Chapter 18: Agreed Rebellion

"He's going to rebel! I said how could he be ambushed by mountain bandits on the outskirts of Yiling City, and he didn't care about it afterwards, and now we get back Zigui can be regarded as hated by him, my lord, please give an order quickly, we will lead our troops to Jiangling, and we will definitely capture Wu Juna! Gan Ning heard what Zhang Bo said, and then looked at Liu Cong's sad face, so he volunteered.

"Yes, my lord, Wu Ju is already a big crime if he doesn't save us on the battlefield, this Zigui is a mountain bandit, he is too much to blame as a county guard, knowing that our army is newly defeated and also withdrawing the county soldiers, obviously to give up Yiling. There is so much evidence that he must be in a gang with those mountain bandits, and please give me an order, we will be able to capture that guy alive!" Wei Yan followed Gan Ning and also expressed his position.

Gan Ning and Wei Yan's attitude was also expected by Liu Cong, after all, Gan Ning and Wei Yan were under Liu Biao's account and belonged to Xiangyang, and Wu Ju rebelled, and they had the obligation to quell the rebellion.

"My lord, this matter is very important, if you don't give General Zhennan first, if Wu Ju rebels, I'm afraid that the troops will not be enough, do you send someone to Xiangyang to ask for reinforcements, let Lord Wenpin come?" Wang Zhong saw the two of them express their attitudes, and knew that he couldn't stop Liu Cong from making any decisions, so he just said the worries in his heart.

"Yes, since Wu Ju has the intention to rebel, he is naturally prepared, although we have two thousand five hundred people. It is similar to the defenders in Gangneung Castle, but if it is attacked, it is afraid that there is no chance of victory. But if Wu Ju is allowed to go, I am afraid that there will be more and more soldiers in Jiangling City...... And when the time comes, if Wu Ju sees that there is no chance of winning and insists that he is innocent, how should we deal with it? What Liu Ling said would actually be what Liu Cong was worried about.

Liu Cong actually wanted to kill Jiangling and drive Wu Ju out of the Taishou Mansion for a long time, but he couldn't show it too much in front of the generals, but Wang Zhong and Liu Ling's worries were reasonable, Liu Conggui was the second son, but he didn't want to steal chickens and rice, and ruin his good future.

"My lord, without further ado, the evidence of Wu Ju's rebellion is conclusive. Reinforcements are naturally invited, but it would be a great success for you to be able to do so before the reinforcements arrived. As for that Wu Ju, it is not difficult to deal with according to the lower officials. Xia Guan thought that although Wu Ju was over half a hundred years old, he was not a resourceful person, and his deputies Huo Jun and Wang Wei were all brave and resourceful people.

All you have to do is stabilize them with a trick, and then lead your troops to a surprise attack. The lord is on the side of justice, although there are thousands of defenders in Jiangling City, but at this stage, they may not be completely under Wu Ju's orders, if the time drags on for a long time, it will be difficult to say......" Zhang Bo saw that Liu Cong's generals had different attitudes, so he began to mobilize his emotions again.

|“ What do you think? Liu Cong looked at Gan Ning, Wei Yan and the others again.

"As Master Zhang said, you can't give that guy any more time, otherwise Jiangling City will be even more difficult to attack!" Gan Ning thought for a while: "Either I will lead my troops to launch a feint attack from the waterway, and my lord will lead a large army to attack from the land, and the two sides will attack." ”

"It's not proper, I don't have many people, and it's really thin to divide the troops. My lord, even if you can't take Jiangling City for the time being, you must cut off Wu Ju's contact with the outside world as soon as possible, and wait until the Xiangyang reinforcements arrive before making plans. Although Wei Yan also wanted to rush to Jiangling City immediately to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions like Gan Ning, Wang Zhong's words also reminded him that although Jiangling City did not have any famous generals, after all, there was a city wall as a cover, but he also insisted that Wu Ju could not be given any more time.

After discussing for more than half an hour, Huang Quan also expressed his opinions, although they expressed their own opinions, they basically reached a consensus, that is, the evidence showed that Wu Ju had made it clear that the situation should be controlled as soon as possible. This is the effect that Liu Cong wants to achieve, Wu Ju's rebellion was proposed by Zhang Bo and determined after discussion among the generals.

In the future, if someone makes a fuss about this, Liu Cong can also be regarded as a statement, as for how to take Jiangling, Liu Cong has already thought about it last night, the first thing to do is to stabilize Wu Ju, whether Wu Ju believes it or not, he and Zhang Bo each took a letter of resignation, and briefly reported to Wu Ju the situation of Liu Cong and others recovering Zigui and temporarily living in Yiling.

Liu Cong even proposed that his soldiers were brave, and in order to commend their merits, he hoped that Taishou could personally meet them to boost morale, and at the same time deter those restless small mountain bandit forces in the county. Liu Cong proposed that he personally lead the army to Jiangling County three days later.

At the same time, Liu Cong did not let Gan Ning, Wei Yan and others be idle, and asked the generals to return to the camp to train the soldiers as soon as the meeting ended, ready to leave for Jiangling at any time.

Although the situation is urgent, Liu Cong does not want to take risks, nearly 500 people in this army are new recruits, 500 are mountain bandits and family members, and they can't do drills, at least they have to be able to understand the basic orders of the battlefield such as the flag language.

When everyone left, Liu Cong left Huang Quan alone.

"How's your investigation going?"

"It's roughly the same as what Zhang Xianling said, but it's a bit hasty to judge Wu Jubi? ……”

"You're confused, do you wait until the day he ascends the tree flag to act?" Liu Cong knew what Huang Quan was worried about, but he must change Liu Biao's gentle and elegant style.

"But the general ...... there"

"You don't have to worry about that. His father is well-known in Jingzhou, and he doesn't want to be infamy. It's just that now is a troubled time, an era that emphasizes strength. You have to remember that Cao Cao chased Yuan Shu, attacked Lu Bu, and drove Liu Bei to attack Yuan Shao without any clear and justifiable reasons. Then Wu Juxian didn't say that he rebelled, that is, it was already a capital crime to not save me on the battlefield a few days ago.

We can't tolerate such a person staying in Jingzhou and staying by his side, let alone a critical place like Nanjun. Otherwise, today Nanjun is out of control, and tomorrow Wuling, Lingling, Guiyang, Changsha and other counties will follow suit, and there will be a few people who will obey his father's order. Contrary or not, he Wu Ju must give way. Instead of making him resentful, let him die and understand! ”

"The subordinates understand that this Nanjun Taishou should be replaced by a loyal person." Huang Quan heard that Liu Cong insisted on controlling Nanjun, and immediately understood. These two dukes are already the lieutenants of Nanjun, and this crusade is meritorious, and Nanjun is too vacant...... It seems that I really underestimated these two sons before. These two sons look about the same age as themselves, but they are not ambiguous at all in planning their affairs. Preparations are already underway for the future succession.

Over there, Zhang Bo also wrote a letter to Wu Juxiu according to Liu Cong's intentions, reporting in detail the whereabouts of Liu Cong and others, and mentioning that now that Liu Cong has returned, he is about to return to Jiangling, and he also hopes that Wu Ju will transfer the 300 county soldiers he took back to Yiling to restore the normal order of Yiling.

The two official documents were delivered to Jiangling successively, Wu Ju read the two letters, although he did not doubt it, but he was very depressed, he had calculated it step by step, who expected that the second son of the puss bag would turn the tables, and Zigui would take it smoothly, and that Yiling was naturally under the control of Liu Cong and others, and it seemed that this independent matter would be postponed......

As for Liu Cong's proposal to lead his troops to Jiangling, Wu Ju did not pay attention to it, because Liu Cong and Zhang Bo both wrote that Liu Cong now had less than a thousand people left, and the rest would stay in Yiling to recuperate. This Liu Cong was originally the captain of Nanjun, and Wu Ju had no good reason to refuse him to lead his troops into the city. At that time, he can only wait for him to bring people in before controlling him, and maybe he will be able to increase more than a thousand people.

Although Wu Ju thought so, he did not reveal it, but announced the letter from the two at the Taishou Mansion Yagong Court, and began to arrange to welcome Liu Cong and others in triumph. In any case, the superficial work still has to be done.

Bo Liu Ba, the head of the household, was assigned a good task, which was specifically responsible for receiving Liu Cong and others into the city.

Speaking of this Liu Ba, Lingling Haoyang (now Shaodong, Hunan) in Jingzhou at the end of the Han Dynasty, at the beginning of the word, he was a celebrity of the Jingzhou family, and he was very talented when he was a teenager. Father Liu Xiang, Jiangxia Taishou, Dangkou General.

In the last years of Emperor Ling, after the failure of the Yellow Turban Uprising, Liu Xiang was appointed as the Jiangxia Taishou and Dangkou general. In the first year of Emperor Yonghan of the Han Dynasty (189), Sun Jian raised an army to attack Dong Zhuo, because Nanyang was too guarded by Zhang Zhi and did not give military food, so he attacked and killed him. Liu Xiang and Sun Jian were of the same heart, and the people of Nanyang resented Liu Xiang because of this, and raised troops to attack him, Liu Xiang fought with them and was defeated and died.

Liu Biao also never liked Liu Xiang, and after Liu Xiang was killed, he detained his son Liu Ba and wanted to kill him. Suffering from having no excuse, he sent people who were close to Liu Xiang several times to deceive Liu Ba: "Liu Zhoumu wants to harm you, let's escape from here together." After repeated persuasion, Liu Ba just refused. The person reported back to Liu Biao, and Liu Biao did not kill Liu Ba. Later, Liu Biao recruited Liu Ba one after another, and recommended him as Maocai, but Liu Ba did not accept it.
