Zhao Xing's "black form" did not bring down Yuan Shu, but it also preemptively blocked the mouths of various forces in the imperial court. What Zhao Xing didn't expect was that he fired at Yuan Shu and hit the bird's nest on the tree, but the falling bird's egg hit another person in the court. This person's name is Liu Biao, the word Jingsheng, a native of Gaoping, Shanyang (now Weishan County, Shandong.

Liu Biaozi looks gentle and weiwei, and is well-known in the world when he is young, and eight scribes from the same county, including Zhang Yin, Xue Yu, Wang Wan, Xuanjing, Gong Chu Gong, Liu Yi, Tian Lin, etc., are called "Eight Gu" by the world. The new general He Jin felt that he was born as a butcher, and the staff in the palace were quite sparse compared with the Yuan family, the Cao family and other clans, and there were few celebrities, so he recruited the world's talents. Because Liu Biao is very famous, and he is a descendant of Liu She, the king of Lugong, and a veritable clan member of the Han family, he was opened by He Jin as Cao Peng, the general's mansion, and served as a candidate in the Northern Army.

When the Yellow Turban Disaster 1u-n was in the world, Wang Rui, the original assassin of Jingzhou, was killed by the people of 1u-n, until recently, Huangfu Song pacified the Nanyang Yellow Turban Disaster 1u-n, and the road between the imperial court and Jingzhou was opened again, and it was necessary to quickly appoint an assassin to go to Jingzhou to preside over the overall situation of suppressing bandits. Originally, Yuan Kui, together with Zhang Wen and Wang Yun and others, was ready to strongly recommend Yuan Shu to Jingzhou to serve as the assassin, but he didn't expect Zhao Xing to say that Yuan Shu was "very afraid of the yellow scarf, disregarded the people, abandoned the city and fled", and did not sue Yuan Shu, but sent an excuse to He Jin, who wanted to promote and reuse his own people.

He Jin took Han Yin and Lei Bo's recitals, pointed to his nose and asked Yuan Kui, Zhang Wen and others, which made everyone discouraged and didn't dare to tell the difference. Subsequently, He Jin went to the crown prince and Emperor Ling, and recommended Liu Biao to serve as the assassin of Jingzhou. Soon after, the imperial court issued an appointment document, and Liu Biao, who had been waiting for more than 20 years for politics and officials, was now over the age of huhu-, and finally ushered in his own bsp; Although the Nanyang Yellow Turbans blocking the road to Jingzhou have basically subsided, there are still bandits and robbers rampant in some places. Liu Biao could not take office directly, so he rushed to Jingzhou anonymously and celibately, and went through some ups and downs to take office.

When Liu Biao first arrived in Jingzhou, the water bandits and bandits in the Jiangnan area were very prosperous, and they each occupied a city and a place and claimed to be the king, which was very ho;n1u-n. Su Daimou, a native of Wudi, usurped the position of Changsha Taishou, and Bei Yu grabbed the position of Huarong County Commander, and they each recruited many soldiers from the homeless people, and defended the city according to the city, and they were a disaster in the local area.

In order to quickly quell the rebellion 1u-n in Jingzhou, Liu Xianqi rode into Yicheng and conspired with Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue brothers from Luxian County, and Cai Mao from Xiangyang.

Kuai Liang (Zi Rou, a native of Zhonglu in Nanjun, is the brother of Kuai Yue, his people are resourceful, jīng is astronomical, and extremely good at horses.

Kuai Yue (the word is different, a native of Zhonglu in Nanjun, is the younger brother of Kuai Liang, and his people are deep and wise, and he is brave and majestic.

Cai Mao (the word Deqi, Xiangyang Caizhou (now Xiangyang, Hubei. The son of Cai Wei, a famous M-N Wang clan in Jingzhou, and his aunt (Cai Wei's sister is the wife of Sikong Zhang Wen, and the eldest sister is married to Huang Chengyan, a famous scholar in Jingxiang (Zhuge Liang's father-in-law is the stepfamily.

Liu Biao asked the three of them: "In the land of Jingzhou, the sect and thieves are very prosperous, and the masses are not attached, and now the disaster has come to us! I y--I am here to recruit troops and recruit traitors, but I am afraid that they will not be able to gather, what is your best plan?"

Kuai Liang said: "The reason why the masses do not attach themselves is because of the lack of benevolence, and the reason why the masses are dependent and cannot prosper is because of the lack of righteousness; if the way of benevolence and righteousness can be practiced, then the people will return like the downward trend of the water, so why worry about the people who come and ask the strategy of raising the army?"

Liu Biao asked Kuai Yue again, and Kuai Yue said: "Those who govern peace take benevolence and righteousness first, and those who govern 1u-n take power and scheming first." There are not many soldiers, but they can win their people. Su Dai and Bei Yu are both brave warriors, so there is nothing to worry about. The thieves are greedy and violent, and their subordinates have very few supporters. I have some people under my command who are usually cultivated, and if they are sent to show their benefit, the sect thief leader will definitely come with the crowd. The king will punish those who have no way, and then use them with others. In this way, the people of Jingzhou are happy to stay in this state, and when they learn that the envoy is virtuous, he will definitely help the old and the weak. Then the soldiers will gather and attach the people, according to Jiangling in the south, Xiangyang in the north, and the eight counties of Jingzhou can be passed on!"

Cai Mao also said: "There are many heroes in the land of Jingxiang, and there are three people recommended to the envoy today, all of whom are rare good ministers and famous generals, and they can assist the king to level Jingzhou's 1u-n as soon as possible!"

When Liu Biao heard Cai Mao's words, he couldn't help but be moved, and asked urgently: "Please also ask De Jue to explain the details." ”

Cai Mao replied: "The first person, Nanyang County (now Li Yan, Nanyang, Henan, the word is square, is now a small official of Nanyang County, and his people have good strategies for governing politics and the army, and he is a rare talent. The second person, Nanyang Wancheng is hired by humanities, the word Zhongye, his people are good at commanding the army, governing the army in a good way, loyal and humble, and he is also a rare good general. The third person, Xiangyang Yicheng (now Ma Liang, south of Yicheng, Hubei, the word Ji Chang. He has five brothers, all of whom are famous. There is a white m-o in Ma Liang's eyebrows, and there is a proverb in the township: 'Ma's five constants, white eyebrows are the best', and Ma Liang can be said to be five people!"

Liu Biao sighed: "Zirou's words can be described as Yongji's theory. The plan of the different degrees can be described as the strategy of the murderer. Deju's recommendation can be described as a move by Guan Zhong. So he worshiped Kuai Liang for the governance of the middle of the country, worshiped Kuai Yue for Cao Cao, and worshiped Cai Mao for Hu Cao

Subsequently, Liu Biao sent Cai Mao to recruit Li Yan and Wen Ping on his behalf, and he personally went to visit the Ma family in Yicheng, where he stopped. After Cai Mao's patient persuasion, Li Yan and Wen Ping came to Liu Biao, and brought a Nanyang fellow Huang Zhong (the word Hansheng. The Ma clan admired Liu Biao's reputation and agreed to fund and assist Liu Biao in governing Jingzhou.

Liu Biao was very happy when he saw Li Yan and Wen Ping, and felt that these two people were very majestic, talked decently, and could lead the army, so he worshiped Li Yan as a driver in Jingzhou, worshiped Wen Ping as Wei Cao, and the veteran Huang Zhong was also appointed.

After forming his own team, Liu Biao quickly recruited 10,000 soldiers with the funding of the Cai family, the Kuai family, the Ma family and other big families in Jingzhou, and Jiao was trained day and night by Li Yan and Wen Ping.

Liu Biao also asked Kuai Yue to send people to the various places that rebelled against 1u-n to lure the leaders of y-u thieves and bandits to Yicheng to accept officials, and the bold and reckless thieves from all over the country r-um-ng heart, really came more than 50, and Huang Zhong, who was ambushed in Yicheng, led 2,000 soldiers to capture all of them, and beheaded them all in front of the people. Subsequently, Li Yan and Wen Ping immediately led 4,000 soldiers each to attack the bandits who rebelled against 1U-N, or recruited a small force willing to defect to Liu Biao.

After half a year of purging, Liu Biao's corporal was expanded from 10,000 to 20,000. The two forces of Su Dai and Bei Yu have been wiped out by Li Yan and Wen Ping, who are good at using soldiers, and only the Jiangxia thieves Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng are left to defend Xiangyang City. Liu Biao also sent Kuai Yue and Pang Ji to ride alone to say surrender, Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng were afraid of Liu Biao's 20,000 army, and under the coaxing and intimidation of Kuai Yue and Pang Ji, they bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes, expressing their willingness to give up Xiangyang and serve Liu Biao.

Liu Biaobing won Xiangyang City without blood, and then moved the Jingzhou administrative office to Xiangyang, and since then all parts of the south of the Yangtze River have been calm, and Liu Biao has recruited capable people to govern the prefectures and counties, and has devoted himself to the construction of internal affairs, waiting for the situation in the world to change.
