Chapter 19: Gangneung's Envoy

It is also this Wu Ju and Liu Biao who don't know talents, otherwise Liu Ba's background and talent should be entrusted with important tasks, rather than just a county household.

Of course, Liu Ba is still young, now he is only twenty-one years old, which is the same year as Liu Cong, although his career is not smooth, it is not comparable to Liu Cong's young age, and his rank is 2,000 stones. But this did not affect Liu Ba's loyalty to the Han family and the Liu family. Everything Wu Ju did in Jiangling, Liu Ba can be regarded as vivid.

This time, I heard that Liu Biao's second son was going to lead the troops into the city, and he knew that it was not good, this Wu Ju had bad intentions, the second son was not his opponent at a young age, and if he led the troops into Jiangling City, he was afraid that he would be under house arrest. It's just that his father has a bad relationship with Liu Biao, and Liu Biao has wanted to kill himself several times, which one should he help?

When Liu Ba was hesitating, Wu Ju personally visited Liu Ba.

Wu Ju's reply to Zhang Bo and Liu Cong's official documents had just arrived in Yiling, and Liu Ba had also arrived in Yiling.

Liu Cong was stunned when he heard that Liu Ba asked to see him, and then hurriedly got up to greet him, Liu Ba and his previous Liu Cong had also seen it, and the squadron leader Liu Cong also heard a little, but the history books recorded that Liu Ba and Liu Cong did not have any intersection, and it was a public fact that Liu Biao did not like Liu Ba, and everyone knew that his crossing would have a butterfly effect so quickly?

Although he was very suspicious, Liu Cong didn't want to miss a good opportunity to recruit Liu Ba, and naturally didn't want to give Liu Ba a bad impression, because in Liu Cong's opinion, Liu Ba was indeed a rare talent, especially in Jingzhou. It would be a pity if it was accepted by Wu Ju's mediocrity.

Liu Cong clearly remembers the historical records: on the eve of the Battle of Chibi, Liu Bei was defeated by Cao Cao and fled to the south of the Yangtze River. It can be seen that Liu Ba's vision is still very good, and he knows that he should vote for the master. Cao Cao was surprised and delighted by his defection and appointed him as Peng (assistant). Cao Cao was defeated in Wulin, and when he was still in the north, he wanted to send Huan to recruit Changsha, Lingling, and Guiyang.

He said that he was not as good as Liu Ba. Liu Ba said to Cao Cao: "Liu Bei is based in Jingzhou, and he can't do it." Cao Cao said: "Prepare as a picture, and follow it with the six armies." "Liu Banai goes. However, Cao Cao was defeated in the Battle of Chibi, and Zhuge Liang instructed Liu Bei's strategy to seize Changsha, Lingling and other counties. Liu Ba returned with a fiasco this time.

When Liu Bei entered Lingling, Liu Ban fled south. Liu Ba, who fled to Vietnam, was afraid that Liu Bei would find him through channels, so he changed his surname to Zhang and worked under the Taishou Shixie of Jiaozhi. Shi Xie was a pro-Wu faction and one of the few leaders in the Three Kingdoms period who was not involved in the struggle. Maybe the advice Liu Ba gave him didn't match his style, and the two didn't get along well, so Liu Ba left. When passing through the road, he was detained by the Yizhou county guard and almost killed.

Fortunately, the master of Taishou felt that Liu Ba seemed to be a not simple character, so he sent him to see Liu Zhang, the pastor of Yizhou. Liu Zhang was originally a pro-Cao faction and sent Zhang Song to show his attitude towards Cao Cao. Unexpectedly, because Zhang Song's appearance was not good, Cao Cao treated him coldly. When Zhang Song returned, he persuaded Liu Zhang and Liu Bei to unite against Cao Cao. Liu Zhang didn't have any opinions, so he agreed.

At this time, Liu Ba was caught in front of Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang had heard his name before, was overjoyed, and immediately asked him what good opinion he had about himself? Liu Ba only gave him one opinion: "Prepare, the male is also, if you enter, you will be harmful, and you can't do it inside." Liu Zhang didn't listen, and sent Fa Zheng and Meng Da to meet Liu Bei. As Liu Ba said, welcoming Liu Bei is tantamount to luring a wolf into the room. Liu Zhang was finally defeated by Liu Bei.

Liu Bei defeated Liu Zhang and took Liu Ba for his own use. Zhang Fei once went to Liu Ba's house to sleep, and stayed at Liu Ba's house all day, but Liu Ba didn't speak. Zhang Fei was very angry when he found that Liu Ba did not welcome him. Kong Ming mediated: "Although Zhang Fei is a martial artist, he admires his feet. The lord and the lord are now gathering the civil and military forces to determine major events; Although the foot is bright, it is advisable to reduce the intention. ”

Liu Ba said: "The husband is in the world, and he should be a hero from all over the world, how can he talk to the soldiers?" Liu Bei heard this and said angrily: "Loneliness wants to fix the world, and Zichu is chaotic." If he wants to return to the north, if he is in this way, how can he become a lonely and evil thing? Bei said: "Zichu is extremely talented, such as lonely, he can be appointed, and it is difficult for those who are not lonely." Zhuge Liang also said: "Strategizing is in the middle of the curtain, I might as well be far away!" If you lift the drum and meet the military gate, so that the people will be brave and brave, you should discuss with others. ”

When the matter reached Dongwu, Zhang Zhao said: "Liu Ba is really not very upright, and he is so rude to Zhang Fei. Sun Quan said: "Liu Ba is like this, the masters all have shelves." Exactly: "If Ling Zichu follows the world and floats, Rong Yue Xuande, and hands over to someone else, how can he be called Gao Shihu." ”

Liu Ba was a man of great talent, and after Liu Bei captured Yizhou, the treasury was empty, and Liu Bei was very worried. Liu Ba said: "Yi Er, but when you cast a hundred coins, level all things, and make the officials the official market." "Prepare for it, and in a few months, the treasury is full.

Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan, the rulers of the Three Kingdoms, all spoke highly of Liu Ba, indicating that he was indeed extraordinary, so Liu Cong was naturally very polite when he saw Liu Ba, completely forgetting Duan Gongzi's shelf, and personally welcomed Liu Ba into the county Yahou Hall to ask someone to sew a seat for tea, and then came to Liu Ba's side and asked with a smile: "Brother Zichu seems to be in a hurry, what is the so-called matter?" ”

"The second son really doesn't know?" In the face of Liu Cong's politeness, Liu Ba did not change color at all, perhaps he was used to seeing the sophistication of people, at least in Liu Ba's opinion, no matter what kind of attitude Liu Cong had towards himself, his duty was to inform Wu Ju of what he had done, and then returned to Jiangling.

"I don't know, I still hope that the first brother will teach me."

"The second prince is going to lead the troops to Jiangling?"

"Yes, at this time, I have written to inform Wu Taishou, Lord Taishou has promised that I will lead the army to set off tomorrow afternoon, and the soldiers of this Zigui victory should be rewarded, so I want to ask Lord Taishou to review the army and give a reward at the same time."

"Second son, Jiangling must not be easily visited!" Liu Ba looked at Liu Cong as if he was defenseless, and thought that it was better for him to ventilate the news.

"Oh, Brother Zichu, how can I say this, I am the governor of Nanjun, and now I have just succeeded in suppressing bandits, and Jiangling is an important town under the rule of my Han, why can't I go? Besides, I was originally the governor of Nangun, where would I go if I didn't go to Gangneung? ”

"The second son doesn't know, then Wu Ju ......" Liu Ba looked around nervously, although no one still wanted to say anything.

"Brother Zichu has something to do, although he said frankly, I have been in this county Yahoutang; The guards were closely monitored, and the idlers couldn't wait to get in. ”

"Second son, the lower officials dare to persuade the second prince not to take risks alone, today's Jiangling is no longer the Jiangling under the rule of General Zhennan, Wu Ju has already laid out and waited for Gongzi to throw himself into the net, whether Gongzi goes alone or leads his troops, he will definitely fall into the siege and become a hostage for Wu Ju to blackmail General Zhennan."

"Oh, so Brother Zichu also thinks that Wu Ju will be opposed? You must know that it is a big crime to slander the officials of the court for no reason, then Wu Taishou is the head of a county, your boss! Liu Cong didn't expect Liu Ba to come in a hurry to report for himself, and he couldn't help but feel that the situation was a bit serious. If even Liu Ba and the others in Jiangling City knew about Wu Ju's rebellion, it would mean that Wu Ju's rebellion had been revealed, and it also showed that he must have almost prepared.

"Could it be that Gongzi has already noticed that Wu Ju is going to rebel?" Liu Ba was very calm when he saw Liu Cong when he heard that he said that Wu Ju was going to rebel, and he was very puzzled.

"It's almost, but I'm not sure yet, now it seems that Wu Ju has been planning for a long time. Thank you, Brother Zichu, for taking the initiative to come and tell me. If Wu Ju knew that the first brother of the son was coming......"

"Ba is now alone, if you can dissuade Gongzi from falling into the tiger's den, then Jiangling will not return." Liu Ba replied with a self-deprecating smile.

"Haha, Brother Zichu, then I have wronged you, it seems that you can't do it anymore. Since Wu Ju old thief dares to rebel, I, Liu Cong, will not be the first to agree. But it's really time for you to come, I'm worried about how to deal with Wu Ju's old thief? Zichu brother Dacai Cong has already heard of it, and now the plan, can my brother have a good plan? ”

"Childe, Wu Ju has gathered nearly 4,000 soldiers and horses in Jiangling City, and I hope that General Gongzi will send troops to Jiangling to quell the rebellion as soon as possible, otherwise in time, this Jiangling City will be easy to defend and difficult to attack. There is also the fact that Gongzi must not take risks and attack Jiangling alone, then Wu Ju has been entrenched in Jiangling for many years, and there must be many warriors who will die for him! ”
