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

Jingzhou.

Xiangyang City.

State Shepherd House.

Holding a letter in his hand, Liu Biao sighed slightly, with a solemn expression, "Dong Zhuo moved the capital, the emperor has suffered again this time."

At this time, Liu Biao was not too old, but he was not young either. He was 49 years old.

At this age, basically when one knows the destiny, all ambitions and ambitions will cease to exist.

Otherwise, the vassals of the Kwantung were making such a fuss, and Yuan Shao also wrote a letter to Liu Biao, but Liu Biao still stood still.

Of course, Liu Biao saw that the people of the Guandong princes were not in harmony and it was difficult to accomplish anything, but the main reason why Liu Biao did not send troops was to preserve his strength and wait and see the changes in the world situation.

The imperial power was left behind, and as a clan member of the Han family, it would be a lie to say that Liu Biao had no ideas.

If something happens to the emperor Liu Xie, Liu Biao will be able to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor in Xiangyang City, commanding the world.

Liu Xian cupped his hands and said, "Dong Zhuo moved his capital because he planned to use the natural dangers of Hangu Pass and Ji Pass to keep the princes of the Guandong out of the pass."

"Dong Zhuo has Liu Yizhou's three sons in his hands, so Liu Yizhou can bow to his orders."

"Ma Teng and Han Sui are Dong Zhuo's former subordinates. Therefore, Dong Zhuo's move is to continue the pre-Qin trend."

"From the point of view of my subordinates, the matter of the princes seeking Dong has completely failed."

Liu Biao's heart moved, and he asked, "Shizong's intention is that you should befriend Dong Zhuo?"

Liu Xian shook his head lightly: "Dong Zhuo is a national traitor, and the Fujun is a clan relative of the Han family. How can the Fujun befriend a national traitor?"

"Otherwise, if the princes of the Guandong use this as an excuse to invade Jingzhou, how can the governor stop it?"

Liu Biao was a little confused, and asked, "Shizong's meaning is..."

At this time, Kuai Liang said with a smile: "If my prediction is correct, Shizong's intention must be to persuade the Lord to send someone to Chang'an to meet His Majesty."

"Exactly." Liu Xian stroked his beard and nodded, "The Chang'an Imperial Palace has been abandoned for a long time, so it must be dilapidated."

"All kinds of expenses will never be complete."

"Therefore, the Lord Fu can send someone to Chang'an and send some expenses."

"In this way, everyone in the world will praise the Lord Gao Yi, who has the Son of Heaven in his heart."

Jingzhou is rich and prosperous, and Liu Biao naturally doesn't care about some living expenses.

"In addition..." Liu Xian continued, "After the people sent by the Fujun arrive in Chang'an, they still have to inquire about various news."

"Especially, Hua Xiong's son, Zhendong General, Qixiang Hou Huayu."

"This person came out of the sky and defeated the Kwantung Allied Forces one after another. He is really a powerful person."

"Dong Zhuo has this manpower to protect him. Yuan Benchu ​​and other princes intend to rescue the emperor, but they will continue to fail."

"However, my subordinates think that Hua Yu is both civil and military, how can he be a person who has lived under others for a long time, especially Dong Zhuo, who is notorious."

Liu Biao's expression changed slightly: "Shizong's intention is to win Hua Yu over for Gu's use?"

"It's difficult..." Liu Xian shook his head, "From my subordinate's point of view, this person is either loyal to Dong Zhuo, or has a self-reliant heart, and will never recognize his master again."

"What I mean by this subordinate is that Fu Jun can secretly make friends with Hua Yu. With Hua Yu's ability, he will become a great weapon in the future. For Jingzhou, this will definitely benefit and not cause any harm."

secretly?

Liu Biao understood Liu Xian's meaning, and this matter should not be known by the princes of the Guandong.

And making friends with Hua Yu is tantamount to finding a powerful ally for Jingzhou.

Liu Biao knew Liu Xianzhi's ability, especially in judging people, and he never made mistakes.

Since Liu Xian said that Hua Yu will have great achievements in the future, then Hua Yu will definitely have great achievements in the future.

Besides, as long as this matter is not known to the princes of the Kanto region, even if Hua Yu does not achieve anything in the future, Jingzhou will have nothing to lose.

"Okay." Liu Biao nodded, agreeing to Liu Xian's proposal.

Pang Ji cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, my subordinates also have a proposal."

Pang Ji, although inferior to Pang Tong, is also a hero of the Pang family.

When Liu Biao came to Jingzhou, Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng gathered together as kings and plundered the merchants.

The government army has repeatedly encircled and suppressed, but because they rely on the mountain for defense, the government army always fails and returns every time.

Liu Biao sent Kuai Yue and Pang Ji to ride alone, insisting that Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng were surrendered with their three-inch tongue.

There are many gentry families in Jingzhou, the most famous are the seven families, namely the Pang family, the Huang family, the Cai family, the Kuai family, the Ma family, the Xi family and the Yang family.

Among them, the Pang family is the head of the Jingzhou gentry.

But Pang Degong, the patriarch of the Pang family, looked down on Liu Biao, and Pang Ji was the only person in the Pang family who served as an assistant to Liu Biao.

Only the Cai family and the Kuai family are fully assisting Liu Biao.

The Huang family, Ma family, Xi family and Yang family basically did not cooperate with Liu Biao.

In the Huang family, Huang Zu became an official because he had a good friendship with Liu Biao.

In addition, there is another branch of the Huang family, Huang Zhong, who is not very popular with Liu Biao.

Jingzhou is indeed full of talents, but Liu Biao is not a master, and many talents do not go out to work. Otherwise, Jingzhou's strength is absolutely incomparable to any other state.

Liu Biao nodded: "Zi Shu, but it's okay to talk."

Pang Ji said: "After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the big men have no more wars, and the official position of a general is just a general of Zhonglang."

"However, ever since Hua Yu was born, it was first General An Dong, then General Ping Dong, and now General Zhen Dong."

"Since Si'an, Siping, and Sizhen have already started offering rewards, the imperial court will naturally not be stingy in offering rewards."

"From the point of view of my subordinates, the world is in chaos right now, and the pastors of all states disrespect the emperor because of Dong Zhuo's disorderly government, and no one pays tribute."

"If the Fujun can do the opposite, then the Emperor will be overjoyed, and Dong Zhuo can feel at ease, and the Fujun will take the opportunity to ask for the post of General Zhennan, and there will be no problem."

General Zhennan?

Liu Biao was immediately moved, Jingzhou Mu could only manage Jingzhou.

If there is the title of General Zhennan, Liu Biao can extend his hand to Yangzhou, Yizhou and Jiaozhou.

Tribute?

The most important thing in Jingzhou is money and food, as much as you want.

Spending some money on food, but being able to buy a Zhennan general, this deal is definitely a bargain.

Liu Biao said happily, "Zi Shu's words are very reasonable."

"This time, send people to Chang'an, and you can offer the expenses and tribute to the emperor."

"It's just, who should be sent there, do you have a suitable candidate?"

When Cai Mao heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself, before his father died, he was always concerned about Fan Shibo's descendants.

How about taking the opportunity to go to Chang'an and bring Fan Shibo's descendants to Jingzhou?
So, Cai Mao immediately stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the general is willing to go."

Liu Biao was overjoyed: "Degui took the initiative to invite Ying, and this trip will surely be a success."

Cai Mao's ability is also recognized by everyone, and there is no opinion on it.

At this time, Cai Mao had not yet married his sister to Liu Biao.

Liu Biao relied heavily on Cai Mao because of Cai Mao's outstanding ability. He assisted Liu Biao in pacifying the bandits in Jingzhou.

What's more, the Cai family is the first among the seven major families in Jingzhou to pledge allegiance to Liu Biao.

When the matter was settled and the candidates were decided, Liu Biao ordered people to prepare supplies and tributes, filling dozens of carts.

Cai Mao chose another auspicious day and led the convoy to Chang'an.
