Three Kingdoms: copy Lu Bu's force at the beginning

Jingzhou.

Xiangyang.

State Shepherd House.

Liu Biao sat listlessly, listening to the smooth talk of the man in front of him with great reluctance.

The person in front of him is Yuan Shu's cousin Yuan Yin.

Yuan Yin is not good at fighting, nor is he good at giving advice, but he is good at vertical and horizontal skills, and his eloquence is quite good.

"Your Majesty, this time Dong Zhuo destroyed Yuan's family for no reason, and even accused him of treason. This is against the public opinion."

"Dong Zhuo's evil deeds are too numerous to write down. The emperor, all the officials, and the people in Guanzhong are in dire straits day and night."

"They look forward to my army of the Kwantung lords, like the sun and the moon, tears can make the water overflow."

"The reason why the first alliance of princes failed was because of Huayu, but also because of the lack of food and grass in Jizhou."

"Therefore, Cousin Gonglu intends to raise the banner of righteousness again this time, unite the princes of the world, and fight against the Dong bandits together."

"In view of the drawbacks of the previous alliance, Cousin Gong fears that Jizhou alone will not be able to fully support the food and grass of hundreds of thousands of troops."

"Jingzhou is rich and prosperous, and the lord of the house is a relative of the Han family. If we can help each other, it will definitely be a blessing for the world."

"In this way, the prestige of the Fujun will reach unprecedented levels, and the history books will surely pass down the righteous deeds of the Fujun through the ages."

"I also ask the lord of the Fu to look at the love of the emperor, the officials, and the hundreds of thousands of people in Guanzhong, and be able to help."

Liu Biao didn't speak, but glanced at Yiji and gave him a wink.

Yiji, courtesy name Jibo, is also a master of vertical and horizontal ways, and has always been relied on by Liu Biao.

But for any lobbyists who come from other places, or need to visit abroad, Liu Biao will send Iraqi nationality.

Today, Yuan Shu sent Yuan Yin as a lobbyist, and Liu Biao naturally called Yi Ji over.

Yi Ji got Liu Biao's wink, smiled slightly, and said, "Dare to ask Chang Si, is my lord a Han family clan?"

Yuan Yin didn't understand what Yiji meant for a while, so he nodded: "Of course, I mentioned it just now."

Yi Ji said with a smile: "In this case, the princes of the world can raise troops, but my lord cannot."

"Otherwise, the clansmen of the Han family in the whole world will not move, but my lord raises troops. Some people may think that my lord is not trying to save the emperor, but wants to seek the throne."

This point is not only the scruple of Liu Biao, but also the scruple of all Han clansmen in the world.

Because Liu Yan has three sons in Chang'an, he absolutely cannot raise troops.

But Liu Yan couldn't afford to fight, and the other clans of the Han Dynasty could only stand still.

Of course, there are also some relatives of the Han family in the small vassal states who think of King Bingqin, but they are too weak to carry shoes.

The reason why Liu Biao was listless was because Yuan Shu had announced to the world that he was going to unite with the princes of the world and oppose Dong again.

As a result, Yuan Yin came to the door the next day.

Of course Liu Biao understood that Yuan Yin came to be a lobbyist, so naturally he was not interested.

However, Yuan Shu stationed troops in Wancheng and ruled Nanyang separately, which was regarded as a buffer zone between Liu Biao and the Central Plains.

Yuan Shu relied on Liu Biao's money, food and military equipment to guard the north gate of Jingzhou for Liu Biao. The two can be said to use each other.

In other words, Yuan Shu's current situation is similar to that of Zhang Xiu in history.

It's just that Zhang Xiu has no ambitions, and it is enough to have a place in Nanyang.

But Yuan Shu is different, ambitious.

Yuan Shu took Nanyang as his base, swallowed Yuzhou in the north, went to Yangzhou in the east, and kept his eyes on Xuzhou, preparing to achieve hegemony.

Once Yuan Shu can win Yuzhou and occupy Yangzhou, he can completely get rid of Liu Biao's constraints on money, food and military equipment, and become a detached and independent prince, even surpassing Liu Biao.

After hearing this, Yuan Yin calmed down and had his own countermeasures. He smiled slightly: "Uncle Ji has misunderstood, and Fu Jun has also misunderstood."

"Cousin Gonglu means that the governor does not need to send a single soldier, but only needs to provide food and grass to the coalition forces of the princes on a regular basis."

"With food and grass provided by Jizhou and Jingzhou, and the alliance of the princes and armies, this time the morale will be like a rainbow, and they will overcome the pass in one fell swoop, and the soldiers will come to the city of Chang'an to save the emperor and the people from the fire and water."

No need to send a soldier?
When Liu Biao heard this, his heart skipped a beat, and he temporarily put aside Cai Yu in his mind.

Just now, when Yuan Yin was talking to Yi Ji, Liu Biao didn't have any thoughts at all, he was thinking about Cai Yu.

Liu Biao had seen Cai Yu's beauty before, and to be honest he liked it very much.

So beautiful, Jingzhou couldn't find another woman more beautiful than Cai Yu.

Moreover, Cai Yu is young, only in her teens, and her skin is so tender that it can be broken by blowing a bullet, the kind that can ooze water when pinched.

If such a top product is held in one's arms and touched in one's hand, the taste is absolutely unbelievably beautiful.

Originally, although Liu Biao had this idea, the age difference between the two was far apart.

Liu Biao is 50 years old, several years older than Cai Yu's late father, Cai Xi.

He was just thinking about it, just flirting, Liu Biao didn't intend to really fall in love with Cai Yu.

However, a story suddenly spread in Xiangyang City. It was said that Cai Yu, the third daughter of the Cai family, once said that she would not marry unless she was a real hero in this life.

This incident revived Liu Biao's mind.

real hero?
In this land of Jingzhou, which one is the real hero?
Of course it was Liu Biao and Liu Jingsheng.

Riding alone into Jingzhou.

Talk about Jingzhou gentry.

Knowing people and using them well, sent Kuai Yue and Pang Ji to persuade the bandits Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng.

With Cai Mao as the general, he wiped out the rebellions in Jingzhou.

In addition, he is also talented, and he is the head of the eight horses in Jingzhou.

If I, Liu Jingsheng, say that I am not a real hero, there will be no real heroes in Jingzhou.

So Liu Biao misunderstood him, thinking that Cai Yu had a crush on him, but he was too embarrassed to speak out.

Then he made a detour on purpose and sent someone to spread this sentence, which was actually a hint to Liu Biao.

Liu Biao's wife, Chen Shi, has passed away, and the position of chief wife is vacant. Cai Yu's beauty and status are just right for her.

In the past few days, Liu Biao has been restless, thinking about when to hint this matter to Cai Mao.

In the past few days, Liu Biao has not thought about tea or food.

If it wasn't for not meeting Yuan Yin and disagreeing with reason, it would even anger Yuan Shu, Liu Biao really didn't have that kind of intention.

However, Liu Biao was moved by the fact that without a single soldier, he only needed to provide food and grass, and he could have the merit of saving King Qin.

As long as Jingzhou does not send troops to Chang'an City, people in the world will not think that Liu Biao covets the throne.

In this regard, Yi Ji could only keep silent, and the next step was to make a choice, which was not up to him.

What is Liu Biao missing?

Except for a wife, Liu Biao doesn't lack anything else.

Talents, Jingzhou is full of talents.

Money and food are innumerable.

There is no shortage of soldiers. When the Central Plains was in turmoil, many northerners crossed the river and came to settle in Jingzhou.

There is no shortage of ordnance, because there has been no war all year round, and many weapons and armor are almost rusted.

Still the same sentence, apart from the lack of a wife, Liu Biao has everything he wants.

Liu Biao mused, "Dong Zhuo is raging and harming the world. As a clan member of the Han family and an important court official, how can I sit idly by and let Dong Zhuo bully the world and poison the people?"

"The proposal of the road, the old man agreed, please feel free to form an alliance, and Jingzhou and Jizhou will undertake all the supply of food, grass and luggage."

Yuan Yin was overjoyed, and immediately bowed his hands and saluted: "Your Majesty is wise."
