However, it was said that Liu Bei took his family and Liu Mi, Ban Chao, Zhang Fei and other soldiers and horses from Jiulishan to Jingzhou to seek refuge with Liu Biao. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoJingzhou Thorn Shi Liu Biao is the head of the Han family, and he is the same clan as Liu Bei. A few years ago, Wang Rui, the assassin of Jingzhou, was killed by Sun Jian, the Taishou of Changsha, and Dong Zhuo ordered Liu Biao, the marquis of the northern army, to serve as the assassin of Jingzhou in order to control the southern forces. At that time, the **** in Jingzhou was uneasy, the county guards were in turmoil, thieves were disturbing each other, and the strong clans gathered to protect themselves. Jingzhou is nominally under the Luoyang court, but in reality, it is the family power and the thief leader who share the world. When Liu Biao arrived in Jingzhou, he successively got acquainted with the Nanjun Kuai family and the Xiangyang Cai family. The two forces helped Liu Biao quell the rebellion in Jingzhou. Therefore, several of the Kuai and Cai families became important ministers of Jingzhou's military aircraft. The rest of the family forces in Jingzhou also gained power in the mansion. During this period, there were successively the Huang family and the Zhang family who returned to Liu Biao. In the past few years, the whole territory of Jingzhou has gradually been unified. However, Liu Biao relied too much on the family power, and the family power far exceeded that of the state capital. Liu Biao worked for the family, and continued Cai Zhu, the sister of Cai Mao of the Cai family, as his wife, in order to stabilize the heart of the Cai family. But there has never been a good plan to solve the crisis in Jingzhou.

On that day, Liu Bei and his entourage approached Jingzhou, so they ordered Liu Mi to go to the city to see Liu Biao. Liu Mi saw Liu Biao's intentions. Liu Biao looked around at the family ministers and glared. Liu Biao only pretended not to know, and said that Liu Mi said: "The younger brother of Xuandewu, who is a matter of the imperial court, conquers the north and south, and is an example for my fellow sect." Now Xuande comes to my Jingzhou, I should go out of the city to welcome me. There is no reason not to be wrong. Liu Mi was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "Uncle Huang is poor and has nowhere to stay, and now the prince and the marquis are thinking of the same clan and are willing to take him in, which is a great luck, how dare the prince and the marquis take it away." I should leave the city as soon as possible, tell the emperor's uncle, and come to meet the envoy. After that, say goodbye to Liu Biao and go out of the city. Liu Mi came out, and Cai Mao took the lead in coming out of the class, saying: "Fang Cai, we are waiting for the envoy to take in Liu Bei, but the envoy does not listen, what do you mean?" Liu Biao pretended to be surprised and said: "You are glaring, do you want me to reject Liu Bei?" I don't know. Cai Mao said: "Liu Bei is an ominous person, and in his life, there are defeats and no victories. The former once heard that Liu Bei was broken by Lu Bu, and when he was helpless, he actually fell into the grass in Jiuli Mountain and looted the villagers, so that he became infamous. Now he has come to trouble Jingzhou again, and it is unrighteous to stay behind, so it is better to drive it elsewhere. Liu Biao thought to himself: Liu Bei is my fellow sect, and he raised his arms and shouted, and the princes of the Twenty Roads asked for Dong; If I stay in Jingzhou now, I will definitely be able to help me restrain my family power. So he didn't listen to Cai Mao's words, and said: "Liu Bei is the emperor's relative, and if he refuses, he is afraid that he will be different; Besides, I have sent him into the city, how can I repent? "Everyone is silent, each has their own suspicions, but it is difficult to say.

The next day, Liu Bei went to Xiangyang. Liu Biao set up a banquet to entertain. During the banquet, Liu Biao sighed. Liu Bei hurriedly asked: "Brother sits in the nine counties of Jingzhou, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, why sigh?" Liu Biao said: "Although the foolish brother is the assassin of Jingzhou, but the matter of Jingzhou, the foolish brother has something difficult to do." When all the families heard this, they all changed color. Liu Bei knew that there must be something in it, so he remained silent and listened to Liu Biao. Liu Bei replied: "Jingzhou relies on the strength of your families, although it is peaceful, there is **** in the east to find trouble, and there are mountains in the south to make trouble." The foolish brother is not good at doing nothing, but it is really embarrassing. When everyone heard this, they were slightly relieved. The head of the Kuai family, Kuai Liang did not wait for Liu Bei to answer, and preemptively said: "Today is for Uncle Liu Huang, don't talk about military affairs." After speaking, he raised his glass and invited everyone to drink together. But the matter was revealed.

After the banquet dispersed that day, Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, Liu Mi and others lived in the Xiangyang Post House. Suddenly, Kuai Liang, the head of the Kuai family, a big family in Nanjun, came to see Liu Bei. After a few pleasantries, Kuai Liang gradually revealed his heart. It turned out that the Cai Mao brothers relied on Lian Li's relatives to control the military power of Jingzhou, and the Kuai family was losing day by day. Liu Bei said: "But when I heard that Jingzhou was quelling the rebellion, Nanjun Kuai's family made the first contribution. Today, my brother Jingsheng can't save trouble, and it's really cold to the hearts of heroes in the world. Liu Bei was afraid that there would be more and more deception, so he said: "Or maybe my brother Jingsheng is thinking about the overall situation, so he does things." Mr. Kuai need not worry. "At the moment, Kuai Yue retired. When Liu Mi approached, he said to Liu Bei: "I heard that the brothers of the Kuai family have recently lost a lot at Liu Yuanjun, and they have been oppressed by the Cai brothers everywhere. Recently, Kuai Yue is here, and he must want to join forces with the emperor's uncle. Liu Bei said: "I also think about this." lest there be deception in it, do not dare to speak falsely. This is a matter of our survival, how should we act? Liu Mi said: "I have a plan." However, in order to restrain the family power, Liu Biao set up the daughter of the Cai family as his wife, so that the Cai family brothers could serve loyally. Uncle Huang can follow Liu Biao's example and marry the Kuai family. Liu Bei said: "I don't know if the Kuai family has a daughter of the right age?" Then Ban Chao was ordered to explore the city and countryside. Ban Chao suddenly found out the news that Kuai Yue had a sister who married Han a few years ago, and her husband died early, and she has been widowed for more than three years. When Liu Bei heard the news, he bit his lip and said, "Don't care if you are few or not, you can do it!" Then he ordered Jian Yong to ask for relatives at the Kuai family. A few days later, Xiangyang was overjoyed, Liu Bei got married, and married his wife.

Kuailan, the daughter of the Kuai family, has an ordinary appearance, but she is talented and intelligent. Since marrying Liu Bei, he knows Liu Bei's thoughts. He once heard that there was a virtuous man in Jingzhou who had lived in the countryside for a long time, and his people had the talent of ghosts and gods. Then he spoke to Liu Bei about this person. Liu Bei was thirsty for talent, so he visited his neighbors all over the world, and finally found out that this person had a surname of Zhuge and lived in Nanyang. So Liu Bei went to Nanyang to see Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang was not invited out of the mountain twice in a row. Liu Bei was depressed. Suddenly, Liu Mi offered a plan and said: "Uncle Huang doesn't have to be annoyed. I have a plan, or I can help Uncle Huang talk about Zhuge Liang. Liu Bei said: "What is the plan?" Liu Mi said: "Uncle Huang has a nirvana, which can move the sky and the earth, not to mention an ordinary person!" "Zhang Fei, Jian Yong, Ban Chao and others are all ???。 Liu Bei's heart was as clear as a mirror, and Liu Mi said: "Thank you Mr. for your advice, you will be able to recruit great sages to help in the future!" The next day, Liu Bei went to Wollongong again, met Zhuge Liang, and clarified his intention to recruit talents. Zhuge Liang still politely refused. Liu Bei suddenly burst into tears, tears soaked his clothes, smelling sadness, and listening to melancholy. Zhuge Liang had no choice but to agree. Liu Bei has Zhuge Liang, but he asks the world. Zhuge Liang said: "Today, the number of heroes is stronger, and they are all stronger than the emperor's uncle." Uncle Huang lost the battle with Lu Bu for hegemony, and lost the name of benevolence and righteousness, which can be described as exhaustive! When Liu Bei heard this, he cried again: "Mr. Wang taught me!" Zhuge Liang said: "Liu Biao is old and can't keep it for a long time." The general took advantage of this time to seize the nine counties of Jingxiang, or he could compete with the northern princes! It's just a hindrance to the general's name! Liu Bei said: "The benevolence and righteousness of Bei have long been in disarray, and now what thoughts do you have, but rely on Mr. Strategy!" Zhuge Liang said: "I don't know how many soldiers and horses the emperor has now?" Liu Bei said: "Don't hide it, sir, Bei was defeated by Lu Bu, and the soldiers and horses were lost." Beizhi's second brother Guan Yu also died at the hands of Lu Bu. Only the third brother Zhang Fei brought hundreds of soldiers and horses from Jiuli Mountain, all of which relied on Liu Biao's supplies. Zhuge Liang said: "Relying on other people's snorts to support soldiers and horses, An can achieve great things." You can take a city to settle the soldiers and horses. Liu Bei asked: "The nine counties of Jingzhou are all the land of Liu Biao, what city is desirable?" Zhuge Liang said: "Liang heard that Jiangxia Zhang Wu was in turmoil, and Huang Zu had repeatedly fought unfavorably, and now he has withdrawn his troops. If the imperial uncle can ask for it, he may be able to take the opportunity to borrow Jiangxia Ansheng. Liu Beiranzhi asked Liu Biao for an order to beg the soldiers to recover Jiangxia. Jiangxia Zhang Wu was the pain in Liu Biao's heart, and when he saw that Liu Bei was willing to crusade against him, he agreed. The general Huang Zu did not dare to say much because of the unfavorable crusade. Liu Biao agreed, and Cai Mao and the others were not easy to stop. Liu Biao and Liu Bei had 10,000 soldiers and horses and went to Jiangxia to quell the rebellion. When Liu Bei went to the barracks to order troops, he only received 5,000 veterans. Just because Cai Mao didn't like Liu Bei and others, he wanted to borrow Zhang Wu's hand to get rid of him, and detained Liu Bei's soldiers and horses. Zhang Fei was furious when he learned that he raised his spear and wanted to kill Cai Mao in the camp. Liu Bei hurriedly said: "Cai Mao is an important minister of Jingzhou, and he controls the military of Jingzhou, and he can't make a mistake!" Zhuge Liang also advised: "Victory or defeat lies in the generals, not in the soldiers." Although he is a 5,000-year-old soldier, he has 500 elite soldiers from General Zhang to help, and he is not unable to fight. The crowd had no choice but to give it a go. Suddenly, another army arrived, and everyone looked at it. It is Kuai Liang's younger brother, Kuai Yue led the troops here. Liu Bei asked, "What is the reason why the virtuous brother is here?" Kuai Yue said: "I was ordered by my brother to lead a thousand soldiers to help Uncle Huang beg for thieves!" Everyone was overjoyed and went to Jiangxia together.

Defeat the coalition forces to the outside of Jiangxia City. Zhang Wu had already reported the battle, and led 40,000 thieves to meet the enemy. When the two militaries met, Zhang Fei in Liu Bei's army did not wait for military orders, turned on the stereo, danced his spear, and rushed to the enemy formation. When Zhang Wu saw it, he hurriedly commanded to meet the enemy, and more than 100 thieves rushed out behind him to block Zhang Fei from fighting. Zhang Fei was surrounded in an instant, and his arrogance was immediately extinguished. Liu Bei was shocked, and hurriedly took 5,000 veterans with Ban Chao to rescue Zhang Fei. Kuai Yue ordered a thousand soldiers to cover. A scuffle, resting until the evening, Liu Bei's 5,000 veterans were lost. Liu Bei collected the army and returned to the camp, and Zhuge Liang said: "Although there are many losses today, they can be attributed to Cai Mao." Uncle Huang can repair a letter to Liu Biao, stating that the five thousand veterans are invincible to the thieves. and sent the letter to Mr. Kuai. Mr. Kuai will definitely make Liu Zhijun believe it. Liu Bei then wrote to Liu Biao. Liu Bei watched the book, was extremely displeased, and ordered Cai Mao to send out the soldiers and horses. Cai Mao was helpless, so he ordered the general Wen to lead 5,000 elite soldiers to help Liu Bei fight the thief. Liu Bei got 5,000 elite soldiers, and used Zhuge Liang's strategy to silence the soldiers and horses and hide them in the wilderness of Jiangxia. But he led the rest of the soldiers and horses to attack Jiangxia. Zhang Wu bullied Liu Bei with few soldiers and led the thieves out of the city to meet the enemy. The two militaries were fighting, and Liu Bei turned around and left. Zhang Wu didn't know what the plan was, so he pursued the past, chased for four or five miles, and ambushed all the soldiers. There is Ban Chao on the left, and there is Wen Ping on the right, Zhang Wu was shocked. Liu Bei and Zhang Fei returned to kill again. Zhang Wu was caught off guard and was stabbed to death by Zhang Fei with a spear. Zhang Wu's deputy general, Chen Sheng, led the rest of the people to occupy and retreat. was driven by Liu Beijun to the gate of Jiangxia City, but he didn't have time to enter the city and fled around the city. Liu Bei then seized Jiangxia City.

Liu Bei got Jiangxia, made a list to appease the people, and broadcast benevolence and righteousness. Liu Bei said to Zhuge Liang: "Jiangxia has been pacified, we will return to Xiangyang soon, and the soldiers and horses will return to Liu Biao!" Zhuge Liang said: "The Jiangxia thief Chen Sheng has not been destroyed, and the soldiers and horses can be evacuated!" Liu Bei looked at Zhuge Liang, raised his eyebrows, and said in surprise: "Mr. has a good plan!" Chen Sheng is not extinguished, I ordered Ban Chao and Jian Yong to leave elite soldiers to garrison Jiangxia in case there is a change. "The plan has been decided, Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and others will take the rest of the old and weak to return to Xiangyang to resume their lives. Liu Biao rewarded Liu Bei for Liu Bei's meritorious work in begging for thieves. Liu Bei also made great contributions. After another month, Xinye rebelled against thieves. Liu Bei asked for another order to beg the thief, and he would be defeated in a few days. Yu Nanyang got acquainted with a fierce general, surnamed Wei, named Yan, good at making a big sword, and his martial arts were extraordinary. Liu Bei saw it at first sight, so he bowed to him. Liu Bei is still the eldest brother, Zhang Fei is the third brother, and Wei Yannai is the fourth brother. Subsequently, Jiangling, Nanyang and other places rebelled one after another, and Liu Bei led his troops to quell the rebellion one by one, making great achievements. Liu Bei has won many great achievements, and set up a banquet to celebrate with Zhang Fei, Wei Yan, Zhuge Liang, etc. Suddenly, Liu Biao sent someone to pass on Liu Bei. Zhuge Liang said: "Liu Biao came to call late at night, there will be no good thing, and if the emperor uncle goes, he will be in danger!" You can bring three generals and four generals with you. Liu Beiranzhi went to see Liu Biao with Zhang Fei and Wei Yan.

When the three of them went to Jingzhou's mansion, they saw Liu Biao, the Cai brothers, Huang Zu, Zhang Yun and other important ministers of Jingzhou. Liu Bei must have something in his heart, and it is not easy to ask each other, so he first greets Liu Biao and everyone. Before the ceremony was finished, Cai Mao shouted angrily: "The traitor Liu Bei, spreading rumors and causing trouble, greedy for merit and confusing the master, what face does he have to stand in front of the envoy." Liu Bei shouted that it was not good, and knew that the matter was exposed. It turned out that since the defeat of Jiangxia Zhang Wu in Jingzhou, it has always been safe and sound. It is more than a rebellion, and it is Zhuge Liang who made people spread rumors in order to achieve Liu Bei's great achievement. Today, for some reason, Cai Mao was recognized. Liu Bei's face did not change, and he forced himself to calm down and said: "Bei and Liu Yuanjun are the same clan, for the safety of Jingzhou, they risk the arrows and stones, and dare to set up a mystery." General Cai wronged Liu Bei so much, it really killed my heart. His voice was hoarse, and his eyes filled with tears. Cai Mao said angrily: "I have already investigated in Nanyang, Jiangling and other places, and everything is safe. Liu Bei, what do you have to say! With that, he drew his sword and pointed directly at Liu Bei. Liu Bei turned his eyes to Liu Biao and saw that he was silent, knowing that he must believe Cai Mao's words. Liu Bei had no choice but to launch a big trick. Immediately knelt down in front of Liu Biao, and cried and said: "Beiwei fought hard for the king in all directions, and did not dare to stop." Now that the envoy has believed in the traitor's lies, why not behead Liu Bei as soon as possible, with the heart of General An Cai. "I wept suddenly, and my clothes were wet with tears. Liu Biao was moved by the cry, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Liu Bei. Seeing that Liu Biao was moved, Cai Mao raised his sword and stepped forward, scolding: "Treacherous villain, you can shed tears on Huangquan Road." The sword pointed directly at Liu Bei's chest.

This one is angering a nearby evil star. Liu Bei's third brother Zhang Fei was the most anxious, but when he saw Cai Mao being aggressive, he couldn't bear it anymore. With a shout, he leaned forward, snatched Cai Mao's sword, turned the blade, and slashed at Cai Mao's throat. Cai Mao's blood gushed and she died. Cai Zhong, Cai and the two brothers saw that Zhang Fei had killed their brother and hurriedly stepped forward. was taken away by Zhang Fei and Wei Yan with a knife. Huang Zu and Zhang Yun saw that the situation was not good, and urgently ordered the arrest of Liu Bei and the others. Liu Bei turned around, grabbed Liu Biao in his hand, was protected by Zhang and Wei, and fought and left. Suddenly, he heard that there were soldiers and horses outside the house, and quickly killed the hall. Liu Bei regarded it as Zhuge Liang who led the troops. Zhuge Liang said: "If the king calls the emperor's uncle to come here late at night, there will be disadvantages." I was afraid that Zhang and Wei would be unable to speak, so I gathered all the soldiers and horses outside the city to respond. It is also afraid that the Jun family will be affected, so the wife and the two sons will be strictly protected. Liu Bei saw that the big thing had been decided, and asked Liu Biao sharply: "Beiwei is the envoy to fight in all directions, and he does not dare to stop." What's at fault? Liu Biao said: "This is all Cai Mao's nonsense!" Zhang Fei said angrily: "You are loyal and traitorous, how can you be a prince." Why don't you let my brother do it! Liu Biao suddenly saw Liu Bei's face, the tears were not dry, but with bursts of snickering, he finally woke up, but he was helpless. I can only sigh and say: "I am incompetent and cannot lead the people of the nine counties, and I am willing to give way to my brother Liu Xuande." ”

Three days later, Liu Biao was listed as Emperor of the Han Dynasty of Luoyang and gave way to Liu Bei. Liu Bei did not wait for Luoyang's will and led Jingzhou Mu by himself. Within a few days, Ban Chao occupied Jiangxia, Kuai Yue occupied Nanjun, and Wen Ping occupied Jiangling. The important towns of Jingzhou are all attributed to Liu Bei. At this time, Liu Bei heard that Ma Chao was the king of Shu in Chengdu, and then he was proclaimed king in Jingzhou. Later generations are called King Jing. Liu Bei named Zhuge Liang as a military advisor and rewarded Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang also admonished Pang Tong, Xu Shu and others. Liu Bei reused it. Liu Biaoqi became extremely ill and died soon after. Huang Zu and Zhang Yuner saw that Liu Biao was dead, so they surrendered to Liu Bei.
