For this unfathomable clan brother, Liu Bei has always had an extremely respectful attitude since he arrived in Jingzhou.

Seeing that Liu Biao was chatting with him sincerely, Liu Bei was moved, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "Be prepared to take Brother Jingsheng as the head of the horse." ”

Liu Biao nodded slightly, and said: "The old man is old, and Liu Jiyu is not a talent in the ordinary world, the more our three clan relatives go, I am afraid that the more we have to rely on you to take the lead, but the time is not right now, everything still needs to be headed by the old man, how old is the old man older than you, and in the future, he will sell himself as a brother, can Xuande be convinced?" ”

Liu Biao's feeling to Liu Bei was somewhat unfathomable, and Liu Bei naturally didn't dare to slack off and despise it.

"For the sake of the Han family, you should put your brother first."

Liu Biao nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, since that's the case, Xuande, then the old man will arrange this first thing for you...... You go back to Gangneung, supervise the establishment of the palace, build the capital in Gangneung, and then take the Son of Heaven and Fuwan and others over. ”

Liu Bei was stunned when he heard this.

What kind of trick are you playing?

Didn't you agree to build a capital city in Gangneung before? Why did you change three times a day, and this time you agreed again?

Looking at Liu Bei's puzzled expression, Liu Biao couldn't help laughing.

"Brother Xuande, in fact, the old man is not a stubborn person, this land of Xiangyang, located in Jingbei, near the Central Plains, is indeed not a suitable place to build a capital, the old man's current foundation is here, but he can't give it up at will."

Speaking of this, Liu Biao looked around, saw that there was no one left and right, and said: "The land of Xiangyang must be inseparable from the old man, otherwise Jingzhou will be chaotic, but the old man does intend to take advantage of the opportunity to build a capital for the Son of Heaven, in the land of Jingzhou, another piece of heaven and earth, do you understand what the old man means?" ”

Liu Bei is a smart person, and the so-called knows the elegance when he hears the strings.

He immediately sniffed out the cattiness in it.

"There are many clans in the land of Xiangyang, and my brother plans to build a capital in Jiangling, gradually tilt the political center of Jingzhou towards Nanjun, and slowly deprive Cai and Kuai...... The authority and influence of those clans? ”

Liu Biao nodded with satisfaction, and said: "The virtuous brother is really smart, worthy of being a person in our Han family, the old man came to Jingzhou to take office one by one, and with the help of the power of the local clan and the land of the seven counties, it is the limit to get this achievement, but at present, the internal and external troubles, the old man can not easily do something to the clan, and he has been suffering from no good solution, but fortunately, His Majesty came to the land of Jingchu, giving the old man such an opportunity to find a way to weaken the clan power outside of Xiangyang." ”

Liu Bei pondered carefully for a while, and secretly said that Liu Biao's words were indeed reasonable, and he was really not an idle person.

"Brother Jingsheng, but my brother doesn't understand, since you have already intended to set up the capital in Jiangling, why do you insist on fighting against Fu Wan and have to set the capital in Xiangyang?"

Liu Biao said with a smile: "This matter is also easy to explain, if the old man is too supportive of the establishment of the capital in Jiangling, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not cause the warning and vigilance of the Xiangyang clan...... And during this time, the old man has been carefully observing you to see if you are a person who can trust big things. ”

The more Liu Bei listened, the more he admired Liu Biao's ability.

"Now the old man and Fu Wan are almost in the heat of the fight, then the two sides will take a step back, let him keep the Son of Heaven to live in Jiangling, and the Liu clan will be commanded by you and go to Jiangling to garrison, Xuande, you are in Jiangling, according to the old man's instructions, slowly develop the power, and contact the Nanjun Shi clan for the old man, expand the influence of the court, if it is the clan power, the old man will go to Jiangling from time to time to face the king, what is the matter, you and I brothers can discuss at any time."

Liu Bei hurriedly said when he heard this: "Brother is so important, he naturally has everything, but the prime minister and the clan of Xiangyang are ......."

Liu Biao said with a smile: "Don't worry, after Fu Wan has been fighting with the old man for so long, he has long lost patience in his heart, what conditions the old man proposes to him now, as long as he can set the capital, he will agree, as for the clan side, although you are a member of the Han family, but after all, you are here with Fu Wan, I think they will not have too much vigilance against you, no need to worry." ”

Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Be prepared to serve Brother Jingsheng." ”

"Wrong, it's for the Son of Heaven." Liu Biao corrected him.

"Not bad, not bad."

Liu Biao suddenly said: "Xuande, the two tiger generals under your command and Zhang are said to be not under Lu Bu, the old man is now dealing with Sun Ce, Lu Bu and the traitor Zhang Xian at the same time, and the two fronts are dealing with it at the same time, which is relatively tight, and it is necessary to borrow its strength...... You are not allowed to take them with you when you go to Jiangling this time, and leave them in Xiangyang, the old man has his own use. ”

Liu Bei naturally understood Liu Biao's obscure meaning.

But he was an extraordinary person, and almost without any hesitation, he agreed on the spot.

……

Xuzhou, Pengcheng.

After the potter's plan was implemented step by step, the school government kept bringing back the report to Pengcheng, and sure enough, as the potter guessed, the people of the world and the princes from all walks of life really had suspicions and suspicions about Fu Wan's actions, and Xiao Liu Xi's reputation had reached a peak because of the potter's propaganda effect.

The princes of all walks of life are now quietly watching, so that the time has come, then it is indeed time to set the capital.

After Guo Jia settled Qu Lao in Jinling City, he had already rushed back to Pengcheng, and the pottery merchant found these cronies of his to discuss the establishment of the emperor.

There is no doubt that the name of the country is the Han Dynasty.

The earthen platforms and platforms used for enthronement, as well as a set of tools, are also being perfected.

As for the construction of the palace, with the wealth of Jinling Castle, it will be completed in a few months.

The date of his accession to the throne is set for the year after the next year, and the era name is Jiankang......

These things are easy to say, and they are harmless, but the key is where the capital should be located.

According to the opinions of Chen Deng, Guo Jia, Zhuge Liang and others, they believed that the capital should be located in Jinling City.

After all, after seven years of construction, Jinling City has become a strong city in the world, not to mention the rich one, but also absorbed a dense population.

In particular, Zhang Hong also admonished the potters back then, saying that this was the land of Longxing.

But for some reason, the potter just didn't spit on it.

He seemed to be waiting for something.

After a day of fruitless discussion, everyone said goodbye, only Sima Yi did not leave, and it seemed that he still wanted to talk to him about some private matters with the potter.

"Zhongda, why haven't you gone back yet?"

The potter looked at him suspiciously.

Sima Yi pondered for a moment, and suddenly arched his hand and said: "Jinling is the teacher's hard work, if it is established as the Han capital, the fame that should belong to the teacher will be in vain, this place is the foundation of the teacher, not as the Han capital." ”

The potter breathed a sigh of relief.

That's what he wanted to say but couldn't.

"Then you say, where should this capital be located?"

Sima Yi hesitated: "The student has been thinking about it for a long time, and thinks that the capital of Nanchang is the most appropriate. ”
