After discussing with everyone, Liu Biao took Huang Zhong and 500 soldiers to Yicheng quickly, leaving Zhang Yun to stay in Fan County to assist Zheng Jun and the two in recruiting and training troops for later use. Although it is possible that Yuan Shu will be discovered by mobilizing troops to Nanjun, but now Nanjun and Jiangxia are full of thieves, and it is better to be discovered by Yuan Shu than to be killed by thieves.

A few days later.

"Zirou, Xenodu, now that Liu Biao has come to visit, how do you think you should deal with it?" Cai Mao looked at the two of them with a serious expression and asked.

"Hehe, the idea we are waiting for is the same as Deju." Kuai Liang chuckled and said, "Although Yuan Shu won Jingzhou, he didn't pay any attention to the thieves in Jingzhou. And the messenger sent before was also arrogant and rude. If Jingzhou falls into the hands of such people, I am afraid that it will only become a victim of his struggle for power and profit. ”

"Hmm...... Having said that, although Liu Biao has the name of Bajun, he is now attached to Dong Zhuo......" Cai Mao said with some confusion when he heard this.

"Haha, is it a master worthy of our attachment, don't you know if you test it?" Kuai Liang said with a chuckle.

A moment later.

"This Cai Mao and Kuai are rude! The lord came to visit in person, and they dared to let the lord enter the city alone?! Huang Zhong glared angrily at the person who came to deliver the letter, and his right hand was already pressed on the saber.

Suddenly, the messenger trembled. It's just that at this moment, Liu Biao chuckled and said, "It's okay, I'll go there myself." ”

"Lord?!" Huang Zhong was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly persuaded him, "My lord, the Cai family and the Kuai family have a lot of power in Xiangyang and even in the entire Nanjun, and it is rumored that Yuan Shu also sent someone to contact them......

Without waiting for Huang Zhong to finish speaking, Liu Biao waved his hand and said, "That's why I want to meet them even more." With their help, pacifying Nanjun would be an easy task. ”

"But ......" Huang Zhong tried to persuade again, but was interrupted by Liu Biao again.

"Hansheng, I know you're worried that they're going to harm me. But if I don't do this, how can I pacify Jingzhou as soon as possible? And how can we enable the people to live a stable life as soon as possible? And if you give up this opportunity, with Ren and Fan counties, can you really calm Jingzhou in the south and reject Yuan Shu in the north? Liu Biao smiled lightly, and then said to the person who sent the letter, "Let's go, take me to meet the head of your family." ”

Hearing Liu Biao's words, Huang Zhong didn't say much, because he knew that what Liu Biao said was the truth. With the strength of Ren and Fan counties alone, it is impossible to stop Yuan Shu, and there is no way to pacify Jingzhou.

"Hope...... The lord can convince the people of those two families......" Huang Zhong shook his head and sighed.

On the other side, when the city gate was opened, Liu Biao saw three men standing behind the city gate waiting, it was Cai Mao and the three who received the news.

"Liu Yuanjun deserves to be one of the eight jun, please inside!" Cai Mao said respectfully after the three of them made a gesture.

"The three of them have won the award, if they are uneasy today, Jingzhou is in chaos, and they are the assassins of Jingzhou, and they will need a lot of help from the three of them in the future!" Liu Biao hurriedly said when he heard this.

The four of them were polite, and after a while, they came to Cai Mao's mansion and sat down one after another, and Cai Mao said respectfully, "Yuan Shu came to persuade us before, but his attitude was arrogant, and he connived at the thieves to harass Nanjun...... This time, when I heard that Liu Zhijun was coming, I was afraid that I would ...... So after a little temptation, I hope that Liu Yuanjun will not be strange. ”

"I hope that Liu Yuanjun will not be strange." As soon as Cai Mao's voice fell, the brothers of the Kuai family also said respectfully.

"The three of them are Jingzhou celebrities, and their every move involves many families in Jingzhou, and they have some scruples and cautions, but they should also be." Liu Biao hurriedly said when he heard this.

's words immediately made Cai Mao and the three of them have a good impression of Liu Biao, and then introduced the situation in Jingzhou to Liu Biao. Obviously, as the big clan of Nanjun and even the entire Jingzhou, Cai Mao and Kuai Liang's intelligence is not comparable to Ren Quan.

"I didn't expect that there were so many thieves in Nanjun, and the entire Jingzhou ......" Liu Biao shook his head and sighed when he heard this, and then suddenly stood up and said to the three of them, "Although there are many thieves, in my opinion, there will definitely not be so many wicked people who really take the opportunity to make trouble." I'm afraid that the vast majority of the thieves are just trying to protect themselves. Therefore, I hope that you can help the table, and also help the people of Jingzhou to overcome this difficulty! ”

"Liu Yuanjun doesn't have to make this big gift, how can I bear this?!" Hearing this, Cai Mao and the three hurriedly got up and persuaded.

Sitting down again, the three of them glanced at each other, and then heard Kuai Liang say, "What Liu Yuanjun said just now is extremely true, so I think that if you want to pacify these thieves, you must not use violence to counter violence." Benevolence and righteousness should be put first, so that the people can regain their trust in the government. As long as they knew that under Liu Yuanjun's governance, they would live a stable and good life, and they would naturally choose to submit. ”

"Some of the leaders of the thieves did it for their own preservation, but there were also some who did many evil deeds, and these people hated not only the people, but also many of his men. In the next thought, Liu Yuanjun might as well tempt them to come to the discussion with interests first, and then take the opportunity to kill them or absorb them. In this way, the thieves under his command will inevitably be in chaos, and it will be easy to subdue them! As soon as Kuai Liang's words fell, Kuai Yue spoke.

Seeing the calm appearance of the two of them, and hearing their words, how could Liu Biao not know that the two of them had been planning for a long time? "In that case, how about leaving this matter to the two of you?" Liu Biao looked at the two and proposed.

"I will definitely not disappoint Liu Yuanjun's expectations." Kuai Liang and the two said respectfully when they heard this.

Subsequently, Kuai Yue sent people to various places occupied by thieves to persuade them to come to Yicheng. And Liu Biao asked Cai Mao and Huang Zhong to recruit troops just in case.

A few days later, about fifteen thieves arrived in Yicheng, and after the temptation, Liu Biao immediately beheaded those who had done many evils at the banquet, and incorporated the evil ones. And the thieves they brought, after seeing the head of their boss, where do they still have the courage to resist?

And the destruction of these fifteen thieves made the other thieves panic and rushed to Yicheng to surrender. And for them, Liu Biao directly included them in the subordinate.

"In this way, only Chen Sheng and Zhang Hu from Xiangyang are left...... Liu Biao said as he looked around at everyone. At this time, Cai Mao, Kuai Liang, and many families in Nanjun were already attached to Liu Biao.

"Don't worry, the lord is willing to go to Xiangyang and persuade those two to open the city and surrender!" Kuai Yue said when he heard this.

"This ......" Liu Biao was a little hesitant when he heard this, but he was worried about Kuai Yue's safety. But in the end, at Kuai Yue's insistent request, he agreed to his proposal.
