In the late spring of the fifth year of Jian'an (200 years), Changsha Chuhou Fuzhong

Early in the morning, Liu Xiu received a message from the spies from Jiangxia, a message that made Liu Xiu excited: Huang Zu is dead!

As soon as Huang Zu died, Jiangxia had no leader, and Shaxian's Liu Pan and Huang Zhong would be alone, and it would not be long before Jiangxia would fall into the hands of Sun Ce

Such news would be a thunderbolt to his father!

For Liu Biao, the Jingzhou pastor, the seven counties of Jingxiang in the Han Dynasty, the four counties of Jingnan were occupied by his son, and the vicinity of Wancheng in Nanyang was captured by Cao Cao

"The time has come!" Liu Xiu was overjoyed and couldn't help but snort slightly

"What is the lord going to do?!" The man who spoke up sat at the end of the column of strategists, and saw that he was slender and long, with a beard, and his right hand touched a short beard under his forehead, and asked peacefully;

This person is Liu Muzhi, who has just arrived after mourning King Hui Liu Fei---

In his previous life, Liu Mu was a minister of Liu Yu, the ancestor of the Song Dynasty, and most of them were Liu Yu's rear, and he was a great talent in the style of Xiao He and Xun Yu

Liu Muzhi did not stop after speaking, but continued: "The lord has been plotting against Jingbei for a long time, although the design is good, but if the Jingbei clan insists on asking the Cai family or the Huang family to send troops to rescue Jiangxia again, I don't know if the lord will have a plan at that time!?" ”

When Liu Xiu heard this, his brows couldn't help frowning, in fact, he had already discussed this matter with Liu Bowen and a few people, but everyone thought that the possibility of this matter was very small, after all, Jiangxia has always been in the hands of the Huang family and the eldest prince Liu Qi supported by it, and the Cai family and Liu Cong supported by it controlled Jiangling and other places, so it was impossible for the Huang family to let the Cai family into Jiangxia, and the Huang family had no famous person to replace it (Huang Zhong was running around for his son Huang Xu's treatment all the year round, and his reputation was average at this time), so, All the Huang family can do is to win over the generals from his cheap father, and Yang Ye, who has only been in charge for a few years, is naturally the best candidate!

Liu Xiu thought about it, but listened to Liu Muzhi say: "The subordinates know that the lord has a plan in his heart, but this matter may also happen!" ”

"Therefore, my subordinates asked for orders to go to Xiangyang alone to build a bridge and pave the way for the Lord to go north!" Liu Muzhi said, got up and saluted Liu Xiu, and said: "Although the subordinates are in the second half of the main account, but their reputation is not obvious, others don't know, go to Liu Jingzhou's command, there will be no unwarranted suspicion, and the subordinates are based on the identity of the Han clan and are only strategists, they will definitely be able to easily enter Liu Jingzhou's eyes, and they will definitely be able to go north for the lord at that time, and make full preparations!" ”

When Liu Xiu heard this, his eyes froze, it seems that although the talent recruited is loyal, he also has many desires such as competitiveness and ambition

However, Liu Xiu didn't mind this in his heart, he just looked at Liu Mu deeply and said, "What do you think of the words of Daohe?" ”

Liu Xiu's expression was serious, after all, this matter is extremely dangerous and risky, but if it succeeds, the effect will not be small

Everyone in the hall admired and marveled at Liu Muzhi's words, not to mention the generals, but there was a lot of discussion among the scribes, but in the end, no one spoke out against it!

"In that case, Daohe, I'm sorry for you to take this trip, pay more attention to safety!" Liu Xiuxia decided: "In addition, send an order to General Xue Rengui of Dongting Lake, and order him to closely monitor the movements of Jiangxia, and once there is an opportunity, immediately raise troops to the north!" ”

Then, Liu Xiu turned his head and said to the middle-aged general with a straight face among the generals: "Pengju, I have transferred 30,000 soldiers and horses from all over the country to you, and you will lead the troops to the northern border of Wuling County, if General Yang Ye returns to Xiangyang, you will lead the army into the north of Wuling County, train troops at all times, and go north to Jiangling at any time!" ”

"Whoa!" The crowd gladly took the order

A few days later, in the city of Xiangyang

Liu Muzhi, who rushed to Xiangyang day and night, did not go to the state pastor's mansion as soon as possible, but found a teahouse and began to inquire about the current situation in Xiangyang!

At this time, more than ten days have passed since Huang Zu was killed, although Jiangxia is still guarded by Huang Zhong and Liu Pan, but no one is soft-spoken, it is impossible to take over the defense of Jiangxia's entire army, perhaps at this time, the eastern part of Jiangxia has been captured by Sun Ce

However, in this Xiangyang City, for several days, Liu Biao and the other clans were still at loggerheads, arguing over whether the Huang family sent troops or the Cai family sent troops

As for the Kuai clan and other clans, they don't have much military power in their hands, and it is benevolent that they have not joined the fight for Jiangxia at this time

And Liu Biao, as the lord, is already suspicious and indecisive, not a talent of the overlord, and he really doesn't know who to use in such a quarrel

After inquiring about this situation, Liu Muzhi was still not in a hurry to act, but made his dress of poverty down, and only then did he go to the door of the state pastor's mansion and report his family history to see Liu Biao

Sure enough, the body of the Han clan was soon received by Liu Biao

Liu Muyi entered the door, regardless of the others, it was a cup of tea and drink

Seeing this, Liu Biao couldn't help frowning slightly, his eyes showed displeasure, and he asked in disgust: "I don't know which line of disciple the virtuous nephew is?" ”

Liu Biao met Liu Muzhi, not just because he reported the name of the Han family, but more to determine whether his Han family was true, just because if you were deceiving people in the people, it would be okay, but at this time, you actually deceived him to come to the Jingzhou Pastoral Mansion, and the matter had to be seriously investigated, after all, although the Han family is in decline, the name of this clan is still glorious, and not anyone can impersonate it casually

Liu Muzhi casually brushed off the tea stains at the corner of his mouth, swallowed a mouthful of pastry, swallowed his saliva again, and then bowed his hand and said: "My nephew's name is Muzhi, the word is harmonious, but after mourning Liu Fei, the king of Hui, he traveled to Xiangyang this time, and asked the thief to steal the luggage and starve for several days!" The nephew heard that the clan uncle was here as a pastor in Jingzhou, so he came to beg for food."

As soon as the words fell, Liu Muzhi reached out and grabbed the pastry again, and devoured it

When Liu Biao heard this, he checked again to determine Liu Muzhi's identity, but he was still very disgusted by Liu Muzhi's appearance

But before he could say anything, Liu Muzhi first asked casually: "Uncle Guan's eyebrows are very depressed, I don't know if I'm worried?!" ”

"Huh?!" When Liu Biao heard this, he instantly turned his head to look at Liu Muzhi, and said in surprise: "The virtuous nephew can still look at his face?!" ”

"This won't happen!" Liu Muzhi still kept on his hands and mouth, and said casually: "It's just that my uncle has already written everything on his face?!" ”

"This? What does this mean? Can you tell me more about it? When Liu Biao heard the words again, his heart suddenly became interested, so he asked;

"Ahem" Liu Muzhi stopped what he was busy with, drank a cup of tea, straightened his throat, and then began to say slowly: "As soon as my nephew arrived in Xiangyang, I heard that the whole city was talking about it, General Jiangxia Huangzu died in battle, and Sun Ce is about to fight to Xiangyang!" ”

"In addition, some people even talked about the military of Xiangyang, saying that the generals of Xiangyang City were inconsistent, the grain and grass were insufficient, and the soldiers and horses could not be mobilized at all."

"Presumably my uncle is still worried about these little things, right?!"

When Liu Biao heard Liu Muzhi say that he heard the rumors in Xiangyang City, his curiosity suddenly fell, but when he listened to what Liu Muzhi said, this was a trivial matter, his heart couldn't help but move, and said: "A trivial matter?!" The virtuous nephew thinks this is a trivial matter?! ”

Liu Biao seemed to be angry and frightened, and his volume couldn't help but rise

"Nature is a trifle!" Liu Muzhi smiled disdainfully and said
