"Liu Biao? Did I hear me right? Hearing that Ling Wanqing opened her mouth so unexpectedly, Wang Xu asked a rhetorical question in disbelief.

"Yes, the lord didn't hear it wrong at all, it's Liu Biao!" Seeing Wang Xu's appearance, Ling Wanqing immediately covered her mouth and smiled, but what she said was extremely affirmative.

But Wang Xu was not happy at all, Liu Biao finally became the assassin of Jingzhou by coincidence, which was his most aggrieved place. But now that Jing Nan's affairs have not been dealt with, he has started to make trouble again, which is really not good news. "Hey! Say, what is Liu Jingsheng doing? ”

Hearing this, Ling Wanqing looked at Wang Xu with a smile and said with a smile: "Liu Biao is studying like a lord!" ”

"Wanqing, don't detour me, just say it! What the hell is going on? What did he do? Wang Xu was not in the mood to quarrel with Ling Wan, so he frowned and went straight to the point.

Finding that Wang Xu was not in a good mood, Ling Wanqing couldn't help but turn her head to look at Xu Shu. Seeing that he blinked, he made a look, and immediately understood, and stopped joking, and immediately arched his hand and said: "Back to the lord, after Liu Biao took office as the assassin of Jingzhou, he won over the six families of Xiangyang, and quickly got the full support of the Kuai family. The most famous clansmen in the Kuai family, Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang have already done what he does. These lords already knew about it, and their subordinates didn't say more, but a few days ago, Liu Biao didn't know what means to use guò to completely win over the Cai family, because his wife had died early, so he even took the current head of the Cai family, Cai Wei's young daughter as his wife. At present, the Cai and Kuai families have fully supported Liu Biao, and because of the connection between the six major families, the rest of the Pang, Huang, Ma, and Xi Sijia are also very friendly to them. ”

Saying that, as if she was worried that Wang Xu didn't understand the power of the six families in Xiangyang, Ling Wanqing paused, and then continued to add: "Lord, this Xiangyang Six families are extremely strong, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the six major families in Jingzhou. In particular, the Cai family is very influential, Cai Wei's younger sister married Zhang Wen, who had served as Sikong and Taiwei, and his eldest daughter married Huang Chengyan, the current head of the Huang family. In short, these big families are extremely prestigious in Jingzhou, and many of them have served in various places, and they are also very influential among the court and scholars. Moreover, they are extremely wealthy, and there are many vassal diners, and their own background is also very rich. ”

"Hmmm! I know. "For the six families of Xiangyang, Wang Xu's understanding is much deeper than Ling Wanqing's, so he doesn't have much interest in her explanations. However, if Liu Biao is just like this, only more than a year ahead of history to win over these giants, then it is not worth paying much attention to, anyway, he has already run to the front, and when the time comes, even if he faces the battle head-on, it is not impossible, but to fight for the current shape, will Liu Biao really be the same as history?

Thinking of this, Wang Xu suddenly asked a little nervously, "That's all?" Is there anything else going on? ”

"Yes!" Sure enough, as Wang Xu expected, as soon as the words fell, Ling Wanqing nodded affirmatively. "In fact, those things just now are all foreshadowing, and what I really want to report to the lord is that Liu Biao is expanding the army, and with the full support of the two major families, he has completely controlled Jiangxia County, Nanjun and Zhangling County. Only Nanyang Taishou Yang continued to pay little attention to them, but he didn't stop them. ”

As soon as these words came out, Wang Xu suddenly took a deep breath. Sure enough, it's not that simple, Liu Biao is worthy of being a person who dares to enter Jingzhou single-handedly to seize power, although he is only content to defend the city and has no ambition to win the world, but he is really a rare talent. He is starting to expand the army now, and he must have expected that the world will be chaotic, so he is just making preparations.

sighed secretly in his heart, Wang Xu no longer complained about what had happened. After thinking about it quickly, he quickly spoke: "What about Jiangxia Taishou Liu Xiang?" What didn't he say? His Liu family is a family in my Lingling territory, and the Cai and Kuai families will inevitably suppress him, an outsider, and he even supports Liu Biao? ”

"According to the intelligence, Jiang Xia does fully support it. Because Liu Biao had transferred the Assassin Shizhi to Xiangyang, and the main force of Jiangxia's county soldiers was gathering in large numbers to Xiangyang. It is estimated that he wants to rectify the troops of the three counties first, and then recruit them. However, after Shan Huai and I analyzed the intelligence, we felt that Liu Xiang was not willing, and it seemed that he was forced to be hollowed out of power. After all, he is not as prestigious as Nanyang Taishou Yang Xu. Liu Biao didn't dare to move the sheep continuation, because the Taishan goat family has been a high-ranking official for generations, and since the sheep continuation, seven generations in a row have been ranked in Jiuqing, and they have a great influence. Besides, Yang Xu himself is a good official and has won the popularity of the people, if he is forced to be anxious, he will definitely fight to the death. And with the current situation, Liu Biao obviously didn't dare to make trouble with the imperial court, after all, he had no right to do this as a assassin. When she said this, Ling Wanqing's beautiful face was also full of Yan sù.

After listening carefully to this information, Wang Xu also felt a little headache after analyzing it slightly. "According to what you say, Liu Biaoxi is not lacking anything, he wants people, money, and materials?"

"That's right, that's why I'm in a hurry to report to the lord." Speaking of this, Ling Wanqing's voice lowered, and she whispered: "If the lord wants Jingbei in the future, he should find a way!" The four counties of Jingbei are more fertile, there are many people, Jingnan is congenitally difficult to shoot, if Liu Biao concentrates power and expands strength, it will be very difficult to do it in the future! ”

Hearing this, Wang Xu couldn't help but sigh, looked at the sparkling pool and pondered for a long time, but shook his head and said, "I also understand this, but now I don't dare." Liu Biao is not as good as Cao Yin, he was originally a relative of the Han family, and this time he did the assassination history, a big reason is that His Majesty and the general hope that he will dominate me, so anyone can make trouble in this matter, I will make trouble, but I must be cautious. ”

"I had thought about this situation before, and I thought I could sue him. But the current shape is different, with Liu Biao's shrewdness, it is impossible for him not to know that I will be dissatisfied, so he must rely on something. If he didn't figure out why he was so fearless, once the matter was pulled apart, not only would it not be a threat to him, but it would cause suspicion in the court. After all, I am too young and too imposing, and His Majesty and the people in power in the court have not been in contact with me for a long time, so I am not sure in my heart. Therefore, if I go to make trouble, even if I can bring down Liu Biao, I may lose a qiē. The stakes are too big...... I can't afford to bet ......"

After speaking, Wang Xu was already slowly silent, and closed his eyes a little helplessly.

Seeing that Wang Xu was worried, Ling Wanqing also frowned, and pondered for a moment before asking tentatively: "Lord, then can you think of a way to explore the path of Yang Xu?" ”

"Of course, Yang Xu is the only breakthrough, and I will visit in person in a few days." As he spoke, Wang Xu's eyes narrowed, and he continued word by word: "And I have to visit Liu Biao first!" ”

Having said this, Ling Wanqing also knew that there was nothing to do with her, seeing that Wang Xu was not in a very good mood, she didn't say much, and when she arched her hand and said, "Since the lord has already made arrangements, then his subordinates will leave first." ”

"Hmmm! Go ahead! Wang Xu nodded and said.

As Ling Wanqing gradually moved away, Xu Shucai, who had been silent, slowly stood up, walked to Wang Xu's side and said, "Husband, why are you suddenly afraid of Liu Biao?" ”

"I'm not afraid!" Wang Xu shook his head, but his eyes were still looking at the pool next to him, and he said softly: "Actually, it is not particularly difficult to beat Liu Biao, if even he can't beat him, then how can you talk about dominating the world?" It's just that a hard encounter will consume a lot of time and a lot of manpower and material resources, which I don't want. ”

"Oh!" Knowing that what Wang Xu said was the truth, Xu Shu responded and couldn't help but be silent. stood quietly with him for a long time, and then couldn't help asking, "Then what do you think Liu Biao relies on?" I remember that you seemed to have thought about it before, and you were going to sue him for such a thing, why did you really take care of it? ”

"Because I didn't think about it that much at the time, but when things happen under certain circumstances, there will be a lot of problems before and after the connection." As he spoke, Wang Xu turned his head to look at Xu Shu and smiled, before explaining softly: "You think, Liu Biao can single-handedly settle Jingzhou in history, and now he can also have enough wrists to be supported, which shows that he is a talented person." If he is not sure, how can he be so stupid and dare to do things beyond his authority? The only possibility is that he has enough calculations. ”

"Then why do you think he has no fear?" Xu Shu suddenly asked curiously.

"It's very simple, there must be someone who supports it, or rather, he has been instructed by some person in power, otherwise how could he be so bold to do such a thing publicly? If I am convicted of overstepping my authority without authorization and plotting against me, the court will probably let me send troops to fight against me. Wang Xu couldn't help laughing.

Hearing this, Xu Shu's curiosity did not decrease, and she immediately asked: "Then who do you think is manipulating behind the scenes?" ”

"Who else? Isn't it possible to be directly appointed as a state vicar? And Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong will not care about this matter at all, as long as they do not offend him and do not infringe on his interests, they will not care at all. So only the great general He Jin, and the Jian Shuo, who was dreaming of competing with He Jin for military power. And Liu Biao was imprisoned as a member of the party, and he hated the eunuchs to the core, and he would definitely not take refuge in Jian Shuo, so this matter must be the general He Jin. ”

Saying that, Wang Xu paused, and then sighed softly: "In this case, it can also explain why Qingliushi people like Yang Xu are silent, because they support He Jin to fight with the eunuchs." And it can also explain why Liu Biao is not afraid of being dissatisfied, because I also rely on He Jin, and if I make a fuss, He Jin will definitely come forward. ”

Hearing this, Xu Shu was even more puzzled, and her face was full of doubts. "But why did He Jin do this? What good did Liu Biao do in power? Since Wang Rui was removed, there are no more people in the four counties of Jingbei, what else is he worried about? ”

"I'm not sure about this, but it is estimated that Liu Biao promised him something, so he gave the right. And there may be reasons for dominating me, the strength of the Zhennan General's Mansion is already more than 50,000 people, and he may have some considerations. Saying that, Wang Xu also shook his head a little uncertainly: "Forget it, it's useless to think too much now, I'll go north in two days, and I'll understand the general situation when I see Liu Biao and Yang Xu." It's getting dark now, I'm going to go outside the West Gate to prepare for the beheading of those assassins, so don't go. ”

"I didn't want to go, what's so nice to kill the head." Xu Shu suddenly shook her head and smiled.

"Hmmm! Then I'll go. After speaking, Wang Xu stopped being verbose, straightened out the clothes on his body, and left the Taishou Mansion with a full stomach.
