Since Liu Zhang decided to crusade against Jiangnan, then the civil and military forces under his command naturally immediately used their brains to find a "reasonable" reason for Liu Zhang to send troops. As the saying goes, there is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid of people with hearts! Soon, this plausible reason came out!

Liu Zhang's crusade against Wang Rui after the emperor gave the festival and the Yue, of which the Yue is the axe, which is exclusive to the Son of Heaven, as a courtier can not have, it is called the false Jieyue, which means that the Son of Heaven is temporarily lent to a certain courtier, although the name is temporary, but this loan is several years, and it has not been withdrawn (Emperor Xian said that I have the ability to take it back), that is to say, Liu Zhang has always had the right to replace the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty to conquer the thieves and not the ministers! Now, the Jiangnan thief Yan Baihu gathered more than 10,000 people, broke through Wu County, and killed countless people, as the Han clan, Liu Zhang, who was awarded Emperor Longen as the king of Shu, should naturally share his worries for Emperor Xian, crusade against Yan Baihu, and save the people of Wu County from fire and water!

Well, if you want to crusade against Yan Baihu, you naturally have to borrow from Liu Xuan's territory, if Liu Xuan agrees, he will fall into the false way of defeating him, and then he can easily solve Liu Xuan by finding a reason at will, and then capture Wu County and Huiji; If Liu Miao doesn't agree, then okay, immediately put a big hat on you, what is your intention to block the righteous master from crusading against the thieves? Do you mean that you are in cahoots with thieves? In this way, it will be simpler, the army will drive directly over, and destroy it in three times and five by two!

But when the reason was found, Liu Zhang hesitated about whether to meet Liu Xiang Bingrong, after all, Liu Xiang and him are both members of the Han clan, no matter how bright the reason is, it is inevitable that the reputation of the same room will be played, and when it comes to genealogy, Liu Xiang is still his cousin, although the blood relationship may have long been faint and there is no lower limit, but the Han Dynasty governs the country with filial piety, if he uses troops against Liu Xuan, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public. There is also the fact that Liu Xuan's character is very admirable, so Zhang doesn't want to be his enemy. After Liu Xuan's death in history, Sun Ce, the former enemy, welcomed his corpse to his hometown Muping for a grand burial, and took good care of Liu Xuan's children, which is a rare and valuable thing for Sun Ce, and from this point it can also reflect Liu Xuan's noble character, even his enemies are also very respectful!

Therefore, Liu Zhang decided to salute first and then soldier, he asked Lu Su to hand over his handwritten letter to Liu Xuan, in which he regarded himself as a son and nephew, and respected Liu Xiang very much between words, Liu Zhang also found Liu Dai, who had died, and praised the friendship established with Liu Dai when he crusaded against Dong Zhuo, praised Liu Dai's love and care for his younger generation, and expressed his grief for Liu Dai's death......

Sure enough, after reading the letter with Liu Dai's mother, Liu Xuan, who was a compatriot of Liu Dai's mother, soon got closer to Liu Zhang.

Subsequently, Liu Zhang praised Liu Xuan's noble character, and he told Liu Xuan that as a member of the Han clan, he was very sad about the situation of the Han Dynasty, and he was determined to revitalize the Han Dynasty, hoping that Liu Xuan, who was also a member of the Han Dynasty, could teach and help him complete this grand wish!

Liu Zhang did not publicly express in the letter that he had the intention of plotting against the three counties in the south of the Yangtze River, but expressed his concern for Liu Xuan's safety! Liu Xiang was a pastor of Yangzhou, but he was squeezed by Yuan Shu to the bitter cold land of Jiangnan (don't be surprised, Jiangnan at this time is far less beautiful and prosperous than later generations, and even the most remote Yizhou is richer than Jiangnan, Jiangnan at this time was even used as a place of exile by the Han Dynasty, think about it, what kind of place will the court exile the guilty to), and Yuan Shu is insatiable, he has long coveted the whole Yangzhou, once Yuan Shu's army crosses the river, I am afraid that Liu Shu's life and safety will be greatly threatened- If you don't kill Liu Xuan, the Yangzhou pastor who is in order, Yuan Shu may not be able to sit still in Yangzhou!

Although Liu Zhang did not show the intention of plotting against Jiangnan, after reading the entire letter, Liu Miao clearly saw Liu Zhang saying to him, "Follow me to have meat to eat and wine to drink, what are you waiting for?" Hurry up and open the city, I can't guarantee your safety when it's too late! ”

Liu Miao read Liu Zhang's letter three times, and each time he read it, he felt a stronger sense of powerlessness in his body. Some indecisive Liu Xuanzhao is Yi, Xu Shao and others helped to come up with an idea.

Yes Yi this person may not know much, this person served Liu Xiang in his early years, after Liu Xiang was defeated, he avoided Huiji, Sun Quan succeeded to the throne and sincerely invited him to come out, Sun Quan won the trust of Sun Quan because of his integrity and incorruptible character, and later it was he who strengthened Sun Quan's heart to crusade against Guan Yu. Shi Yi agreed with Liu Zhang's letter that "Yuan Shu must invade Danyang in the south", and he believed that compared with Yuan Shu, Danyang was at an absolute disadvantage, and it was inevitable that he would fail in the end. However, compared with Liu Zhang, Yuan Shu is insignificant, as long as Liu Zhang is accepted, he will definitely be able to ensure Liu Zhang's safety, talk about the public, and have the gift of offering land; On personal matters, there is the friendship of uncles and nephews.

Xu Shao is too famous compared to Yiyi, and a sentence of evaluation of Cao Cao - the capable minister who governs the world, and the traitor of the troubled times, almost everyone in later generations knows it. Xu Shao and Shiyi's judgment is the same, whether it is Yuan Shu or Liu Zhang, they are not comparable to the current Liu Xuan, once Yuan Shu enters Jiangnan, Liu Xuan's best ending may be to give himself a happy ending; If Liu Zhang enters Jiangnan, the ending will be completely different, he thinks that Liu Zhang's ambition is in the world, he must cherish his feathers very much, if he takes the initiative to take refuge, not only can he save his life without worry, but also be rich and noble......

The words of the two strategists made Liu Miao make the decision to take the initiative to join Liu Zhang, after all, he and Liu Zhang are of the same ancestry, and everything they do is to revive the Liu family, in this case, why should he take refuge in this nephew and help him realize the grand wish of all the descendants of the Liu family?

Liu Miao immediately sent Shiyi to envoy Yu Zhang.

The arrival of Yiyi was warmly received by Lu Su, after learning that Liu Xiang offered the land to surrender, Lu Su told him that Liu Zhang had already given him a secret letter, in which Liu Zhang said that once Liu Xiang took the initiative to surrender, Liu Zhang still took Liu Xiang as the Yangzhou pastor, and at the same time told Liu Xiang that he would definitely let him sit a veritable Yangzhou pastor in the future, if Liu Xiang was not willing to shepherd one side, he could also enter the center, how to choose everything depends on Liu Xiang's willingness!

Similarly, for the military officials under Liu Xuan, Liu Zhang will also be retained in his original position, and if he is outstanding, he will also be promoted and reused.

Shi Yi stayed in Yuzhang for a day and immediately returned to Danyang, accompanied by the 30,000 troops of the First Fleet of Gan Ning's Navy!

When the mighty fleet arrived at Wanling, Liu Miao did not hesitate at all and went to the river to greet him in person.

Gan Ning was very respectful to Liu Xuan, and called "adult" and "righteous courtesy" one by one, which made Liu Xuan's heart settle down a lot.

Gan Ning told Liu Miao that he was only the vanguard army, and the Shu army was about to come soon, and then the Shu army would first pacify the three counties in the south of the Yangtze River, and then wave his troops to the north to reach Huainan, and he would definitely make Liu Xuan, the Yangzhou herdsman, deserve his name.

Liu Miao was overjoyed, and set up a banquet for Gan Ning that night, and on top of the banquet, Gan Ning saw a young general with a beautiful beard and a heroic face, and stepped forward with a cup: "General is not Donglai Taishi Ziyi?" ”

The young general bowed his hand and said: "It is the last general, I don't know how the general learned the cheap name?" ”

"Haha, it's you!" Gan Ning held the cup in one hand, patted the other party's shoulder with the other, and laughed: "Let's not talk about this first, come, let's have a drink!" ”

Who Taishi Ziyi is, don't you need to say much? It is the Tai Shi Ci who puts faith and righteousness first!

Tai Shi Ci was only a depressed low-level general under Liu Xiang at this time, because he was stained with the light of Liu Xiang's fellow villagers, he was qualified to sit here, and seeing Gan Ning, the deputy commander of the Third Field Army of Shu State, the commander of the First Fleet of the Navy Army, the third-class earl, and the official worship of the major general, how dare he refuse, and hurriedly raised his glass and said: "The last general respects the general!" ”

After drinking, Gan Ning patted Tai Shici's shoulder again and said, "It's not that Ning knows the king, but the prince knows ......."

Tai Shi Ci couldn't help but interrupt Gan Ning's words curiously, and said: "If the name is not spread for ten miles, the king of Shu is far away in Chang'an, how can he know it?" ”

"Haha, don't hide Ziyi, how does the prince know Ziyi, but I don't know, Ning only knows that the prince has mentioned Ziyi's name in Ning's ear countless times, and the prince said that Ziyi is skillful in bow and horse, and the strings are not false, and more importantly, Ziyi is loyal and righteous...... The prince often regrets that he has not won the righteousness of the child! Shicai Ning saw that Ziyi's bearing was extraordinary, so he inquired, I didn't want to be really Ziyi, this time the prince finally got his long-cherished wish! ”

On the side, Yi smiled and said, "Could it be that the magical dream of the King of Shu again?" ”

After hearing this, everyone seemed to have no other possibility, and they couldn't help but nod their heads, and at the same time deeply envy Tai Shici. You must know that as Liu Zhang's power grows stronger day by day, things about that magical dream will inevitably circulate, and there is a long list of names along with that incredible dream.

Tai Shi Ci looked at Gan Ning in disbelief, his face could not hide his excitement, as he said on his deathbed, "The eldest husband was born in troubled times, and he should take a three-foot sword to make immortal achievements", Tai Shi Ci, who has set up this ambition since childhood, has learned a skill, but he has never been able to reuse it under the command of Liu Xuan, which makes him very depressed, but he is not willing to lose his trust in others, so he has to stay in Danyang and do nothing, and now he finally has the opportunity to show his ambitions, how can he not be excited?

Sure enough, Gan Ning immediately made a request to Liu Xuan, hoping that Liu Xuan could agree to pull Tai Shici under his command.

Liu Miao realized that he had always seemed to really underestimate this fellow countryman, but since he had been cast under Liu Zhang, it was probably unknown whether he would be a blessing or a curse to keep Tai Shi Ci, why not let him go, everyone knew that the time had come for Tai Shi Ci to get ahead, maybe in the future, after Tai Shi Ci became famous, he could take care of himself with the friendship of his fellow villagers, so he agreed to Gan Ning's request.

Gan Ning was overjoyed, and immediately appointed Tai Shi Ci as the staff officer of the First Fleet of the Navy, Gan Ning explained to Tai Shi Ci that he originally intended to let Tai Shi Ci be his deputy, but Shu had a clear decision, unless the appointment of generals above the battalion level of the army was in wartime, it must be reviewed by the Shu State Officials, and only the Ministry of Officials agreed and issued a letter of appointment, he had no right to appoint a deputy commander, and could only let Tai Shi Ci temporarily be his staff officer, the position of staff officer was very special, because there was no specific leadership position, so it could be appointed by the corresponding generalsThe absence of a specific leadership position does not mean that the position of staff officer is irrelevant, on the contrary, they are often the ones who help the generals to give advice when they need help the most, so they are extremely trusted by the generals and have a very respected status.

Of course, Tai Shici will not be dissatisfied, he believes that as long as he can be reused, even if Gan Ning makes him a personal soldier, with his skills, he can quickly get ahead!

It's a pity that Gan Ning later submitted his request to appoint Tai Shici as the deputy commander of the First Fleet, but Liu Zhang vetoed it, and he directly transferred 7,500 cavalry from the recruit training camp and asked them to ride to Danyang to report to Tai Shici, and Tai Shici became the commander of the 13th Division of the Shu Cavalry, which belonged to the Third Field Army and worshiped the colonel!
