Liu was facing one hundred and fifteen counties in eight counties in one state, and he was surrounded by strong enemies. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

A lonely middle-aged scholar, a thin horse, rode into Yicheng alone, to win the support of the Kuai family and the Cai family, and subdue the land of Yizhou.

Doesn't it feel like a fantasy? Pipe dream?

Even if Zhang Fan did it in person, he might not be able to do it, but Liu Biao did it.

Liu Biao perfectly completed his task of assassinating the history of Jingzhou, entrenched and enticed, so that thousands of miles were cleared, the people were satisfied, with 100,000 troops and 1,000 warships.

Less than a year.

In the interval between the battle between the Kwantung Heroes and Dong Zhuo, Liu Biao silently established himself in Jingzhou, eliminated all the rebel forces, and gathered the scattered Jingzhou together. And he, it took less than a year.

Why can Liu Biao do it?

This is mainly due to two powerful weapons.

The first weapon is prestige. When he was young, he participated in the Tai Student Movement, and was known as one of the "Eight Juns", and was well-known all over the world.

As a member of the Han family, Liu Biao was very attractive to the famous people of various places, and his fame won him the favor of scholars, such as the Kuai brothers.

The second weapon is charm. Liu Biao is eight feet long, with a majestic posture, courteous literary quality, elegant conversation, and full of economy.

He married Cai Mao's sister as his stepfamily and married a local wealthy family. tied himself to the wealthy family.

Immediately, Liu Biao conspired with the Kuai brothers and others and asked:

"The thieves here are very prosperous, and the masses are not attached, so Yuan Shu is in trouble, and the disaster has now come! I want to recruit troops here, but I'm afraid they won't be able to gather, so what are you going to do? ”

Kuai Liang said: "The reason why the masses are not attached is because of the lack of benevolence, and the reason why the masses are dependent and cannot govern is because of the lack of righteousness; If the way of benevolence and righteousness can be done, then the people will return like the downward trend of the water, so why worry about the inroads of those who come and ask for the strategy of raising the army? ”

Kuai Yue said: "Those who govern peace take benevolence and righteousness first, and those who govern chaos take power and strategy first." There are not many soldiers, but they can win their people. Yuan Shu is brave and unbreakable, Su Dai and Bei Yu are all brave martial artists, so there is nothing to worry about. The leader of the thieves is greedy and violent, and his subordinates are worried. ”

"I have some people under my command who are usually cultivated, and if they are sent to show their benefit, the leader of the sect and thieves will definitely come with the crowd. The king will punish those who have no way, and then use them with others. The people of such a state are happy to stay in this state, and when they know that the envoy is virtuous, he will definitely help the old and bring the weak. Then the soldiers gathered and attached, according to Jiangling in the south, Xiangyang in the north, and the eight counties of Jingzhou could be passed on. Although Yuan Shu and the others came, there was nothing they could do. ”

……

This is the advice given to him by two strategists, one is "Yongji's Theory" and the other is "Molar's Strategy", and Liu Biao has done it.

Cure corruption first, and then practice righteousness. Love the people and raise the soldiers, and the picture is stored among the tigers and wolves.

The first step is to appease Haoqiang and recruit the rebels.

Liu Biao first asked Kuai Yue to send people to lure 55 thieves to the banquet, kill them all, and attack their subordinates together. Only the Jiangxia thieves Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng supported the crowd to defend Xiangyang, and Liu Biao sent Kuai Yue and Pang Ji to ride alone to surrender them.

When the county magistrate of Jingzhou heard that Liu Biaowei was famous, most of them took off their seals and fled. At this point, Liu Biao controlled the seven counties of Jingzhou except Nanyang County, and managed the troops in Xiangyang to observe the changes of time. At the same time, the above table also recommended Yuan Shu to be the Taishou of Nanyang, and temporarily showed favor to him.

If it was Sun Ce, after doing this, he would start plotting to go north. If it is Yuan Shu, after doing this, he will start planning to become the emperor.

But Liu Biao was a standard Confucian, and after he did his part in the history of the assassination, he opened a scholar, sought Confucian scholars, and wrote the "Five Classics and Verses".

Extravagance is not arrogant, thrift is not forced. This is the golden mean pursued by Liu Biao.

……

Later, Yuan Shu sent Sun Jian to attack Liu Biao, and Liu Biao sent Jiangxia Taishou Huang Zu to meet in Fancheng and Deng County, and shot Sun Jian to death with a hidden arrow in Da Xian Mountain. From then on, Yuan Shu was no longer able to defeat Liu Biao.

After Sun Jian's death, Liu Biao cut off Yuan Shu's grain route, making it impossible for him to entrench himself in Nanyang, forcing him to flee in the direction of Yanyu, which indirectly contributed to the later battle of Kuangting between Yuan Shu and Cao Cao.

This move not only completely eliminated Yuan Shu's ambition to covet Jingzhou, but also used the power of Cao Cao's army to weaken Yuan Shu's power, making it even more distant from Jingzhou, reducing the threat to Jingzhou, and consolidating his own dominance in Jingzhou.

Liu Biao has a good way of seducing and negotiating, so that the thieves in the territory can also be effective for him. Collect zero and gui in the south, and Hanchuan in the north, sitting on a territory of thousands of miles, with more than 100,000 armored soldiers. In the eight counties of Jingzhou, a relatively safe separatist force was created compared to the Central Plains.

Many of the scholars fled the Central Plains at that time and chose to take refuge in Jingzhou. Liu Biao loved the people and raised the scholars, and they were able to comfort and provide relief, and the scholars were funded and protected.

The eighteen years of Jingzhou under Liu Biao's rule were eighteen years of peace and happiness for the people, prosperity and prosperity for the students, and peace for the people.

This is a miracle of troubled times.

Throughout the Three Kingdoms era, except for Liu Biao, there was no second prince who could do it.

In such a thriving and prosperous Jingzhou, Zhuge Liang, a genius in the world, absorbed nutrients, learned and grown, and eventually became a famous man through the ages.

If he was born fifty years early, in the peaceful world, Liu Biao must be able to serve as a generation of famous ministers, assist the country and the people, and create a prosperous and prosperous world.

If such a person is simply devalued as worthless with a simple sentence of "false appearance", then I am afraid that he does not understand the "virtue of herdsmen......

……

"The Lord ......"

Hou Sanbao's voice pulled Zhang Fan out of his reverie, and Zhang Fan was stunned and said;

"And then you say—"

Hou Sanbao continued to report: "There is one more thing. The hussar general Zhang Ji had no intention of getting involved in the battle between Li and Guo, and fled from Guanzhong to Nanyang, and attacked the city of Nanyang County because of the exhaustion of food, but he was killed by a flying arrow, and his nephew Zhang Xiu then collected his troops and withdrew from the city. ”

"Zhang Xiu?"

Zhang Fan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and smiled.

No way, when Zhang Xiu is mentioned, I can't help but think of Cao Cao, after all, this is the pain of Cao Cao's life!

I don't know what kind of national beauty Mrs. Zou, the widow of Zhang Ji, who made Cao Cao lose his eldest son, beloved nephew, and beloved general, is such a beautiful person?

If you are an ordinary person, this hatred must not be remembered for a lifetime, and you will never die, but is Cao Cao an ordinary person?

In the fourth year of Jian'an, Zhang Xiu surrendered to Cao Cao again. After Zhang Xiu arrived, Cao Cao took Zhang Xiu's hand and attended the banquet together. Not only that, but also married Zhang Xiu's daughter for his son Cao Jun, married his sons and daughters, and named Zhang Xiu as a general of Yangwu.

I have to admit that Cao Apu is indeed a hero, with an extraordinary bearing, and he can afford to put it down.

……

Hou Sanbao continued: "Jingzhou officials congratulated Liu Biao when they found out. Liu Biao said: Zhang Ji came to the end of the road, but I, as the master, was so rude, this was not my intention, so I was only condoled and not congratulated. ”

After that, Liu Biao sent people to lure the rest of Zhang Ji's troops, and all of them were overjoyed when they heard the news, and they all obeyed. Liu Biao then arranged for Zhang Xiu to garrison troops in Wancheng, and Zhang Xiu became Liu Biao's vassal force in the north to defend him against foreign enemies. ”

Zhang Fan bowed slightly, "Yes!" Liu Jingzhou really has a few brushes, this trick is beautiful! In the future, the tea department will pay attention to it and report it at any time. When I sort out Yangzhou, I will immediately send troops to Jingzhou. ”

"No, yes."

Zhang Fan stood on a high place, letting the cold wind caress the tips of his hair, looking down at the thousands of miles of fertile fields, and couldn't help but think of a poem:

There are so many delicate rivers and mountains, leading countless heroes to bend their waists. (To be continued.) )
