Chapter 163: Arrive in Jingzhou and gather military power

Although Liu Zhang did not invite the legendary Fengzhi, he unexpectedly met Cui Zhouping, who was not much inferior. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info but he doesn't know it, and there is no way to do it. A general-type commander who lives far away from the Cypriots, usually only knows how to kill the enemy bravely, how can he know that there is such a person in the south by bending his bow and shooting arrows. What's more, it was more than ten years ago, and it has long been a matter of fact.

However, on the contrary, Cui Zhouping and his entourage couldn't help but sigh in their hearts after being equipped with brand-new armor. This is really more people than people throwing, goods than goods lost. I still remember that more than ten years ago, Liu Bei's army was known as the strongest and most elite, and the equipment was the best in the whole army, and it was no worse than the enemy. And now with this black iron armor, it must be like heaven and earth. Even some soldiers were holding the armor treasure in their hands, and they even woke up with a smile when they slept. Moreover, the benefits in the army allow them to enjoy unprecedented treatment, high military expenses, and rich food, which are better than ordinary people's meals during the New Year.

Cui Zhouping watched all this silently, and couldn't help but chant to the sky: "Lord, we lost unjustly back then. ”

A few days later, Liu Zhang and others entered Jingzhou. There are reception staff sent by Liu Cong along the road, and everyone enjoys the scenery all the way and observes the people's feelings. For Liu Cong, the master, Liu Zhang looked down on him a little, relying on his mother's power to ascend to the throne. Liu Zhang is very skeptical that this person can take power in Jingzhou, if it is hollowed out, then he is not polite to rectify the social atmosphere here.

However, what he saw and heard after coming to Jingzhou surprised him very much. Thinking about it, I can't help but feel that if the big man is not in chaos, the most prosperous estimate is like this! Moreover, the people of Jingzhou have great respect for Liu Cong, the lord of Jingzhou, and the old man's words are benevolent lords. It also made Liu Zhang a little curious, what kind of benevolent lord he was. But now it seems that Liu Cong is not as cowardly as the legend, and the two generations of father and son can be invincible in this troubled world and protect the people, which is also a great ability.

Before he arrived in Xiangyang, Liu Cong was already waiting in Shili Pavilion.

Liu Zhang took the lead, and saw a handsome young man from a distance, wearing a purple gold flying cloud crown, wearing a purple plain cloud robe, and a height of 1.8 meters.

"In front of me, Brother Ji Yu is seated, I am Liu Cong of Jingzhou, and I am waiting here today." Liu Cong stood in front of the Shili Pavilion, neither humble nor arrogant, and said with a smile.

"It turns out that you are Brother Liu Cong, and my brother and I are a rough person, and we don't pay attention to any secular etiquette. You and I are of the same clan, and I am a brother to you. "Liu Zhang, this is something in his words, and the meaning is very clear, that is, I have a good relationship with your brother, so I take care of you.

Liu Cong was also a little embarrassed when these words came out, everyone is from a family, and the obedient ability in these words is naturally not weak. However, Liu Cong didn't want to show weakness to others, so he also replied: "My brother has not been in contact with me for many years, but it makes my brother laugh." “

The meaning of this is also very clear, me and my brother, he is him, I am me. Everyone hands over their own. These words made Liu Zhang a little impressed again and again, and laughed and said: "Okay, I hit it off with my virtuous brother at first sight, so let's find a place to talk about it first." “

"Yes, yes, yes. The younger brother did not think about it, the younger brother and his entourage were tired, and the younger brother had prepared food and tea in this ten-mile pavilion, so that the soldiers could also rest. Tonight, I set up a banquet in Xiangyang City to catch the wind and wash the dust for the world brother, and also invited the world brother to appreciate his face. Liu Cong said with a smile. The meaning is also very clear, that is, I want Liu Zhang's personal soldiers not to enter the city, so they are stationed outside the city.

Liu Zhang also said that he could understand, so he readily agreed.

After arranging the camp where his soldiers were stationed, Cui Zhouping recommended himself and said that he had lived in Jingzhou for more than ten years and wanted to go into the city with Liu Zhang, so he could be a guide. Liu Zhang thought about it and agreed, and asked him to take Cui Yin, who was accepted as his goddaughter, to visit Xiangyang City to see the world.

Xiangyang has been prosperous since ancient times and is an important commercial hub along the Yangtze River. Strategy is also very important, and it can be said that it has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times. That is to say, as long as Jingzhou is taken, almost half of Jingzhou is taken, and Cui Zhouping introduced Liu Xuewu to Liu Xuewu along the way.

However, the team soon arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, which made the eye-opening Liu Zhang have some aftertaste. However, the coming day is long, and there will be time to visit this Xiangyang City in the future. Now the most urgent issue is the issue of military power, you must know that Liu Zhang must transfer troops if he wants to attack Jiangdong, and Jingzhou, as the forefront of the battlefield, has to start here. But the situation is a matter of Liu Cong's own attitude, on the surface, Liu Cong surrendered to Liu Xuewu, but in fact, the military power and power are still in his hands. Now he, Liu Zhang, suddenly came to collect the military power, and this must pass Liu Cong's pass first no matter what. And you can't force Liu Cong to be in a hurry, otherwise once the army mutinies, it will be a prince who will break away again. Although Liu Zhang is a military general and not a minister, the benefits and disadvantages can be clearly shared.

Liu Zhang, who was about to open his mouth to ask for military power at Liu Cong's banquet, looked at the enthusiastic Liu Cong and felt a little headache.

But just when the wine had passed three rounds, it was Liu Cong who spoke: "The purpose of the world brother's coming, the younger brother also has a little expectation in his heart." ”

Then looking at Liu Zhang's somewhat stunned expression, he couldn't help but smile and clapped his hands. From behind the screen, two men dressed as generals walked out, fortunately they were only wearing armor and carrying no blades. This made Liu Zhang's originally nervous heart relax, but Liu Cong pointed to the two generals who came out and continued to Liu Zhang: "I am sincere to surrender, brother don't worry." Is the world brother curious, why can my weak son be able to carry this Jingzhou family business, the south is far from Jiangdong, and the west is better than my brother in Yangzhou? It's not a secret, but it depends on the two generals in front of you. Wenpin, Huang Zhong has not come to meet the marshal yet. ”

"Wenpin, Huang Eel meets the marshal." I saw the two of them kneeling on one knee in unison, and they marched an ancient military force.

When Liu Zhang heard this, he hurriedly helped the two of them up and shouted: "The general is talented, and the hard work is high, I deserve it." ”

Then he looked at Liu Cong with a brick, but saw Liu Cong laughing and said: "Since the world brother has arrived, you and the two of you will assist the world brother to take Jiangdong as soon as possible, so that the Han Dynasty will be unified as soon as possible." ”

"Yes, my lord." Wen Ping and Huang Eel said in unison.

He said to Liu Zhang: "Brother Shi, brother, I think about it enough!" This is to hand over more than 100,000 troops in Jingzhou to you, and I hope you succeed as soon as possible. (To be continued.) )
