Liu Dou asked Hu Ban and learned that the current Wuling Taishou was Liu Du, that is, the lord of Xing Daorong, the former general of Lingling.

A few years ago, after the death of Jin Xuan, the former Taishou of Wuling, Liu Bei ordered Liu Du to go to Wuling to take over the post of Taishou, so as to prevent Liu Du from becoming the emperor of Lingling and breeding rebellion.

After Liu Du arrived in Wuling to take up his post, Liu Bei sent a man named Fan Zhou to Wuling to serve as a lieutenant, in charge of the soldiers and horses, and did not let Liu Du monopolize power.

After Liu Du was transferred, Liu Bei appointed Hao Pu to Wuling to serve as the Taishou, and assigned him a lieutenant named Xi Zhen to command the soldiers and horses in Wuling City.

Liu Dou is not familiar with the characters of the Three Kingdoms, but he also knows it well, and he took the time to go back to the house to check the history books, and basically grasped the officials of the two counties of Lingling and Wuling.

Lingling Taishou Hao Pu was handpicked by his cheap father Liu Bei, and he has excellent political ability, and he has made Lingling's governance smooth over the years.

Compared with his excellent political ability, Hao Pu's ability to command troops is very average.

However, Liu Bei assigned him a loyal and righteous man who was very capable of fighting as the commander of the army, surnamed Xi Mingzhen.

After the death of Guan Yu's father and son Maicheng, Xi Zhenning did not surrender, according to the city, in the face of the siege of Wu general Xu Sheng, he held on for more than a month, and finally ran out of food, killed himself, and was called a loyal and righteous man by the history books.

Liu Dou believes that if Guan Yu was not killed in battle, Jiangling was lost, and Lingling lost foreign aid, Xi Zhen would have been able to hold out for at least three or five months.

After all, there are 3,000 soldiers in Lingling City, as long as Guan Yu is still there and Jiangling is still there, Lingling's military spirit will not collapse, and he will be able to continue fighting.

Xu Sheng led a triple enemy, and it was never easy to break through the city!

Even if Xu Sheng was able to gnaw this bone in the end, his 10,000 Wu soldiers would have to pay the price of nearly half of the loss.

Compared with the pair of Lingling, Liu Du and Fan Zhou of Wuling are not so reassuring.

Wuling Taishou Liu Du is an old fritter in the officialdom, and he is okay with governing the place, and his ability to use troops is estimated to be inferior to a school captain.

Fan Xuan, who was in charge of commanding the troops, was a person who could speak well, and had a certain friendship with Pan Jun, but in the end, he was killed by Pan Jun, who surrendered to Wu, with 5,000 men and horses, and successfully conquered Wuling and presented a letter of surrender to the "King of Wu of Great Wei".

It can be seen that Fan Zhou is not even a third-rate general.

Pan Jun's political ability is okay, and his ability to command troops is at most third-rate, Fan Xuan can't even beat him, how can he withstand Ding Feng, who is getting older and more demonic?

Once Wuling is lost, Lingling's connection with Nanjun will be cut off, and Hao Pu and Xi Zhen will once again be isolated, so Liu Dou thinks that if he wants to keep Lingling, he must try to keep Wuling.

Since Liu Du and Fan Xuan can't beat Ding Feng, can Pan Jun, who is one grade stronger, be the main general?

Of course, because of the lack of road guides, he failed to follow Zhang Fei and Liu Dou into the city, and Deng Ai, who was arranged to be on standby outside the city, was a more suitable candidate.

Even if he is still young, perhaps his ability to command troops is still growing, but it is more than enough to deal with Ding Feng.

It's just that Deng Ai is a cloth cloth, so let him take over the city defense of Wuling, Liu Du, Fan Zhou and others will definitely not buy it, after all, Liu Dou only has Nanjun Taishou Seal in his hands, and he has no right to appoint Wuling Taishou of the same level.

However, Pan Jun's identity is engaged in Jingzhou's governance, and he is the second-in-command of Jingzhou, and it is easier for him to take Deng Ai to Wuling to take over the defense, which is easier for Wuling's civil and military officials to accept.

Wait for Deng Ai to become famous, make contributions, and then be promoted, then it will be a matter of course.

This is Liu Dou's plan to stick to the second county of Jingnan, the key to success or failure lies in Pan Jun, as long as he is willing to go to Wuling to serve as the taishou, then it will not be easy for Ding Feng to break the city.

"Since Sun Quan can move him, then Lao Tzu can also draw a gourd in the same way, regardless of whether he has a backbone in the back of his head, use it once first. ”

As soon as he thought of this, Liu Dou Huoran got up and summoned Sima Ang, who was about to go out, "This lord, Dou will go with you to visit Pan Zhizhong." ”

"Huh...... Dare to ask Childe who is?"

Sima Ang didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly gave a salute.

Zhang Fei cleared his throat at this time, glanced at the full hall of civil and military, and said loudly: "You listen to me, he is Liu Dou, the eldest son of the King of Hanzhong who was lost in Xiapi back then, and his words are promoted." ”

"It turned out to be the eldest son?"

The full hall of civil and military affairs was both unexpected and not surprising, because anyone with a discerning eye could see that this young man looked too much like Liu Bei.

Look at this pair of big ears, these eyebrows, these eyes are almost similar to Wang Qicheng in Hanzhong, and these knee-length arms, it is completely Uncle Liu Huang, who is thirty years younger.

It's just that most people didn't expect Liu Dou to be the eldest son of the lord, and they all thought he was an illegitimate child!

In the era of the late Han Dynasty, the identity of the son-in-law and the concubine was much worse, not to mention the nameless illegitimate son, since this Liu Shengzhi is the eldest son of the king, is the position of the son of the world variable?

The civil and military officers in the hall made a salute one after another: "It turned out that the eldest son came to Jiangling, I was clumsy, don't blame it!"

Liu Dou hurriedly bowed and returned the salute, respectfully: "You don't have to be polite, Dou is polite." ”

Zhang Fei patted the table dissatisfiedly and said, "This Pan Jun is late, does he despise me Zhang Yide, or despise my eldest nephew?"

Seeing the sweat on his forehead, Sima Ang raised his sleeve to wipe it, and explained: "Pan Chengming didn't know that General Zhang was coming, let alone the arrival of the eldest son, otherwise how would he dare to slack off? Moreover, he has been very cold for the past few days, and he has not gotten out of bed for three or four days, but Ang believes that when he hears the drums, he will definitely come here to discuss matters." ”

Zhang Fei sighed irritably, and said in a deep voice: "I'll tell you the truth, why did I, Zhang Yide, suddenly appear in Jiangling? Because the Wu thieves had already pressed the border, Fu Shiren surrendered without a fight, and the public security fell. By tomorrow evening at the latest, the forward troops of the Wu army will be under the city of Jiangling. ”

"Ah...... Jiangdong actually betrayed his word and attacked us during the Northern Expedition of the Prince?"

"Jiangdong rats are really not credible, Sun Quan is simply a shameless villain!"

"Fu Shiren is a fellow countryman of the king, even if he doesn't die for his country, he can't surrender without a fight, right?

"It's not good, there are only 4,000 people in Jiangling City, and the Wu army is coming so quickly, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold on, how can this be good?"

"What are you afraid of? Isn't this General Yide coming, I believe that the reinforcements have arrived, and we will perform our duties and wait for the dispatch. ”

Zhang Fei's voice fell, and the whole hall was in an uproar, some people were angry, some people were panicked, and some people were calm.

"This Wu dog has been killed at the foot of the city wall, and you are still dragging mud and water...... Hmph, what a disappointment for me!"

Zhang Fei angrily took the burden handed over by Guan Suo, slapped it heavily on the table, and said loudly: "Nanjun Taishou Mi Fang colluded with Fu Shiren to conspire to sacrifice the city and surrender his grandson, I have already taken him down with Adou, and sent someone to escort him to Chengdu overnight to hand him over to the king for punishment." ”

"This, this...... Mi Envoy Jun is the king's brother-in-law, is there a misunderstanding?"

"Mi Zifang has been with the king for more than 20 years, how could he do such a traitorous thing to seek glory? I am afraid that there are spies and slanders, and General Yide must find out. ”

He and Fu Shiren have been very close in recent years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are like brothers and sisters, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be bewitched by Fu Shiren and become treasonous. ”

"But no, when the prince went out on the expedition in the summer, the granary caught fire for no reason, and some people suspected that Mi and Fu had nothing to do with this matter, maybe he did something to collaborate with the enemy and treason because of this matter. ”

There was a commotion in the conference hall again, some people scolded, some questioned, and some regretted, and for a while people were moved and uneasy.

Zhang Fei set his eyes on Song Yi, Gao Wan, and Jingzhou Gong Cao Huangqi, who belonged to Mi Fang's dead party, and said coldly: "I know that you are all Mi Fang's cronies, and he single-handedly promoted you. Now that Mi Fang has been captured, what do you think?"

Frightened, Huang Qi hurriedly made a salute, Song Yi and Gao Wan knelt on one knee together, and Huang Qi, who was eloquent, made a defense.

"General Yide Mingjian, although we were promoted by Mi Fang, we are all Hanchen, not his retainers. Don't say that Mi Fang has been captured, even if General Yide is not in Jingzhou, how can we let him do whatever he wants?

"Exactly, exactly, how can we do the act of betraying the glory of the Lord. Song Yi echoed Gao Wan together.

Liu Dou also knew that what these people said was insincere, and in history, when Mi Fang opened the door and surrendered, no one stood up to stop it, but there were many loyal people who died in Lingling and Wuling.

But Liu Dou understands the truth that "when the water is clear, there are no fish", and it is a wise means to appease people's hearts and accept them for use in the current situation of the great enemy.

"Huh...... It is rare to have a few loyal people to serve the country, and they are very gratified. ”

Liu Dou bowed to the three of them again, "A few of them are still in their original positions, but I have ordered Hu Ban to serve as the deputy general of the city, and the four gates of Jiangling are all dispatched from him." ”

Hu Ban is a general appointed by Guan Yu, and his status is originally above the two captains of Song Yi and Gao Wan, so the two naturally dare not have any objections, and they huddle their fists together to receive orders: "Obey the dispatch of the eldest son." ”

Seeing that several of Mi Fang's henchmen were obedient to Liu Doufu, Zhang Fei continued: "Now that the army is pressing, I have decided to let Shengzhi serve as the Taishou of Nanjun, command the army and civilians of the whole city, work together to resist the enemy under the city wall, which of you is not convinced?"

Mi Fang has been escorted to Chengdu, who of the officials present dares to disagree?

Immediately, he brushed his hands and made a gesture: "We are only the eldest son, the head of the horse, and the thief together!"

Liu Dou said: "Pan Zhizhong is the pillar of Jingzhou, and it is very important for the defense of Jingzhou. You will first discuss with the third uncle here how to defend against the enemy, and then go to Pan's Mansion with Master Sima. ”

Although Zhang Fei is sometimes reckless, he is not stupid, he understands that this is Liu Dou's order to buy people's hearts, so he has no choice but to let him, "Go and come back quickly." ”

The full hall of civil and military people once again hugged their fists to Liu Dou: "Corporal Lixian, the eldest son, we are deeply moved, presumably Pan Chengming will also be greatly encouraged to kill the thief with illness." ”
