Chapter 213 The Dog of the Guard

Liu Bei had to say, "Fang split today. From the day of the war, the opportunity will definitely appear again. How can there be an ultimate? If we can seize the opportunity in the future, this time will not be enough to hate.

However, Liu Biao has always been neutral in the battle of princes, and at the same time, Liu Biao no longer paid taxes to the central government.

Liu Biao's self-respecting attitude also avoided many wars in Jingzhou and provided conditions for the development of the local economy and culture.

In 207 (the 12th year of Jian'an), Cao Cao began to develop to the south after stabilizing the situation in the Central Plains. Jingzhou became his first offensive target.

In his later years, Liu Biao failed to properly deal with his heirs. Liu Biao's two sons, Liu Qi and Liu Cong, are involved in the dispute between their heirs.

At first, Liu Biao loved his eldest son Liu Qi very much because he looked similar to his own.

But later, Liu cong married the niece of Mrs. Cai, Liu Biao's wife. Cai loved Wu and Wu, loved Liu cong and hated Liu Qi.

Cai often destroyed Liu Qi in front of Liu's surface. Liu Biao gradually believed it because he favored Cai.

In addition, Cai's brother Cai Mao and his nephew Zhang Yun were also trusted by Liu Biao and were kind to Liu cong, so Liu Qi became more and more uneasy.

Later, Liu Qi listened to Zhuge Liang's advice and asked Liu Biao to replace Huang Zu, who died in the war, to be Jiang Xia Taishou for self-easiness.

Later, Liu Biao was seriously ill, and Liu Qi returned to Xiangyang to visit him. Because Liu Qi has always been filial, Zhang Yun and others are afraid that their father and son will meet and feel affection, which will make Liu Biao establish Liu Qi as their heir, so they are not allowed to visit Liu Qi inside and said, "The Lord ordered you to guard Jiangxia, which is a very important task.

Now that you have left all the soldiers to come to Xiangyang in Jiangxia, the lord will definitely blame them angrily when he knows it. This move hurts his family and will only worsen his condition in the end. This is really not a way of filial piety.

Liu Qi was rejected and could not meet Liu Biao, so Liu Qi had to leave with tears.

According to the Records of Heroes and Wei Shu, Liu Biao wanted to give up Jingzhou to Liu Bei when he was critically ill, but Liu Bei could not bear to take advantage of people's crisis and repeatedly push him back.

In the early autumn of 208 (the 13th year of Jian'an), Cao Cao began to lead his troops and marched south to Jingzhou.

In August of the same year, Liu Biao died of back jaundice at the age of 67.

After Liu Biao's death, the ministers of Jingzhou supported his second son Liu Cong as his heir.

Within a month after Liu Cong succeeded to the throne, because most of his ministers surrendered to Cao, he asked Cao Cao in September, officially ending the 19-year rule of the Liu family and his son in Jingzhou.

Chen Shou once said: "Yuan Shao and Liu Biao are majestic and well-known in the world. Stepping through the Hannan, Shaoying Yanghe Shuo, but they are all lenient and internal taboos. They are resourceful and indecisive. They are talented but can't be used. They can't be accepted when they hear good things. They abandon their legitimate concubines and give up their courtesy and worship love. As for the descendants, the overthrow of their descendants and the overthrow of the community, it is not unfortunate.

"I don't know what's wrong with my virtuous nephew coming to Jingzhou?" Liu Biao asked with a smile.

Although this kind of person is not enterprising, he is a typical smiling tiger for conspiracy and power and so on.

Li Zhong secretly spat in his heart, but said respectfully, "Your Majesty's love and give the princess ten thousand years of marriage, so his little nephew came to visit his uncle," Li Zhong said without slow.

Liu Biao glanced at Li Zhong, muttered to himself, and smiled, "A few days ago, many mountain thieves in Jingzhou gathered to rebel, so they didn't go to see his nephew's wedding. I'm really ashamed of my nephew."

"My uncle is serious. No one in the world knows that my uncle is a benevolent and righteous gentleman and highly valued," Li Zhong said.

"My nephew is serious," Liu Biao was very useful, but waved his hand and said.

"The virtuous nephew must be tired all the way. I prepared a small courtyard for the virtuous nephew. The virtuous nephew can go to rest first, and later the old man will pick up the virtuous nephew," Liu Biao said to Li Zhong. If he didn't listen to him, it was going to drive people away.

Li Zhong was not the one who pressed his cold buttocks with a hot face. Then he got up and said, "Thank you uncle, that little nephew left first." After saying that, he hugged Jingzhou Wenwu in the hall and retreated with the three people.

At this time, a state pastoral servant came to Li Zhong and said respectfully, "General, please come with the villain."

"Thank you," Li Zhong said with a smile.

"What's your intention to look at Li Zhong?" After Li Zhong left, Liu Biao looked at the literary and martial arts under the hall, and his old face couldn't help but be a little arrogant. As soon as he came down today, Jingzhou is vast, rich in property, and hundreds of thousands of people with armor. Naturally, he has capital.

Everyone bowed their heads and said no.

"yi du, you said, Liu Biao looked at Ying Wenshi and said.

The scribe got up and said, "Lord, I don't know, but I believe that Li Zhong has no evil intentions. Even if there is, this is not Youzhou but Jingzhou. The lord only needs to send someone to stare at him. As long as he doesn't cause trouble, we won't care. When he leaves, it will be peaceful."

And this scribe is none other than that he is the first counselor under Liu Biao (this word is kuǎi phonetic transcription, let me explain it to you) Yue.

There is no other way. Although he is more resourceful, he is still afraid to guess Li Zhong's intention.

Liu Biao thought about it, so he said, "Zhang Yun, send someone to stare at Li Zhong. If there is any situation, I will return it immediately." "Yes," a middle-aged man in armor got up and replied.

"Okay, all retreat," Liu Biao seemed to be a little tired and said to everyone.

"Yes, is Li Yan back?" Liu Biao turned around and asked.

"Not yet, I guess it will arrive tonight," a waiter replied.

"Well, let him come to see me when he comes back," Liu Biao said and left.

"Arenness", the younger brother of Guizhou, the famous scholar of Guizhou, came to the elder brother, "It's my brother. What's the matter?"

Although the two brothers have already separated, the relationship is still quite good.

The two walked out side by side.

"Is it that you really don't know Li Zhong's intention of this trip," Kai Liang asked doubtfully.

Kuai Yue smiled bitterly and said, "You think I'm an immortal, but Li Zhong's deeds are very suspicious, but I really don't know that with this person alone, it is impossible to come all the way to visit the master."

Looking at this, it was not pretended. Kwa Liang nodded, but the question was lingering.

Kue (?-214), a native of Xiangyang Zhonglu (now southwest of Xiangyang, Hubei).

Kou Yue is one of the Wang people in the southern county of Jingzhou and the representative of the Ke family. He was quite famous when he was young.

General He Jin also hired him as Dong Cao Qian because he heard that he was good at strategy. Ou Yue once advised He Jin to take the lead and kill the eunuch as soon as possible, but He Jin hesitated.

Kuai Yue expected that He Jin would be defeated, so he applied to He Jin for the appointment of Ruyang Order. Sure enough, He Jin was finally killed by the eunuch, but Guo Yue turned to safety.

In 190 A.D. (the first year of Chuping), Liu Biao, the Marquis of the Northern Army, went to be the governor of Jingzhou at the order of the imperial court, but he was hesitant about the situation at that time, so he invited Kuai Yue and his brother Kuai Liang to conspire with Cai Mao at the Yicheng.

Liu Biao asked: "At this time, the thieves are rampant and the people are not attached. Yuan Shu is ready to move in Nanyang, and the disaster has been difficult to solve so far. I hope to recruit here, but I'm afraid that the people will not want to join the army. What are your countermeasures?

Kai Liang first proposed that as long as the politicians can practice benevolence and righteousness at the same time, the people will naturally be willing to return, and conscription will no longer be a problem.

However, Kai Yue did not agree with Kai Liang's statement and said: "The rulers of peace and prosperity value benevolence and righteousness, while the rulers in troubled times will attach importance to power and plots. Soldiers are also not expensive, and the key is to get their loyalty and support.

Yuan Shu is brave and wise and decisive. Su Dai and Bei Yu are both martial artists and do not need to worry at all. However, most of the leaders of the clan thieves are greedy and cruel, and their subordinates are also worried about them.

As long as some people with cultivation and ability are sent to the leader of the thief to seduce them, the leader of the thief will definitely lead the crowd.

Then you just need to seize the opportunity to kill those cruel and unruly, and then appease their followers. In this way, the military, civilians and the people of this state will come to help the old and the weak because of your kindness.

At that time, when the soldiers and civilians are attached, they will occupy Jiangling in the south and guard Xiangyang in the north, so as long as the eight counties of Jingzhou pass on the letter, they can be calmed down. In the future, even if Yuan Shu and others come with troops again, there is nothing they can do!"

After listening to this, Liu Biao greatly praised the strategy of the dragonfly and adopted his plan.

After that, he induced a total of 55 thieves to lead 15 people. Liu Biao followed his previous advice to kill them together and annex their followers.

However, at that time, Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng, the Jiangxia Thieves, were still guarding Xiangyang, and Liu Biao sent Ou Yue and Pang Ji to lobby. Zhang and Chen were persuaded and agreed to surrender. Therefore, Liu Biao roughly got the control of Jingzhou and has been in Xiangyang since then. Kui Yue was also worshipped as the governor of Zhangling and the Marquis of Fanting for his achievements.
