Jian Yong came to the back door of the State Pastoral Mansion and walked in quickly. He lowered his head and looked bitter. Anyway, he is also a don't drive in Runan County, and when he came to Xiangyang City, he couldn't go to the front gate openly, he could only steal chickens and dogs and go through the back door, and his mood can be imagined.

Such humiliation made Jian Yong depressed.

However, Jian Yong was burdened with heavy responsibilities, but he did not dare to slack off. This mission to Xiangyang is related to the future of Runan County, only success is allowed, no failure is allowed, no matter how great the humiliation is, Jian Yong has to endure it.

Led by the attendants, Jian Yong soon came to the study.

When he saw Liu Biao, Jian Yong had already adjusted his mentality, with a soft smile on his face, and said respectfully: "Don't drive Jian Yong in Runan County, meet Liu Jingzhou." ”

"Sit!"

Liu Biao flicked his sleeves and said in a harmonious voice.

After Jian Yong sat down, he took a quick look, and saw that Liu Biao's expression was soft, and he was more or less relieved in his heart. If Liu Biao's expression was cold, things would definitely be difficult to do, and now that his face is pleasant, Jian Yong will not be embarrassed. Jian Yong said straight to the point: "The lord sent me to visit Xiangyang, there are two things. First, for Liu Jingzhou's foundation; Second, I want to be an ally with Liu Jingzhou. ”

Liu Biao's expression was unwavering, and he said, "Let's hear it." ”

Jian Yong didn't say it directly, and asked, "Dare to ask Liu Jingzhou, how is Yuan Shu?" ”

Liu Biao pondered for a moment and replied: "Nanyang Yuan Shu, born in the Yuan family, the third prince of the fourth generation, has many old officials, and can be called an extraordinary background. He occupies Nanyang, and there are many capable generals under his command, and tens of thousands of elite soldiers, countless grains and grasses, and can be called the heroes of the world. ”

Jian Yong said: "Liu Jingzhou is fallacious, Yuan Shu is not only not a hero in the world, on the contrary, this person is a traitor of the country. ”

Liu Biao said: "What do you mean by this? ”

Jian Yong straightened his chest and pulled his back, and talked eloquently: "Yuan Shu was born in the Yuan family, and he does have a good background. He occupies Nanyang, and there are elite soldiers and fierce generals under his command, but what did Yuan Shu do? ”

"In the past, the Tiger Prison Pass crusaded against Dong Zhuo, and Yuan Shu withdrew his troops privately, resulting in the rout of the Allied forces."

Yuan Shu fled to Nanyang County, was taken in by Liu Jingzhou, and was able to gain a foothold in Nanyang. However, Yuan Shu did not think about retribution, took Nanyang County as his own, and even more eyed the nine counties of Jingxiang. ”

"Yuan Shu has elite soldiers and fierce generals, but he doesn't want to appease the people, he doesn't worry about the country, and he uses swords and soldiers all day long, and he is clearly a traitor. Liu Jingzhou is the history of Jingzhou, and Nanyang County is the boundary of Jingzhou, and Yuan Shu divides the land to rule, which is disrespectful to Liu Jingzhou. If such a person exists for a day, he will be a disaster, will Liu Jingzhou sit idly by? ”

Jian Yongyang sprinkled all his words, all of which stated the harm of Yuan Shu to Jingzhou.

smear Yuan Shu and make Yuan Shu and Liu Biao make enemies.

Liu Biao smiled and agreed: "Yuan Shu has a treacherous mind and has to be guarded against. It's just that what Liu Bei, who is not driving, is not a good person. Without the permission of his own official, he led the army into Nanyang County without authorization, and intercepted Wang Lei and his party, which was really audacious. ”

Jian Yong chuckled in his heart, Liu Biao had a bad impression of Liu Bei.

For a while, Jian Yong's heart was constantly contemplating. Jian Yong thought for a while, and then said: "There is a reason why Liu Jingzhou misunderstood my father-in-law and led troops into Nanyang County to intercept and kill Wang Lei without authorization. ”

Liu Biao said: "What is the reason? ”

Jian Yong took a deep breath and replied without hurrying: "The lord is the son of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, after Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan, grandfather Liu Xiong, father Liu Hong, and have been officials in Zhuo County for generations. As a clan member of the Han family, the lord saw that Dong thief was controlling the dynasty and bullying the young master, and he was angry in his heart, always thinking about killing Dong thief and focusing on the dynasty. ”

"It's a pity that the lord's strength is weak, and he has more than enough heart but not enough strength."

"Dong Zhuo married his daughter, the purpose of which was to marry Sun Ce, once Dong and Sun married, Dong Zhuo won over the princes all the way. In order to sabotage Dong Zhuo's marriage strategy, the lord entered Nanyang at the risk of being besieged and killed by Yuan Shu. Entering Nanyang without informing Liu Jingzhou was the fault of the lord. But the Lord declares the heart of the country, the world is clear, and the sun and the moon can be learned. ”

Jian Yong said in a deep voice: "Liu Jingzhou is in charge of Jingzhou, his eyes are like a torch, he should know that Yuan Shu not only wants to seek Jingzhou, but also wants to seek Yuzhou, and he has long been eyeing Runan County. The lord entered Nanyang at the risk of being besieged and killed, and he had no other thoughts, just to sabotage the marriage strategy of Dong Thief. This thought, please Liu Jingzhou Mingjian. ”

After Liu Biao listened, he sighed lightly in his heart.

Liu Biao is already at the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, and he has no intention of crusading against Dong Zhuo, he just wants to manage his own one-third of an acre. As a relative of the Han family, it is not easy for Liu Bei to have the mind to revive the Han family.

Liu Biao nodded and said, "Liu Bei is worried about Sheji, it's very good." ”

Jian Yong was overjoyed in his heart, struck while the iron was hot, and continued: "The lord failed to intercept and kill Wang Lei in Nanyang, and after withdrawing to Runan, I didn't expect Wang Lei to lead troops into Runan, and burned the lord's promise, and lost the army. Now, Cao Cao and Yuan Shu are ready to make a move to seek Runan. The lord implored Liu Jingzhou to look at the face of the same Liu clan relatives, deter Yuan Shu, and contain Yuan Shu's forces. ”

Liu Biao frowned, this is not a simple matter.

Mobilize troops to deter Yuan Shu at the border, what if Yuan Shu leads the army to counterattack south? However, when Liu Biao thought of the decline of the Liu family, Liu Biao himself had no ambition, and now there are still people who want to revive the Han family, and they are quite hesitant in their hearts.

Thinking about it carefully, Liu Biao still didn't make up his mind.

The reason why he hesitated was because Liu Biao helped Liu Bei, which might offend Wang Lei.

Jian Yong got up, knelt down, and knocked his head on the ground: "Yuan Shu will definitely expand to the east when he captures Runan, and when Yuan Shu's strength is strong, it will also be a threat to Jingzhou." For Jingzhou's plan, please also ask Liu Jingzhou to help the lord. ”

Liu Biao frowned, waved his hand and said, "Let me think about it, go down, and wait for my news." ”

"Yes!"

Jian Yong was helpless in his heart and respectfully withdrew.

……

Post house, Wang Lei's residence.

It was late at night, and Wang Lei and Lu Bu had already rested.

"Boom! Boom! ”

There was a knock on the door, which rang out outside the room. Wang Lei woke up, put on a coat, sat on the bed, and ordered: "Come in!" The door creaked open, and a soldier quickly entered the room, clasped his fists and saluted, "My lord, someone has sent a letter." As he spoke, the soldier handed the letter to Wang Lei.

Wang Lei opened the envelope and quickly browsed it, with a touch of coldness in his eyes.

"What about the messenger?" Wang Lei asked.

The soldier shook his head and said, "The people have already left, I don't know who sent them." ”

Wang Lei waved his hand and ordered: "Go and invite General Lu!" ”

"Yes!"

The soldier respectfully stepped back and went to inform Lu Bu. After a while, Lu Bu came to the room with sleepy eyes, he yawned, rubbed his sour eyes and said, "It's so late, is there anything wrong?" ”

Wang Lei looked serious and said, "Brother, Liu Bei's envoy Jian Yong has come to Xiangyang. ”

"Oh, Liu Bei's people are here."

Lu Bu's eyes opened, and a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.

Lu Bu has never been a good man and a woman, and even a good man will repay him. Lu Bu was chased and killed by Liu Bei in Nanyang, and he still remembers it in his heart. Even though he defeated Liu Bei's army to take revenge, Lu Bu regarded Liu Bei as an enemy.

With all his sleepiness gone, Lu Bu asked, "Brother Xian, what are you going to do?" ”

Wang Lei took out the letter handed by the soldier and said in a deep voice: "I don't know who sent the news, Runan is in crisis, Liu Bei asked Jian Yong to come to Xiangyang for help, and asked Liu Biao to send troops to contain Yuan Shu." In addition, Jian Yong's residence was clearly explored. ”

Lu Bu's expression was cold and solemn, and he said: "The army is outside the city, and there are only about a dozen people around us. If it was a daytime action, Liu Biao could easily stop it. Now that the night is quiet, it is time to act. Kill Jian Yong, what should I do if I look at Liu Biao? ”

The corners of Wang Lei's mouth rose, he really thought so.

Liu Biao not only wants to befriend him, but also wants to have a relationship with Liu Bei, it is absolutely impossible, so he can only choose one of the two.
