three kings

Chapter 153
Liu Biao was worrying about Sun Can, when he heard that someone could save Jingzhou, he was overjoyed and asked, "Which hero can save Jingzhou?"

Liu Pan said respectfully: "It is the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang who broke the yellow scarf."

"Oh!" Liu Biao responded, thought for a while, and said, "Could it be Liu Xuzhou who is famous for his 'benevolence and righteousness'? It is said that he is a descendant of Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan, and is a close relative of my ancestor King Lu Gong. Hurry up, please...quickly, please..."

After a while, the three brothers Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Yan walked into the meeting hall of Jingzhou Mu's government office one after another.

The three of them paid homage one after another.

Liu Biao was quite enthusiastic and laughed and said, "Xuande doesn't need to be too much. You and I are both relatives of the Han family. My ancestors King Lu Gong of the Han Dynasty and King Jing of Zhongshan are also close relatives. We don't have to wait too politely. If you don't mind, Just call me brother."

At this moment, Liu Bei felt that he was in distress and wanted something from others. Seeing Liu Biao treated him so politely, he even claimed it was true, and treated him like a brother, and regarded Liu Biao as his elder brother.

Liu Bei boasted: "Lv Bu came to vote, and he didn't care about his background. He treated him with sincerity. He did not neglect the grain and grass city. I hate this thief who is ambitious and wants to plot against me in Xuzhou. It's really a mistake. If he didn't listen to the good words of his third brother that day , insisting on taking in Lv Bu, how could it have come to such a state."

Liu Biao also sighed: "Brother's situation is not much better. Sun Canjun is brave and good at fighting, and there are many talents in his hands. Nanyang is almost completely submerged. Brother Yu's prospects are worrying. My brother is here at this time, it is not the right time You can leave quickly, if Jingzhou is still alive in the future, I will apologize to my virtuous brother in person."

Liu Bei had already heard about Sun Can's attack on Liu Biao, and said curiously: "Sun Can is a man, I have dealt with him before. He is an upright person, and he is by no means unreasonable. There must be some misunderstanding between my brother and Sun Can. It is better to let my brother Brother, go to clear up the misunderstanding?"

Liu Biao had a wry smile on his face, it was hard to say, he couldn't say that he kidnapped Sun Can's parents, so that Sun Can hated him to the bone, right?At this moment, what else could he do other than smile wryly?
It was already a great kindness for Sun Can not to spread the matter, how dare he slander Sun Can at will.If he was offended and the news spread that he had kidnapped Sun Zhe and his wife, his reputation would be ruined immediately and he would be cast aside by the world.

In fact, it wasn't that Sun Can didn't say anything out of good intentions, but that Sun Zhe didn't want Sun Can to use this to damage the prestige of the big man.

The prestige of the big man is not enough, as long as the news spreads that Liu Biao robbed Sun Zhe and his wife, the world will cast aside Liu Biao, and the reputation of the big man will also be damaged.

Therefore, Sun Zhe strictly ordered Sun Can not to use this method to deal with Liu Biao.

Of course, this is not what Liu Biao can know.

When Liu Bei saw Liu Biao, his face showed embarrassment. He knew that the other party had something to hide, so he stopped asking.Originally homeless, he followed Zhang Yan's advice and came to Jingzhou to join Liu Biao.

Now that Liu Biao was in trouble, it was time for him to help. He immediately said: "No matter what the grievances between elder brother and Sun Can are, we should not fight each other. It is not right or wrong to make the people suffer. In short, he is seeking Jingzhou. In fact, I am willing to lead the army to resist on behalf of my elder brother."

What Liu Biao said earlier was just a matter of appearances, he didn't want Liu Bei to leave at all, how could he not be happy now that Liu Bei took over all the burdens, and immediately said: "Biao will immediately allocate [-] troops to my younger brother, and my younger brother will go to Xinye to guard it. "

At this moment, Liu Biao had no choice but to trust Liu Bei.

The three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang walked out of the mansion, and saw Liu Pan standing guard outside the mansion.

When Liu Pan saw Liu, Guan, and Zhang walking out, he immediately went up to meet them and said, "Hello, three uncles. I don't know where you want to go."

Liu Bei smiled kindly: "Brother has prepared a mansion in South Street for his preparations, and he is planning to go there to rest."

Liu Pan looked around and saw no one around, so he said, "Three uncles, you must have many questions in your mind. If there is nothing important, can you go with your nephew?"

Liu Bei felt that something was wrong, and was about to refuse, when Zhang Yan said first: "Mr.

Liu Bei glanced at Zhang Yan, unable to refute, so he had to make a gesture of please.

Liu Pan happily led the way forward.

Guan Yu tugged at Zhang Yan's shirt, and said in a low voice, "Brother, I didn't want to go at first, why did the third brother persecute my brother so much?"

Zhang Yan replied in a low voice: "The relationship in Jingzhou is complicated. If the eldest brother wants to restore the Han Dynasty, he must have a territory. Jingzhou has a large population and is an excellent place for development. If the eldest brother takes it, it will be generous and magnanimous." With his character, Jingzhou will be governed within a few years.

At the same time, you can compete with Yuan Shao, Sun Can, Cao Cao and other heroes.

The most urgent task is to find out the current situation in Jingzhou. Liu Pan is a breakthrough here, and we should take good care of it.

Also, don't let the eldest brother know about this matter, otherwise, with his virtue, all previous efforts will be wasted. "

Guan Yu nodded slightly. He knew that his third younger brother seemed rough, but he was as careful as a hair. He may not be as good as himself in leading the army, but he is much better than himself in terms of strategy.

The four walked forward.

As everyone knows, behind the four of them, a pair of sinister eyes looked at them from the corner of the wall, with murderous intent flashing in their eyes.

However, Liu Pan came to the largest restaurant in Xiangyang on behalf of the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang. Like a regular customer here, Liu Pan went straight to the second floor without saying hello.

The three of them followed closely behind and came to a separate room.

The food and drink are ready in the room, and a young man is looking out the window, as if waiting for someone.

Hearing the sound, he immediately turned around, looked at the person coming, and immediately bowed: "Nephew Liu Qi has seen uncle?"

"Young master?" Liu Bei looked very surprised when he saw the thin and pale young master in front of him.

Of course, Liu Bei is also a person who has seen the world, so he immediately regained his composure and said, "It turns out to be the eldest son. I don't know why the eldest son invited Bei to come here?"

Liu Qi suddenly knelt down in front of Liu Bei and said in a sobbing voice, "The stepmother is vicious and unwilling to tolerate, her life is at stake, please uncle, save my father, save Qi'er."

Liu Bei was at a loss for a moment, he hurriedly helped Liu Qi up, and postponed in a gentle voice: "This matter is a matter of my nephew's housework, and there is nothing Bei can do about it."

Liu Qi said: "What the stepmother does is not the word 'housework', it can be said. The stepmother Cai colluded with Cai Mao and others to confuse my father everywhere. My father was deeply deceived by the Cai family and did countless rebellious things."

Then, he told Liu Bei about the crimes of Cai and Cai Mao, including attacking Wancheng, kidnapping Sun Zhe and his wife, raising taxes, and recruiting soldiers, etc., to Liu Bei.

Brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang were all dumbfounded after hearing this. They were just weird at first.I don't know why Sun Can competed against Liu Biao everywhere, but he didn't expect the inside story to be so complicated.

Liu Bei sighed loudly: "Brother, how can you be so unwise. It is wrong to believe in slander and seize Sun Can's city, but afterward, he took Qi's parents as hostages. No wonder Sun Can was so angry and made his brother his enemy everywhere."

Liu Qi instigated: "Uncle, these are the crimes of the Cai family and Cai Mao, and have nothing to do with my father. Now the military power is almost in the hands of Cai Mao, and there is no one in Jingzhou who can fight against Cai Mao. But now that uncle is here, I believe it will definitely be done." It can eradicate Cai Mao's cancer."

Liu Bei remained silent, thought for a long time, and said, "At this moment, the stakes are very important, and we'd better be careful. When we see the situation clearly, we'll make a long-term plan. The most urgent thing is to withdraw Sun Can's army."

Liu Qi hastily said yes, with bursts of joyful smiles on his pale face, and said in his heart: "At this moment, Cai Mao should know that we are talking today. With Cai Mao's character, he will definitely think that we have an alliance, and we will definitely treat each other You make things difficult in every possible way, and when the time comes...hehe! If you don’t help me, I won’t be able to.”

Thinking of this, the smile on Liu Qi's face became even wider.

********************************
Wancheng official residence, meeting hall.

After several days of getting along, Sun Can has a deep understanding of Jia Xu.

Of course, this understanding is only limited to Jia Xu's ability, not everything about him.Jia Xu's official position is the master book, and the task of the master book is to collect documents, handle affairs, and important staff members in the shogunate, participate in confidential affairs, and general consulate affairs.The position is not high, but it is very important. Like the secretary of later generations, he follows Sun Can everywhere and assists him in dealing with big and small matters.

Some of Sun Can's ministers still don't understand why Sun Can keeps such a person as Jia Xu by his side.But some people are very clear that the most suitable position for Jia Xu is the chief bookkeeper, to be precise, it is the shadow of Sun Can.

Jia Xu's wisdom lies in trying to figure out people's hearts, and she can see through things that many people can't see through.Every time it is critical, I can remind my monarch how to make the right choice.

There are some things that Sun Can can't and cannot do, Jia Xu will make the decision without authorization and do it for Sun Can.

For example, in the early Han Dynasty, Chen Ping's schemes were vicious and deceitful, which is rare in the world, and Zhang Liang, the conspirator of the sage, may not be as good as him.

Soldier Han Xin thinks too highly of himself, is arrogant and arrogant, and is also extremely narrow-minded. He thinks that Liu Bang can do everything else, and he argues with Liu Bang everywhere. Every time he disagrees with him, he forces Liu Bang to admit his mistake to him.Later, Liu Bang was tightly besieged in Xingyang by Xiang Yu. The situation was critical and his life was at stake.

However, Han Xin, relying on his military achievements, forced Liu Bang to make him King of Qi with a commanding tone, and drank and had fun in Linzi, the capital of Qi State. demeanor.

Liu Bang once again endured Han Xin's arrogance and made him king.

The world is settled, Liu Bang was afraid of Han Xin's talent, not to mention Han Xin's arrogance and arrogance, he often ignored Liu Bang, but Liu Bang didn't want to be accused of killing heroes, but Han Xin was a threat to the big man for a day.

All the soldiers under Liu Bang said they would punish Han Xin.Only Chen Ping, at the most critical moment, saw the current situation clearly, figured out what Han Xin was thinking, and captured Han Xin, the invincible generalissimo, in Yunmengze with an ordinary plan of "please enter the urn". A war was fought, which eliminated the root cause of another division and separatism, and maintained the unity and stability of the new dynasty.

Jia Xu and Chen Ping have a lot of acquaintances, that is, ruthless.

No matter how good or how good a strategist is, there are times when he is emotional, or the authorities are delusional.But Jia Xu does not, the life and death of the world has nothing to do with them, they can look at everything leisurely as a bystander.

Therefore, their thinking is more rational than anyone else.

Such a person can only achieve unexpected results if he is placed beside him to work.

Sun Can kept Jia Xu by his side because he chose his talents.
