The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 29 Prefect of Jiangxia
General Zhennan was an official position appointed by the imperial court to Liu Biao. It was the military leadership organization in Jingzhou and was much higher than Sun Quan's general who wanted to conquer the captives.Although the Sima of the General's Office has a higher position than the General and can nominally be in charge of Jingzhou's army, this all depends on whether Liu Biao trusts you or not.If Liu Biao trusts him, he can control the military power of Jingzhou. If Liu Biao doesn't trust him, he will be a sinecure. He will always be under Liu Biao's nose and he can deal with you how he wants.

Liu Biao is indeed an old fox. Although he is so old, he is still cautious!This is to take my military power quietly. If I believe your ghost and come to Xiangyang, I don’t know how I will die in the future. The old man is very bad!
Therefore, Zhang Wu refused because of his lack of ability.Liu Biao didn't dare to do anything to Zhang Wu. Although Zhang Wu was in Xiangyang, Chen Sun and Gan Ning were in Jiangxia, and the military power was still in their hands. If something happened to Zhang Wu, Jiangxia would definitely be in chaos. It's coming to Xiangyang.

Liu Biao still remembers the fear of being attacked by Sun Jian's soldiers in Xiangyang, which almost wiped him out.

After the two parties' explorations were over, Zhang Wu raised another matter, and he said, "I would like to report to Master Zhou Mu, I have something to report to you as an officer."

"What's the matter?"

"Since Huang Lao Taishou was murdered, the post of Jiangxia's prefect has been vacant. The lower official is a military general and is not good at civil affairs. Therefore, I want to ask Master Zhou to appoint a person with high prestige to come to Jiangxia as the prefect, so that the lower official can concentrate on running the army. , to defend against the Jiangdong invasion."

"Oh? I will discuss this matter with all the officials." After speaking, Liu Biao picked up the tea bowl, pretending to drink tea.

Zhang Wu knew that Liu Biao wanted him to leave, so he said: "Then I will resign, I guess that Jiangdong will never let it go, and will surely invade Jiangxia. Drive the Jiangdong thieves back, protect Jiangxia, and ensure the safety of Jingzhou!"

"Okay, I see." Liu said expressionlessly, but he hated Zhang Wu in his heart. Aren't you threatening me with the safety of Jingzhou?
"Resignation, my subordinate." Zhang Wu saluted again and walked out.

After Zhang Wu left, Liu Biao said to the people around him, "Go and invite the military adviser and the master."

"Yes, Lord State Shepherd."

After Zhang Wu left the State Shepherd's Mansion, he was also quite emotional. Liu Biao is indeed an old fox, with a lot of scheming, but unfortunately he is old. He only thinks about his own three-acre land, and he has no tolerance for others. Make plans.

It should be said that Liu Biao was considered a hero at the beginning. He rode into Jingzhou alone, lured and killed the sect thieves, recruited Zhang Wu and Chen Sun, and thus controlled the seven counties of Jingzhou except Nanyang County.Later, while defending Xiangyang, the ambush soldiers shot Sun Jian to death, cut off Yuan Shu's food supply, and forced Yuan Shu to leave in the direction of Yanzhou and Yuzhou, which indirectly contributed to the later battle of Kuangting between Yuan Shu and Cao Cao.

This move not only completely eliminated Yuan Shu's ambition to covet Jingzhou, but also weakened Yuan Shu's influence with the power of Cao Cao's army, making him farther away from Jingzhou, reducing the threat to Jingzhou, and consolidating his own ruling power in Jingzhou.

Later, Liu Yan, the shepherd of Yizhou, died of illness, and his son Liu Zhang was taken to the throne immediately. Liu Biao also took the opportunity to send Liu He to instigate against Liu Zhang's subordinates, causing civil strife in Yizhou.After Zhang Xiu attached himself to Liu Biao, the two cooperated to send troops to attack Cao Hong many times, which put a lot of pressure on Cao Hong. It was not until Cao Cao personally led troops to fight that the situation was restored.

During the four to eight years of Jian'an, Liu Biao fought against Jiaozhou Mu Zhangjin many times in order to get his hands on Jiaozhou, and kept fighting against Jiaozhou.After Zhang Jin was killed by his subordinates, Liu Biao immediately dispatched his subordinate Lai Gong as the governor of Jiaozhou, hoping to occupy Jiaozhou before the imperial court appointed officials.At the same time, he appointed his subordinate Wu Ju as prefect of Cangwu to replace Shi Huang who had just died of illness.

It can be said that Liu Biao was quite ambitious back then, but it is a pity that his will was depressed and he did not want to make progress in his old age.

After Cai Mao and Kuai Yue visited Liu Biao at Zhoumu Mansion one after another, Liu Biao told them what happened to Zhang Wu just now and asked them what they thought.

Cai Hao thought that Zhang Wu was not pleasing to his eyes, so he said: "That Zhang Wu, his second younger brother Chen Sun, and third younger brother Gan Ning are all thieves, with bad conduct, and they control Jiangxia's military power. There is a serious danger, so my lord should make plans early and look for an opportunity to get rid of these three people."

Kuai Yue also said: "Zhang Wu is unwilling to leave Jiangxia to take up a post in Xiangyang. His intentions are obvious. But he has just won a battle, and with the help of Chen Sun and Gan Ning, he has firmly controlled Jiangxia's military power. It is not appropriate to move him, otherwise it may cause chaos, so we will plan it slowly in the future."

"Well, this person was able to defeat the Jiangdong army, and even captured Han Dang, a veteran Jiangdong general. If he wants to make trouble, it will be a big disaster. Give him food, grass and equipment first, which will not only make him feel at ease, but also make him defend Jiangxia and reject Jiangdong. What do you two think about his proposal of appointing someone to serve as the prefect of Jiangxia?"

"This matter may be an opportunity. My lord will send a trustworthy person to take charge of Jiangxia, and gradually divide and win over the three Zhang Wu brothers, or make them kill each other, or win over the lower generals. When the time is right, it can be decided at one stroke." Kuai Liang suggested.

"Are there any suitable candidates for those two?" Liu Biao asked again.

For the position of prefect in other counties, these two people would have already started fighting for the position of prefect. To be able to win the prefect of a county would be a great improvement in strength for a family.But the prefect of Jiangxia is a bit special, because after arriving, he not only has to fight for power with Zhang Wu, but also defends against Jiangdong's invasion, which is life-threatening.

Cai Mao and Kuai Yue thought about it for a long time, but they couldn't think of a suitable candidate, because this person must be deeply trusted by Liu Biao and must have sufficient prestige and ability.It is quite appropriate for Kuai Yue to have an older brother named Kuai Liang, who is both strategic and trustworthy. However, Kuai Liang is now the governor of Jiangling and will definitely not go to Jiangxia to suffer. Moreover, in terms of position, Jiangling is more important to a family than Jiangxia. .

The three of them couldn't find a suitable candidate for a while, so they put it aside for discussion.

Zhang Wu sent a subordinate to Zhao Jian's house to deliver the letter written by Mi Heng and left Xiangyang.He knew that his strength was still very weak, even if he personally visited a great talent like Zhao Jian, he would not take refuge in him. At most, he would give him a smile, but if he came to Jingzhou in the future, he still had a chance. Those who want to be officials just haven’t chosen a boss yet.

Facts have proved that although Mi Heng's friends are not many, they are all very strong.After Zhao Jian received Mi Heng's letter, he was very surprised.When he first heard that Mi Heng was killed by Huang Zu, he was still sad for a long time, but he, who resigned from office and lived in seclusion, did not have the strength to avenge his friend.

Later, I heard that my friend was not dead and was still doing well in Jiangxia. Zhao Jian couldn't help but wonder what kind of person could tolerate such a big troll like Mi Heng.

Although it is not clear why Ni Heng asked him to persuade the eldest son Liu Qi to serve as the prefect of Jiangxia, but considering Liu Qi's current situation, maybe this is a good choice for him, otherwise he might be killed by Cai Mao at any time.
