Liu Pan left Yuzhang with a disgraced face, with a disappointed mood. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, Liu Biao, who was in Wancheng, was in a good mood, and if he didn't take care of the people around him, he would have wanted to let out a long howl.

After five or six years, I can finally stand on the wall of the first county in Jingzhou and the largest county in the world, overlooking the world. Back then, when I learned that I was appointed as the assassin of Jingzhou, I was simply overjoyed. Although on the bright side, from the middle marquis of the Northern Army to the Jingzhou Thorn History, there is no change in rank, and it can even be said that he has been demoted, because the inspector of the Central Army is not comparable to the Thorn History of other states.

But it also has to be divided into when, put it in that year, it was a fat shortage, because at that time or even earlier, the actual authority of the assassin history changed, and it was not for nothing that the assassin history was really in charge of a state, which can be described as a party of important ministers, for example, Dong Zhuo, who issued an edict to himself, ruled a state as the assassin of Liangzhou. Therefore, it is definitely his luck to get the position of Jingzhou Thorn History.

Because as one of the "Eight Gus" in Qingliu, he did not attach himself to Dong Zhuo, but kept his distance, and of course he did not object.

But it's a pity that he was appointed, but he couldn't take office for a long time, because he was the assassin appointed by Dong Zhuo, and at this moment, the princes of the world rose up to fight for Dong, and Yuan Shu directly occupied Nanyang, and with the support of Sun Jian, he became the most important force in the Dong faction, directly cutting off his own way forward. If it weren't for the purpose of currying favor with Dong and gaining huge political benefits from it, he absolutely believed that Yuan Shu would directly swallow Jingzhou.

It was also his luck that he was lucky enough to get to Jingzhou and got the support of the Jingzhou clan, so he was able to take advantage of the fact that others had no time to pay attention, put Jingzhou under his control, and then gather the strength of the entire Jingzhou to block Yuan Shu.

It's a pity that Nanyang can't be taken back, and Yuan Shu has always been in control of the largest county in the world, which makes Liu Biao weak.

But all the time, he didn't want to take it back. Until today, he finally succeeded.

To be exact, it was only half of the success, because he fought with Zhang Ji in conjunction with him, so he had the confidence to touch Yuan Shu.

But in any case, this is a good start, after all, nowadays, Nanyang is no longer Yuan Shu's.

Liu Biao came here to discuss the division of territory with Zhang Ji.

After capturing Wancheng, the two sides did not stop their troops, but continued to advance northward, Xi'e, Bowang, and Luyang, until Yuan Shu's forces were completely expelled from Nanyang, and then troops were stationed in the border area to prevent Yuan Shu's counterattack.

At this time, Liu Biao came to Wancheng as a victor to receive this honor. Even when he received the news of Liu Pan's defeat, he did not reprimand, but comforted him.

According to the agreement in front of the station, Wancheng is to be owned by Zhang Ji, because there is no territory, only with a tall and strong city like Wancheng, Zhang Ji will have a sense of security in Nanyang. Therefore, after the squad returned, it was Zhang Ji's army that entered Wancheng, and Liu Biao's army was stationed outside the city according to the agreement to prevent Zhang Ji from being unfavorable to Liu Biao.

In terms of strength, at this moment, Liu Biao's army in Nanyang far surpasses Zhang Ji, and it is completely possible to expel Zhang Ji and dominate Nanyang, and even Liu Biao consulted his subordinates with this, not to mention, there are really people who are tempted by this. But in the end, Liu Biao gave up this idea under the persuasion of Kuai Yue, Pang Ji and others, and really started to cooperate with Zhang Ji.

The reasons are none other than these, first of all, the issue of faith, although everything is done on the battlefield, but who will dare to deal with him in the future, which is not good for Liu Biao's diplomacy; Secondly, they have a common enemy, Yuan Shu, if they turn their faces just after victory, they will cheapen Yuan Shu, or it will make Nanyang's ending unpredictable; Again, the cost is too great, the combat effectiveness of the Xiliang army is strong, and the process of attacking is enough to make the Jingzhou army embarrassed, if Zhang Ji is really expelled, Liu Biao needs to spend too much price, and then he is only on his own, worried that he will not be able to resist Yuan Shu's counterattack; And in the end, Kuai Yue and the others were jealous of Zhang Ji, they were worried that even if they made a move, they might not succeed, but instead took on a big grudge and made their situation unfavorable......

Regardless of the reason, in short, Liu Biao really fulfilled the pre-war agreement, and when the forces were not divided, he directly ceded Wancheng to Zhang Ji, indicating his attitude. In this regard, Zhang Ji naturally reciprocated, warmly received Liu Biao, and at this tense time, they traveled to Wancheng together.

The division of forces is also very smooth, the two sides are bounded by Shuishui and Bishui (Mihe), Xinye in the north, and Zhangji in the north of Nanyang, including Wanxian County, a total of 21 counties; The south is owned by Liu Biao, and there are 16 counties close to Jingzhou. After reaching an agreement, Liu Biaoxing returned to Xiangyang with a smile and feasted the guests.

At first glance, Liu Biao definitely suffered a loss, sending more troops than Zhang Ji, and the casualties were greater, but when it came to the actual division of territory, it was not even half. If everything is said to be a rich land, but no matter how rich it is, can it compare to Wancheng?

This is also the result of Liu Biao's initiative to retreat, in order to allow Zhang Ji to have enough territory. Because Zhang Ji came alone, he had broken with the other ministries in Liangzhou, and he had no backers. If he doesn't do this, otherwise Zhang Ji will be destroyed in a battle, what is the point of him giving up Wancheng?

Look at who is around Zhang Ji. To the north is Sun Jian, the fierce tiger of Jiangdong, to the east is Yuan Shu, who wants to take revenge on the shame, and not far away there is Cao Cao, a hero, all of whom are great enemies. If Liu Biao is to defend himself, how much energy and cost will it take. Now, as long as a few counties are ceded, the defense of the north will be completely handled by Zhang Ji, and he only needs to guard against Yuan Shu in the east.

As for Zhang Ji's threat, there is no need to worry at all, the identity of the Xiliang army determines that it is impossible for him to unite with the above families, unless he dies - in history, it is also after his death that Zhang Xiu defected to Cao Cao at the suggestion of Jia Xu.

This is completely an upright conspiracy, even if Zhang Jiming knows Liu Biao's thoughts, he can only accept it. Again, he had no other choice, because Liu Biao was appointed by Dong Zhuo, and he only shouted a few slogans at the beginning, and did not really participate in the discussion of Dong, and the two sides had a basis for cooperation.

Most of Nanyang, even if it is not as good as other semi-states, can withstand two or three counties, so far, Zhang Ji can finally gain a firm foothold in Kanto.

No, he has to wait until he bears Yuan Shu's counterattack.

……

Liu Feng was also a great victory, and after laying defenses at the junction with Jingzhou, he left Zhuge Jin to preside over the post-war reconstruction of southern Yuzhang, and returned to Nanchang with his army.

Yuzhang has been down, the entire Jiangdong is in hand, it is time to recuperate and integrate strength.
