804 Jingzhou Coup (I)
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu? King? What are you talking about? ”
Liu Qi was confused, rubbed his eyes, and said, "Where did the first king of our Chu Kingdom come from?" What a mourning hall, how can I ...... anything All...... ...... all."
Liu Qi was suddenly speechless.
He let go of his hand, and his eyes widened as he looked at the white cloth towel tied around the soldier's head, and then at the white cloth cloth tied around the heads of the other soldiers, and his eyes widened.
"You just said ...... King...... Mourning Hall? ”
"Yes, Gongzi, in the early hours of this morning, the first king has passed away, Gongzi Cong has been enthroned as the king of Chu in front of the first king's spirit, and now His Royal Highness the King of Chu is taking care of the aftermath for the first king, and please go and see it quickly, don't delay the hour."
“……”
Liu Qi was stunned for a while, then pushed the officer away, and immediately stumbled out like crazy.
He ran and ran, and he fell several times along the way, but he couldn't stop him running.
The cry was getting closer and closer to him, closer and closer, closer and closer.
When he finally ran to the location of the mourning hall, he finally saw the scene he had never imagined.
He saw a coffin, saw Liu Biao's spiritual seat, saw a large group of Jingzhou officials crying for Liu Biao, and the back of his brother Liu Cong at the forefront.
What's going on?
How so?
Why is this happening?
Liu Qi didn't know anything, let alone what had happened during the time he had been asleep.
"Childe? Why are you standing here and not going inside to take care of the aftermath for the first king? ”
A gloomy voice suddenly sounded behind Liu Qi, Liu Qi trembled, turned around suddenly, and saw Cai Mao with a warm smile on his face.
Cai ...... Cai...... Cai...... Cai Gong? ”
Liu Qi's eyes widened: "Why is Gong Cai here?" Cai Gong shouldn't be in the ...... In Xiangyang? ”
"It was originally in Xiangyang, but I heard that the first king was seriously ill, so I rushed over, I didn't expect to get such bad news just now, I didn't expect it, son, please mourn."
Cai Mao straightened her appearance and saluted Liu Qi.
“……”
Liu Qi's mouth opened, not knowing what to say.
"Childe, do you have any questions?"
Cai Mao looked at Liu Qi, and her voice was very gentle.
"I ...... I...... Is this Gangneung? Is it the Mansion of the King of Chu? Am I Liu Qi? ”
"Why did Childe say that? This is Jiangling, it is the palace of the king of Chu, and the son is naturally Liu Qi. ”
Cai Mao smiled a little strangely: "Okay, Gongzi, don't talk about this for now, let's go and take care of the future affairs for the first king, although the first king chose Gongzi Cong to succeed the king of Chu, but the son is still the son of the first king, and he should be filial." ”
Cai Mao pulled Liu Qi forward, Liu Qi was pulled forward in a daze, and entered the mourning hall, Liu Qi looked around blankly.
As a result, he saw Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang, Fu Xun, Liu Xian, Han Song, Pang Ji, Song Zhong, Su Fei, Huo Jun, and Wang Wei.
He saw all the people he didn't want to see.
What the hell is going on?
Why is everyone here?
Why?
What's going on? What happened during this time?
In fact, all this is very understandable, as the dual position of Jingzhou people and Liu Biao's subordinates, Liu Biao's recent series of actions have made them quite dissatisfied.
The victory of killing Zhang Xian and maintaining Liu Biao's rule was won under the hard work of the military group headed by Jiangling, Jiangling, Huang Zhong, Wenpin and others, and the people who were responsible for handling the grain and straw affairs were also Jingzhou people Kuai Liang and Han Song, so it can be said that Liu Biao won this battle with the help of people from Jingbei.
However, after the war, they did not receive the rewards they deserved, but because of their status as Jingzhou people, they were suspicious and excluded by Liu Biao.
Huang Zhong and Wen Ping were deprived of military power and handed over to the second grandson and Gan Ning, who had not made a big contribution, and the Nanjun county guard was handed over to Liu Biao's fellow villager Yi who also did not make any meritorious contributions.
This made the Jingzhou officials feel very dissatisfied.
At that time, Liu Biao's condition worsened, and everyone was suspicious, thinking that Liu Biao was doing this to prepare for the heir's accession to the throne, and this heir was definitely not Liu Cong, but Liu Qi.
Liu Biao's mind is not difficult to guess, for them, it is indeed like this.
In fact, not all the people here are with Cai Mao and Kuai Yue, and not all of them have contact with Guo someone, and all of them are two or five boys.
For example, the civil official Han Song, as well as the former Huang Zu's subordinate Su Fei and the generals Wang Wei, Huo Jun and other local generals from Jingzhou have nothing to do with Guo.
On the contrary, they were closer to Huang Zu in terms of position, and they were not satisfied with Guo Peng, who usurped the Han Dynasty.
There are also some local young people who were hand-picked up by Liu Biao, as Liu Biao's former officials, who are grateful to Liu Biao and are willing to work for him.
Han Song went to Yecheng to visit Guo Peng on the order of Liu Biao after Guo Peng became the prince, and was deeply wary of Guo Peng's pomp and the loyalty of his subordinates, and also warned Liu Biao for this, and advised Liu Biao not to be an enemy of Guo Peng, Liu Biao was still very angry about this, but Han Song did not mean to take refuge in Guo Peng.
Generals Su Fei, Huo Jun, Wang Wei and others were all promoted by Liu Biao and were close to Liu Biao in their positions, but Liu Biao's too blatant exclusion of Jingzhou people and promotion of outsiders seriously hurt the dignity and loyalty of Jingzhou's subordinates.
As a result, when Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang went separately to fan the flames and let them support Liu Cong instead of Liu Qi, a group of civil and military forces decisively accepted the conditions of the two.
After they learned that Liu Biao had quietly created conditions for Liu Qi to ascend the throne, they decided not to support Liu Qi, but to support Liu Cong, who was close to the Cai family, in order to protect Jingzhou for the Jingzhou people.
But there is a big premise for all this, that is, the news of the Wei army's pressure on the border was blocked by the Cai family and the Kuai family, and they did not know that the Wei army had pressed the border and was ready to attack Jingzhou at any time.
So when Cai Mao and Kuai Yue, who secretly arrived in Jiangling City, got the news from Gan Ning, they entered the city at night and completed a series of operations.
Gan Ning tied up the Iraqi nationality and obtained the seal of the king of Chu and the seal of Jingzhou Mu, and the generals such as Wang Wei, Su Fei, and Huo Jun launched a military mutiny together, leading the land and water armies to defeat more than 1,000 people of Sun Fu and Sun Wei, who had no prestige foundation.
Sun Fu and Sun Wei were defenseless against this.
They themselves don't have the ability to lead troops, but Guo Peng has a deep blood feud, and he also brought more than 1,000 Sun Wu elites, which was reused by Liu Biao.
But for the Jingzhou soldiers, these outsiders were really not worth following, so under the auspices of Wang Wei, Su Fei, Huo Jun and others, the Jingzhou soldiers decisively rebelled, completely annihilated more than 1,000 remnants of Sun Wu led by Sun Fu and Sun Wei, and eradicated their forces.
Sun Fu and Sun Wei died in the chaos of the army.
