Chapter 88: Entering Jiangxia
"This ...... Lord Zhoumu's move is a bit too high-minded, right? Liu Yong came from a humble background, did not learn and had no skills, and it was not a problem to deal with some mountain bandits, but Zhang Xian had occupied the three counties for many years and was deeply rooted, how could he be easily exterminated. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info If a person like General Wenpin is so good at fighting, he can't be easily exterminated, and Liu Yong is afraid that it will be difficult to do it. Liu Yong said loudly with a bitter face.
Liu Biao tightened the big jacket wrapped around his body and said: "The general doesn't have to be modest, how the people under the general's rule are, this government has also heard of it, and the strength is not bad, and it is much better than the wall under Wen Ping." It is difficult to do it, but the government believes that if General Liu goes on an expedition, he will definitely be captured.
In addition, General Liu is in a military position, so he naturally wants to fight rebellion everywhere for the sake of local stability, does the general want to fight against the king's order? ”
Liu Yong immediately knelt down and said, "Liu Yong doesn't dare!" What Liu Yong just said is also true, please think twice. It is said that Sergeant Xinye has not fought much now, the lack of weapons and armor is serious, and the siege equipment is few and few, if he goes into battle to fight, he is afraid that he will not be able to take Zhang Xian even if he is afraid of heavy casualties. ”
What Liu Yong said is also a normal situation, since Liu Yong arrived in Xinye, Liu Biao has given a total of less than 8,000 armor and 10,000 weapons, which have been stored in the warehouse for an unknown amount of time, and they can not be used much, and now the equipment is solved by Liu Yong himself.
As for the siege equipment, Liu Biao naturally never gave it.
Liu Biao was speechless for a while, he was indeed worried about Liu Yong's growth and was unwilling to send weapons. Being proposed by Liu Yong at this time is equivalent to a slap in the face in public, which is really embarrassing.
But what kind of person is Liu Biao, he has been in the officialdom for decades, everything is measured by interests, what is face, and Liu Biao's face is as usual after two breaths.
"Liu Yong, this matter is indeed to blame on the government, there are too many affairs on weekdays, and I am negligent. What do you think of the 30,000 armor I have gathered for you, 30,000 weapons, 500 siege weapons, 5,000 bows, and 100,000 arrows? Liu Biao also knew that Liu Yong was bargaining, but this time he wanted to eradicate this scourge, and it would not work without some blood, so he was simply ruthless and generous.
"Thank you, sir. But now there are a total of 30,000 horses in Xinye, if they are all taken away, I am afraid that Xinye will be worried, and the adults will need to recruit at least 10,000 new soldiers, and Xinye's defense will have to be taken care of. Liu Yong spoke again.
Liu Biao and the Kuai family both twitched, and it would take 10,000 people.
If Liu Yong dies in the end, it will be fine, Xinye is still his Liu Biao, but if he does not die, these 10,000 people will undoubtedly fund Liu Yong in vain, which will increase his strength.
For the existing people, he really can't transfer them, only the new army.
Forget it, the new army needs to be trained to go to the battlefield, at least a year, there are not a few battles, recruits are recruits, Liu Yong wants to rely on this 10,000 horses to increase his strength in the near future or wishful thinking.
Thinking of this, Liu Biao felt a lot more relieved.
"Okay, this house agreed. Three days later, the materials were mobilized and sent to Jiangxia, and 10,000 new troops were sent to Xinye, and the general settled in Xinye, and then he could go to Jiangxia to take up his post. Liu Biao finally decided.
At this moment, the sweat on his head was already flowing down, his face was red, and he scolded Liu Yong in his heart.
On the second day, the Jingzhou Pastoral Mansion held an early meeting.
"Worship Liu Yong as a partial general, lead 30,000 men and horses of the headquarters to enter Jiangxia, defend Jiangdong, and raise troops to recruit the traitor Zhang Xian after a month."
A group of civil and military officers played a long-term play with each other, and finally Liu Biao decided and issued a notice.
Liu Yong was promoted, and everyone was happy, so naturally they had to celebrate. Liu Yong asked someone to say hello to the Drunken Immortal Building, and set up a big banquet in the Drunken Immortal Building in the evening to entertain the gentry from all parties.
Liu Yong was promoted to an official and held a banquet in his own restaurant, Gao Zhuo (if you don't know, please see Chapter 61) naturally became more and more dedicated, and he must behave in front of Liu Yong.
Liu Yong naturally saw it in his eyes, and praised a few words in private, which made Gao Zhuo happy and sleepless.
Liu Yong has one more thing to do when he comes to Xiangyang this time, and that is to visit the Ma family.
Liu Yong, the five brothers of the Ma family, was determined to win, but Pang Tongyi visited him twice, but Ma Liang still did not give a final reply. Liu Yong understands that the Ma family is in Xiangyang, in case Liu Yong openly confronts Liu Biao, they will also be against Liu Biao, and Liu Yong's future plans are not determined, and they are indeed unwilling to take Liu Yong's train easily.
Everything has to be cost-effective, whether it is worth it or not, they must weigh this account well.
Liu Yong knew that Daxian had some arrogance and concerns, and he had to go there in person this time.
Pang Tong naturally came to the Huangfu to wait and go together.
When Ma Liang saw Liu Yong's visit in person, he naturally understood that he had to show his attitude today, and he couldn't repeat it again and again, otherwise it would be a slap in the face.
"General Liu is here, Mafu is shining, and Liangzhen is flattered." Ma Liang was very enthusiastic when he met, which made Liu Yong's first image good.
"Liu Yong should have visited as soon as possible, but Xinye has a lot of affairs, and it is indeed difficult to get Xiangyang once. This time, I took the opportunity to come to visit and hope that Mr. would forgive me. "People respect me for a foot, I respect people for a foot, this is Liu Yong's standard of life. Ma Liang was polite to him, and he was naturally kind to him.
Several people entered the mansion and introduced Xu Shu Guanping to Ma Liang, and Ma Liang also introduced the old five Ma Jian and Liu Yong who were still in the mansion to know each other.
Liu Yong looked at Ma Liang carefully, and sure enough, there was a small pinch of white in his eyebrows. The history books record: "Ma's five constants, white eyebrows are the best." "It's not bad.
Ma Jian is even more talented, rumored to be famous when he was young, able to speak well, Liu Yong talked with him a few words, and was sure that the historical record of the Ma brothers was correct.
"General Liu's official position was promoted to another level yesterday, congratulations, the old man wanted to go in person, but he never liked many people, and he was troubled by dealing with those officialdom, so he only sent people to go, and the general forgave me."
"It's okay, Liu Yong naturally knows this. Isn't this going to the door today to ask for a while with Mr. They both laughed.
"The old man also understands when the general comes, but there is still one thing that is difficult to decide, and I ask the general to solve his doubts." Ma Liang changed his previous relaxed joke and immediately became serious.
At the same time, with a wave of his hand, he cleared his subordinates. Seeing this, Liu Yong also asked Guan Ping and Kou Feng to wait outside the door, and there were only Liu Yong, Pang Tong, Ma Liang, and Ma Jian left in the hall.
"Sir, please say, Liu Yong must know everything and say everything." Liu Yong saw that Ma Liang was serious, so he naturally didn't want to laugh anymore.
"What is the general's plan for the future?" Ma Liang asked.
Liu Yong's eyes flashed, knowing that if he didn't tell the truth today, Ma Liang would not agree to go with him.
So he said: "Jingzhou is a little small, but it is really good as a springboard." ”
Liu Yong answered the question, but the four people present were all shrewd people, so they naturally knew what he meant.
"Does the general think Liu Biao will watch the general swallow Jingzhou?" Ma Liang asked again.
Liu Yong smiled faintly and said: "Liu Biaoli's illness is very serious, and Mrs. Cai is favored, but it is contrary to common sense to abolish the elders and establish the young, and it will inevitably divide people's hearts over time." There are many big clans in Jingzhou, Liu Biao has a foothold in the big clans, and the control is loose, if he dies, Jingzhou will be destroyed in an instant. His body, not a few years away. The Ma family has been in Jingzhou for many years, so self-protection should be fine, right? ”
Ma Liang smiled and didn't say much, obviously not worried.
"The general's second step is Nishikawa?" Ma Jian suddenly interjected.
What you say is very true, and Liu Yong means exactly that. At that time, I will have a great momentum and no one can stop me. Liu Yong said a word, his voice was not loud, but the momentum of the whole person suddenly rose, which surprised the Ma Liang brothers, and it was the first time that they had seen people who had plans to establish a great cause.
Thinking of Liu Yong's achievements in the past six months, the two brothers glanced at each other, and immediately got up and bowed: "Ma Liang (谡) to meet the lord!" ”
"Okay, I'm going to Jiangxia, there is no military Sima in the army, is Mr. willing to bend down?" Liu Yong immediately threw out a tempting military position.
You know, this position is in charge of the money and food in the army, and it is a fat poor, and I don't know how many people want it.
"As long as the lord is not afraid of the old man breaking the army, it is natural to be good." Ma Liang said with a smile.
Laughter erupted in the lobby.
