No. 686 at the end of the third year of Jian'an4
After all, this is not the place to speak, so after sighing, Kuai Yue took his cousin back to his mansion, and then the cause and effect of the incident was explained to Kuai Liang in detail.
In Fu Tong's warning letter, a person was mentioned - Huan Jie.
Huanjie used to be Sun Jian's subordinate official, Sun Jian died in Jingzhou, and it was the entire Huanjie who risked his life to ask for Liu Biao and retrieved Sun Jian's body for the Sun family. At the beginning, for the sake of face and reputation, Liu Biao did not blame Huanjie, but with his character, how could he not be jealous of this person in his heart.
Fu Tong said in the letter that Zhang Xian, like Chen Qi in Xiapi, betrayed Liu Biao in the name of the four counties of Jingnan, and it was this Huan rank who instigated it.
Liu Biao asked his nephew Zhang Yun to send someone to verify the matter, but he didn't expect that after verification, whether Huan Jie persuaded Zhang Xian to betray Liu Biao was a matter of secrecy, and naturally it could not be ascertained in the short term.
However, Fu Tong said that Huan Jie worked for Zhang Xian, but it was true. At this time, Huan Jie was serving as the chief secretary of the subordinate officials in Zhang Xian's Changsha County, and during this time, Zhang Xian often recruited Huan Jie to his mansion, and the two talked all night, and many times, Huan Jie simply spent the night in Zhang Xian's mansion. Not only that, but I don't know when Zhang Xian really had to secretly recruit and train a large number of recruits in Changsha County.
Regarding this point, Liu Biao personally asked Liu Pan, who had just left Changsha County, but his nephew didn't even know.
Obviously, the historical records of Zhang Xian and Huan are incomplete.
Huanjie did not persuade Zhang Xian to raise troops in the four counties of Jingnan in the fifth year of Jian'an, during the Battle of Guandu.
After all, Liu Biao is the pastor of Jingzhou, with 100,000 Jingzhou soldiers, but Zhang Xian is only the Taishou of a county in Changsha County, if he did not prepare and accumulate strength in advance, how could he be persuaded by Huan Jieyi to immediately raise troops to betray Liu Biao?
What's more, the other three Taishou in the four counties of Jingnan are not fools, Zhang Xian sent people to persuade them to betray Liu Biao together, and the three Taishou immediately happily followed!
How is this possible?
No matter how high Zhang Xian's prestige is, how can it be higher than Liu Biao's prestige in Jingzhou?
Do these actions take time?
And Jin Jue also guessed another possibility! With Huanjie's eloquence, it is very likely that he was the one who helped Zhang Xian successfully defeat the Taishou of the other three counties of the four counties of Jingnan.
At this stage, Zhang Xian's reverses have not yet been revealed, and Liu Biao's army has not yet been deployed, and the deployment of defense in Jiangxia County has not been completed, so it is not good for Liu Biao to move Zhang Xian now.
However, Huan Jie was just a small person, even if he secretly sent someone to kill him, Zhang Xian would not dare to raise troops to betray Liu Biao now. Therefore, after learning of this matter, Liu Biaocai immediately assigned Zhang Yun to send someone to assassinate Huan Jie, regardless of whether there was conclusive evidence or not, of course, if it was possible, it would not be impossible to assassinate Zhang Xian himself first.
It's a pity that since Zhang Xian began to secretly recruit soldiers in Changsha County, he has strengthened his usual guards, and the assassins sent by Zhang Yun couldn't find an opportunity, so they followed Zhang Yun's orders and not only assassinated Huanjie, but also killed everyone in the Huan family by the way.
Zhang Yun's purpose in doing this was to give Zhang Xian a warning.
In fact, it was Liu Biao who listened to Fu Tong's advice and suddenly transferred Huang Zu to Wuling County to serve as the Taishou, which stimulated Zhang Xian, who was persuaded by Huanjie and was hesitating, so he began to recruit a large number of recruits in Changsha County to accumulate strength under Huanjie's suggestion. At that time, Liu Pan also happened to leave Youxian, so it is not surprising that Liu Pan did not know about this matter.
"Alas......!" Hearing that the Huan clan was destroyed by the people sent by Zhang Yun because of this, even if there was a reason for it, Kuai Liang was still extremely unhappy in his heart after hearing it, he sighed, and then, he thought about it again, snorted angrily, and said, "Hmph! This Huan rank, eloquence, plus the matter of asking for Sun Jian's body, I originally thought he was a good talent, but I didn't expect to do such a thing.
The world is not famous, Cao Cao now even if he has the Son of Heaven, but he has repeatedly made big mistakes, the situation has become more uncertain than before, he actually dared to instigate Zhang Taishou to gather troops at this time, ready to betray the state pastor. It's not even innocent. Didn't he think that once the four counties of Jingnan betrayed the state pastor together, how many innocent people would be killed and injured because of this? ”
"Yes, big brother, you are very right!" Hearing this, Kuai Yue bowed his head slightly and said: "With Cao Cao's current strength, even if Zhang Xian raises troops, he will definitely not have the ability to send troops to respond to Zhang Xian, not to mention, Fu Tong, who is newly promoted by the state pastor, can block Cao Cao's army with a small number of soldiers and bandits defending the city in Luyang County in Luyang County, if he is allowed to stay in Xinye County for a period of time, with his ability, Cao Cao may not be able to pass his pass even if he personally raises the whole army to attack Jingzhou!" ”
Previously, Kuai Liang had been directing the Jingzhou talents he had recruited in Nanyang County to deal with the migration of the people, but Kuai Yue had been paying attention to Fu Tong.
Through the brief confrontation between Cao Jun and Fu Tong before, as well as Fu Tong's skillful battle to capture the seven counties north of Nanyang County, Kuai Yue has now recognized Fu Tong's ability, especially in military defense.
Therefore, the current Kuai Yue is no longer as optimistic about Cao Cao as in the original history.
"By the way, big brother, do you have any promising talents this time?" Knowing that the eldest brother was still angry about Zhang Yun's assassination of the Huanjie clan, Kuai Yue hurriedly diverted the topic and asked.
Both families have daughters waiting to get married, so Kuai Yue is more concerned about whether Kuai Liang has found good talents in the action of migrating the people this time.
In ancient times, it was a common means for the family to use the way of marriage to attract the talents around it.
In Jingzhou, the most famous example is that the celebrity Huang Chengyan married the daughter of the famous minister Cai Wei and made a brother-in-law with Liu Biao. And Huang Chengyan himself found the famous Zhuge Liang as his son-in-law.
"Yes, but not much." When Kuai Liang heard this, he thought about it and replied, "Alas, ......! Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Xi Zhen, Yin Guan, Li Yan, the three Yang brothers, the Ma brothers, etc., are all good. However, Xenodu, to be honest, except for Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, if you compare these people with Fu Tong, they are still a lot worse.
I also heard that the eldest daughter of the Cai family has gone to Luyang County and met Fu Tong. ”
The three Ma brothers naturally refer to the five constants of the Ma family in Xiangyang, the elder brother of Ma Liang and Ma Yan.
And the three Yang brothers refer to Yang Yi, as well as his brother and brother.
Yang Yi, a native of Xiangyang. His elder brother Yang Weifang, the word Weifang, the clan brother Yang Hao, the word Zizhao.
