Biao knew where his foundation was. He relied on the support of his aristocratic family to gain such a status, so many things would favor the aristocratic family, and he never kept secrets from Kuai Liang about matters big or small in Jingzhou.

"We need a title after all!"

Liu Biao smiled wryly, and said: "Jingzhou has too much academic atmosphere, there are many scholars, and there are also many opinions. If I don't have a royal title, my reputation will be unfair after all!"

Although he has the name of Eight Horses.

But without the support of the imperial court, he would be criticized for taking this position.

"Counting the days, the alien is coming back soon!"

Kuai Liang thought for a while and said.

Yidu is Kuailiang's younger brother, Kuaiyue, whose name is Yidu, is young and promising. He is the rising star of the Kuai family and the future pillar of the Kuai family.

The envoy to Chang'an was Kuai Yue.

It has been two months, logically regardless of whether the matter is completed or not, Kuai Yue should be returning soon.

"I hope that Alienity can bring good news!" Liu Biao said softly. Even if he was very dissatisfied with the current imperial court, he even angrily denounced Dong Zhuo and Wang Yun as thieves who harmed the country, but he still hoped that the court would win Recognized, it is best for the emperor to recognize him as a minister of the clan.

"Your Majesty, don't worry about this!"

Kuai Liangdao: "Liang believes that the imperial court needs us at this moment, the emperor also needs us at this moment, and Grand Master Dong also needs us at this moment. We in Jingzhou have enough strength to be used by them, and they will not want us to be Enemy, just how far we can talk about in the end depends on the conversation between the different degrees and the Chang'an court, but Jingzhou Mu, that should not fail!"

"Actually, I don't care about Dong Zhuo's attitude. It's just that now that the court has fallen into the clutches of this man, he's probably worse than a shepherd thief. Our Han family has fallen to this point. The first emperor has become a herdsman puppet. Today, Zi You are Dong Zhuo's puppet, I just hope that His Majesty can be stronger, don't become a puppet and lose the dignity of Liu Han for hundreds of years!" Liu Biao sighed and said helplessly.

He knew very well that in Chang'an today, it was Dong Zhuo, not the emperor, who was speaking, but he was a scholar, and he was born to have trouble with Dong Zhuo, a minister who misled the country.

"However, I have personally dealt with this matter, so I can rest assured!"

Liu Biao's sigh was only for a moment. He who was able to seize the gap when the princes of the world were conquering the court and took down Jingzhou without a single soldier was not a sad man. He had a strong ambition: " Zirou, Degui wants to marry his younger sister to me as a pledge of the Cai family, what do you think?"

Degui is Cai Mao, and the Jingzhou family respects Kuai Cai.

Originally, the strengths of the Kuai and Cai families were almost the same, but the Kuai family was the first to embrace Liu Biao. Now Liu Biao has become the lord of Jingzhou, and many disciples of the Kuai family have entered official positions one after another. I family.

Naturally, Cai Mao couldn't sit still and waited for death. He decided to find another way, and planned to marry Liu Biao to become another dependent minister of Liu Biao. Only in this way could he compete with the Kuai family in Jingzhou.

But Liu Biao's wife was dead. Although there was an eldest son, Cai's daughter must be the main wife when she married in. Moreover, Liu Biao was still young and strong. If he could still give birth to an heir, then the Cai family could become the relatives of Jingzhou.

This is Cai Degui's plan.

Of course, both Liu Biao and Kuai Yue can see it clearly, but the current situation forces them to deal with it carefully. If they refuse, it will provoke civil strife in Jingzhou. Of course, the Cai family will not be able to please, but the fish will die and the net will be broken. Now, whether Liu Biao can stabilize Jingzhou or not is hard to say.

Jingzhou was not peaceful either. Many ambitious people were staring at Liu Biao's position. Liu Biao, the lord of Jingzhou, came so easily that many people lost their fear.

"My lord, I think this matter is acceptable!" Kuai Liang said calmly, with no expression on his face.

"Oh?"

Liu Biao glanced sideways, and asked in a low voice: "Do you think so, Zirou, you and I share the same ambitions, and without your support, I would not have been able to enter Jingzhou. If you have any opinions, you can speak up in person. !"

"My lord, this is not a remark against my will, but for Jingzhou, this is the best arrangement!" Kuai Liang cupped his hands, and then explained: "Jingzhou's family is intertwined. People who live in the family, the lord has the kindness to Kuai Liang and is quite optimistic about the children of the Kuai family. Therefore, if the lord can take the daughter of the Cai family and stabilize the Cai family, it will be a good thing for my Kuai family, for Jingzhou, and for the lord!"

"Hahaha!"

Liu Biao laughed, he was tall and burly, although he had the air of an elegant scholar, but more of a courageous spirit, and when he laughed, his huge momentum gradually rose: "I have Zirou to help me, like the ovary of the great ancestor, what a blessing! "

"The lord is too famous, the ability of Liuhou is unparalleled in the world, how can it be comparable to our generation!"

Kuai Liang shook his head.

This is not his modesty. Liu Hou Zhang Liang’s achievements in assisting Liu Bang are a myth that no one can match in the past 400 years in the Han Dynasty. He is an idol of scholars. good words.

"There is no need to be modest. I, Liu Biao, dare not say that I am comparable to the great ancestors, but you Kuailiang and I Liu Biao are as important as Liuhou. In the future, we should work together and hope that one day we can rebuild the Han Dynasty and rebuild the prosperous world!"

Liu Biao said in a deep voice.

"My lord thinks highly of him, how dare Liang not do his best!" Kuai Liang hurriedly saluted.

The two talked about some Jingzhou affairs.

For example, what happened to Jiang Xia.

"My lord, since the Jiangdong army has already withdrawn, Jiang Xia has to use some snacks!" Kuai Liang handed over a roll of bamboo slips and reminded.

Liu Biao opened the bamboo slips, looked at them, and then at Kuai Liang: "Are you worried about Huang Zu?"

"I have to worry!"

Kuai Liangdao: "Hold Jiangxia's soldiers and support Jiangxia's hearts. If he wants to fight against the lord, we really have to take a step back, otherwise there will be civil strife in Jingzhou!"

"But my foundation is unstable!"

Liu Biao said.

"That's why my lord has to plan ahead!" Kuai Liang said: "We can't give Huang Zu any chance, not even a chance. I know Huang Zu very well. He has great ambitions and can be suppressed. He will be The lord holds an incomparably sharp spear, if he can't suppress it, he will be a double-edged sword, and he will attack the lord!"

"It makes sense!"

Liu Biao nodded, his eyes turned with a touch of deep meaning, and his face showed a hint of worry: "But it may be difficult to handle this person!"

"There is one person, the lord is available!"

"who?"

"Huang Chengyan!"

"Huang Gong?" Liu Biao said: "Didn't it mean that Huang Gong and Jiangxia's Huang family have broken up? They have already left Jiangxia and lived in Xiangyang for a long time. He can suppress Huang Zu!"

"My lord, don't underestimate Duke Huang's influence on the Huang clan!"

Kuai Liang smiled and said: "The reason why a family is a family is because of the inheritance of poetry and books, and the hereditary etiquette. They are very concerned about seniority. Huang Gong's seniority is the only one in the Huang family, and he is responsible for both Confucianism and Mohism. In Jingzhou, only Sima Gong and Pang family ministers can compare to the succession and the grandeur of the statement. With his words, Huang Zu can hardly move a single step within the Huang clan!"

"But this person is not very willing to enter an official career!" Liu Biao said.

"It's not necessary for him to become an official. He just needs to support the lord. This matter is left to Liang, and Liang will persuade this person for the lord!" Kuai Liang said confidently.

"it is good!"

Liu Biao nodded.

The big and small things were handled almost the same, the setting sun was setting, and a sliver of the setting sun was reflected on the lobby. Liu Biao was about to leave, when suddenly he remembered something: "I said before that I want to take the mountain and build a sun, but have you arranged it?"

Nanjun is adjacent to Nanyang, separated by rivers and rivers, so Liu Biao naturally has a peeping heart towards Nanyang, and he is also well-known as a teacher. He is the shepherd of Jingzhou, and Nanyang belongs to Jingzhou, so of course it belongs to him.

But Nanyang is the number one county in the world, with dozens of county magistrates and a population of millions. Yuan Shu's main force suppresses it, and there are Mujun troops entrenched in the west. If he wants to open up this situation, he must first test the attitude of Mujun.

"Deng Long has personally led [-] troops. He has already left Deng County and headed straight for Shandu. Now let's look at the decision of Shandu County Magistrate Chen Ya. If he dies, he will have to fight to the death!"

Kuai Liang said.

"The shepherd army in Nanxiang hasn't moved?"

"There seems to be no response. Last year's battle caused a lot of damage to the Mu army. They were able to escape from Guanzhong. They were remnants of the army. In addition to the recent news from Hanzhong, Mu Longtu seems to be disarming the army!"

"It seems that Mulongtu is determined to live a stable life in Hanzhong!"

There was a look of contempt in Liu Biao's eyes.

"Not necessarily!"

Kuai Liang said: "We are just probing, and we can't see the depth of the Mu army. We can only know the strength of the Mu army after we take down the mountain capital. And if we want to take Nanyang, no matter whether the Mu army or the Yuan army, we must Let's fight, but Mu Jun is on the other side, so let's watch this battle!"

"I hope that Deng Long won't let someone down!"

Liu Biao said in a deep voice.
