After arranging Huang Zhong's position, it was Liu Pan's turn. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Liu Pan clenched his fists, although he was trying his best to restrain himself, but the faint flickering heat in his eyes still betrayed his excited emotions.

Even Huang Zhong was named a Fengyi lieutenant general by Wang Chong, and he could directly govern 5,000 soldiers, so wouldn't he, Huang Zhong's former direct boss, be directly named a general?

Wang Chong looked at Liu Pan meaningfully, and said with a faint smile: "General Liu, are you interested in commanding the Iron Guard Battalion?" ”

"What!?" As soon as Wang Chong said this, almost everyone present was stunned.

Behind Wang Chong, the confusion in Wang Shuang's eyes flashed, after all, nominally, he was the current commander of the Iron Guard Battalion, if Wang Chong wanted Liu Pan to take the position, then it must be his position that was banned.

Of course, with Wang Shuang's loyalty to Wang Chong, no matter what Wang Chong did, Wang Shuang would not be dissatisfied with him in the slightest, because if it weren't for Wang Chong, maybe he would still be just a little-known horseman.

Wang Shuang doesn't have much ambition, fame and fortune are just floating clouds for him, in fact, he is very satisfied with his current position, although he doesn't have many soldiers, but as Wang Chong's most trusted personal guard, his status is undoubtedly transcendent, even those generals who hold real power have to be polite when they see him, and they don't dare to have the slightest arrogance.

Liu Pan is very excited, the Iron Guard Battalion, this is the most elite army under the command of Jinfan, although the number is not large, but the combat power is enough to be worth the ordinary tens of thousands of troops, plus the Iron Guard Battalion is Wang Chong's direct army, Wang Chong every time he personally recruits, the Iron Guard Battalion will follow around, its status in the Jinfan Army, how can it be compared with ordinary troops? If he, Liu Pan, can really become the commander of this Iron Guard Battalion, then he, a newly descended person, is enough to ascend to the sky in one step among the many Jinfan generals.

"Ziquan is the general's personal guard, and in the past, he needed to follow the general from time to time to protect his safety, so he rarely had time to take care of the drills of the Iron Guard Battalion." Wang Chong gave an explanation on his own. "Ben has always wanted to find someone to replace him as the commander so as to relieve him of his burden, but he has never been able to find a suitable candidate. And General Liu fought bravely and wisely, and the general thought to himself, maybe General Liu ...... You can take on this responsibility! ”

"Thank you, Master!" Liu Pan hurriedly bowed his head and thanked him, for fear that Wang Chong would take back his fate, "The last general is willing to become a member of the Iron Guard Battalion!" ”

Wang Chong said: "General Liu is willing to take over. That's great, but most of the Iron Guard Battalion is unruly, and whether General Liu can make them happy and convinced depends on your own ability! ”

Liu Pan promised: "Don't worry, the lord will live up to the lord's expectations!" ”

Wang Chong nodded and said to Wang Shuang: "Ziquan, when you return to Anhui City, you will lead General Liu into the Iron Guard Camp to officially complete the handover!" ”

Wang Shuang's face replied indifferently: "No! ”

Letting Liu Pan take charge of the Tiewei Camp was a decision made by Wang Chong after careful consideration.

First, it can make Liu Pan feel his attention. Don't be dissatisfied with yourself; Second, the soldiers of the Iron Guard Battalion are all their diehards, even if Liu Pan rebels in the future, it is impossible to take away a single soldier; Third, in a sense, the Iron Guard Battalion can be said to be its own personal guard, and it does not have the qualifications to fight independently on weekdays, so as the commander of the Iron Guard Battalion, in addition to being responsible for the regular training of non-commissioned officers, he actually does not have much real power.

Above. It is enough to eliminate the hidden danger of Liu Pan's infidelity invisibly.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

June 9, the sixth year of Jian'an.

Wang Chong's division returned to Wancheng, and Zhou Tai and Liu Pi also led their troops to leave the water village in Yixian County and went to Dongting Lake. returned to Gan Ning's command.

At the same time, Liu Biao, who was in Xiangyang, also received the news that Wang Wei was defeated and killed, and Cai Mao was captured. So he immediately vomited blood. I can't afford to be sick.

Just last year, he Liu Mingming also mastered the two major states of Jing and Jiao, and held more than 200,000 soldiers; But now, the four counties of Jingnan and Jiangxia have fallen one after another, and Jiaozhou is lonely, and his territory can be said to have shrunk by more than half, leaving only one Nanjun and half of Nanyang, with a loss of more than 100,000 troops, and no longer any enterprising strength.

On the contrary, Jinfan, who pacified Jiangdong and Jingnan, expanded its sphere of influence by half, and is currently recruiting troops in Jingnan, as long as a discerning person can see that Jinfan's next step must be the core of their Jingzhou, Nanjun.

Black clouds crushed the city and wanted to destroy it, and the entire Jingzhou was plunged into the turbulence of the mountains and rains and the wind full of buildings.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Nanyang, Xinye.

Liu Bei has lived in this small city for nearly a year, during this period, Liu Biao did not give him much help, so in the case of being self-sufficient, his development can be described as unusually slow, and now, he only has more than 8,000 troops under his command.

Of course, sitting back has never been Liu Bei's style.

Secretly, Liu Bei has contacted many Jingzhou families, but although he has the name of 'Uncle of the Han Emperor' on his head, he is still frequently frustrated in front of the Jingzhou family.

Wang Chong or Cao Cao, most of today's Jingzhou families are only hesitating between the two, as for Liu Bei? Regardless of whether his identity is true or not, in the final analysis, he is just a lost dog who can only survive in the cracks, how can these Jingzhou families risk betting on him?

Originally, the disheartened Liu Bei was already thinking about other ways out, but with the successive defeats in Jingzhou and Liu Biao's illness, it gave them a glimmer of hope for the dove to occupy the magpie's nest.

Xu Shu proposed: "Lord, Liu Biao is old and frail, he is afraid that it will be difficult to get better with his illness, and his eldest son is mediocre and his second son is young, this is a great opportunity for the lord to control Jingzhou!" ”

Liu Bei's spirit was shocked and asked, "What should I do?" ”

Xu Shu said: "The lord should go to Xiangyang to see Liu Biao in the name of visiting the sick, hinting that Liu Biao is willing to lead the troops against Jinfan, so that he can smoothly take over the military power of Jingzhou from Liu Biao!" ”

Liu Bei frowned and said, "Will he agree?" ”

Xu Shu smiled and said: "Right now, the generals of Jingzhou have surrendered, and they are dead, after Huang Zu fled back to Xiangyang, he has also lost Liu Biao's trust, it can be said that the current Jingzhou is already in a dilemma of having no generals available, so even if Liu Biao is still suspicious of the lord, he has no choice!" ”

Liu Beixi said: "Yuan's straightforward words are reasonable, in this case, I will pack up and go to Xiangyang!" (To be continued.) )
