Chapter 188

Liu Zhang directly 'inherited' the governor of Yizhou, and the news naturally exploded in the Guanzhong court.According to Li Shimin's meaning, Yizhou is the Yizhou of the Han Dynasty, Liu Yan is only the governor of Yizhou, not the king of Yizhou, and Liu Zhang is not eligible for hereditary positions.

After Liu Zhang succeeded to the throne, he still sent people to write to the imperial court, asking to be the governor of Yizhou, saying only that it was "the will of the people".At the same time, he brought some money and food, which was probably a year's tax.

Naturally, the Guanzhong court, especially Wang Yun and Li Shimin, began to argue again over the matter of "recognizing Liu Zhang's status as the governor of Yizhou". He ordered him to send troops to attack Hanzhong after he finished observing his filial piety.

It doesn't take three years to keep filial piety these days, at least three years is not mandatory in the law.Now it is only April, and it is not a big problem to keep filial piety for a month, and then send troops to attack Hanzhong.At the same time, in order to make two-handed preparations, the army has also begun to enter a state of combat readiness. If there is no reply after a month, it will directly send troops to Hanzhong.

At this time, news came from Jingzhou that Shi Hui had completely subdued Wuling and Guiyang counties at the end of April.Now the sheriffs of the two counties have openly expressed their commitment to the puppet dynasty in Jizhou. In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that they are basically under the command of Shihui.

"It's been two months since Shi Hui went to battle, and Liu Jingzhou hasn't responded at all?" In response to this situation, Li Shimin immediately came forward to ask.No matter how stupid Liu Biao was, didn't he know that after Shi Hui took down the four counties in southern Jing, he was going to attack the three counties in northern Jing?At least, Jiangxia County and Nan County must be his targets.

"If Liu Biao wants to go south, he has to cross the river to fight. It is said that the Jiangxia navy has been crippled by Shihui, and only the Jiangling navy is left, which is also blocked by Shihui's navy and cannot come out!" Dong Cheng stood up. replied.

"What's the situation with the Jiangxia navy?" Li Shimin couldn't help but frowned when he heard the words. Shi Hui took the initiative to deal with the Jiangxia navy. above.

"This issue has to start with Huang Zu, the prefect of Jiangxia... That's how it happened, so Liu Jingzhou had to suppress this matter, and because of this, he handed over the position of prefect of Lingling to the scholar." Dong Cheng replied, the people sent by Liu Biao did not hide the news, it seems that they should have explained it.

"What is Liu Jingzhou's plan now?" Wang Yun was more concerned about this question.

"What Liu Jingzhou meant was to send Zhang Ji to cooperate with the newly reorganized Jiangxia navy, and even count the Jiangling navy, to attack Shihui on the charge of treason. If it fails, no one on the river will be able to If we can stop the Shi Hui, even their sailors will be able to go upstream and directly reach the city of Xiangyang. In order to avoid such a situation, Liu Jingzhou hopes that we can send troops to help guard the three counties in Jingbei!" Dong Cheng replied.

"It is true that Zhang Ji defected to him, but it may not be easy to transfer him?" Li Shimin looked at Dong Cheng.

"It is precisely because of this that the other party said that if Zhang Ji is unwilling to move, he also hopes that the court will help eliminate Zhang Ji." Dong Cheng replied. Relatively speaking, the governor of Nanyang County was appointed by the court. He didn't need to say this. Everyone knows it too.

So a new question arises, that is 'who to send'?Especially according to the plan, the imperial court plans to use troops against Hanzhong and send troops to attack Nanyang. Will it cause the troops attacking Hanzhong to be dragged down? !

"Speaking of which, in the past, Sun Jian's old department, called Wu Jing, was appointed by Dong Zhuo as the prefect of Nanyang? I remember that some time ago, Sun Jian's eldest son, Sun Ce, brought Sun Jian's old department to the court..." Zhu Jun stepped forward to remind .

"Zhang Ji hasn't refused yet!" Dong Cheng replied, "Should we wait and see what Zhang Ji's attitude is?"

"Prepare with both hands! If Zhang Ji would join the court, he would have joined him long ago. He would never have left Wuguan to go to Nanyang County! The court has expressed goodwill to him, but he has not accepted it!" Li Shimin said immediately.

The princes in the DPRK immediately whispered to each other. The situation at that time was based on Li Shimin's proposal to surrender the main forces under Dong Zhuo's command, such as Li Jue and Guo Si, Lv Bu and Fan Chou, and other civil servants such as Li Su and Wu Yuanqing to help.However, there were two people who never surrendered. One was to repay Dong Zhuo's kindness, but at the same time he couldn't bear Dong Zhuo's domination of the court, and finally preferred Xu Rong who was buried for Dong Zhuo.One is Zhang Ji who also left his hometown in order to repay Dong Zhuo's kindness.

"But Xu Rong was buried. For more than 60 years, he was not employed until he defected to Dong Zhuo. After being suppressed for more than [-] years, he still has his heart for the big man. It is really rare. What's more, Zhang Ji, who is just a general under Niu Fu, unexpectedly also How can Dong Zhuo and He De be so loyal, and have such subordinates to be loyal to him?" Huangfusong couldn't help feeling emotional.

He has been a school lieutenant for at least 40 years, until Dong Zhuo appointed him to become a general of Zhonglang, and he should be taken seriously.When the feudal lords fought against Dong, Xu Rong personally set up a bureau, ambushed the heroes, killed Qiao Mao and Liu Dai, and repelled Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, and immediately became famous all over the world.Until this time, many people realized this buried talent.

It is rare that Xu Rong is still able to turn his heart to the court, at least he has no intention of exposing Li Shimin to Dong Zhuo, maybe he thinks that even if he tells him, Dong Zhuo may not believe him, right?In the end, he was buried for Dong Zhuo, which also fulfilled his loyalty!
The result of the final discussion among the princes of the imperial court was to send Lv Bu to Jingzhou to guard. The area in Nanyang is very suitable for cavalry operations.As for Hanzhong, after negotiation, Ma Teng was changed to General Zhengxi, and the army went south to attack Hanzhong.As for the governor of Liangzhou, Yang Biao was appointed after negotiation.

This is also what Ma Teng needs. He can lead the army to fight, but it is very difficult for him to govern the local area.He is not an ambitious traitor himself, so he is naturally willing to hand over Liangzhou's political rights.The earlier appointment was just to deter all forces and at the same time eliminate Dong Zhuo's influence on Liangzhou.

Sun Ce was sent to serve under Ma Teng's command, while Cheng Pu and Huang Gai were transferred to serve under Lu Bu's command.Wu Jing was nominated. As long as Zhang Ji disobeyed, Lu Bu would attack Nanyang County with all his strength. Once he recovered, Wu Jing would continue to serve as the governor of Nanyang County.

When the news reached Jingzhou, Liu Biao also heaved a sigh of relief.It was hard for him to let go of the military power, but he was also very aware of the combat effectiveness of Jingzhou soldiers. If he did not rely on the imperial court, Jingzhou might be lost in his hands.

Perhaps the relationship between Emperor Han still exists, Liu Biao did not have the idea of ​​​​separating Jingzhou as the emperor of the land.He was originally a relative of the emperor, so of course he put the interests of the big man first, even if he didn't have military power, so what?

"Is there any reply from Zhang Ji?" Liu Biao immediately looked at Kuai Yue. The envoy who sent out the order had been conveying the order to Zhang Ji for a month. If there was no reply from Zhang Ji, then basically he could directly contact Nanyang County. Use the army.

"The subordinates are here for this matter!" Kuai Yue took out a document, "Zhang Ji has agreed to send troops, and he will bring five thousand Xiliang iron cavalry and will go south to assist us in attacking Changsha County!"

"Why is there only five thousand?" Liu Biao frowned when he heard this. It is said that Zhang Xiu had at least [-] soldiers under his command.

"During this period, Zhang Xiu dismissed [-] soldiers and [-] auxiliary soldiers. Now Yuan Shu, the governor of Yuzhou, is eyeing Nanyang County, and Cao Cao, the governor of Yanzhou, is also at the frontier. He left his nephew Zhang Xiu to guard and personally lead the army. The army is going south." Kuai Yue replied.

"In that case, there's nothing to say..." Liu Biao breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thinking that Zhang Ji was still sensible.

 Ask for collection, ask for recommendation, ask for subscription!By the way, here is a complete supplement to Xu Rong's situation... At that time, it was indeed mentioned that since Xu Rong was loyal, why didn't he tell the truth.Perhaps, because he is a Hanchen, everything is that simple.Loyalty and righteousness are difficult to have both, and being buried for Dong Zhuo is considered a kindness of knowing you.
