Jingzhou is connected to Jiaozhou in the south, Yizhou in the west, Yongsi in the north, Yan, Henan and Yang in the east, the territory is the first of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, and the population is second only to Jizhou, known as the belly of the world, also known as the furnace of the world, and it has been a place for soldiers to fight for since ancient times.

Jingzhou is rich in products and outstanding people. Scholars such as Wang Cang and Han Song are all famous Confucians in the world, and military generals such as Huang Zhong and Wenpin are also rare fierce generals in the world. There is also the Lumen Academy opened by Pang Degong, which is known as the world's first master, and the people taught are all well-educated people with talents from heaven and earth. For example, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, and Xu Shu are all outstanding people under him, and the rest such as Shi Guangyuan, Cui Zhouping, and Meng Gongwei are slightly inferior in talent and learning to Zhuge Liang and others, but in Zhuge Liang's words, these people can at least serve as the head of a county.

On the second day of Liu Biao's picking, Liu Bei, who was in Jiangxia, also hurriedly convened everyone to discuss Jingxiang's affairs. "After Liu Jingsheng went into hiding, Cai Mao and others were ambushed, Jing Xiang's forces could be divided into three factions. The first faction is a group of military generals headed by Liu Pan, most of these people regard themselves as heroes of the counterinsurgency, and they hold military power, and they are not too welcome to the lord of Jingxiang at present; The second faction is scholars like Wang Cang and Han Song, who were once forced to follow the Cai family and the Kuai family to rebel against the party, and only forgave their sins because of the lord's leniency. The rest are the other three of the five wealthy families, as well as the rest of the small and medium-sized gate valves such as the Xi family and the Yang family, they have long admired the name of the lord, and they are looking forward to the lord Jingxiang! Zhuge Liang said eloquently.

Chaos, chaos, this is the first thought in Zhao Feng's mind now. The forces of all parties in Jingzhou are intricate, far more chaotic than Yangzhou and Xuzhou. Let's just say that in this second faction, some of them are close to Cao Ying, some are neutral, and some are close to Liu Bei. Thinking of this, Zhao Feng couldn't help but glance at Guan Yu, I really don't know how he took care of this messy stall in history. However, considering that there was Zhuge Liang first, and then Ma Liang, Guan Yu should only be in charge of military affairs.

After listening to Zhuge Liang's brief introduction, Liu Bei also carefully considered the stakes involved. "Liu Pan is not afraid, he has no more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, and his combat power is also heaven and earth compared to us." Guan Yu said first, it seems that Liu Pan made him very unhappy.

"Second brother, how about you being the pastor of Jingzhou?" Liu Bei suddenly said. Guan Yu was stunned when he heard this, and was about to speak, Liu Bei had already rushed in front of him and said: "Jingzhou is an important place in the world, I think there is no one else who can take on this important task except you." ”

"The younger brother should share the worries of the eldest brother, but it is difficult for me to be the one who is responsible for this!" Guan Yu is not polite. Liu Bei nodded, turned his head to Zhuge Liang and said, "Kong Ming, you are a person from Jingxiang, so you will be appointed as a pawn farmer in Jingzhou to assist the second brother in taking care of Jingzhou." ”

"Yes!" Zhuge Liang also understood that Liu Bei had put him in charge of civil affairs. Zhao Feng looked at Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang, but he didn't expect that the habitual surname of history would work again, and it was these two old brothers who took care of Jing Xiang. However, now that Dongwu has been wiped out, although Lu Meng is still alive, he is far away in Jiaozhou, and it is unlikely that he wants to cross the river in white again. At present, Liu Bei transferred Li Tong, Wen Ping, Huang Zhong, Ma Liang and other cadres to assist Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang to temporarily govern Jingzhou, and he performed Guan Yu as the pastor of Jingzhou, and sent it to Xuchang together with Liu Biao's resignation report.

"Lord, now that Cai Mao has been ambushed, the position of Yangzhou pastor is vacant, what should I do?" Zhuge Liang raised another question that was ignored by everyone intentionally or unintentionally, Liu Bei patted his head lightly when he heard this, thought about it, turned his head to look at everyone, and finally nailed his eyes to Zhao Feng.

"Bo Tao, I played you as the pastor of Yangzhou before, but I was given Cai Mao. Now that Cai Mao is dead, I should protect this matter for you again. Liu Bei looked at Zhao Feng and said. Lord, this? Zhao Feng didn't expect Liu Bei to bring up the old matter again, and just as he was about to speak, Liu Bei had already stopped him and said, "Bo Tao, you have followed me for ten years." You have made a great contribution to the battles of Xuzhou, Yuzhou, and Jiangdong, but at the moment, the official rank is only a county guard, and you can't bear it. Now that Cai Mao is in ambush, Yangzhou is the rear of my army and grain, who can do this except you? ”

"Thank you, lord, Feng should do his best." Seeing that Liu Bei's words were all about this, Zhao Feng could only accept the order. At that moment, Liu Bei wrote a piece of music and sent it to Xuchang together.

"It seems that Liu Bei has pacified Jingxiang." After reading these three pieces, Cao Ying was silent. He really couldn't figure out why Liu Biao would suddenly give up this position as the Jingzhou pastor. Originally, I wanted to use the relationship between Er Liu to make some trouble, but now it seems that it is impossible.

"My lord, right now that Yuan Shaotun's troops are on the other side, he is about to attack at any time, and I ask my lord to make a decision as soon as possible!" Xun Yu looked at Cao Ying for a long time and was silent, and hurriedly reminded.

"Wen Ruo, is our army's food and grass still enough?" Cao Ying suddenly asked. Xun Yu was slightly relieved when he heard him ask about this, he knew that Cao Ying had adjusted his state and was ready to deal with Yuan Shao in front of him.

"Don't worry, my lord, we have purchased food from Liu Zhang in Yizhou and Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, and we can tide over the difficulties now. According to the minister's estimates, as long as Yuan Shao loses again in this battle, he will no longer have the power to turn over. Xun Yu replied with a smile.

"Yuan Benchu is in a hurry, if he can work hard, he can still make a comeback. With such a hurry, even if it wins, it is a miserable victory! Cao Ying shook his head and said. The lord still doesn't know who he is, if he can work hard, then he is not Yuan Benchu. Cheng Yu said with a smile.

"What Zhong De said is very true, haha!" Cao Ying also laughed. Then he unfolded the map and said: "Biao Ma Teng is the general of the expedition to the west, and Han Sui is the assassin of Liangzhou, and ordered the two of them to lead the army from the territory of the Xiongnu to attack and merge the state." After the matter was completed, the three counties of Tianshui, Weiguang and Longxi were merged into Liangzhou! ”

"Yes!" Xun Yu is also an immediate purpose. The three counties of Tianshui were not very important to Cao Ying, but they were extremely fatal to Liangzhou, which lacked food. Especially in Longxi, Ma Teng has long coveted the wheat there. This tactic of inciting the masses to fight the masses has been used perfectly.

"Lord, what about Liu Bei's performance?" Xun Yu asked again.

"The herald Guan Yu is the pastor of Jingzhou, the general of the southern army, and the marquis of the capital pavilion. As for Zhao Feng. Cao Ying was a little unpredictable.

"Zhao Feng's child is only thirty years old, how can he be the pastor of a state? Mengde: Do you hate this person deeply? A voice as shrill as a duck's throat sounded, and all the strategists couldn't help but get goosebumps when they heard it. Cheng Yu looked at Xu You, who was a little proud, and frowned. Since this guy defected to Cao Ying, he has always been arrogant, and even calling Cao Ying is directly commensurate with the words, which is really unscrupulous.

"I don't like this person, Ziyuan, do you have a plan to get rid of it for me?" Although Cao Ying didn't like Xu You to be so arrogant, Xu You's whimsical ideas from time to time were also very useful, so Cao Ying didn't dare to take him too seriously.

"It can't be removed suddenly, but there is a plan that may make it not used by Liu Bei." Xu You said proudly, and after speaking, he glanced at Cheng Yu and the others with his eyes, Bing's surname is like this, and it can't be changed.

"Ziyuan speak quickly!" Cao Ying asked a little eagerly, he really didn't have a good impression of this person who copied his house.

It is rumored that when Zhao Feng and Guan Yu conquered Jingxiang, they led water to wash away Jiangling City, so that hundreds of thousands of people died, and the Jingxiang people were all resentful of this. Wang Zhongxuan and Han Degao are all today's great Confucians, and they have many poems and songs with the lord, so that they can write to Liu Bei to count all the sins of Zhao Feng. Liu Bei is known for his benevolence, how could he ignore it? Xu You's duck voice and his subdued voice are really unpleasant to listen to.

"Ziyuan, didn't you think Liu Bei would kill Zhao Feng for this?" Xun You had long been unaccustomed to Xu You's arrogance, so he asked deliberately.

"Naturally, I won't kill Zhao Feng. However, in this situation, if Liu Bei wants to appease the hearts of everyone, he will have to severely punish Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng has merit and convictions, how can he not have resentment? As long as he and Liu Bei turn against each other or have a gap, they will naturally not be used by Liu Bei anymore! Even if this plan fails, we won't be harmed! Xu Yu said with a smile.

"Makes sense!" Cao Ying nodded again and again after listening to Xu You's words, and then drafted the decree: to entitle Zhang Zhao and Zhang Zibu as Yangzhou pastor and lead Wu Hou; Gu Yong is the Taishou of Wujun, Bu Fei is the Taishou of Lujiang, and Tai Shici is the Taishou of Poyang. "The lord has a wonderful plan!" Cheng Yu understood the mystery after a little thought: Zhang Zhao and others are all former ministers of Jiangdong, although they have changed their doors and defected to Liu Bei now, but now they are enshrined by the emperor's order. If Liu Bei obeys his will, Zhang Zhao and others are high-ranking officials in Jiangdong, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not disagree; If they don't listen, Zhang Zhao and others will inevitably be dissatisfied, and it can also make the starting point of Liu Bei's group turbulent. This is more obvious than the original drive of tigers and wolves.

"Hmph, now that Yuan Benchu is about to commit a crime, it will be cheaper Liu Bei will take Jing Xiang first. When I destroy Yuan Shao, I will compete with him again! Cao Ying's last sentence was also murderous.

After a few days, the holy decree was issued to Jiangxia. "What?" Zhang Zhao, who was in Yuzhou, was also surprised to learn that he was named Yangzhou Mu, and rushed to Jiangxia overnight to meet Liu Bei. Not only him, but Bu Fei and others were also surprised.

"Cao Meng's skills are poor!" Liu Bei couldn't see Cao Ying's idea at this time, looking at Zhang Zhao, who was a little frightened in front of him, Liu Bei smiled and said: "Even if you have a fate, that Zibu still needs to take care of the government affairs of Yangzhou and a state." At present, there is no war in Yangzhou, and Zibu only needs to take care of civil affairs. ”

"Zhang Zhao understands! But General Zhao? Zhang Zhao also looked at Zhao Feng when he said this, and now the holy decree also canonized Bu Fei as the Lujiang Taishou, doesn't that mean that Zhao Feng, the Lujiang Taishou, is at the end, and there is only one Fenwei General left.

Liu Bei looked at Zhao Feng, and finally thought about it and said, "Bo Tao, you better go back to Shouchun with me first, and then make plans!" Zhao Feng had nothing to do, followed Liu Bei back to Shouchun, just in time to meet Diao Chan, who had been stranded there for almost a year, and at the same time asked people to go back to their home in Lujiang to inform the Zhen sisters. After arriving in Shouchun, Zhao Feng, Pang Tong and others discussed it many times, and they all felt that Yuan Cao's war was about to start, and it would be best if they could get some benefits. But Chen Qun told them that after the battle of Jingxiang this year, there was not much money and food left, and if they wanted to start the war again, they could only wait for next year. Zhao Feng deeply regretted it, but after thinking about it, he actually won Jingzhou this year, and this result is quite good.

However, what Zhao Feng did not expect was that before Cao Ying and Yuan Shao could go to war, a storm against him swept Jingzhou and even Yangzhou. The scholars of these two states, led by Wang Cang and Han Song, and the children of the family, wrote to Liu Bei one after another, accusing Zhao Feng of breaking the embankment and releasing water during the attack on Jiangling, causing hundreds of thousands of lives to be destroyed. It is difficult for such a mad person to appease the people if he does not kill them. The rhetoric is fierce and murderous.
