In the second year of Jian'an (197), which was in an eventful autumn, Yuan Shao ambitiously broke through the blockade of Cao's army and crossed the river to the south, but unexpectedly ended with Yuan Shao's death, and his three sons and three points of Jizhou, and fell into the hands of Lü Bu, Liu Bei and Cao Cao respectively.

There have been such drastic and unexpected changes this year, so that people all over the world are stunned, and they can't help but feel a chill from their bones.

It's just that this chill is not for himself, but for the once prominent Runan Yuan family.

The Yuan family in Runan, the famous name of the fourth and third princes, whether it is Shilin, or the ordinary people who don't know a big word, or even the slaves and untouchables, everyone knows, the protégés and old officials are all over the world, and it is the illustrious and powerful of the Yuan family, adding countless bricks and tiles.

However, the Yuan family turned from prosperity to decline, that is, Dong Zhuo's murderous demon began in Luoyang, and so far, it has only been a few years, and in a few years, the Yuan family was first in Luoyang's Yuan Kui family, and was locked up in the tiger prison by Li Dao, and slaughtered in front of Yuan Shao.

Now, the two most outstanding descendants of the Yuan family in Runan, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, have also been defeated and died one after another, announcing the end of the Yuan family in Runan, leaving the world with nothing but loneliness, emotion, and sighing.

As for Yuan Shao's three "unsuccessful" sons, after they belonged to Lu Bu, Liu Bei and Cao Cao respectively, in the eyes of people of insight, there was no possibility of reviving the Yuan family's momentum.

It's just that such a different decision of the three Yuan Tan brothers also brings an advantage, that is, Yuan Shao's corpse coffin can finally be buried in Runan's ancestral home and reunited with his illustrious ancestors.

In the blink of an eye, the spring breeze of the third year of Jian'an (198) has blown both sides of the green river, and the world that has just calmed down has begun to move again.

The calm of the situation in the world is not the arrival of peace, but the major forces. are busy integrating and digesting the benefits in hand, Lu Bu is busy integrating Youzhou and Jizhou, Liu Bei is busy integrating the troops brought by Yuan Xi, Cao Cao is busy integrating Bohai, and taking advantage of Lu Bu's time to seize some territory.

The three forces, between the Sili School Commandery, Jizhou, and Yanzhou, are intertwined, and any of the external expansion moves of one side will bring about the response of the other two.

Just when the eyes of the people of the world were all betting on the wrestling of Lu Bu, Liu Bei and Cao Cao. An astonishing piece of news spread all over the world. It's like a little spark falling into a frying pan. Let the world be surging for it.

Liu Biao, the self-proclaimed king of Xiangyang, was seriously ill, and at this juncture, he was seriously ill and bedridden, but it greatly encouraged Sun Ce, who was trying his best to plot Jingzhou. It also made the minds of Yuzhou Mu Liu Bei, Hussar General Lu Bu, and Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao come alive.

However, among the heroes who intend to dominate the world, some people rise, some people end, and some people want to hold the mentality of being rich but can't get it.

Kong Rong entrenched in Qingzhou, Tao Qian entrenched in Xuzhou. and Zhang Ji, who is entrenched in Nanyang, is like this, seeing that after several years of work, the situation in the world has changed, so that it has reached this day. What they think about day and night is how to exit this game of high stakes with dignity.

In the dead of night, Nanyang County governs Wancheng, as always, it falls into tranquility, under the rule of Zhang Ji, Nanyang has always been called a piece of peace, in fact, it is not only Nanyang, Jingzhou under the rule of Liu Biao, in the Central Plains, Guanzhong, Jiangdong turmoil, has always been the world's scholars, the people's hearts of the happy land, the family fled to here, countless.

As the gateway of Guanzhong and the Central Plains into Jingzhou, Wancheng has benefited the most, and has the momentum of replacing Luoyang and Chang'an, and competing with Yizhou, Chengdu and Jingzhou Xiangyang for the first city in the world.

At this moment, in the Taishou Mansion, although most of the places are quiet, the study in the inner courtyard is still brightly lit, Zhang Ji is sitting there straight, accompanied by only his nephew Zhang Xiu.

What their uncle and nephew discussed was exactly where Nanyang should go.

It stands to reason that Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu's uncle and nephew have almost fled to Nanyang since Chang'an was overturned by the veteran Huangfu Song, although it took a lot of effort to drive away Yuan Shu, who was entrenched in Nanyang, so that they could settle down in Nanyang, but nominally speaking, they are guest troops belonging to Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, even if they want to discuss Nanyang's stay and stay, it should be discussed with Liu Biao.

Zhang Ji is a little anxious now, because he knows much more about Xiangyang than the people in the world know, and he himself has studied medical skills, although there is a great distance from famous doctors, he still has the ability to see faces.

In his opinion, the king of Xiangyang, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, is just struggling for life, and he may die at any time.

Zhang Xiu, as Zhang Ji's nephew, has always been raised as a son by Zhang Ji, who has no children, and there is no problem with trust, even he, it was the first time he heard such a secret tonight, and he couldn't help but open his mouth wide and couldn't close it half-loudly.

"Uncle, this, this, the king, it's really ......"

Zhang Ji sighed, nodded and replied: "It is precisely because of this important matter that I have not revealed it to you, and I also hoped that the king would get better, but the secret report I received today, Xiangyang, has begun to prepare for the future." ”

Zhang Xiu was silent for a long time before asking: "In this case, the hussar general and the Yuzhou Mu sent envoys together, but they also heard any rumors?" ”

"It shouldn't be," Zhang Ji shook his head and said, "When I visited the king in the New Year, with the old man's rough medical skills, I seemed to feel that the king's illness was very serious, and it was difficult to have a chance to get better. Although the king has two sons, it seems that it is even more difficult than Yuan Benchu. ”

Zhang Xiu was silent again, the two sons of Liu Biao, the king of Xiangyang, he had seen it, the eldest son Liu Qi, was loyal and filial, and he was a good person, but it could be said that he could take over such a big burden from his father, and Zhang Xiu himself felt that it was difficult. The second son Liu Cong, smart and likable, is now deeply loved by Liu Biao, and because of the daughter of the stepmother Cai since childhood, he has won the favor of the stepmother Cai.

Therefore, Zhang Xiu deeply sympathized with his uncle's words, and he was more pessimistic than his uncle Zhang Jike, because Yuan Shao's three sons, the youngest son Yuan Shang, was also an adult, so he could be sent to Bohai County by Yuan Shao, and Liu Qi would take another year before the crown ceremony, and as for Liu Cong, he was a few years younger.

Once Liu Biao died, Jingzhou was bound to fall into division because Liu Biao was too young to be too young, and when faced with the tigers and wolves that were eyeing him around, Jingzhou was afraid that it would be difficult to protect itself, let alone provide support.

"Alas!"

Zhang Xiu sighed with a little headache, hesitated for a moment, and said to his uncle Zhang Ji: "Uncle, the situation in Xiangyang is also impossible, now that the hussar general and the Yuzhou Mu envoy are in Wancheng, where is my uncle going to go?" ”

"Xiu'er, what do you think?"

Hearing his uncle Zhang Ji's rhetorical question, Zhang Xiu replied without thinking: "In the opinion of the little nephew, of course, it is appropriate to be in Chang'an." ”

"Oh?" Zhang Ji didn't seem surprised at all that he had such an attitude towards Zhang Xiu, his face remained unchanged, and he asked, "Well, you can elaborate." ”

Zhang Xiu regarded the attitude of his uncle Zhang Ji as encouragement, pondered for a moment, and replied: "Hussar general Lu Bu, martial arts and bravery, the staff and subordinates are also extraordinary, since the establishment of King Hongnong in Taiyuan since the enthronement, Dingding Guanzhong, subdued Ma Teng Ma Chao, killed Han Sui, pacified Xiliang, and then subdued the Southern Xiongnu, and chased Xianbei in the north. ”

"Well, what else?"

"Second, Chang'an is the capital of the Han Dynasty, and it is the righteousness to return to the imperial court." Zhang Xiu replied, "Third, the hussar general Lu Bu, who has a lot of connections with his uncle, nephew, and generals, is also stronger than Liu Bei in terms of obedience to him. ”

Three reasons, it is based on strength, righteousness, and affection, but in fact, in the final analysis, the key point is still a good word, Zhang Xiu's words, the implied meaning, did not say it explicitly, but Zhang Ji heard it very clearly in his heart, that is, if he defected to Liu Bei at this time, when the hussar general Lu Bu went east to conquer Liu Bei, he would have a great chance of winning, and at that time, wouldn't it still be attributed to the imperial court, in this case, why not take a step early, so as to win benefits for himself and his family, and make a future.

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Ji laughed and said to Zhang Xiu: "Okay, the virtuous nephew can say these three points, which shows that he usually has no less effort." Well, go and rest first, make a big trouble, and wait for the old man to think about it again, but he is not in a hurry to make a decision in a hurry. ”

"If you don't make a decision, it's too late!"

At this moment, in the depths of the palace in Xiangyang City, Cai Mao had a handsome face and a long body, but her face was anxious, stomping her feet, and shouting at Sister Cai.

In addition to the Cai sisters and brothers, there was no one else in the house, even the maids and maids, all of them were gone, and on the bed, Liu Biao, the king of Xiangyang, was lying there upright, already angry, and he couldn't even raise his fingers.

What Cai is holding in his hand is a silk silk, which still exudes the fragrance of ink, and it is obvious that it is not long when it is written.

In fact, since Liu Biao fell ill, Cai's, Cai Mao, and their cronies have been in front of Liu Biao's sickbed, and whoever Liu Biao wants to see and who can see Liu Biao must be agreed by them.

At the end of the year, Zhang Ji came to Xiangyang, at that time Liu Biao could still sit up half-sitting, if Zhang Ji came again now, whether he could see Liu Biao was a difficult matter.

Cai Shi looked at the book on the silk again, her pretty face was full of evil, her cherry mouth was tight, her silver teeth were clenched, and she turned her head and glanced at her husband Liu Biao on the bed with hatred, and then finally made up her mind to put the silk silk in her hand directly to the flame of the lamp and candle, even if she gritted her teeth, her voice was still charming and crisp.

"Go, take the pen, ink, paper, inkstone, write another copy, and find out, which one is so bold and dares to contribute pen, ink and silk silk privately?"
