"General Guan, now that Cai Mao has been captured, I don't know where the general wants to go?" Guan Yu, Zhuge Liang and others, who were discussing the aftermath in the big tent, were caught off guard by Liu Pan's words that had just come in.

This is an a**naked underground eviction order! Zhao Feng sighed in his heart. Guan Yu was immediately very upset when he heard this, but he tried his best to restrain his emotions and just snorted. Seeing this, Zhuge Liang hurriedly said: "Since this matter has been understood, Junhou, we should also return to Yuzhou." At present, there is only Xu Wenxiang here in Yuzhou, and it will be a bad thing if Cao Ying comes to make a mistake! ”

"What Kong Ming said is not bad." Guan Yu glanced at Liu Pandao, Zhao Feng didn't have a good impression of this kind of person who crossed the river and demolished the bridge, and after Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang agreed, it was decided that Li Tong would be stationed in Wancheng, and told Li Tong that he would personally show Liu Bei that Li Tong was the Taishou of Wancheng and acted as the first line of defense against Cao Ying.

During the Three Kingdoms period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, most of the Taishou officials were the governors of a county. However, there are occasional exceptions, that is, some important cities also set up special posts for Taishou, such as Jianmen Pass, Yanmen Pass, these passes. Wancheng is connected to the land of Yongsi, only more than 100 miles away from Luoyang, which is one of the most important passes under Liu Bei's rule, and it is also necessary to set up Taishou.

"General Guan, Wancheng is under the rule of Nanyang, and the establishment of the Taishou still requires the permission of the state pastor, so General Guan will not bother." Liu Pan on the side said again when he heard this. Guan Yu was really unhappy at this time, and was about to have a seizure, but he saw the curtain of the big tent opened, and a person walked in, but it was the son Liu Qi.

"Liu Gongzi?" The arrival of this man was not expected by anyone. "General Guan, General Zhao, Mr. Kong Ming, my father has heard that Nanjun has been pacified, and I have specially ordered you to come and invite you to Jiangxia to discuss something." Liu Qi said respectfully.

"What?" Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang were both a little confused, Liu Qi smiled and said: "My father didn't say it explicitly, and Qi didn't ask more." However, my father had already sent someone to Shouchun to invite Uncle Liu Huang to come with him to discuss important matters. ”

Even Liu Bei was invited, so exciting? Guan Yu and the other three also looked at each other, seeing that Liu Qi was so polite, Guan Yu was also difficult to refuse, so he had to accept it first. At the moment, let Li Tong guard Wancheng, Li Yan guard Fancheng, Zhang Liao and Wen Ping led the people of Yuzhou to Yuzhou, and he and Zhao Feng and Zhuge Liang followed the Yangzhou army from Nanjun to Jiangxia, and Liu Qi also accompanied the army. As soon as Liu Pan waited for them to leave, he immediately arranged for his cronies and generals to be stationed in Jiangling and Xiangyang.

In Shouchun City, Liu Bei also sighed and was silent for a long time after reading Guan Yu's military report. At this time, someone sent a letter, saying that Liu Biao invited Liu Bei to Jiangxia to talk about it, and thanked him in person for sending troops to help him quell the rebellion. After Liu Bei and Lu Su and others discussed, they all felt that Liu Biao's move should have no malicious intent, but just in case, he still let Chen Zhi lead Bai Er's elite soldiers to follow, and at the same time let Gao Ran lead the army Chen Bing to the Runan border to make sure that everything is perfect.

"Xuande Gong!"

"Brother Jingsheng!"

A few days later, the two heavyweights of the Han clan met in Jiangxia, along with Guan Yu and Zhao Feng who came from Jiangling. After the meeting, the two sides sat down, and Liu Biao, as the host, first spoke: "Liu Biao is ashamed, he is incompetent in governing the family, his subordinates have rebelled, and the family is even more troubled, and he is really ashamed." This time, I am fortunate to have the help of my virtuous brothers, so I am rebellious, and Liu Biao is really grateful! ”

"Brother Jingsheng said something, this time I entered the army to protect my Han Sheji. At present, Cao Ying is dictatorial and bullying the Son of Heaven. We are the descendants of the Han family, and we should work together to support the community! Liu Bei said solemnly.

"That's how it should be!" Liu Biao also said angrily, and then ordered a banquet to catch Liu Bei and others. After three rounds of drinking, Liu Biao stopped everyone: "Xuande Gong helped me quell Jingxiang's rebellion this time, and Liu Biao is grateful." If you don't want to repay such a great kindness, how can you feel at ease? There is no long thing on the body of the watch, only this thing can be used to express gratitude. After speaking, he ordered someone to present a red lacquered wooden box, and Liu Biao personally carried it to Liu Bei.

"Brother Jingsheng, why is it so polite!" Liu Bei hurriedly got up and said humbly. Liu Biao just smiled and said: "Xuande doesn't need to shirk, today, except for you, no one can take on this important task anymore." ”

"What do you mean?" Liu Bei looked puzzled, but when he opened the box, he was shocked. "Brother Jingsheng, what do you mean by this?" Liu Bei said in shock, holding the box in his hand and trembling a little. Liu Biao calmly took out the Jingzhou Pastoral Official Seal from the box, held it in his hand and handed it to Liu Bei with a precious and heavy hand: "Xuande, this Jingzhou Pastoral Seal was handed over to me by the first emperor eighteen years ago. At that time, the first emperor canonized the state pastor of the thirteen states, and the Han clan relatives who received the seal with me were Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai, Yizhou Mu Liu Yan, Yangzhou Mu Liu Xuan, and Youzhou Mu Liu Yu. Now the only one who still exists in the world is me Liu Biao. After this rebellion, I know that with my own ability, I am afraid that it will be difficult to take on this important task again. If you do it reluctantly, I am afraid that sooner or later you will have to follow in the footsteps of those brothers. Today, the Han dynasty is in decline. Who can reorganize the dynasty now, besides you, can take on this important task? Please don't shirk your brother! ”

After Liu Biao's words, the scene was suddenly silent, no one expected that Liu Biao would suddenly be mad after the rebellion was purged, and even Zhao Feng, a traverser, was unexpected. Although Liu Biao once intended to entrust Jingzhou to Liu Bei in history, but it was a helpless move when he was at the end of his rope, and now although Liu Biao is over half a hundred years old, his body is still quite strong, and it is not a problem to live for another three or five years, so why is it necessary to entrust the important task so early?

But after thinking about it again, Zhao Feng also had to admire Liu Biao's insight. At present, he is running out of time, and his son is not successful. In such a situation, Jingzhou, which occupies the top of the world, is equivalent to a three-year-old child holding gold in the middle of the city, which is very dangerous. In such a situation, the most realistic goal is to take a back seat to preserve future generations. As for Liu Bei, referring to Tao Qian's two sons, who lived quite freely, Liu Biao was not worried that his descendants would be cleaned up by him.

It's a long story, but these thoughts flashed in Zhao Feng's mind. It is not difficult for Liu Biao to have this insight, but it is even more difficult to be ruthless and inappropriate Jingzhou Mu. Liu Bei was about to resign, and Liu Biao had already rushed in front of him and said, "I already know what the virtuous brother is worried about. The virtuous brother is now a pastor in Xuzhou, or it is inconvenient to serve as a pastor in Jingzhou. However, there are many talents under the account of the virtuous brothers, General Guan, General Zhao, and Lu Changshi are all outstanding people in the world, and whoever takes over this Jingzhou pastor depends on the virtuous brothers. I am over half a hundred years old, and my two sons are not people who can take on great responsibilities, so I asked my virtuous brother to make it difficult for me to take over this burden. Liu Biao is also unofficial and light, and went to the countryside of Jingnan to live a few years in peace. After saying all this, Liu Biao directly held the official seal above his head and knelt directly in front of Liu Bei.

"Brother kills little brother!" Liu Bei hurriedly knelt down and returned the salute, and when the people around him saw that their lords were kneeling, they also quickly knelt down, and Hulala knelt down on the whole banquet, and they couldn't even take care of eating.

"Brother, please get up, you can discuss something slowly!" Liu Bei said urgently.

"If the virtuous brother doesn't agree, Liu Biao will kneel and die here!" Liu Biao didn't give an inch, and said with a stalk around his neck.

"Please also ask my uncle to be the father of the whole family!" Liu Qi also persuaded at this time, and Liu Bei had no choice but to take the card seal in Liu Biao's hand first, and then everyone got up one after another. Liu Biao seemed to be a lot more relaxed as if he had unloaded the burden of a thousand catties, patted Liu Bei's shoulder and said with a smile: "The reason why I am not busy dealing with Cai Mao and Kuai Yue's young people is that I am waiting for you to deal with it." I'm not in his position, I'm not in charge, so I don't care about these idle things. ”

"Brother is serious!" Liu Bei sighed. At that moment, Liu Biao was relaxed and accompanied everyone to eat, drink and have fun, and he stayed until late at night.

"Father, why do you want to return to your hometown now?" In Liu Biao's study late at night, Liu Qi asked his Lao Tzu with some doubts.

"Alas!" Liu Biao took a sip of the teacup, and looked at Liu Qi for a long time, before he spoke: "I did this all because of you!" ”

Liu Qi was silent when he heard this, and only after a while did he speak: "The child knows that he is not a talent for competition, and he is willing to go into hiding with his father." ”

"My son doesn't have to be presumptuous, with your talent, it is more than enough to be the head of a county, and you can be competent as the head of a county, but it is inevitable that you will not be able to be the head of a state." Liu Biao said with a smile. After a pause, Liu Biao said again: "Although your second brother was born to his stepmother, he is young after all, seven years old, and this time Cai's rebellion has nothing to do with him." I will take him to Jingnan in a few days, if you stay here, even if Xuande will not reuse you, he will not treat you too badly. When you do the following, you should be cautious and careful. Your cousin is brave and competitive, and you must not join him in bringing disaster upon himself. ”

"Got it!" Liu Qigong listened to Liu Biao's teachings. In the early morning of the next day, Liu Biao took his young son Liu Cong and a few domestic servants to take a boat from Jiangxia to a courtyard in Xiangtan County, leaving such a big mess for Liu Bei. When Liu Pan learned that Liu Biao was not doing anything, he hurried to Jiangxia, but he couldn't even catch up with the send-off. Liu Pan, who was obviously a little lost, didn't say hello to Liu Bei, so he could only run back to Xiangyang in a gloomy manner.

But Liu Bei is not easy, now Liu Biao left him a huge mess, compared to Xuzhou, which Tao Qian left him in the past, and Yuzhou, which Guan Yu and Zhao Feng pacified, Jingzhou is more important than those two states combined. Even the degree of dilapidation was no less than when Liu Bei took over the two states.

However, before thinking about how to pacify Jing Xiang, there is still one important thing to do, that is, to behead the rebellious people and others this time.

Nearly 800 people from the nine clans of the Cai family + Kuai clan were all escorted to Jiangxia, and then beheaded in public. The executioner killed for a long time, and then he killed all the hundreds of people, and his heads were like blood gourds all over the place. Cai Mao and Kuai Yue's were hung high at the gate of Jiangxia City to show the public, and Kuai Yue's eyes seemed to be still looking at Xuchang and looking at the Ming Lord Cao Cheng in his heart.
