Chapter 293: Sorrow from the Outside

After taking the three southern counties of Jingzhou, Taishan ordered Guan Wei and others, who were guarding the three counties, to prepare for the eventual death of Yuan Biao, and immediately raised troops to assist Taishan in attacking Xiangyang together. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Perhaps it was Taishan's pious prayer that played a role, and three days later, Yuan Biao really died and traveled westward with a crane. After getting the news, Taishan was very sad on the surface, but he was happy in his heart, pretending to endure his grief, and hid in the tent alone, not allowing others to enter, as for whether Taishan was crying or laughing alone in the tent, then only Taishan himself knew.

After coming out of the tent, Taishan immediately gathered the soldiers and horses of the three southern counties, held high the banner of killing Cai Mao's rebels and avenging Yuan Biao and Yuan Qi's father and son, and began to besiege Xiangyang in a grand manner, blatantly seizing power. After the death of Yuan Biao, the Kuai family, who had always been at odds with the Cai family, under the leadership of the Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue brothers, rebelled out of Xiangyang and took refuge in Mount Tai. Taishan was very pleased with the surrender of the Kuai brothers, and immediately appointed the two as staff officers in the army. With the Kuai brothers as an example, those who felt that the general trend had gone and were good at protecting themselves with wisdom and wisdom fled out of the city one after another to pay allegiance to Mount Tai.

You can't blame the Kuai brothers and others for being spineless, when the Yuan Biao was still alive, the family they represented was incompatible with the Cai family represented by Cai Mao, but at that time the Yuan Biao could also reconcile the contradictions of all parties very well, and now without the Yuan Table, Cai Mao has seized the military and political power of Jingzhou, and the Kuai brothers and others have to think about their future way out. I'm afraid it won't be long before their heads are about to move, and between life and death, of course they have to choose to serve Mount Tai.

There are also some officials in Jingzhou who usually have a good relationship with Taishan, such as the Yi nationality, the Yi nationality was the first to take refuge in Mount Tai after the Kuai brothers, and the Yi nationality did not come alone, he also brought his friend Ma Liang, and the naval military captain Wen Ping. Tarzan is also very important to these two people. For such talents, Taishan will not be too much. In Jingzhou, there are still several officials like Yi. They were all depressed people under the rule of Yuan Biao, and they felt that under Yuan Cong or Cai Mao, they would not have any future, so they simply stood on Mount Tai's side.

In just a few days, more than 30 Wenchen military generals who came from all over Jingzhou to surrender made Taishan energetic and began to use troops to Xiangyang, and as soon as the battle began, Cai Yao ordered all the families of the city's Chinese Wu to be forcibly brought to the prefecture to prevent anyone from leaving the city and surrendering to Taishan. Unexpectedly, Cai Mao's decision made some swing people who wandered in the middle completely lose hope in Cai Mao, and secretly reached an agreement with Taishan, they will secretly open the city gate to welcome Taishan into Xiangyang, drink and peck, all the heavens are determined.

Under the cooperation of the inside and outside, Cai Mao's persistence lasted only one day, and then it failed, Cai Mao himself was also killed by Guan Wei, and more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians in Xiangyang belonged to Mount Tai. The first thing Taishan did after entering Xiangyang was to copy the Cai family, and the Cai family was all copied and beheaded, and no one was left. As for Yuan Cong, Taishan did not kill him, but sent someone to send him to a remote mountain village in Lingling County, so that Yuan Cong could retire in that place with beautiful mountains and rivers.

After the death of Yuan Biao, Jingzhou can not be left without an owner for a day, under the planning of Pang Tong and Ma Liang, the old department of Taishan and the newly joined Jingzhou officials, unanimously asked Taishan to serve as the new Jingzhou pastor, Taishan pretended to shirk again and again, and finally had to reluctantly agree to temporarily serve as Jingzhou pastor, and then find a truly talented person in the future, he abdicated and made way for Xian.

When Taishan was wearing a brocade robe and holding the big seal of Jingzhou Mu, he slowly walked to the hall of the State Pastor's Mansion, with a smile on his face, looked at Pang Tong and said, "Military Master, can I sit in the position of Brother Jingsheng before his death?"

Pang Tong said with a smile: "The lord is already a Jingzhou pastor. ”

Tarzan smiled slightly, strode to the main seat, turned and sat down. At the moment when Taishan's buttocks hit the seat, a pleasant sound of drums suddenly came to mind outside the hall, which was a group of Jingzhou officials, congratulating Taishan on his ascension to the throne of Jingzhou, and at the same time, they also expressed their loyalty to Taishan in this way.

Guan Wei and Zhang Wu, the two brothers, were also in high spirits, strode into the hall, and saw Taishan sitting on the throne of the state pastor, the two laughed and said to Taishan: "Big brother, we finally have our own territory." Listening to the words of the two, Taishan suddenly felt a burst of displeasure in his heart, what is our territory? That is my Taishan's territory alone! Taishan is Taishan after all, he quickly adjusted his mentality, and praised Guan Wei and Zhang Wu a few words. Taishan knows very well that without the two brothers following for more than ten years, he would not have the situation he has today, and in the days to come, Taishan will have to rely on the two of them to fight for himself, don't forget, Taishan, the Jingzhou pastor, now only controls four of the nine counties of Jingxiang, and in the days to come, there will be a battle.

Turning his head to look at Pang Tong, Taishan said with a smile: "This mansion can sit in Jingzhou, and the military division has made great contributions." Rejoice today, what does the military advisor want, but it doesn't hurt to say it!"

When Pang Tong heard this, the expression on his face suddenly changed, he sighed, and said: "It is fun to destroy the country of people, and it is not a soldier of the benevolent." When Taishan heard this, the smile on his face disappeared in an instant, he looked at Pang Tong coldly, and said slowly: "In the past, when the Martial King was defeated. He has also sung and danced before, but should a joyful person not be called a benevolent one?

Pang Tong didn't salute either, took a deep look at Taishan, turned around and walked out of the hall. Pang Tong's surrender to Mount Tai was actually to keep his family, and most of the Jingzhou officials who surrendered were for the same purpose, but Pang Tong advanced the time of surrender. In essence, Pang Tong and the officials of Jingzhou are all from the scholar family. And Taishan was born as a commoner, and letting a group of scholars serve the commoners seemed very unreasonable in itself, but the situation forced it. Won by Tarzan. I had no choice but to push the boat down the river to recognize Mount Tai as the main one. Although Pang Tong didn't feel wronged, he even made a plan for Taishan wholeheartedly, but Taishan's words just now really made Pang Tong unhappy. For Pang Tong, Xiangyang was his hometown, and he didn't want to hear anyone take pleasure in trampling on his homeland, including Mount Tai. Pang Tong is upright, he didn't refute Taishan, he just said what was in his heart. But he chose the wrong time, and Taishan, who was on the rise, couldn't listen to such words.

After Pang Tong left, Guan Wei and Zhang Wu saw that Taishan was very unhappy, and hurriedly comforted: "Big brother, the military advisor has worked hard and made great achievements, why do you bother with him about these trivial things?"

When Taishan heard this, he also came to his senses, knowing that he was too stingy just now, Pang Tong's role is the same as Guan Wei and Zhang Wu, without Pang Tong, it is impossible to take half of Jingzhou by Guan Wei and Zhang Wu alone, Taishan hurriedly stretched out his hand and pointed out, and said hurriedly: "Don't go and chase the military division back!" Guan Wei Zhang Wu got the order, and hurriedly ran out, and dragged Pang Tong back to the hall.

Taishan stood up pretendically, saluted Pang Tong, and said in a tone of self-reproach: "Military advisor, I lost my words for a moment just now, and I ask the military advisor not to worry." In order to show his sincerity, Tarzan no longer claimed to be his own house, but changed back to his previous self-title. Seeing Taishan apologize to himself, Pang Tong was not annoyed, "The minister has a gaffe, I hope the lord will not care." Pang Tong returned the salute to Mount Tai and said. Taishan laughed, stepped forward to take Pang Tong's hand, and resumed his previous respect for Pang Tong.

Today may be destined to be a day of great joy and sorrow for Taishan, after a small episode of slight dissatisfaction with Guan Wei and Zhang Wu, Pang Tong's words also caused Taishan's displeasure for a time, after taking the initiative to apologize and restore a good relationship with Pang Tong, Ma Liang walked into the hall again, and continued to block Mount Tai.

Ma Liang has a peculiar appearance, and his two eyebrows are white. Therefore, there is a proverb in the Jingxiang area, called "Ma's five constants, white eyebrows are the best". It means that each of the five brothers of the Ma family has great talents, and the most outstanding one among them is Ma Liang, who has white eyebrows. Because of his excellence, Yuan Biao let Ma Liang serve as an intelligence officer before his death, and after Taishan became the master of Xiangyang, he retained Ma Liang's position.

But today, Ma Liang is not here to report the good news to Mount Tai, but to report the worries: "Lord, I just received the news, Sun Ce is not dead at all, he led Lu Meng and Ding Feng to attack Jiangxia County, Changsha near Jiangxia was originally the place where Sun Jian once ruled, and now it has fallen to Sun Ce's side, Jiangxia and Changsha counties are now Sun Ce's territory." ”

"What did you say?!" everyone in the hall exclaimed in unison! This was an unexpected situation, and even the resourceful Pang Tong could not have expected it in the slightest. Sun Ce actually cheated to death, and also took the opportunity to capture Jiangxia and Changsha, those two counties, but Jingzhou's grain storage place, especially Jiangxia, half of Jingzhou's money and grain, all have to pass through Jiangxia, a Jiangxia County, is equivalent to one-third of Jingzhou!

What's more, Jiangdong and Jingzhou have the enmity of killing their father, and now Taishan has succeeded Jingzhou Mu, which is naturally equivalent to inheriting this hatred, Sun Ce now occupies Jiangxia and Changsha, which is equivalent to extending his tentacles from Jiangdong into Jingxiang, and can launch a geographically advantageous war against Jingzhou at any time.

Taishan knew that Sun Ce must have come prepared, and this could be seen from the fact that he did not hesitate to cheat his death. With the current situation, Taishan has just succeeded Jingzhou as pastor, and the internal has not been straightened out, and it is absolutely impossible to recapture Jiangxia and Changsha, I am afraid that in the short term, Jingzhou will maintain this state of division.
