It seems that it makes sense for Dong Zhuo to change "Dong Escape Song" to "Dong Ange".

Until now, Dong Zhuo did not run away, and still stayed in Luoyang safely. Luoyang had been burned by Dong Zhuo at this time, to be precise, Dong Zhuo was stationed in Biguiyuan to defend against the Kwantung coalition army.

The Kwantung princes still hold wine meetings every day, but there are more and more people who come to participate in the Kwantung Alliance and the Dong Alliance, and this time the person who joined the alliance is Liu Biao.

Liu Biao, the word Jingsheng, a person from Gaoping in Shanyang, and King Lu Gong, so Liu Bei in history will be cheeky to climb relatives, they are all descendants of Emperor Xiaojing, and they are a family three hundred years ago.

Liu Biao seems to have been associated with "eight" all his life, and is called "Bajun" with others, also known as "Bagu", "Bayou", and "Bajiao". He is also more than eight feet tall.

When he was young, Liu Biao suffered the "disaster of the party", and it was not until the Yellow Turban Rebellion that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was afraid that the party members would unite with the Yellow Turban Army, so he lifted the party ban and brought some representatives of the party into the imperial court as officials. Liu Biao, known as one of the "Eight Jun", was also made a general. After Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he waited in the Northern Army.

At the beginning, Sun Jian raised troops against Dong, took the opportunity to announce his personal vendetta, and killed Wang Rui, the assassin of Jingzhou, and Zhang Shi, the Taishou of Nanyang. Jingzhou has no owner, so someone persuaded Dong Zhuo to send Liu Biao to Jingzhou to take office, Dong Zhuo in order to strengthen the control of the northern army, so he pushed the boat down the river to appoint Liu Biao as the assassin of Jingzhou, but did not give him a soldier and let him take office alone.

Except for a legal identity as a Jingzhou assassin, Liu Biao had nothing at this time. If he can succeed in taking office, then it will also divide the momentum of Yuan Shu and Sun Jian, so that they have to pay attention to the way back. If Liu Biao is captured and cut by Yuan Shu, it will only be a loss of a "celebrity", this kind of "celebrity" Dong Zhuo's subordinates or the court have it.

In short, no matter what, after Liu Biao left, Dong Zhuo was able to firmly control the Northern Army, and it can be said that he did not lose anything.

At that time, Nanyang Taishou Zhang Zhi was killed by Sun Jian, and Yuan Shu took the opportunity to occupy Nanyang and did his best.

As the imperial hometown of Emperor Guangwu, Nanyang County has 37 cities, 520,000 household registrations, and a population of more than 2.4 million. It is not only the most populous and economically developed county in Jingzhou, but also one of the largest counties in the world.

Moreover, it is the hub of transportation between Jingzhou and the Central Plains, and from other counties in Jingzhou to Chang'an and Luoyang, it must pass through Nanyang.

At this time, there were seven counties in Jingzhou, of which Yuan Shu occupied Nanyang, Jiangxia Taishou Liu Xiang and Changsha Taishou Sun Jian all worked for Yuan Shu. Especially Changsha guarded Sun Jian, at that time, Changsha District was in turmoil, besieging the city, arrogant, and no one could control it. After Sun Jian arrived, he personally led the soldiers and set up a strategy, and between the ten months, he broke the district star. In the following year, the Zhou Dynasty, Guo Shi and other thieves rose between Lingling and Guiyang, Sun Jian ignored the law of the imperial court, "two thousand stones are too guarded to go out of bounds, and soldiers are not allowed to send without permission" resolutely crossed the border to conquer, and in ten days, they were all broken, so among the three counties, no one was not afraid of Sun Jian like a tiger.

In other words, there are a total of seven counties in Jingzhou, and Yuan Shu has Nanyang, and there are six that he can directly and indirectly control and influence. Liu Biao, the authentic Jingzhou Thorn History, has nowhere to take office except for Nanjun.

Yuan Shu had long regarded Jingzhou as his own bag, and no one else was allowed to get involved in Jingzhou, and when he heard that Liu Biao was going to Jingzhou to take office, Yuan Shu stationed troops in Luyang and sent men and horses to stop Liu Biao from going south.

When Liu Biao went to work, there were many obstacles along the way, even if he could pass the checkpoint set up by Yuan Shu in Luyang, Su Dai and Bei Yu would not let him reach Wuling smoothly. Fortunately, Liu Biao is also a character who has not been caught for more than ten years, and after changing his disguise, he came to "enter Yicheng with a single horse".

Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue brothers, Cai Mao and other wealthy clans of Nanjun were waiting for Liu Biao here, not because they really obeyed the orders of the imperial court, but for their own interests.

Liu Biao's reputation is also great, Cai Mao, Kuai Liang, and Kuai Yue brothers are also Liu Biao's friends. And no matter how you say it, it is also the history of Jingzhou appointed by the imperial court, which has enough legitimacy. In the words of this era, it is the name of righteousness. Liu Biao has mixed up to "enter Yicheng alone", which shows that he has no team of his own. Unlike Yuan Shu and Sun Jian, each has a large number of subordinates, and only by supporting Liu Biao on the throne can the interests of these wealthy families be guaranteed.

Liu Biao saw a few people, so he discussed with Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue brothers, Cai Mao and others how to pacify Jingzhou.

At this time, Jingzhou, Nanyang was occupied by Yuan Shu, Changsha was occupied by the Taishou Wu people Su Dai, so as to control Jingnan, Huarong County Magistrate Bei Yu mastered part of Nanjun, Xiangyang was in the hands of Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng, and there were "thieves" entrenched in Jingzhou. "Clan thief" refers to the surname of the big clan who lives in the clan, and in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the powerful clan was very powerful. Based on the grange economy, they built a "dock fort" with economic and military functions, which was completely self-sufficient economically, and could even "close the door to the market".

Liu Biao asked: "The thieves are too strong, so that the common people are not attached to me. Yuan Shu will use them against me, but I am afraid that a catastrophe will come soon. They controlled the population, and I couldn't recruit soldiers. Do you guys have any good ideas? ”

Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue brothers are said to be the descendants of Kuai Tong, a debater in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty.

Liu Biao asked his eldest brother Kuai Liang first.

However, Kuai Liang was probably stupid in reading, and he didn't have the demeanor of his ancestor to lobby Han Xin to rebel, and actually said: "Those who are not attached to it are not benevolent, and those who are attached to it are not cured, and those who are not cured are not righteous enough." If you take benevolence and righteousness to the extreme, then the people will come to you like water flowing down! What else do you have to be afraid of, and you're still here asking about the method of conscription! ”

So Liu Biao knew what the eldest brother Kuai Liang meant, so he turned his face to see what the second brother Kuai Yue meant. Kuai Yue said: "When the world is peaceful, we must use benevolence and righteousness to govern the world. When the world is in turmoil, we must first use power to calm the world. There are not many soldiers, but soul-winning. Although Yuan Shu was brave, his decision was relatively slow. Su Dai and Bei Yu are both martial artists, so there is no need to worry. The thieves are a group of insatiable and ferocious people, who suffer from the people, I have dealt with them before, as long as they are tempted, they will definitely come, and then the king will kill the unscrupulous people, and appease their subordinates for their own use, you can keep the peace of the party. And the people of Jingzhou also have a yearning for peace, and they will definitely rush to join you when they hear about your Shengde. When the time comes, the soldiers will be gathered, and the people will be attached to them. Then according to Jiangling in the south and Xiangyang in the north, the eight counties of Jingzhou can be passed on. Even if Yuan Shu and the others brought troops over, they couldn't do anything. ”

Liu Biao was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "What Zirou said is Yongji's strategy, and what Yidu said is the strategy of the murderer. ”

Yongji and Jiu were the two important ministers of Duke Wen of Jin. Once Jin Wengong went to fight and asked what to do with these two people. The mortar said that he wanted to use fraud to defeat his opponent, and Yongji said that he could not use fraud, but he should be honest, although he could gain a temporary advantage by fraud, but it was not conducive to long-term peace and stability. As a result, Jin Wengong used the strategy of the mortar to win the battle, but when he returned, he gave the greatest reward to Yongji.

The reason is: the words of Yongji, the benefit of a hundred generations. The words of the uncle are also a matter of the moment. How can there be a person who benefits a hundred generations before the affairs of the moment?

Liu Biao used this allusion, not only to comfort Kuai Liang, but also to use Kuai Yue's strategy, and at the same time to compare himself with Jin Wengong, expressing his ambitions, it can be said that he has won the art of language.

At this time, it was not the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the concept of great unification had been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It's just that although everyone can see that the Han Dynasty eats jujube pills, it's just that the Han family has been in the world for 400 years and is deeply rooted. Everyone talked about overlords like Qi Huan and Jin Wen as a fig leaf.

The so-called eight counties are about Zhangling County, which was separated from Nanyang during the reign of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, and is the hometown of Emperor Guangwu of Zhangling, perhaps because this was set up as a separate county. Historically, after Cao Cao pacified Jingzhou, he separated Xiangyang from the southern county to set up a separate county, which is the origin of the "Jingxiang Nine Counties".

Liu Biao first sent people to lure fifty-five sect marshals to come, and then cut off fifty-five heads, taking over the troops left behind by these people, thus establishing his own armament. Liu Biao also surrendered to the Jiangxia thieves Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng who were entrenched in Xiangyang, and sent Kuai Yue and Pang Ji to "ride alone to say surrender".

As for how the two of them "rode alone to say that they would descend", this, probably because there were few horses in the south, the two of them rode a horse. At this point, the entire Jingbei except Nanyang is already under Liu Biao's control.

Then Liu Biao married Cai Mao's sister as his stepwife and married the Cai family in Xiangyang to marry the wealthy family in Jingzhou. The Cai family was one of the largest wealthy families in Jingzhou at that time, and there was a saying that "Zhu Cai was the most prosperous", and the Cai family was not exclusive, and had a family tradition of marrying with famous people in the Central Plains. Liu Biao was displaced in his early years, his wife died early, and he happened to marry the Cai family.

He also expressed Yuan Shu as Nanyang Taishou to show goodwill, and at the same time sent someone to join the anti-Dong alliance to prevent Yuan Shu and Sun Jian from attacking him under the pretext of begging Dong.
