Chapter 672 The Shock of Jingzhou

Jingzhou, South County.

Xiangyang City.

Xiangyang is a land of fish and rice, a land of peace. Although it was affected by the chaos of the imperial court before, there was a short period of chaos, and because of the death of a governor, the situation in Jingzhou was leaderless and the hearts of the people were brilliant.

But Xiangyang has never been affected by the war.

In addition, Liu Biao quickly entered Jingzhou and stabilized the situation.

Since Liu Biao entered Jingzhou, relying on the support of a wealthy family, he quickly won the hearts of the people, stabilized the people, subdued the Quartet, reduced taxes, developed agriculture, and in a short period of time, made Jingzhou more prosperous than before.

This is what he does.

He was able to ride into Jingzhou alone, which is enough to show his extraordinary courage. In terms of military affairs, he is better at government affairs. He has enough experience in handling government affairs. In a state, under his governance, the people live in peace. , the days are flourishing.

This is the reason why he can stabilize Jingzhou Mu's position in a short period of time. Now it's not just the Jingzhou aristocratic family's support for him, the people even recognize this Jingzhou Mu.

Jingzhou presents a scene where the people live in peace and prosperity.

And in Xiangyang City, this scene of prosperity is vividly expressed. The two main roads in the city form a cross, dividing the city into several areas, and the left and right sides of the main road are all shops, with people coming and going, and flowers blooming like brocades. , the hustle and bustle of the city.

Such Jingzhou, such Xiangyang, Liu Biao, as Jingzhou shepherd, has been enjoying himself recently.

One of the joys is that Zhang Yun was ordered to lead the army to the south, and now the Changsha rebellion has been quelled, and Zhang Jin in Jiaozhou has been shocked, so that Jingzhou can completely free up its energy to focus on Nanyang without the southern rebellion.

Nanyang is the largest county in the world.

Although the battle to attack Xinye was deadlocked.

However, Yuan Jun's originally prosperous arrogance has gradually weakened. Since Yuan Jun's unfavorable attack on Jiangdong, Yuan Jun's previous indomitable momentum has been compromised, which naturally affects the entire Nanyang campaign.

Liu Biao has even made up his mind that after the next year, he will go to Wuling in person and talk to those barbarians. If he can appease the barbarians, he will use all the main forces to attack Nanyang in the north.

As long as Nanyang can be eaten in one go, Jingzhou's strength will definitely explode in a short time.

Because Jingzhou has a lot of background, whether it is grain depot or arsenal, it is very abundant. Now we are sending people. Jingzhou has a small population. In fact, it is not as good as a Nanyang. If the population of Nanyang is supplemented, he has the confidence to arm another [-] troops. By then Jingzhou is stable, not afraid of the four directions, and can even support him in the crusade from east to west. Not to mention dominating the whole world, there is great hope of separatist control of the south.

There is also the second joy, the second joy is that Cai Shi is already pregnant, and it is not a great joy just because Cai Shi has a son, after all, he already has the eldest son Liu Qi, but if Cai Shi is pregnant with a boy, then it is not a big deal. the same.

Although the Cai family is his wife, it represents the Cai family in Jingzhou. Once an heir is born, he is also a legitimate son, and the legitimate son has the right to inherit, then the Cai family will be completely tied to his warship. With the support of the Cai family, plus With Brother Kuailiang's planning, he can also let go and rectify the aristocratic families in Jingzhou.

In fact, 80.00% of the princes who ruled the world today rely on the support of aristocratic families to start their fortunes, but anyone who can dominate one side in this troubled world will not be willing to be a puppet, and they will not allow anyone to check and balance themselves.

Even Liu Biao is the same.

Even if Liu Biao is in Jingzhou and relies on the Jingzhou family to the extreme, he will not be willing to let his country be manipulated by others.

At the beginning, he was able to enter Jingzhou by himself, because of the support of these aristocratic families, he was able to quickly win the hearts of the people, and what was the reason why he was able to marry a woman from an aristocratic family.

His dependence on the powerful families of Jingzhou is absolute, without these powerful families, he would not be able to be this family at all.

However, as long as he has the opportunity, he will still turn his face against people and directly suppress the power of these people.

This has nothing to do with morality, it is the heart of a hero. Only a hero who will not be suppressed can become a generation of overlord.

Of course, he will take this matter slowly, and will only use gentle means, and will never use violent killings to solve it. There was no such opportunity before, but if the Cai family has a son, he will have the confidence that the Cai family can turn their backs on the interests of these aristocratic families , and walk with him.

Because Chua will be a relative.

This is a different class concept.

The combination of several happy events has made Liu Biao smile a lot recently. He even put aside his government affairs for a while while he was taking a bath, and regained his nature as a scholar recently.

On this day, Liu Biao took a day off to take a bath and went to Pang's house to visit the sick Pang Ji.

The Pang family has a large and small minister, which is not an official position of the imperial court, but the praise of the Pang family brothers by the scholars of Jingzhou.

The Pang family is the clean stream of the Jingzhou aristocratic family. They don't hold political power, but they can order scholars.

Pang Ji and Kuai Liang welcomed Liu Biao into Jingzhou.

Pang Ji's strategy is no less than Kuai Liang's. Unfortunately, Pang Ji's health is not good. After Liu Biao entered Jingzhou, he retired after his success and did not work in the Jingzhou Shepherd's Mansion. Although Pang Degong is also capable, but Pang Degong is not above the temple. Liu Biao was also helpless.

But his gratitude to the Pang family remains the same.

So he went to visit Pang Ji himself. When he saw Pang Ji at Pang's house, Pang Ji was already on the sickbed, his blood was pale, his breathing was weak, and he even let out a weak cry of pain from time to time.

"Ji Gong, why are you here?"

Liu Biao knelt before the desk, and said with a choked voice, "I will immediately call Jingzhou doctors to treat Ji Gong!"

As a scholar, he originally admired such great Confucians, and Pang Ji even operated with schemes. He was also the hero who welcomed him into Jingzhou. Seeing this scene, he felt sad and expressed his feelings.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to do this. Birth, old age, sickness and death are nothing more than destiny!" Pang Ji opened his eyes and smiled slightly: "In this life, it is enough to assist the envoy to secure the stability of Jingzhou and prevent the people of Jingzhou from suffering from the chaos of war. Lue, when you are the hero of the world, Ji Wei only has one look to advise, if your lord can have more heart in employing people in the future, it will be the blessing of Jingzhou, and Ji will die without regret!"

Liu Biao has both Liu Biao's advantages and disadvantages. He trusts people, which is very valuable, but he chooses people based on their reputation and not their ability.

"Ji Gong's remonstrance, I will keep it in my heart!"

Liu Biao nodded with a sob.

The two chatted lightly again, and Pang Ji became a little tired. He was sick and could not talk for too long, so Mr. Pang De invited Liu Biao to talk outside.

"Mr. De, you still don't want to be an official in Jingzhou?"

Liu Biao looked at Mr. Pang De, who was much younger than Pang Ji, and asked softly.

"Master Shijun, don't embarrass me!"

Lord Pound shook his head.

"External troubles in Jingzhou can be fixed, but internal strife is difficult to calm down. The people are suffering and the family is expensive. I have peace of mind, but I can't do what I want. I thought Ji Gong could help me, but Ji Gong is like this. I can't feel at ease. I just ask De Gong to come out of the mountain and help me to be safe." Jingzhou!"

Liu Biao bowed, saluted the corporal, and sincerely invited Pang Degong to come out of the mountain.

"My lord, if you have this thought, you deserve the blessing of Jingzhou!"

Mr. Pang shook his head bitterly. He agreed with Liu Biao's intentions, but his elder brother could take on the dangers of the official career, but he absolutely couldn't afford it. , is not above the official career, Mr. Shui Jing, who I have contacted, is going to run a school on Lumen Mountain, although it is outside the temple, but it will definitely help you!"

"That's fine too!"

Although Liu Biao was a bit regretful, he would never force it. He smiled and said, "If you can accumulate talents for me in Jingzhou, it will also be a blessing for me in Jingzhou!"

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

In the evening, Liu Biao returned to the State Shepherd's Mansion.

At this time, Kuai Liang rushed over in a panic.

"My lord, something serious happened!"

"Zirou, you've always been steady and calm, what's the matter that made you flustered?" Liu Biao paid attention to his appearance, and was quite displeased to see Kuai Liang's hair messed up when he ran away.

"My lord, the Mu army has broken the covenant!" Kuai Liang calmed down, straightened his clothes and hair accessories, and then replied respectfully: "In just a few days, troops were sent to pull out the water village in our Yin County, and the main force has already been destroyed." Soldiers are coming to Fancheng!"

"what?"

When Liu Biao heard this, he couldn't hold back that gesture immediately, and his eyes widened: "When did this happen?"

"Five days ago, yesterday they had swept away all the camps around Fancheng, and the soldiers came to Fancheng!"

"Damn!"

Liu Biao paced back and forth: "Do you know why the Mu army suddenly attacked us?"

Although he was a little angry, he was not very impatient, because a shepherd army could not shake the situation in Jingzhou. The only worry was that his intention to attack Nanyang would be aborted.

"not very clear!"

Kuai Liang said: "I have never been able to figure out why the Mu army attacked us at this time!"

"Check!" Liu Biao said coldly, "In addition, order Cai Mao to lead the main warship to prepare to go upstream. If he dares to come, I will fight!"

"What about Nanyang:"

"Order Deng Long to relax the attack on Xinye for the time being, and withdraw the troops to the south of Jishui to watch the battle!" Liu Biao is not good at attacking, but he is not good at attacking, but he can take all considerations into account in one word for defense.

"Report!"

At this time, another voice came from outside.

"Enter!"

"Report to the envoy, three thousand soldiers in Zigui county were attacked by the enemy three days ago, and the entire army was wiped out!"

"Zigui?"

When Liu Biao and Kuai Liang heard the words, their pupils immediately changed color.

They looked at each other, blurted out, and said in unison: "It's Yizhou!"
