805 Jingzhou Coup (II)
Sun Wei and Sun Fu died tragically in the chaos, and compared to them, Yi Ji was lucky.
Yi did not die, but was captured by Gan Ning, thrown into prison and guarded, and lost his administrative power.
So Liu Biao's series of operations in order to protect Liu Qi were easily subverted by Kuai Yue and others.
Then, Cai Mao and Kuai Yue invited Liu Cong together to take care of the funeral affairs for Liu Biao, who had died of illness, set up a mourning hall, and supported Liu Cong to inherit the positions of King of Chu and Jingzhou Pastor in front of Liu Biao's spiritual throne.
Liu Cong accepted the position with high spirits, and let out a bad breath, feeling sincerely glad for what happened to him in the past.
The ministers and generals were also very glad that the coup d'état was easily successful, and there was no great chaos, allowing a smooth transition of power in Jingzhou.
Soon, Kuai Yue made a message to Liu Cong, saying that Liu Zhang's army was on its way to Jiangling, and once Liu Zhang's army entered Jiangling, it would be a bad thing, so he suggested that Liu Cong immediately send a cadre to Yiling to resist Liu Zhang's army, and they rushed back.
In this regard, Liu Cong was a little puzzled.
"Liu Jiyu's army was invited by my father, in order to assist us in resisting the Wei army in the north, now Guo Peng usurped the Han Dynasty, Jingzhou is in crisis, and only our two families still have the ability to resist the Han clan in the world, why don't you join Liu Jiyu to resist Guo Thief?"
Liu Cong had some thoughts of wanting to resist, which was not in line with the ideas of Kuai Yue and Cai Mao and others.
So Kuai Yue began to flicker.
"Liu Jiyu's dissatisfaction with Jingzhou is not a matter of one or two days, earlier the king and Liu Jiyu had a holiday, the relationship is not harmonious, this time the king is in a hurry to make this decision, I don't agree, invite Liu Zhang, no one knows whether they are here to resist Guo Peng, or to seek Jingzhou."
Liu Cong thought about it, too.
Liu Biao had no good relationship with Liu Yan and Liu Zhang, he scolded Liu Yan, and repeatedly reported to Dong Zhuo, saying that Liu Yan was plotting against him, which indirectly led to the tragic death of Liu Yan's two sons who stayed in the Chang'an court.
Later, Liu Biao also plotted against Liu Zhang when Yizhou was unstable after Liu Yan's death, but unfortunately failed in the end, and Gan Ning was the product of failure at that time.
At this time, Liu Zhang sent troops over, who knows whether to help in the war or lure the wolf into the house?
Liu Cong didn't have any scheming, thought about it, and felt that Kuai Yue's reasoning was not in danger of the Wei army coming at the moment, so it seemed that Liu Zhang, who was close at hand, was a little more dangerous.
So Liu Cong thought that Kuai Yue's suggestion was okay, so he asked Kuai Yue a suitable candidate.
"Who does Mr. Kuai think can resist Liu Zhang's army?"
Kuai Yue immediately recommended Gan Ning.
"Linjiang Ganxingba, who is a Shu person, is well versed in the tactics and weaknesses of the Shuzhong army, and can be a general, holding Yiling, and will be able to do his best to drive Liu Zhang's troops away and ensure the safety of Jingzhou."
At that time, everyone's eyes were on Gan Ning, with disdain, strangeness, and a very small number of envy.
Gan Ning silently endured all the strange realizations, accepted the new position of Zhenxi Zhonglang, and then ordered 10,000 soldiers and horses to go to Yiling.
Not long after Gan Ning left, Liu Biao's funeral officially began.
Liu Qi finally woke up, his personal safety had long been monitored, and he couldn't run away at all, and in his sleep, his future was already certain.
So there is Liu Qi's confusion at the moment.
He was stunned when he saw his father's officials appear one after another, but none of the people he wanted to see were there.
When he saw the Chu Wangyin and the Jingzhou Mu Yin ribbon beside Liu Cong, he was even more confused.
"Brother Cong...... This...... It's ......"
"Brother, my father's death is something that you and my brother don't want to see, now that my father has chosen me to be the king of Chu, my brother still don't say anything, let's send my father on the last journey together, what does my brother think?"
Liu Qi's mouth opened slightly, unable to speak.
Obviously, Liu Biao wanted to pass on the position of the king of Chu to him, why did everything change as soon as he woke up?
What about Gan Ning? What about Sun Hui? What about Sun Fu? What about Iraq?
What about people?
Liu Qi stood on the spot, pestle there like a log, no one cared, no one paid attention.
Since this day, Liu Qi has not appeared in the public eye, but it doesn't matter, no one cares how Liu Qi is doing and what the future will be.
All they care about is their own interests.
In the end, Liu Cong still became the pastor of Jingzhou and the king of Chu, inherited Liu Biao's career, and continued to be a representative of little power, although he himself did not have this cognition, and he was still happily giving various orders, wanting to do something in the appointment of the king of Chu.
Of course, the first problem he faced after taking office was not the pressure of the Wei army, but the fact that Wu Ban led 15,000 Shu troops to enter Jingzhou when they were stopped by Gan Ning.
Le Jin and Guo Jia originally wanted to give logistics a little more time and prepare enough logistics so that they could push Jingzhou in waves.
But I didn't expect Guo Peng to send someone to send news in time, saying that a war broke out within the steel alliance between Jingzhou and Yizhou, and the unbreakable alliance exploded in an instant, so let them slow down and wait for the two sides to eat the dog before entering the field to harvest.
Guo Peng didn't expect Liu Biao to die so early.
In his calculations, Liu Biao still had a few years to live, but he didn't expect that the secret agent of the Linzi camp came with the news that Liu Biao had taken the dog in advance.
He felt very surprised, so he instructed Yan Rou to use his own channels to dig deep into this matter, and he always felt that the time period of Liu Biao's death was a bit deliberate.
Regardless of this, when Liu Biao was not dead, Cai Mao united with Zhang Yun and Kuai Yue to block the news of the Wei army's pressure on the high-level of Jingzhou, and after Liu Biao died, Liu Qi was dealt with in minutes, and Liu Cong ascended the throne and became the new king of Chu and the pastor of Jingzhou.
This did not surprise Guo Peng.
Although Guo Peng saw some of Liu Biao's operations before, in his opinion, Liu Biao was terminally ill and dizzy.
At present, the great enemy does not win over the main battle faction in Jingzhou, but actually excludes all Jingzhou people?
Using the three lost dogs of Sun Wei, Sun Fu and Gan Ning as generals to lead the troops, and using the isolated and helpless Yi as the county guard of Nanjun, Huang Zhong and Wenpin, the meritorious generals of Zhang Xian of the Southern Expedition, are not much better than the extreme operation of Zhao Gou's thirteen gold medals to recall Yue Fei.
He has no foundation in Jingzhou, no conditions for Guo someone, no Yellow Turban Army, Black Mountain Army, Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao and other back-handed heroes, Liu Biao's foundation in Jingzhou is very shallow, and in this way, it makes the Jingzhou people who hold real power chill.
In fact, there are not only surrender factions like Kuai Yue Cai Mao in Jingzhou.
Through the investigation of the Linzi camp, Guo Peng still learned that there were many military generals and civil officials in Jingzhou who did not have a good impression of him, and even had a bad feeling, and were not very willing to cooperate with him.
