Chapter Forty-Nine: To Xiangyang

"Oh? Liu Jingzhou agreed to form an alliance with our army? Liu He's face was full of joy and asked Han Song. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Hehe, with the current situation, how can my father-in-law have any other choice?" Han Song smiled bitterly, and then said: "Don't hide it from the king, although Jingxiang has been pacified now, but thieves are everywhere, and the people are not happy, in order to stabilize the counties of Jingzhou and restore their vitality, it is indeed not appropriate to send a large army to recapture Nanyang, and although the prince forcibly seized Nanyang, the intention is also to please the thief to repay the Son of Heaven, my lord is benevolent, even if he has the strength to take back Nanyang, he can't bear to do this, so that the prince has nowhere to return and disappoints the loyalty of the envoy. ”

It turned out that when Wen Ping returned to Xiangyang and reported what happened in Nanyang to Liu Biao, Liu Biao was immediately furious, and the main battle faction led by Cai Mao shouted that they must immediately send troops to completely wipe out Liu He.

However, the wise Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue and others all shook their heads and expressed strong opposition, because Jingzhou was not peaceful at that time, thieves were everywhere, the economy was withered, and it was full of devastation, and it would only make Jingzhou fall into a more impoverished situation if it started a war rashly under such circumstances. Therefore, it is impossible to occupy Nanyang for a long time, and Nanyang will definitely be returned to Liu Biao in the end.

Therefore, after some consideration, Liu He decided to send Han Song to Nanyang to meet Liu He and explain his sincerity in asking for peace. Of course, this also has the meaning of examining Liu He's ability, if Liu He is not enough to defend Nanyang, then he will not mind killing Liu He secretly, anyway, Youzhou is so far away from Jingzhou, Liu Yu can't do anything to himself even if he knows, not to mention that Liu Yu is now in Youzhou and Gongsun Zhan is very unhappy, and it is difficult to protect himself, and he has no ability to retaliate against him.

"In that case, then I have to thank Liu Jingzhou." Liu He saw that Han Song's intention was exactly the same as Cui Jun expected, and he was very happy in his heart, bowed in the direction of Xiangyang, and said solemnly: "Please rest assured that Han Zhonglang will go to Xiangyang with Han Zhonglang in three days to meet Liu Jingzhou." ”

"Okay, Han will send an entourage to report to my lord, and Han will personally accompany the envoy to Xiangyang." Although he thought that Liu He would definitely go, when Liu He really won the battle, Han Song's heart was still very happy.

"This person's courage is indeed admirable, he really dares to go, alas, my two sons are afraid that they still don't have such courage, the eldest son is better, but the second son is ......"

Thinking of his father-in-law's two sons, especially the youngest son Liu Cong, he shook his head helplessly.

Three days later, early in the morning, Liu He set off from Wancheng on time and went to Xiangyang, before leaving, Liu He entrusted Guo Jia to temporarily act as an agent for Nanyang Taishou and take charge of Nanyang affairs.

Liu He was accompanied by Cui Jun and Chen Zhi in addition to Han Song, as well as three hundred elite Bai Yu soldiers under Chen Zhi, including Pei Yuanshao and Deng Zhan, the two captains and deputy captains of the personal soldiers.

Liu He believed that as long as Chen was there, it would be enough to protect his own safety, and he believed that Liu Biao's trip was more out of a kind of sincerity in the pursuit of peace, rather than to harm him.

These two days are the New Year's Pass, and the New Year is coming soon, although most of the people are not living well, but after all, they have some hope for the coming year, so they are still fully prepared for the New Year, and they have made every effort to make the New Year's goods richer.

Therefore, this road can be said to be full of festive colors, especially when Liu He came to the outside of Xiangyang City, he saw that the faces of the people who came in and out were full of satisfaction, and when he saw those people with red faces, he felt that he had come to a prosperous era. And the faces of the people of Nanyang are all vegetables, compared with it, it is really a world of difference.

At this time, Liu He's heart also admired Liu Biao's ability, since he was appointed as the assassin of Jingzhou for less than three years, he can govern Xiangyang as if it was a paradise, it is really not simple, at the same time, he also secretly decided that he must not live up to the expectations of the people under his rule, even if it can't reach Liu Biao's Xiangyang people, he must try his best to make the people's lives better.

"Liu Jingzhou has only been in Xiangyang for more than two years, right? It is really admirable to be able to heal the wounds of war and have enough food and clothing for the people under his rule. Since he was preparing to form an alliance with Liu Biao, Liu He naturally did not hesitate to praise him.

After Han Song heard this, a faint smile suddenly appeared on his face, and then he said to Liu He: "It's not easy to make the king, hehe, it can be seen that the trust and attachment of the people of Nanyang to the envoy can also be seen by Song, and Song saw in Wancheng, although the people there are not rich, but they are quite peaceful, Song believes that in two or three years, all parts of Nanyang will be operated as desirable as Xiangyang." ”

"Hehe, thanks to Han Zhonglang Jiyan." Liu He secretly lamented in his heart, because he knew that this was actually just the luxury of himself or the people of Nanyang, because this place was in the land of four wars, and it was not suitable for staying for a long time, besides, his foundation was in Youzhou, and he had to go back sooner or later, and if his memory was not bad, the contradiction between his cheap father Liu Yu and Gongsun Chan would soon break out, so he had to rush back to Youzhou before the contradiction broke out, because he knew that with Liu Yu's temperament, it was really difficult to defeat Gongsun Zhan.

Therefore, he is destined not to stay in Nanyang for a long time, and can only be misloved by the people of Nanyang. However, he also secretly decided that even if he really couldn't stay for a long time, he would try his best to find a way to bring some benefits to the people as much as possible.

At this time, Liu He saw from a distance a middle-aged scribe in his fifties leading a lot of people, waiting for something, which he didn't need to think about to know, he must be welcoming his arrival.

Being greeted by the dignified Jingzhou Thorn Shi in person, Liu He also felt that his face was very bright.

However, Liu He didn't see that behind Liu Biao, another middle-aged scribe dressed as a man with a very fierce expression was looking at him hatefully, and at the same time he was still thinking in his heart: "Liu He, this kid, really went to Jingzhou and did all the way with the old man, but this is also an opportunity, which can let me take the opportunity to get rid of this kid, hehe, this is what I promised Meng De at the beginning, naturally I can't break my promise, well, yes, I can do this, and I am not afraid that Liu He will not give the head to this kid when the time comes." ”
