Chapter 66, Southern Shuangliu Wangluo Yang (II)

(These two chapters may have a lot of introductory text, but these two will have a lot of appearances in the future, and there are also some things involved in it, which can be regarded as digging pits, saying that these are just to give you a foundation, I am definitely not in the water, not in the water~)

Jingzhou, Nanjun, Xiangyang Prefecture Pastoral Mansion, here is where Liu Biao, the Great Han Sect, is located in the same vein as Yizhou Mu Liu Yan.

Liu Biao is more than eight feet long, with a gentle and majestic appearance, although he is already the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, but he has not lost much of his demeanor back then, of course, his personality is also the same, some indecisive, compared with Liu Yan in Yizhou, he inevitably looks like a mother-in-law.

Speaking of Liu Biao, the state pastor has to thank the deceased Sun Jian, the first year of the first year of the first peace of the world princes alliance to discuss Dong, when the Changsha Taishou Sun Jian, as one of the princes of the world, when passing through Xiangyang, considering that Dong Zhuo is powerful, if this trip can accumulate more people and horses, it will be greater, so he visited Wang Rong, who was the assassin of Jingzhou at the time, hoping that he could jointly send troops to fight against Dong.

Wang Rong was content to defend the city, and did not want to send troops, and because of discord with Cao Yin, the Taishou of Wuling, he said to Sun Jian that if he could kill Cao Yin, he would send troops, so that Sun Jian was really suppressed, and the idea of not being with him rose in his heart, and he was ready to take a detour.

This matter has changed so far, that Wuling Taishou is not a broad-minded person, I heard that Wang Jian actually has such vicious intentions, how can he care if he is just to prevaricate Sun Jian, and worried that Sun Jian will really kill himself in order to make Wang Heng send troops, he has no confidence to resist Changsha Taishou in the name of good war, especially at this time Sun Jian as a prince of the Dong Alliance, and also occupies the name of righteousness. It was also detrimental to his reputation to be with him, so he thought of bringing disaster to the east and bringing it back to Wang Ei himself, so he secretly forged a document of "the person who carried out the case", which listed Wang Ei's crimes, and deliberately let Sun Jian know, which caused him to be jealous and hateful; On the other hand, they arranged for the so-called people who were oppressed by Wang Rong to find Sun Jian and complain bitterly about Wang Ei's cruelty.

Sun Jian is known as the "Jiangdong Tiger". Jealousy is like hatred, and it is as fierce as fire. At this time, where could he bear it, so he led his troops back to Xiangyang, but after sobering up on the way and being persuaded by Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and others, he changed his original decision to kill and not spare Wang Rong to capture Wang Rong alive. But Wang Rong didn't know. Although he is a thorn in Jingzhou. has the right to dispatch troops, but in fact, the real power of Jingxiang at this time is completely in the hands of those families, and Wang Rong has always been unfriendly with them. Sun Jian is menacing, even if Wang Ei transfers troops, he may not be too late, as a conservative character Wang Ei is also a pessimist, seeing that he is desperate, he simply begged an An Sheng to swallow gold and commit suicide directly.

However, it is also because of this, in the eyes of outsiders, Wang Rong is more like committing suicide in fear of crime, and at this time, Dong Zhuo, who was opposed by the princes of the world, wanted to recruit the new governor of Jingzhou in the name of the imperial court under the construction of Li Ru.

Dong Zhuo valued Liu Biao's clan background and his prestige among the scholars, so as to show favor to him, and these advantages also provided favorable innate conditions for Liu Biao to control Jingzhou in the future.

However, at that time, the only way to Jingzhou was blocked, and Liu Biao finally had to disguise himself as a low-key crossing, and after entering Nanjun, he got in touch with the local families Kuai and Cai, and with their help, he slowly established a foothold in Jingzhou, so that there was today's situation of Muye and the establishment of princes.

Originally, when the second alliance of princes discussed Dong before, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others also sent people to invite Liu Biao, but unfortunately at this time, the weakness of Liu Biao's indecisive character was revealed, and he couldn't make a decision at all, unlike Cai Yong's gratitude for Dong Zhuo's value and gratitude at that time, Liu Biao was completely from his own point of view, after all, his name as a state pastor came from Dong Zhuo, if he wanted to deal with Dong Zhuo in turn, even if this occupied the name of righteousness, would it also attract criticism from everyone in Shilin, thus ruining his reputation? Coupled with the opposition of the Cai family and the Kuai family, who supported Liu Biao's ascension to the position of Jingzhou Mu, Liu Biao still did not take action in the end, and he regretted it afterwards that he did not seize such an opportunity to make a name for himself.

Now Liu Biao, who knows the age of the Mandate of Heaven, has no strong thoughts of power, and he has no ambition to recreate a great cause, and has become an honest and responsible "dog", not to mention that his own affairs have not yet been clarified, especially the issue of the heir who has been slowly put on the table.

Originally, Liu Biao didn't need to think about this aspect at all, after all, he only had Liu Qi's son before, and he was the eldest son, born to Liu Biao's Yuan with Chen, and he was gentle and gentle, as the heir, there was no problem, and if there was a problem, there was a problem on the maternal side.

The Chen family is not a broken family with no background, otherwise he would not be able to become the wife of the Han clan, and because of this, Mrs. Cai, who married with the Cai family, because she is a latecomer, even if the family power is in Jingzhou, she can only be condescended to be a concubine, but Liu Biao obviously likes the young and beautiful Cai family, but unfortunately the two have not given birth for a few years after marriage, which makes Cai Mao, who has always wanted her sister to sit on the position of Mrs. Zhou Mu, also has nothing to say.

But people can't get rid of birth, old age, sickness and death, Chen and Liu Biao can also be regarded as Qin Se and Ming, each other, never thought that there would be such a day for being abandoned like abandonment, resentment into illness, actually went early (nine years earlier than the original history), at this time Cai's position is also reasonable, after all, Cai Mao in the process of Liu Biao's entry into Jingzhou can be said to have contributed a lot.

It's a pity that Chen is called virtuous and virtuous, and there is his eldest son Liu Qi, Liu Biao has to think about the overall situation, according to his indecisive character that has become more indecisive after getting older, I don't know how long it will take to really make a decision, but Cai's obviously can't wait, so it happened that at this time Liu Biao's youngest son Liu Cong was born (Liu Cong's birth is unknown, but it shouldn't be too early) and Cai's also took the opportunity to take over Liu Cong, who lost his mother due to dystocia. Then Liu Congren, who had Cai's huge backer, was still in infancy, and he was already involuntarily involved in the dispute between the sons of the world.

In order to tie Liu Cong firmly to his chariot, the Cai family also took the initiative to order Liu Cong to marry one of his nieces. Of course, it's just a baby kiss, after all, both parties are still just babies, and when this qiē is done, Cai, who finally broke Liu Biao's last doubts with Liu Cong's son and became Liu Biao's wife, began to involuntarily plan for the future of himself and his child.

Although Liu Cong is not her parent, after all, she was raised by her shortly after birth, and after getting along for a while, she also has some feelings, and because she has no children, she can feel her motherhood in Liu Cong. This made her have more wonderful feelings for Liu Cong. And whether it is for Liu Cong's future, or for herself and Cai's future, she must help Liu Cong seize the inheritance of her son.

So from then on, she began her "stunt" that could affect Liu Biao the most, blowing the wind on the pillow. always plays with the rights and wrongs of Liu Qi in front of Liu Surface. Liu Biao will listen to some at first. And it is true that he has a lot of bad feelings about Liu Qi because of this, but as time goes by, he gradually gets a little tired of it. After all, Liu Qi is also his own son, even if he is more fond of Liu Cong now for various reasons, he also has his own feelings for Liu Qi, not to mention that Chen's death also made him feel more guilty about Liu Qi, licking the calf deeply, but he began to be dissatisfied with Cai's who was telling right and wrong.

It's a pity that it can only be dissatisfied, Liu Biaoqing will not come out, after all, he has now lost his original ambition, even if he knows that the Cai family and the Kuai family, the big families of Jingzhou, are helping him to become the state pastor, and then take the opportunity to consolidate his power, and now it has gradually become a big trend, he is powerless and does not want to do anything anymore, he just hopes to spend his next days in peace and security.

In the end, Liu Biao can only act as a conciliator, while appeasing Cai's family, he also transferred Liu Qi farther away, and directly transferred him out of Xiangyang, so as not to let him live here in vain, but he didn't know that this was just like Cai's heart, her idea was also very simple, Liu Qi was not around, only Liu Cong was with him, which could bring Liu Biao the joy of family, as time went by, the feelings over there were thin, but the feelings here would become deeper and deeper, and in the end they would definitely favor Liu Cong, plus the family behind the scenes, Liu Cong's heir status would be stable, just waiting for Liu Biao to return to heaven.

However, Liu Biao is not completely confused in the end, and he also arranged a lot of teams for Liu Qi, for example, he was from Shanyang, Yanzhou, and was arranged by Liu Biao to go to Wuling County, which Liu Qi took over, and Huo Du (Huo Jun's brother), a native of Zhijiang in Nanjun, was also arranged to be a general under Liu Qi.

As for what Liu Qi will develop into in the future, Liu Biao can't even guarantee how long he will live, so how can he think about these again, but he doesn't want these arrangements to fall into Cai's ears, which has caused her dissatisfaction, after all, she is from a big family, how can she not know how important these are to Liu Qi, Liu Cong is still young after all, even if they Cai helped pave the way, it is still not as convincing as Liu Qi as the eldest son, after all, one has been formed and can be seen to be good or bad, and the other is still unknown. It's easy to see who to choose.

Liu Biao also felt helpless about this, and promised that when Cai waited until Liu Cong reached a certain age, he would definitely invite him the best civil and military enlightenment master, which was actually equivalent to taking the initiative to cultivate contacts for him, and Cai was satisfied, otherwise I am afraid that Liu Biao would have to sleep alone at night for a while.

I just finished dealing with this worrying family matter here, and Liu Biao didn't have time to rest, but he heard Xiangyang order Fu Xun to report, and Ma Chao's envoy asked to see him again, please see it or not?

This Fu Xun is a native of Niyang, the north of Yongzhou, after Fu Jiezi, the Marquis of Yiyang, his appearance is magnificent, knowledgeable, is a very much in line with Liu Biao's subordinate, so soon after he came to Jingzhou to become Liu Biao's guest, he was entrusted by Liu Biao to reuse Ren as the Xiangyang Order, and was in charge of the peace of the state's governing office.

Although this Fu Xun did not live up to Liu Biao's high expectations, he quickly settled down in office, but he did not give him too many surprises, he can only be said to be a mediocre minister, but although he is not good at governing places, Fu Xun is well-read, and can know people well, this is an important reason why he can sit firmly in Jingzhou without any foundation, Liu Biao will naturally not replace him lightly, but he often calls him to his side, anyway, the distance is not far, And Fu Xun is naturally an excellent communication partner for the good and elegant Liu Biao.

It is also for this reason that when Ma Chao's envoy came to ask for a meeting before, because Liu Biao was worried about dealing with family affairs, he had no time to take care of it, anyway, he had no friendship with Ma Chao, so he let Fu Xun hang over there first, Liu Biao's trivial things are also Fu Xun's good at, he will not let himself down, I don't think that Ma Chao's envoy has wanted to see many times since then, and once even bypassed Fu Xun altogether, which made Liu Biao already a little dissatisfied with Fu Xun, and the things entrusted to him were not done satisfactorily, what is the use of such a person?

However, at this time, Liu Biao could not have an immediate showdown, but frowned and said: "That Ma Chao envoy, in fact, even if there are no such troubles, I don't want to see it, what kind of character is that Ma Chao, and I have no friendship with him and the Ma family, not to mention that now he is targeting Luoyang, do I still want to help the abuse?" Zi Yi just found a reason to send him away before, why did he stay until now? ”

Hearing the dissatisfaction in Liu Biao's tone, Fu Xun just smiled bitterly and said, "Don't hide it from the state pastor, it's not that Xun doesn't want to do this, but it really can't." The man said that he came by secret order of the Son of Heaven, and there are also the tokens of Fu Guozhang and Dong Guozhang today......"

"What?" Liu Biao was also taken aback, he subconsciously wanted to blame Fu Xun, why did he not report such a serious matter to himself in advance, but he didn't blame Fu Xun for thinking about it, not to mention that he often didn't see anyone during the previous period, Fu Xun had to see people if he wanted to report, how to report if he didn't see people? What's more, this matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface, first of all, how did the Son of Heaven and Guozhang get involved with Ma Chao's side, after all, at the beginning, he only said that he was Ma Chao's envoy, and Liu Biao didn't go to see him, thinking that he couldn't see himself after that, so he successively reported those things to the Son of Heaven's secret order, but at that time, Fu Xun couldn't see him anymore, and he had no way of knowing.

Of course, the most critical point is that even if he knows now, Liu Biao must pretend not to know first, and he must have more time to prepare and carefully refer to the details.

Now look at Fu Xun, Liu Biao is not satisfied, he can come to inform him as soon as he is open to see people, and several times the messenger may want to come to see himself first to report his name, and then he was dissuaded by Fu Xun to go back, presumably secretly he also needs to be appeased, now this is just the embodiment of his ability, once he thinks of this, Liu Biao is how to see Fu Xun how pleasing to the eye, and he feels that he really deserves to be the person he likes.

And then Fu Xun's words made Liu Biao even more surprised, and he only listened to him: "Xun knew that he should be able to see the state pastor today, so he agreed with him yesterday that the news would arrive within five days, and he would return to inform him as soon as possible, and then ask him to see the state pastor, and he also agreed." ”

Liu Biao smiled and said, "Zi Yi, okay, Zi Yi ......" then retracted his expression, pondered, after all, given time, it was just a delaying tactic, in the end there was still a decision to be made, if it was just Ma Chao, Liu Biao would really ignore it, but the Son of Heaven and the Guozhang, this weight is much heavier, especially if you refuse to even see each other, then what will the people of the world think of themselves? At this age, Liu Biao doesn't care much about things, and this reputation is the most important one.

I just want to know that it won't be a good thing, after all, with Liu Biao's sophistication, how can I not see who is the real master of the house in Luoyang, and now the problem is that I must first be prepared to deal with it, and I must first understand some basic situations.

Just as he was about to ask Fu Xunyang how the shape was, another report came from outside: "The envoy of Yizhou asks to see ......" (to be continued......
