Chapter 363: Liu Xuan's descendants
Summoning Lu Liuming, Liu Cong can be said to have gained a lot, and Liu Liuming is also eager to try because Liu Cong is about to go east! After thinking at home for a few days, he came to see Liu Cong again.
"The lord's crusade is imminent, and Liu Ming knows that he is inferior to the fierce generals and think tanks under the lord's command in terms of army command and strategy. Liu Ming wants to sneak back to Yangzhou first, on the one hand, on the one hand, on behalf of the lord, contact Jiangdong's dissatisfied people with the Sun family, and on the other hand, look for his lost relatives! โ
"It's a good idea for you, but remember not to act rashly. Revenge has its own origins, and you are in charge. When he arrives in the city, the Sun clan will be handed over to you! If you encounter any difficulties in Jiangdong, you will go to Jinyiwei. For the specific contact information, you can find Commander Huang ......"
"Liu Ming thanked the lord in advance. Please rest assured, Liu Ming will do his best to find out the situation in Jiangdong and provide detailed information for the Lord's Eastern Expedition! โ
"If you want to go to the original phase, you will naturally support you, but it is better for your family to stay in Xiangyang. After all, Lord Taiwei and you are also distant relatives, and your trip can be described as extremely dangerous! Even if there is an accident, someone will take care of it, right? โ
"Thank you, my lord!" It's not Liu Cong's crow's mouth, in this era, information is blocked, and if you want to get detailed information about the enemy, you generally have to send a lot of detailed work. And if the opponent is more vigilant, most of the details may be exposed. Once the identity is revealed, it is natural that there will be more luck than luck. However, Lu Liuming's skills cannot be compared with Jinyiwei.
Liu Cong finally gave Lu Liuming fifty catties of gold and let him gradually enter Jiangdong as a merchant. After sending Lu Liuming away, Huang Quan asked to see him again. Huang Quan was injured on the outskirts of Xuchang more than a year ago, and after eight months of recuperation in Xiangyang, he is now alive again. Liu Cong wants to go east, and he, the head of the brocade guard, naturally has to move first.
"Lord, Liu Shuo and Liu Shang have arrived in Xiangyang." Two months earlier, Huang Quan had been ordered to lead Jinyiwei in Jiangdong to find another former prince, the descendant of Liu Xuan, a clan relative of the Han family. It's a pity that the eldest son has died of illness, and only Liu Shuo and Liu Shang were found. Liu Cong asked them to come to Xiangyang at this time, naturally it was still aimed at Sun Quan.
Because their father Liu Miao used to be a pastor in Yangzhou! ๅ็น (yรณu), the character is right. A native of Donglai Muping (now Muping, Shandong). Figures in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, relatives of the Han family.
He was originally elected as filial piety and was appointed by Langzhong. He was appointed as the governor of Xiayi, but he abandoned the official because he refused to ask for the county guard. Later, he opened up Sikong Peng, except for serving the imperial history, and was not in office due to the war, and took refuge in Huaipu. The edict appointed him as the assassin of Yangzhou. He fought with Yuan Shu and Sun Ce successively, and the imperial court added him as Yangzhou Mu and Zhenwu generals, but in the end he was defeated by Dantu.
Don't look at Sun Ce's early death, he left a lot of debts! This time, Liu Cong found Liu Xuan's two sons, naturally wanting them to collect debts from the Jiangdong Sun family like Lu Liuming.
Liu Miao was a distant relative of the royal family of the Han Dynasty (a descendant of Liu Wei, the grandson of Liu Fei, the king of Qi Mourning Hui, was taken hostage by his cousin Liu Wei by bandits, and Liu Miao gathered more than ten people to sneak into the thieves' den in order to rescue his cousin, and became famous after beheading the bandit leader and successfully rescuing his cousin. Because of its performance is deeply loved by the villagers, it is recommended to be filial piety and worship Langzhong.
Later, he was transferred to the post of governor of Xiayi, but he abandoned his post and fled because he refused the request of the powerful. He was also requisitioned by the state and marched to Jinan, Jinan was the son of the Chang servant, Liu Miao found out that he was corrupt and perverted the law, so he immediately dismissed him. Tao Qiuhong, a plain man, wanted to let Thorn Shi mention him as a Maocai, and Thorn Shi said: "Last year, I already recommended Gongshan (Liu Dai's brother), why do you want to recommend Zhengli (Liu Xian's cousin) now?" โ
Tao Qiuhong said: "If you recommend Gongshan in front and promote Zhengli in the back, this is the so-called driving the two dragons in the long distance and making the horses gallop, isn't this okay!" It can be seen that Liu Xuan's talent is not lost to his brother Liu Dai.
Soon Liu Miao was recruited by Sikong Mansion as a subordinate of Peng, except for the appointment of the imperial history, Liu Miao did not arrive, and turned to avoid chaos in Huaipu.
In the first year of Xingping, the imperial court ordered Liu Miao to succeed Chen Wen as the assassin of Yangzhou. Originally, the station of Yangzhou Assassin was in Shouchun, but the political situation was chaotic at that time, and the Huainan area was already Yuan Shu's sphere of influence, so Liu Miao had to withdraw to Qu'a (now Danyang City, Jiangsu Province).
At that time, Qu A was the power of Sun Ce's uncle Wu Jing, and because Wu Jing had a good relationship with Yuan Shu, he and Sun Ce's cousin Sun Ben suppressed Liu Xuan and drove Liu Xuan away. After that, Yuan Shu appointed himself as the assassin of Yangzhou, and attacked Zhang Ying and Fan Neng with Wu Jing and Sun Ben. The two sides are inseparable, and they are in a stalemate. Soon, the imperial court added Liu Miao as the general of Yangzhou Mu and Zhenwu, and Liu Miao had tens of thousands.
In the first year of Jian'an, Liu Miao ordered Zhang Ying and Fan Neng to confront Sun Ce's army who came from the east, but they were defeated by Sun Ce's army. Later, Liu Miao led his fellow villager Tai Shi Ci to confront Sun Ce, but he was also defeated due to the scheme, and Tai Shi Ci was captured by Sun Ce and turned to Sun Ce.
This is also a turning point in Liu Xuan's fate, as we all know, Tai Shi Ci's bravery was not lost to Sun Ce at that time, and even Jingzhou Gan Ning, Liu Pan and others were on par. If Tai Shici had not surrendered to Sun Ce, when Liu Xian's army was defeated later, he would at least be able to flee Yangzhou under his escort. Of course history is history, and there are no ifs!
After the defeat, Liu Miao accepted Xu Shao's suggestion and fled to Yuzhang (now Nanchang County, Jiangxi Province) to join Liu Biao, but at that time, after Yuzhang Taishou Zhou Shu died of illness, the position of Taishou was vacant, and with Liu Biao's support, Zhuge Xuan (Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Jin's uncle) should become Taishou.
However, the Han court ordered Zhu Hao (Zhu Jun's son) to be the Taishou, which led to many conflicts over the Yuzhang Taishou, and Liu Xuan later sent troops to assist Zhu Hao as the Taishou, and drove Zhuge Xuan back to Xiangyang Liu Biao. He attacked Zhu Hao's Zhu Rong again, and was defeated by Zhu Rong in the first battle, but soon Liu Xuan collected the army again and defeated Zhu Rong.
The rest of the matter is beyond Liu Xuan's control. With the assistance of Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Zhang Zhao and others, Wu Youhuang Gai and Tai Shici quickly swept Jiangdong, defeated Wang Lang, broke Yan Baihu, and finally defeated Liu Xuan in Yuzhang. Liu Miao was killed in the battle, leaving his wife and children all captured by Sun Ce! Maybe Sun Ce knew that he had killed too much in Jiangdong, or maybe Liu Miao was too weak and his son was still young, Sun Ce didn't kill them all this time!
Becoming a king or losing a king is a common thing in this troubled world, but Liu Cong did not give up. This time, Liu Miao's two sons were brought in to tell them that they were going to send troops to Jiangdong, and if they wanted revenge, they should cooperate.
"See the Prime Minister!" Although the two brothers Liu Shuo and Liu Shang are also considered royal relatives, this is the first time in their lives to enter the metropolis, when their father died on the battlefield, the two brothers were only ten years old.
"Get up, get up. You and I are both descendants of the Liu family, so there is no need for such a lot of courtesy! Come, seat. Liu saw that the two were about the same age as himself, and their appearance was quite delicate, but he had a good impression.
"Thank you, Prime Minister!" Although the two brothers lost their father when they were young, they are well-informed after the end of the family.
"There is no need for the prime minister, the prime minister's name. Cong is not a few years different from you, if you want, you will be brothers in the future. A few years older, you will have the right to be your big brother! Liu Cong looked at the two brothers with a smile on his face.
"This ......" The two brothers looked at each other, they never imagined that the dignified Han Prime Minister would come all the way to recognize their relatives?
"What is this? Do you think Cong is not worthy to be your big brother? โ
"No, it's not ......," the two brothers waved their hands.
"Then it's settled, don't talk about the two of you. When Cong went to Xuchang alone to meet His Majesty, His Majesty didn't stick to the details, and he had to call Cong a brother. I have called you both here this time because I have something to tell you. When Ling Zun had an accident, Cong was still a child like the two of you. So I can't help much, and now my father is gone. Cong was also lucky to become the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and he couldn't bear to let the Han clan wander around...... So, from now on, the two of you will live in Xiangyang. โ
"Thank you, Prime Minister!" The two brothers glanced at Liu Cong gratefully, this clan relative is really powerful, he actually took himself to the capital from afar!
"Is it still called the prime minister?"
"Thank you, big brother!" Both brothers were blushing and a little embarrassed.
"That's right, if you have any needs in the future, just ask! In the future, stay in Xiangyang to help do things for my brother. Liu Cong saw that Liu Miao's two sons were very clever and relieved.
"Yes!"
Under Liu Cong's arrangement, the brothers lived in Xiangyang.
Soon, someone revealed the news of Liu Cong's upcoming expedition to the two brothers. Originally, the two lived a very peaceful and bitter life in Yuzhang. Sun Quan is now the ruler of Jiangdong, and they don't dare to have any ideas. But now it's different, when I arrived in Xiangyang, because of Liu Cong's care and living a life of fine clothes and jade food, I naturally remembered my father who died in battle.
"Second brother, Brother Buchang wants to go east, if he wins, his father's revenge can be avenged. Why don't we two brothers ask him to take us on a crusade? "Liu Shang is three years younger than the second brother, but he has always had a lot of ideas. Before his death, the eldest brother told the wicked to keep a low profile, and the two brothers have been holding back all these years and never dared to mention revenge.
Now Liu Cong is going to the east, although Sun Ce has long since died, his son Sun Shao is still alive, and his younger brother Sun Quan has taken over Jiangdong. If Liu Cong can win, isn't it very simple to ask how many people he wants?
"Third brother, have you forgotten the words of your eldest brother before he died? Now that our family has declined, Brother Buchang is willing to take us in, so let's lie dormant in Xiangyang with peace of mind. Don't mess with anything else. โ
"Second brother, what kind of trouble is this. You also said that our family is now in decline. Now it's not bad for Big Brother Buchang to take us. We should seize the opportunity to make contributions and revive the family. He Sun Ce took away his father's state pastor, if we two brothers can make contributions, maybe we can also become the guardian of a county in the future, and it is not impossible to even reach the height of our father! And the Crusade is the best opportunity. If we wait until the world is peaceful, even if Brother Buchang gives us an official and a half-job, I am afraid that it will cause others to be dissatisfied! โ
"Having said that, the two of us brothers are powerless to follow the army to the east, so how can we start to make contributions?"
"Second brother, you forgot, our brother and villain have lived in Yuzhang for so many years. I still know a little about the affairs of Yuzhang County...... Didn't the Great Army need a guide? And with the fame of our two brothers, if the army captures Chaisang or the entire Yuzhang, as long as we support Brother Buchang in the name of our father, presumably the famous people and people in the county will ......"
Liu Shang is not stupid, although fighting on the battlefield is not the strong point of the two brothers. But the two have lived in Yuzhang County for more than ten years, and they must know more about the local area than ordinary outsiders. As for supporting Liu Cong in the name of Liu Xuan, it is Liu Shang's cleverness. In this way, Liu Cong must be very happy. In addition to being happy, it is certain that he will be rewarded with an official and a half-position. After all, his father used to be a pastor in Yangzhou, and he still has a certain prestige in Jiangdong, especially in Yuzhang!
