"Even if the expansion of the army is true, then why is Wu Ju in such a hurry, can some mountain bandits be able to disrupt Jingzhou, Zigui is only 1,000 bandits, plus the newly recruited is only 2,000, even if there are 3,000 county soldiers in Jiangling, all of them add up to only 5,000 people, what can he Wu Ju do to compete with tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Xiangyang?"

"What if the thieves take Gongzi as a hostage and threaten General Zhennan? Wu Ju led the troops to evacuate that day, and threw the adults to the bandits, maybe this is the purpose, once the adults fall into the hands of the mountain bandits, and then capture Yiling one after another, you can sit on the two cities and threaten the lives of the adults, then the general of Zhennan will not dare to easily enter the two counties, he Wu Ju will recruit troops in the name of suppressing bandits, and when the time is ripe, he will ascend and shout, and several counties will be connected, and then he will be afraid that Lord Cai Mao and even General Zhennan will be helpless! ”

“…… So, am I ruining his good deeds? Liu Cong thought about it carefully, and Zhang Bo's analysis made sense. Otherwise, it is difficult to explain why Wu Ju did not save himself that day but went straight back to Yiling, and then left the battlefield and returned to Jiangling. It's just that Wu Ju's treacherous plan didn't succeed, and he is bound to be guarding against himself everywhere, and this Zhang Bo has a hatred for taking his wife, but he is also a helper.

"My lord, I have to guard against it!" Seeing that Liu Cong was a little tempted, Zhang Bo counted Wu Ju's harm one after another, in fact, there is no need for Zhang Bo to say, Liu Cong also knows what kind of dilemma he and Liu Biao will face if Nanjun really falls into the hands of Wu Ju.

Could it be that this Zhang Bo is really dedicated to the public? Liu Cong is a little uncertain, but the clues he provided can allow Liu Cong to make some trouble, even if he can't defeat Wu Ju, he can also let Wu Ju get out of the position of Nanjun Taishou.

But if what Zhang Bo said was all for his own exculpation, wouldn't he have a bad reputation if he acted rashly; If what Zhang Bo said was true, how could Wu Ju sit still and wait to die?

That night, Zhang Bo also listed all kinds of suspicious phenomena, and the only purpose was to hope that Liu Cong could believe that Wu Ju's rebellion was true, and Liu Cong didn't know whether to believe Zhang Bo or not, so he had to deal with sending Zhang Bo away, pacing back and forth in the room alone, but he couldn't sleep.

If Zhang Bo can have more evidence, then Wu Ju will definitely be a dead end, in that case, the position of the Taishou of Nanjun will be vacant, Liu Congping is meritorious, and he is the governor of Nanjun, so the chance is naturally great.

So whether it is public or private, although Liu Cong doesn't dare to fully trust Zhang Bo who suddenly appeared, the two can use each other, the reason why Zhang Bo is so scheming is nothing more than his concubine having an affair with Wu Ju, and it may even be Wu Ju's old friend, which is a great shame for any man, Zhang Bo naturally wants to put Wu Ju to death and hurry up.

From this point of view, Liu Cong and Zhang Bo can form an offensive and defensive alliance, and after arriving in Xiangyang, Zhang Bo insisted that Wu Ju was plotting to rebel, and Liu Cong's pressure was much less.

But Liu Cong clearly remembered that Zhang Bo, who greeted him outside the city gate before, was smiling, and he couldn't see what happened in Yiling at all. A man, his concubine had an affair with his boss, and killed him in anger, but he was still talking and laughing freely without moving, if it wasn't for Liu Cong asking about Zhang Bo at the banquet, others didn't know that such a thing happened to Zhang Bo County, which shows the depth of this Zhang Bo City Mansion.

And when Liu Cong and others asked about it, Zhang Bo also passed it off, and it was not until others retreated that one person pleaded guilty to Liu Cong, which shows that this person is not only far-sighted, but also has a good face. was able to endure and quietly observe the changes in the general situation, until it was confirmed that Liu Cong had swept away Zigui and returned to Yiling, and then he started to kill the concubine. This shows that Zhang Bo's IQ is also very comparable.

Is it possible to cooperate with insurance with such a person? This made Liu Cong very embarrassed. Liu Cong knew that this Zhang Bo was also a gamble, and hoped to be able to move Liu Cong to get rid of Wu Ju for himself, otherwise he was afraid that he would be helpless to take Wu Ju according to his own strength. Such a person is either a hero or a capable minister in troubled times.

After leaving Liu Cong's room, Zhang Bo also tossed and turned, for him, it was unacceptable for him to continue to be a county commander under Wu Ju, the hatred of taking his wife was extraordinary, then Wu Ju must have calculated himself a long time ago if he was so deceitful, in Zhang Bo's opinion, Wu Ju's idea was to kill himself by the hands of mountain bandits, otherwise he would not be so resolute to take away most of the county soldiers.

But tonight, Liu Cong's reaction can only be said to be decent, not at all like a twenty-one or twelve-year-old young man, in other words, ordinary people are either indignant at his act of killing his concubine, or he agrees to kill the anti-thief Wu Ju. Liu Cong's caution was too unexpected for Zhang Bo, is this still the cowardly second son that people say?

The first time he went to the battlefield, he killed seven people, killed nearly 2,000 mountain bandits with 1,500 people effortlessly, and almost unharmed to recover Zigui, can be civil and martial, looking at the entire Jingzhou and even the entire Han family, how many young people can do it?

Zhang Bo thought about it and felt that he might have made the right bet, such a young man has the identity of the second son, so Wu Ju should not be an opponent. It's just how to make Liu Cong make up his mind?

Liu Cong's last few words seemed to imply something, Zhang Bo thought of Liu Cong's last advice, simply didn't sleep, and called a few henchmen overnight to do something.

Liu Cong also fell asleep near dawn in the back hall of the county government, and after not sleeping for two hours, Huang Quan came back. Huang Quan didn't sleep that night, and when he heard that Zhang Bo had killed his concubine, he was worried about Liu Cong's safety. Liu Cong's instructions were enough for Huang Quan's subordinates to work for a while.

Because they had a little eyebrows when they returned to Zi before, Huang Quan and the others quickly found out some clues. rushed over early in the morning to report to Liu Cong.

First of all, Wu Ju did stay in Yiling for one night when he was defeated, and forcibly took away most of the county soldiers, and these remaining county soldiers and the county officials present can prove that Zhang Bo did not lie. In addition, Concubine Zhang Bo is indeed from Changsha.

Opportunity, rare opportunity, Liu Cong definitely doesn't want to let go of the opportunity to control Nanjun, even if there is no episode of Zhang Bo killing the concubine, Liu Cong also plans to find another way to control Nanjun, after all, the geographical location of this Nanjun is too important, the east and west waterways connect Jiangdong and Yizhou, the south is the four counties of Changsha, and to the north is Nanyang and Xiangyang City, the seat of Jingzhou.

And from the economic point of view, the Jianghan Plain is vast and suitable for planting double-cropping rice, it is a big granary, known as Jiangling ripe, Jingzhou is enough, if it is reclaimed, it can even be Jiangling ripe, the world is full. If you want to control Jingzhou to fight Cao Cao, you must first master Nanjun, this transportation artery and granary.

Now Zhang Bo gave an excuse, and Wu Ju never dreamed that not saving Liu Cong on the battlefield would lead to any consequences.

On the next day, Liu Cong summoned Gan Ning, Wei Yan, Huang Quan and two foreign military marquises, Wang Zhong and Liu Ling, to discuss, and of course Zhang Bo was also asked to participate.

Liu Cong said with a serious face: "Everyone, the successful recovery of Zigui is a great achievement, and this official should lead you to Xiangyang immediately to accept the reward, but now there is a big event, and I am afraid that I will not be able to return to Xiangyang for the time being." ”

"My lord, what happened? Even if you tell you, we will only look forward to it! Gan Ning was the first to say, after this period of getting along, Gan Ning felt more and more that he had underestimated this second son before, was it just because the second son was very restrained in Xiangyang City, and now he had the opportunity to show his talent when he was leading troops alone?

"Yes, my lord, don't worry, if there are any more bandits who don't know each other, I will wait for them to come and go." Wei Yan saw Gan Ning's statement, and he was not to be outdone.

"The two generals are loyal, but this time the matter is a little troublesome, Lord Zhang, let's talk about it." After Liu Cong finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Bo.

"Yes!" Zhang Bo stood up from his position, made a simple salute to everyone, and then began to say: "Xiaguan is the order of Yiling County, it should not be said, but at this time, it is related to the safety of Jingzhou and the imperial court, and Xiaguan has to fight ......."

"That Wu Ju was ordered to beg the thief, but he didn't want to forge ahead, and even the second son was in distress and never returned to the army to save him, and forcibly withdrew most of the county soldiers in Yiling, indicating that he wanted to put Gongzi and me to death first, causing the fact that the mountain bandits occupied the two counties, and then recruited troops and horses, and then took the opportunity to break away from the jurisdiction of General Zhennan after actually controlling Nanjun Zhen......" Zhang Bo added oil and vinegar to what he said to Liu Cong last night, and took out a lot of evidence to hand over to everyone.
