Jingzhou.

Xiangyang, the state pastoral house.

Liu Dial sits on the high hall, he is forty years old and is in the prime of life, attaches great importance to the appearance, the jade crown on his head is in place, a robe is neat, meticulous, and his narrow eyes reveal a trace of sharpness.

He flipped through the bamboo slips in his hand and looked at them, before he said to a scribe on the left: "Zirou, what do you think Chang'an will give so-and-so?" ”

"It depends on what Chang'an wants!"

The elegant scribe said softly: "Taishi Dong is now in charge of the imperial court, all he needs is the support of the local government, the lord has already given him enough face by letting the envoy into Beijing, if he doesn't want it, then we don't need the support of the imperial court!" ”

The scribe's name is Kuailiang, the head of the Jingzhou family, the Jingzhou celebrity, known as Kuaigong, and the word is soft.

At the beginning, Liu Biao rode into Jingzhou and entered Yicheng, and it was Kuai Yue who met.

That is, Kuai Liang's strong support, almost dispatched dozens of families of all sizes in Jingzhou to support him, so that he could smoothly enter Jingzhou, where the dragons were leaderless, and win the position of the lord of Jingzhou in one fell swoop, and become the pastor of Jingzhou.

The Kuai family was his first supporter in Jingzhou.

And Kuailiang's ability also makes him rely on him very much.

This is his number one advisor.

Liu Biao knows what his foundation is, he can have such a status with the support of the family, so many things will be biased towards the wealthy family, and he has never hidden the big and small things in Jingzhou.

"After all, you need a name!"

Liu Biao smiled slightly bitterly and said: "This Jingzhou, the academic atmosphere is too strong, there are many readers, and there are many speeches, if I don't have a court name, I will not be right after all!" ”

Although he has the name of the Eight Horses.

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

"Count the days, Xenomorph is coming back soon!"

Kuai Liang thought for a moment and said.

Heteroduly is Kuai Liang's younger brother, Kuai Yue, the word Heterogeneous, young and promising, 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's been two months, and it stands to reason that no matter whether things work out or not, Kuai Yue is about to return.

"Hopefully Xenomorph will bring good news!" Liu Biao said softly, with this hint of hope, even if he was very dissatisfied with the current imperial court, and even angrily denounced Dong Zhuo Wang Yun and others as thieves who misled the country, but he still hoped to be recognized by the imperial court, and it was best that the Son of Heaven could agree with him as a minister of the clan.

"Don't worry about this, lord!"

Kuai Liang said: "Liang thinks that the imperial court needs us at this moment, the Son of Heaven also needs us at this moment, and the Taishi Dong at this moment also needs us, our Jingzhou has enough strength for them to use, they will not want us to become enemies, but what can be talked about in the end, it still depends on the conversation between the other people and the Chang'an court, but Jingzhou Mu, that should not be in vain!" ”

"Actually, Dong Zhuo's attitude, I don't care, but now that the court has fallen into the clutches of this, this person is probably better than a shepherd, my Han family has fallen to this, the first emperor has become a puppet of a herdsman, today you are a puppet of Dong Zhuo, I only hope that Your Majesty can be stronger, don't become a puppet, lose the dignity of my Liu Han for hundreds of years!" Liu Biao sighed and said helplessly.

He knows very well that in today's Chang'an, it is not the Son of Heaven who speaks, but Dong Zhuo, but he is a scholar, and he should naturally be unable to get along with a misguided minister like Dong Zhuo.

"But this matter is out of the way in person, so I can rest assured!"

Liu Biao's sigh is only for a moment, when the princes of the world are conquering the imperial court, he can seize the gap and take Jingzhou without spending a single soldier, he is not a person who is sad and sad, he has a strong ambition: "Zirou, De Jue wants to marry my sister to me, as the heart of the Cai family, what do you think?" ”

De Jue is Cai Mao, and the Jingzhou family respects Kuai Cai.

Originally, the strength of the two families was almost the same, but the Kuai family was the first to support Liu Biao, and now Liu Biao has become the lord of Jingzhou, and many disciples of the Kuai family have entered the office, and the influence of the Cai family has completely surpassed that of the Cai family, becoming a veritable first family in Jingzhou.

Cai Mao naturally couldn't sit still, he split another path, preparing to become another minister of Liu Biao by marriage, only in this way can he compete with the Kuai family in Jingzhou.

And Liu's cousin's wife is dead, although she has an eldest son, but Cai's daughter must be a wife when she marries, and Liu Biao is still young and strong, if she can still give birth to an heir, then the Cai family can become a relative of Jingzhou.

This is Cai Dejun's plan.

Of course, both Liu Biao and Kuai Yue can see it clearly, but the current situation makes them have to deal with it carefully, once they refuse, it will provoke civil strife in Jingzhou, although the Cai family can't please it, but under the broken net, it is difficult to say whether Liu Biao can stabilize Jingzhou.

Jingzhou is not calm, how many ambitious people are staring at Liu Biao's position, Liu Biao, the lord of Jingzhou, came too easily, making many people lose their jealousy.

"Lord, this matter is okay!" Kuai Liang was expressionless and said indifferently.

"Oh?"

Liu Biao glanced at him and asked in a low voice: "Do you think so, Zirou, you and I have similar aspirations, without your support, I would not be able to enter Jingzhou, if you have an opinion, you can say it in person!" ”

"Lord, this is not a word of conscience, but for Jingzhou, this is the best arrangement!" Kuai Liang arched his hand, and then analyzed and said: "The Jingzhou family is staggered, if the lord wants to govern Jingzhou, he must first stabilize the people of the family, the lord has the grace of knowing Kuailiang, and is quite optimistic about the children of the Kuai family, which is a good thing, but if it causes the dissatisfaction of the Jingzhou family, my Kuai family will become the eye of the storm, and Jingzhou will also be unstable, so 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, Jingzhou, and the lord!" ”

"Hahaha!"

Liu Biao laughed, his body was tall and burly, although he had a trace of the temperament of an elegant scholar, but he was more brave, and the huge momentum of laughter rose: "I have Zirou to help me, such as the grandson of Gaozu, how lucky!" ”

"The lord has a good reputation, and the ability to stay in the marquis is unparalleled in the world, how can it be comparable to our generation!"

Kuai Liang shook his head.

This is not his modesty, the merit of leaving Marquis Zhang Liang to assist Liu Bang in establishing, it is a myth that no one can compare with in the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, and he is the idol of scholars, even if he is now famous in Jingzhou, he does not dare to say half a word comparable to Zhang Liang.

"Don't be modest, I Liu Biao don't dare to say that Gao Zu is comparable, but as far as you Kuai Liang and my Liu Biao are concerned, it is as important as staying in the marquis, and we should work together in the future, hoping that one day we can reorganize the Han dynasty and create a prosperous era again!"

Liu Biao said in a deep voice.

"The lord is heavy, how dare Liang not do his best!" Kuai Liang hurriedly saluted.

The two talked about some Jingzhou affairs again.

For example, Jiangxia's matter.

"Lord, since the Jiangdong Army has withdrawn, Jiangxia has to use dim sum!" Kuai Liang handed over a roll of bamboo slips and reminded him.

Liu Biao opened the bamboo slip, looked at it, and glanced at Kuai Liang again: "Are you worried about Huang Zu?" ”

"I have to worry!"

Kuai Liang said: "Hold the soldiers of Jiangxia and support the hearts of Jiangxia, if he wants to confront the lord, we really have to take a step back, otherwise it will be civil strife in Jingzhou!" ”

"But my foundation is unstable!"

Liu Biaodao.

"That's why the lord has to take precautions!" Kuai Liang said: "We can't give Huang Zu any chance, not a chance at all, Huang Zu, I know too well, he has ambitions, he can suppress it, he will be a sharp spear in the hands of the lord, if he can't suppress it, he is a double-sided blade, and he wants to eat the lord!" ”

"That's right!"

Liu Biao nodded, his eyes turned with a touch of deep meaning, and his face showed a hint of melancholy: "But if you take this person, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult!" ”

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

"Who?"

"Huang Chengyan!"

"Huang Gong?" Liu Biao said: "Didn't you say that Huang Gong and Jiangxia Huang have broken up?" has actually left Jiangxia and lived in Xiangyang for a long time, he can suppress Huang Zu! ”

"Don't underestimate the influence of Huang Gong on the Huang family!"

Kuai Liang smiled and said: "The reason why the family is a family is because of the inheritance of poetry and books, the hereditary etiquette, and the seniority is very concerned about the generation, the generation of Huang Gong is the only one in the Huang family, and he is the only one who inherits the two Confucian and Mo families, and the statement is prosperous, in Jingzhou, only Sima Gong and the Pang family are comparable to the size of the Shangshu, and he said that Huang Zu is difficult to move an inch in the Huang family!" ”

"But this person is not very willing to enter the career!" Liu Biaodao.

"You don't need him to join the office, you just need him to support the lord, and the matter will be handed over to Liang, and Liang will persuade this person for the lord!" Kuai Liang said confidently.

"Good!"

Liu Biao nodded.

The big and small things were almost dealt with, the sun was setting in the west, and a touch of sunset was reflected in the lobby, Liu Biao was about to leave, and suddenly he remembered something again: "I said before that I wanted to take the mountain and build the sun, but it was arranged?" ”

Nanjun is adjacent to Nanyang, separated by rivers, can not be separated from an ambition, Liu Biao naturally stretched out a peeping heart to Nanyang, and he is also famous, he is Jingzhou Mu, Nanyang belongs to Jingzhou, and it is natural for him to be in charge.

But Nanyang is the first county in the world, dozens of county orders, millions of people, Yuan Shu's main force to suppress, and there are herdsmen entrenched in the west, if he wants to open this situation, he must first test the attitude of the herdsmen.

"Deng Long has personally led 8,000 troops, has left Deng County, and went straight to Shandu, now it depends on the decision of Chen Ya, the commander of Shandu County, if he is dead, he can only fight to the death!"

Kuailiang Road.

"The herdsmen in Nanxiang have not moved?"

"It seems that there is no reaction, the war last year made the Mu army suffer a lot of damage, they were able to escape from Guanzhong, they were originally remnants, plus I heard the news from Hanzhong recently, Mu Longtu seems to be disarming!"

"From this point of view, Mu Longtu is determined to live a stable life in Hanzhong!"

Liu Biao's eyes showed a touch of contempt.

"Not necessarily!"

Kuai Liang said: "We are just tempting, this matter can not see the depth of the pastoral army, after taking the mountain capital, we can know how the strength of the pastoral army is, and if we want to capture Nanyang, whether it is the pastoral army, or the Yuan army, we have to fight, but the pastoral army is on that side, then look at this battle!" ”

"I hope Deng Long won't disappoint someone!"

Liu Biao said in a deep voice.
