A drizzle ushered in the third year of Jian'an.

With the arrival of the new year, the princes from all walks of life are ready to move again.

In the first month, Yuan Shu privately gave the seal ribbon to the Danyang Sect Marshal Zulang and others, united with Shanyue, and attacked Sun Ce.

In the same month, You Heng was killed by Jiangxia Taishou Huang Zu in Jiangxia, which shocked the world. You Heng, 26 years old, is a native of Pingyuan County.

He is rarely talented in arguing, but he is arrogant and has a strong personality.

In the first year of Jian'an, he traveled to Xudu.

When Cao Cao moved the capital to Xu County, Xu Capital was newly built, and scholars gathered. You Heng is famous for his gas extraction, and he is even respected by Kong Rong, and he has repeatedly recommended Cao Cao. Cao Cao also attaches great importance to You Heng, and wants to summon You Heng several times. But because You Heng hated Cao Cao, he said that he was sick and did not see him, and repeatedly complained about Cao Cao in private, so that Cao Cao gradually degraded from his initial importance to resentment.

However, the well-known allusion of 'beating the drum and scolding Cao in naked clothes' did not appear.

That's just a story made up by Luo Guanzhong and Old Master Luo. Although You Heng is arrogant, and even disgusted with Cao Cao, he is not stupid enough to insult Cao Cao. And Cao Cao really hates You Heng. But You Heng is famous in the world, and Cao Cao does not dare to kill him lightly. So, he recommended You Heng to Liu Biao. Liu Biao is known for his respect for the virtuous and virtuous, so he is also very kind to Youheng......

It's a pity that You Heng's strange problem is unacceptable.

He was contemptuous and offended Liu Biao.

And Liu Biao also knew very well that killing You Heng would inevitably affect his prestige, so he sent You Heng to Jiangxia.

Many people say that Cao Cao borrowed a knife to kill people and killed You Heng by the hand of Liu Biao. But in fact, the real murderer who borrowed a knife was Liu Biao.

Jiangxia is too guarded by Huang Zu and his temperament is impatient.

But. After all, he is also from a scholarly family, so when You Heng first arrived in Jiangxia, Huang Zu also treated him with courtesy.

But But You Heng was pampered and arrogant, and repeatedly humiliated Huang Zu in public. Huang Zu finally killed him in a fit of rage because he couldn't bear to be humiliated by Youheng.

And this killing just happened to Liu Biao's wishes.

At that time, the five families of Jingzhou were closely connected and intertwined. Even if Liu Biao controls Jingzhou, he is also restrained by the five major families, and it is difficult to truly control it. Among the Big Five. The only one who really belongs to Liu Biao is Cai's one. It seems that the other four, although they surrendered to Liu Biao, did not really belong to them. And among them, Huang Zu controlled Jiangxia. Holding soldiers and horses, he has a detached momentum, which gives Liu a headache outside.

As soon as You Heng died, Jingzhou Shilin was shaken, and there were many accusations against Huang Zu.

Even Huang Zu's own brother Huang Yan and Huang Chengyan were very dissatisfied with him, and left Jiangxia with their family in a rage. Seclusion in Wollongong.

And several other major families also expressed indignation at Huang Zu's behavior.

Huang Zu was a little stunned at that time, and in the face of this situation of betrayal and separation, he had to ask Liu Biao for help.

What about Liu Biao?

then took advantage of the situation to accept Huang Zu's investment. Recruiting members of other families to speak and explain to Huang Zu finally saved Huang Zu from trouble.

But as a result, Huang Zu's prestige also plummeted.

In a word. You Heng's death, Liu Biao benefited the most. After subduing Huang Zu. It also represents that Liu Biao's control over Jingzhou has been further strengthened.

It's just that what happened next made Liu Biao feel a deep headache.

"Zirou, Yuanji has really gone too far."

Sitting in the middle hall of the state capital, Liu Biao looked at Kuai Liang under the hall and smiled bitterly: "I asked him to visit Liu Chuang, hoping that he could make friends with Liu Chuang through the relationship of his brother-in-law." Cao Cao is eyeing Nanyang, and sooner or later he will send troops to conquer. At that time, if Liu Chuang can raise troops in Beihai, he will at least be able to contain Cao Cao, so that he will not dare to attack with all his strength. But Yuanji, how can he go to Gaomi to make trouble? ”

Liu Biao, 55 years old, has a gentle appearance and a good appearance.

In the early years, he was known as Bagu along with Tian Lin, Zhang Yin, Xue Yu, Wang Wan, Liu Yi, Xuanjing and Gong Xugong, and was quite famous in Shilin.

'Gu', able to guide others with virtue.

The so-called Eight Gu is a title that the Eastern Han scholars advertise to each other, representing fame and status.

If Liu Biao didn't have the name of Bagu, it was not an easy thing to enter Jingzhou with a horse at the beginning, and it was not an easy thing to pacify Jingzhou.

Kuai Liang also smiled bitterly, "My lord, this time Yuan Jishi was calculated by others, so that such a thing happened.

I mean, like the lord, I also hope that he will make friends with Uncle Liu Huang in the name of his brother-in-law, and can recruit an ally to help the lord...... However, Yuanji did not do this maliciously. Jingzhou and Jiangdong Sun have always had grievances, and he also wants to share the worries of the Lord. ”

Sharing worries?

I'm afraid I'm just causing trouble!

Liu Biao scoffed, but his face showed a look of deep disapproval.

Sun Ce was rampant in Jiangdong, and his power became stronger and stronger. But in Liu Biao's opinion, he is a kid after all, and there will be no threat to the root.

He dared to kill Sun Jian back then, how could he care about Sun Ce?

In terms of talent, can Sun Ce be stronger than Sun Jian?

Liu Biao waved his hand and said: "Zirou don't worry, Liu Beihai is just detaining Yuanji now, but he is not embarrassed by him."

If Meng Yan really wanted to poison Yuan Ji, he would not have sent someone to inform him...... I think at the beginning, I also had a good relationship with the Marquis of Zhongling. Presumably, he won't lose face with me. It's just that Yuanji did too much this time, Meng Yan got married, but he was making trouble in Gaomi, and if he were me, I am afraid I would be angry. However, since Meng Yan sent someone over, Yuan Ji would not be worried about his life...... By the way, do you know Gan Ning's person? ”

"Gan Ning?"

Kuai Liang was stunned, and after a while, he shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It's the first time I've heard this name." ”

"Help me inquire about this person."

"Oh?"

"Liu Beihai asked me for two people, and I knew about one of them, but Gan Ning was the other, but I didn't know where to come."

"But I don't know, those two?"

Liu Biao smiled slightly, "One is Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng of Youxian County, this person is a Zhonglang general under the giant stone tent, an old pawn; The other is Gan Ning, it is said that Meng Yan had received his kindness in his early years, so he wanted to find this person and repay the kindness. It's just that I've never heard of it. ”

"Gan Ning?"

Kuai Yue, who had been sitting in the middle hall and was silent, suddenly said: "But the word Xingba? ”

"Exactly." When Liu Biao and Kuai Liang heard this, they couldn't help but look at Kuai Yue in surprise: "Different degrees, do you know this person?" ”

Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang are brothers. However, when it comes to experience, Kuai Yue is stronger than Kuai Liang. He is cautious and wise, brilliant and majestic. At the beginning, the great general He Jin heard the name of Kuai Yue and recruited him as the general of the East Cao Peng. Kuai Yue even persuaded He Jin to kill the Ten Standing Attendants, but He Jin hesitated. It was precisely because of this incident that Kuai Yue knew that He Jin could not succeed and would be killed sooner or later, so he left Luoyang.

When Liu Biao entered Jingzhou, he received a lot of help from the Kuai brothers.

He once praised Kuai Liang for having the theory of Yongji. It was also said that Kuai Yue had a plan to commit crimes, which can be described as Liu Biao's right-hand man.

Kuai Yue said: "If this Gan Ning is a tyrant, I know this person."

"Oh?"

"Jing Sheng still remembers that in the first year of Xingping, the five surnames of Ba County rebelled against Liu Zhang?"

Kuai Yue once served as the East Cao Peng of the General's Mansion. And Liu Biao has also been a general, so the relationship between the two is far closer than others.

Liu Biao was stunned for a moment and said, "What did the different degrees say was the rebellion of Humao?" ”

"Exactly."

The rebellion of Hu Mao mentioned by Liu Biao was actually the first year of Xingping, in 194 AD, after Liu Yan's death, Liu Zhang acted as the assassin of Yizhou. Then. Chang'an sent Yingchuan native Hu Mao to take over the Yizhou Assassin History, and Jingzhou did not drive Liu Qian, Liu Zhang's general Shen Mi and others to rebel, but they were defeated by Liu Zhang.

Kuai Yue said: "That Gan Ning is one of the five surnames of Ba County, a disciple of the Gan family.

After the rebellion. Gan Ning led 800 servants to Jingzhou and stayed in Nanyang...... Hehe, if Jingsheng still can't remember, can you know that the Jinfan thief of Naba County? ”

"Bajun Jinfan thief?"

Liu Biao listened. suddenly realized, and immediately showed disdain.

Of course he knew the name of the brocade thief. At the same time, I also remembered what kind of character Gan Ning was.

Gan Ning, whose ancestral home is Nanyang, Jingzhou, and his ancestors lived in Linjiang County, Ba County, and the four surnames of Yan, Yang, and Du are collectively known as the five surnames of Ba County.

This Gan Ning has little strength, he is a ranger, and he has done a trick and made up for the position of Shu Juncheng. It's just that this Gan Ning is not easy to bind, and after abandoning the official and returning home, he gathered a group of teenagers and wandered around. Because of its entry and exit on foot, the Chen train rides, the water line connects the light boat, and the clothes are splendid.

When staying, the boat is tied with brocade silk, and when it leaves, it is cut and abandoned, so it is called the brocade thief.

This person was extremely arrogant in Ba County, and it lasted faintly for ten years.

After the Humao Rebellion, Gan Ning fled Ba County and returned to Jingzhou. However, Liu Biao was disgusted with his arrogance and refused to requisition, so he returned to his hometown to study.

Liu Biao originally thought that Liu Chuang was asking for something, but he was an old pawn and a thief......

There was a hint of contempt in my heart.

"If these two people, they will be sent to Liu Chuang."

Kuai Liang naturally would not refuse, and nodded again and again.

As long as he can exchange his son back, in his opinion, there is no need to worry about Huang Zhong or Gan Ning.

But Kuai Yue's heart was a little curious, so he got up and said: "Jingsheng, it's better to summon Huang Zhong Ganning over and send Gao Mi with me." ”

"Xenomorphism, why did it go high? Could it be that Liu Chuang is also curious? ”

Kuai Yue smiled: "Back then, I had the guidance of the Marquis of Zhongling, and I could be regarded as Liu Beihai's fellow disciple.

Yuanji made a mistake, and I, as an uncle, have to go over again, one is to apologize, and the other is to visit this person. ”

When Liu Biao heard this, he didn't think too much about it, so he nodded and agreed.

He immediately ordered people to go to Changsha to recruit Huang Zhong to come, and ordered people to conquer Ganning from Nanyang.

Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang walked out of the state capital together and boarded the carriage.

As soon as he got in the car, Kuai Liang couldn't help but ask: "Xenodu, why did this good end go to Gaomi in person?" Since Liu Chuang sent a messenger, he would never embarrass Yuanji. ”

Kuai Yue lifted the curtain of the car and ordered Hu Cong to be on guard around the carriage.

"Zirou, of course I know that Yuanji will not be in danger, how can Liu Mengyan really be embarrassed by him at this time?

He detained Yuanji, in fact, to ask for an explanation. To be honest, Yuan Ji did go too far in Gaomi this time, and if I were Liu Chuang, I would never give up. When he comes back, you have to teach him a lesson. Zhuge Niangzi now can be regarded as having a backer. He used to be idle all day long, messing with flowers and grass, and he didn't have to pursue it. But in the future, you must no longer snub Zhuge Niangzi. ”

When Kuai Liang heard this, he showed a look of surprise.

"What Xenomorph says is very true, and I will teach him a lesson."

However, he changed his words and said softly: "But you don't have to go to Gaomi in person?" ”

Kuai Yue sighed, "Zirou, I thought I was Kuai now." What is the status? ”

Kuai Liang smiled: "Liu Jingzhou relies on us very much, maybe you and I are not as favored as the Cai family now, but it can be regarded as a solid foundation." ”

After he said this, he suddenly understood something, "Xeno, you ......"

"Is it solid?"

Kuai Yue sneered, "Others can't see the ingenuity of You Heng's death, can't my brother see it either?" ”

"This ......"

"The five families of Jingzhou, I'm afraid except for the Cai family. will be suspicious of Jingsheng.

It's just that he needed us to stabilize the situation in Jingzhou before, so he was quite indulgent. Now that his position is solid, how can he share Jingxiang with us again? He borrowed the hand of Huang Zu to kill You Heng, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. You weigh this person. It's too contemptuous, and I don't like it, but why bother sending it to Jiangxia? That clearly wants Huang Zu to get rid of You Heng, and at the same time, it can also hit the prestige of the Huang family.

Didn't you see that even Chengyan left Jiangxia and lived in seclusion in Wollongong?

Huang's one by one, the crown of Jiangxia. Now Huang retired. Wu Huang is attached to ...... Hehe, Jiangxia Huang, I'm afraid it will be difficult to recover again. ”

When Kuai Liang heard this, he was immediately silent!

He's not a fool. How could it be impossible not to see Liu Biao's intentions.

It's just that he doesn't want to admit it, so he shrinks up and pretends not to know.

But now......

"That Xenomorph wants ......"

Kuai Yue smiled: "Zirou don't worry, I don't have any other ideas."

Anyway. Liu Jingsheng still relies on you, at least for the short term. Don't worry. I just want to go to Gaomi and observe Liu Mengyan by the way. If this person can succeed in the future, he can also win some friendships and make some preparations for the Kuai family in the future. In the end, you and I will pin the future of the Kuai family on Liu Jingsheng alone. If Liu Mengyan is the one who has made things happen, why not make friends earlier? ”

Kuai Liang thought about it, and also felt that Kuai Yue had some sense.

Indeed, with Liu Biao's position stable, he is bound to attack the five surnames of Jingzhou.

Unless his Kuai family is willing to completely surrender to Liu Biao and become a vassal of Liu Biao like the Cai family, sooner or later he will be calculated by Liu Biao......

Kuai Liang also knows this.

However, is Liu Chuang really worth entrusting?

Kuai's conscience was a little apprehensive. But no matter what, it is imperative for Kuai Yue to take this trip to Gaomi, whether it is for Kuai Qi or for the future of the Kuai family.

Thinking of this, Kuai Liang's heart felt a sense of heaviness.

Jingzhou seems to be calm now, but who knows how long this calm can last?

As soon as you go to Gaomi, let's do it after you return to Jingzhou...... From the current point of view, it is better to maintain the status quo!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

February is stunned, and spring ploughing begins.

This year, the area of tuntian in Beihai has tripled compared with last year.

The population of Beihai Kingdom and Donglai County has also increased by more than 100,000 after last year's tuntian, and the total population of the two counties has reached as much as 600,000, and it has ushered in the second wave of tuntian. Not only Beihai is in Tuntian, but even Lu Bu in Xuzhou also has the idea of Tuntian.

After the beginning of spring, Lu Bu sent people to come again, hoping to get the seeds of Shu millet.

In this regard, Liu Chuang did not have any concerns, and agreed to Lu Bu's request without saying a word, and at the same time awarded Huang Zhen as a pawn agricultural order, and sent Wu Anguo and Xiao Ling to accompany him to protect him, and went to Xiapi to assist Lu Bu in implementing Tuntian. Lu Bu was naturally very grateful, and thanked Liu Chuang again and again. Of course, Liu Chuang did not lend Huang Zhenbai to Lu Bu, he implored Lu Bu to let Gao Shun stay in Gaomi for half a year.

Xiong Zhenjun has seen the prototype.

But whether it is Gao Shun or Xu Chu, including Liu Chuang, they are not very satisfied.

Lu Bu and Liu Chuang are now a family, Liu Chuang borrowed him 100,000 yuan of grain at the end of last year, and this year he sent someone to help him open up the wasteland. This affection and relationship are here, and Lu Bu immediately agreed, asking Gao Shun to help Liu Chuang train Xiong Zhenjun thoroughly before returning to Xiapi.

Liu Chuang was immediately satisfied.

The big wedding has long passed, and Liu Chuang is now a family man.

After starting a family, Liu Chuang became more and more calm...... After the New Year, Xun Chen left Gaomi. However, he did not return to Qi County, but took his wife and children and went back to Yecheng directly.

Before leaving, Xun Chen told Liu Chuang: "I am ready to ask Yuan Gong for his life and take up the post of Bohai Taishou."

You need to be more careful when I'm gone...... Although you helped the eldest prince last time, the eldest prince was not very satisfied with you.

I'm in Qi County, and I can coordinate it for you; Now that I am leaving, I will depend on you alone.

Remember not to compete with the eldest prince, if there is anything, you may as well contact Zhongzhi in private, I believe he will not stand idly by. ”

Liu Chuang knew that Xun Chen was going to Bohai to fight for himself.

In the Bohai region, the situation is also complicated, although Xun Chen is resourceful, but after all, he is a little alone.

"When you go to Bohai, you need to be careful.

It's better to let Wei Yue and Hou Qian pass with you. Although the two of them are not as brave as Brother Tiger and Ziyi, they are also the choice of generals. With the help of the two of them, I can rest assured that my father-in-law will go to Bohai. This child's mind, please don't shirk it. ”

Xun Chen cares for Liu Chuang from the bottom of his heart.

For Liu Chuang, he went to the Bohai Sea to fight an outpost...... How could Liu Chuang not be aware of this love?

It's just that Tai Shici and Xu Chu now have tasks and can't get out. After thinking about it, Liu Chuang still decided to let Wei Yue and Hou Qian follow.

Xun Chen did not refuse this.

After fifteen, Xun Chen took Wei Yue and Hou Qian and left Gaomi.

Prior to this, Tian Feng and Yuan Shang's Hebei Mission, as well as the Jiangdong Mission, had left separately.

As for Xun Yan, Guo Jia and others, they left on the second day after Liu Chuang's wedding, and when they left, Guo Jia looked at Liu Chuang's gaze, which was extremely unkind.

But so what?

Are you the only one who is allowed to calculate me? Won't you allow me to take revenge?

Although Liu Chuang likes Guo Jia very much, it does not mean that he will bow his head in front of Guo Jia.

Since you, Guo Jia, want to be my enemy, then don't blame me for humiliating you...... Everyone has a different position, so they will use their own means to see who can laugh in the end.

Therefore, Liu Chuang did not take this matter to heart.

After sending Xun Chen away, Liu Chuang began to work on the Tuntian plan...... This busyness lasted until February.
