Chapter 86
Let's talk about Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, named Jingsheng, a native of Gaoping in Shanyang, and a relative of the Han Dynasty. If there is anyone in the Han court who can be called the overlord of one side, besides Liu Yan of Yizhou, it must be Liu Biao!Gein, the wealthiest and most powerful chassis of the whole big man is in the hands of these two!
However, the sky does not follow people's wishes!
Liu Yan is ambitious and builds Yizhou into the Kingdom of Abundance, with a strong military force and oversupply of food and grass. However, as he grows older, he wants to raise a sword and mount a horse, conquer the world, and compete in Kyushu. It can only be done in a dream!Liu Biao was about the same age as Yuan Shao, but in his early forties, Jingzhou was such a military-heavy city and a state rich in food, but his master had no ambitions and was devoted to success.

In the land of Jingxiang, there are many talented people. There are seven famous scholars, including Liu Biao, who are called the "Eight Talents of Jiangxia". They are Chen Xiang of Runan, whose courtesy name is Zhonglin; Fan Bang of Shanyang, whose courtesy name is Meng Bo; and Kong Yu of Lu State. , named Shiyuan; Bohai Fan Kang, named Zhongzhen; Shanyang Tanfu, named Wenyou; Tongjun Zhang Lian, named Yuanjie; Nanyang Cenjing, named Gongxiao.

These seven people are friends with Liu Biao, and there are also Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang from Yanping, and Cai Mao from Xiangyang as assistants. They are based in Jingzhou.

Liu Biao got Yuan Shao's handwritten letter, and Sun Jian got the imperial jade seal, and fled back to Jiangdong. He must intercept it and ask for the jade seal.Immediately, Kuai Yue and Cai Mao led [-] troops to intercept Sun Jian.

As soon as Sun Jian led his troops to the Jingzhou area, Kuai Yue ordered his generals to form an array and went out first.

Sun Jian waved the ancient ingot knife and asked, "Why did Kuai Yidu (Kuiyue, word Yidu) lead his troops to cut me off?"

Kuai Yue snorted coldly and said, "Since you are a minister of the Han Dynasty, why do you hide the treasures passed down to you privately? You can stay here quickly, and I can let you go back."

Sun Jian was furious, and without saying a word, he ordered Huang Gai to fight with his whip.

Although Kuai Yue knew a little about force, he was actually a literati. How could he be Huang Gai's opponent!Before Kuai Yue could speak, Cai Mao came to greet him with a horse and sword.

Sun Jian saw that Cai Mao was so powerful and terrifying, he couldn't help feeling jealous, Liu Biao had been in Jingxiang for many years, and when the Yellow Turbans were in chaos, all other prefectures suffered from headaches, so Jingxiang was safe and sound, even though there were Yellow Turbans, But not enough to shake the government!
Why?

First, Liu Biao is a man who governs the state well, has many celebrities and talents under his command, the common people live and work in peace and contentment, and everyone has enough food and clothing, so why would he put his head to the chase?
I had no grievances with Liu Biao, but I didn't want to return to the road and was blocked by him. Sun Jian had never fought with Liu Biao before, so he had some fears in his heart.

Let's talk about Huang Gai and Cai Mao fighting each other several times. Huang Gai waved his golden whip and hit Cai Mao's heart guard.

Cai Mao was shocked and turned his horse away. Sun Jian immediately took advantage of the situation and led his troops to charge. Liu Biao's soldiers were unable to resist, allowing him to rush across the border!

As soon as Sun Jian crossed the boundary, Sun Jian had no time to catch his breath. Behind the mountain, the drums were beating loudly, the golden drums were beating together, and the shouts of killing soared to the sky. From a distance, it was Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou himself, leading his troops to chase after him.

As he approached, Sun Jian rode forward alone, bowed his hands on the horse's back and said, "Why did Jing Sheng listen to Yuan Shao's words and approach his neighbors? He didn't know that this was Yuan Shao's wolfish ambition to station troops in Jingzhou?"

Liu Biao didn't mention it at all, and said directly: "Why do you insist on turning your ears against the fact that you hid the Jade Seal of Chuanguo? If Shao had ambitions, how could you return to the boundary of Jingzhou?"

Sun Jian shouted: "If I have this thing, I will die by sword and arrow!"

Hearing these words, Liu Biao hesitated for a while, and Kuai Liang beside him suggested, "If Sun Jian doesn't have a jade seal, just search for it."

Liu Biao was overjoyed, and said to Sun Jian, "If you want me to believe you, then put down all the military salutes and let me search."

Sun Jian was furious, "You're so disgusting with Confucianism, how dare you look down on me?"

After shouting, Sun Jian withdrew from the formation and was about to send troops. Liu Biao seldom came to the front of the battle in person. Seeing Sun Jian's fierce appearance, he couldn't help but felt a wave of fear and wanted to lead the troops back.

Seeing Liu Biao's lack of heroic spirit, Sun Jian thought to himself: "My words are not bad, Liu Jingsheng, but a sour Confucianism is just an ear!"
Immediately he galloped in pursuit, and most of the soldiers and horses behind him caught up. Liu Biao had no choice but to lead his troops back, and Sun Jian was overjoyed.As soon as they passed the top of the hill, there was a sudden shout of killing from both sides, but it was Cai Hao and Kuai Yue who led the troops and trapped all of Sun Jian's troops in the middle. However, Liu Jun's defense is like an iron barrel. During the surge of troops, although Sun Jian and his subordinates are brave, they can't get out.

After some left and right sprints, Sun Jian suddenly discovered that his troops were trapped in Gaixin, and the situation became even more unfavorable.But Sun Jian was still Sun Jian, and his soldiers were extremely loyal to him. Even in the face of a decisive battle, Sun Jian still had courage. Between the majesty and the mountains, Liu Biao had a kind heart and sent people several times to ask for surrender.

Sun Jian was a little bit persistent, he refused to agree the first two times, and famously said, if he comes to recruit surrender again, he will be beheaded!
Liu Biao couldn't bear to see the Han soldiers killing each other, so he still sent the envoy to persuade him. As soon as he entered the tent, Sun Jian was sitting in the high hall, let alone answering or saluting. Cut it off, put it up on the gate of the village with a high pole, and hang a banner: Jiangdong has a general who dies, but no general who surrenders.

When Liu Biao learned what his subordinates had reported, he couldn't help sighing that Sun Wentai was really brave.

The two sides had been stalemate in Gaixin for half a month, Sun Jian had run out of food and grass, and was almost collapsed without a fight. However, a young general from Jiangdong came to the rescue with [-] Jiangdong soldiers!
Cai Mao, Liu Biao's general, saw the boy, and immediately responded with his saber, but he was shot in the chest by the boy, and fell off his horse.

Let's say that the young general defeated Cai Mao with the momentum of thunder, and immediately led his troops to attack. Sun Jian heard the movement outside and knew that it must be his own reinforcements. , Since returning to Jiangdong, Jiangdong has feuded with Jingzhou.

Let's say that the young general who defeated Cai Mao was none other than Sun Jian's eldest son, so was Sun Ce!

Because Sun Ce led [-] soldiers from Jiangdong, rescued his father thousands of miles away, and defeated Cai Mao, a general of Jingzhou in ten rounds, so he won the title of Little Overlord of Jiangdong, and everyone in Jiangdong was proud of him.

Liu Biao did not stop Sun Jian, but reported the news to Yuan Shao in Yanzhou. After Yuan Shao read the letter, he scolded Liu Biao for his incompetence, took his pen and ink, and wrote a letter. It has nothing to do with Yuan Shao.

Why, before Yuan Shao was the leader of the Kwantung Allied Forces, and Sun Jian hid the jade seal, he had to have an explanation, but Yuan Shao is not a fool, the jade seal itself is a hot potato, so he wrote a letter , ask Liu Biao to act.

First, Liu Biao's territory Jingzhou is the only way for Sun Jian to return to Jiangdong.

Second, Liu Biao was a clan member of the Han family, and Sun Jian, a foreign prince, took Liu's jade seal, both public and private, and Liu Biao had to ask for it.

Although Liu Biao knew that this was Yuan Shao's plot to kill someone with a knife, he had no choice but to do so!This is Yuan Shao's insidiousness.

Besides, after Yuan Shao returned to Hulao, he did not just sit there and wait. Instead, he relied on the strength of his family and easily took the position of Yanzhou governor. At that time, many people came to seek refuge from all directions, that is, The great Confucian scholar and great counselor Ju Shou who left Liu Yu also surrendered to Yuan Shao.

Ascending to the position of governor, Yuan Shao vigorously promoted his cronies, and his reputation was greatly shaken. In addition, many talented people came to help him, Yuan Shao was even more powerful, and his ambition suddenly arose.After becoming the governor of Yanzhou, Yuan Shao's head also grew bigger.

This problem is a problem that almost every entrepreneur will face, that is, how to support the group of people under him!

If Yuan Shao wanted to recruit soldiers, he could increase the number of soldiers from 5 to 10 within half a year. Why would Yuan Shao not want to do this, but a good woman can't cook without rice, if you don't get food, who will work for you?

Not long after Ju Shou voted for Yuan Shao, he wanted to gain a firm foothold, and after analyzing the current situation many times, he came to ask Yuan Shao to see him today.

After entering the hall, I didn't mention some salutes and greetings.

Ju Shou was about to open his mouth to talk about food, but it was a coincidence that soldiers from outside reported that Han Fu, the shepherd of Jizhou, sent people to send food for military use.

Hearing this, Ju Shou was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help but feel depressed. If the lord pays too much attention to this relationship, a certain plan will be useless.

Yuan Shao asked the envoy to come in, and after the envoy reported the specific number, he bowed his hands and said goodbye, and had his servants lead the way.Yuan Shao got the capital, but he was frowning and lamenting again and again.

Ju Shou asked, "My lord, are you worried about food?"

Yuan Shao raised his head, looked at Jushou and said, "Yes, there are many good horses and good soldiers in Yanzhou, but there is not enough food in the land, so I am worried about it."

Ju Shou laughed, and said: "My lord, why worry too much? A man who is a big man is all over the world. Why should he treat others to send food for food? How can the lord not understand the truth that God can't take?"

Yuan Shao narrowed his eyes, with a sly smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "What is Ju Gong's intention?"

Looking at Yuan Shao's weird expression, Ju Shou felt a little uncomfortable, thinking that he was still too reckless, he didn't know the character of the lord, how should he handle the advice?

Although he had no idea, Jushou still informed him of his plan based on his inner plan.

"Jizhou is a land rich in money and food, why doesn't the general take it?"

Yuan Shao propped his chin with one hand, and said: "I have a heart, but I have no good plan!"

Seeing that Yuan Shao was interested, Ju Shou felt relieved, and said freely: "You can secretly send someone to write a letter to Gongsun Zan, ordering him to raise troops to take Jizhou, and agree to attack from east to west, and Gongsun Zan will definitely raise troops."

"No! Gongsun Zan is at war with Liu Yu, and Xin Zhao is watching, how could he be willing to send troops?"

"Liu Yu has been defeated, and You Beiping has been lost. As far as I know, not long ago, Liu Yu promised Zhao Xin the lands of Wuzhong and Yuyang to send troops to defend against Gongsun Zan. Zhao Xin did not have the slightest trust in Liu Yuzao , went directly to Yuyang, and promised Wuzhong to Gongsun Zan, and reached an alliance based on this, and they will not invade each other!"

"That's it, Gongsun Zan will believe in Zhao Xinye?" Yuan Shao was still worried.

Jushou persuaded again: "My lord, Zhao Zilin is a man of true temperament. He has devoted his heart and soul to Liu Yu, but Liu Yu spends too much time on him, and he is seeking his own death. For the faith of his life, Gongsun Zan is worried that he has nowhere to send troops, and the faith of the lord is justified."

Yuan Shao was delighted to hear this, and immediately agreed, sending a letter to Gongsun Zan.

Gongsun Zan got Yuan Shao's handwritten letter, and read it: "About taking Jizhou altogether and dividing the land equally."Inform the people of this intention.

Tian Kai cupped his hands and said: "Master, this is a god-given opportunity! If you can take half a step from Jizhou, you will have no worries about food and grass, and you will be able to get troops in Yuyang, Fanyang and other places at your fingertips!"

Gongsun Zan was overjoyed and immediately ordered to send troops the next day.

The three brothers Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei had nowhere to go after the disbandment of the Kwantung Allied Forces, so they retreated to western Liaoning with Gongsun Zan.When Zhao Xin fought Gongsun Zan, Zhang Fei yelled at Liu Bei several times to fight for Gongsun Zan.

But Liu Bei refused, and said: "Liu Yu is a clan member of the Han family, it is not easy for me to stay with my senior brother, if I want to go to war, won't it make outsiders regard me as Liu Bei who eats inside and out?"

Zhang Fei naturally couldn't trap his elder brother in an unjust place, so he had to give up.

Now Liu Bei heard that Gongsun Zan was going to send troops to Han Fu, so he immediately took Guan and Zhang to Gongsun Zan's mansion to ask for an audience.Entering the hall, Liu Bei told all the thoughts in his heart, Gongsun Zan was overjoyed, and said: "It's so amazing, with the help of Xuande, Yunchang, and Yide, it's like adding wings to a tiger!" '

In a few days, the three brothers followed Gongsun Zan's army and marched all the way to Jizhou.

Yuan Shao got the news of Gongsun Zan's dispatch of troops, but secretly sent someone to report the news of Gongsun Zan's dispatch of troops to protect Han Fu secretly.

Han Fu panicked and gathered his counselors Xun Zhan and Xin Ping to discuss the matter.

Xun Chen, courtesy name Youruo, the younger brother of Xun Yu, the son of Xun Yu, a native of Yingchuan, is known for his resourcefulness.

Xin Ping, courtesy name Zhongzhi, was born in Yangdi, Yingchuan, and was the brother of Xinpi who was later promoted to Wei Wei of Cao Wei.

These two men had many strategies, and people near and far praised their virtuous reputations. Han Fu summoned the two men for discussion, hoping to get advice from them.

Xun Chen said: "Gongsun Zan led the people of Yan and Dai to come here, and his sharpness is unstoppable. In addition, the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang want to help him, so it is even more difficult to win. Now Yuan Benchu ​​is the fourth generation and three princes. He is wise and brave, and he has famous generals It is so vast that the general can invite him here to manage state affairs together, and he will treat the general well, so why should Gongsun Zan be afraid of him?"

When Han Fu heard this, he thought it was true, and immediately sent his subordinates, Biejia Guanchun, to Yanzhou to invite Yuan Shao.

Chief Shi Geng Wu didn't believe Xun Chen's words, got the news that Guan Chun was going to invite Yuan Shao, and rushed to Han Fu's residence to ask for an audience.After entering the mansion, Geng Wu clasped his hands and said: "Yuan Shao is a lonely and poor army. You feed me like a baby in the palm of your hand. If you don't breastfeed him, you will starve to death! If Yuan Shao has no food for his lord, his tens of thousands of soldiers and horses will be thirsty." Why do you need to entrust the state affairs to a dead fish? This is to lure a tiger into a flock of sheep!"

Han Fu shook his head and said: "This is an old official of the Yuan family, but his talent is not as good as the original one. Therefore, why should you be jealous if you choose a capable person and let him go?"

Geng Wu sighed, "Jizhou Xiuye!"

After speaking, Geng Wu resigned and left, followed by more than 30 people.

A few days later, Yuan Shao led his troops to the outside of the city. Geng Wu and Guan Chun, lying on both sides of the city, drew their swords and rushed out, intending to kill Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao snorted coldly, and said in contempt: "It's really a villain's opinion!"

No need to order, the two generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou have already come out, Yan Liangli kills Geng Wu, Wen Chou kills Guan Chun instantly.At this point, Yuan Shao led his troops and marched into Jizhou with his head held high!
