Deng Yuan has a beautiful face, which is absolutely different from other people, while Huang Yueying has yellow hair, dark skin, and ugly appearance. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are different from each other. However, the two hit it off and hit it off. Such a scene can't help but make people marvel.

Zhuge Liang is very fond of the tiger-headed Liu Qi. He and Huang Yueying have been married for more than three years, but unfortunately his wife's stomach has not moved. However, considering that both of them are still young, he is not in a hurry. His brother Zhuge Jin is 27 this year. There is only one girl under her knees.

Seeing this, Liu Jing couldn't help but have a thoughtful look on his face. Historically, Zhuge Liang was over forty before he gave birth to his heir, Zhuge Zhan. The history books did not clearly state who Zhuge Zhan's biological mother was, but Huang Yueying was only two years younger than Zhuge Liang, so Zhuge Zhan was very likely. Eighty-nine is not the origin. In other words, Huang Yueying is very likely to be infertile.

Zhuge Liang had no idea about this and said with Liu Jing: "Zhongda, Ayang starts talking when he smiles. He is smart and cute. He is really a good boy."

Liu Jing came back to his senses, his eyes fell on his son Liu Qi, full of tenderness, and said with a smile: "Although this son can't talk long, he is quite understanding... This is not the place to talk..." After that, , Liu Jing invited Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu and their families to the Prime Minister's residence.

As he was about to leave for the south tomorrow and there was a ban on alcohol, Liu Jing decided to keep everything simple and only held a family banquet in his house to welcome Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu.

That night, the three of them chatted until late at night and fell asleep together.

The next morning, the sky was overcast, and soon it started to rain lightly.

Liu Jing didn't take it seriously. Changsha was already humid and rainy, with few sunny days all year round. Moreover, if it rained during an expedition, it was called "Heaven washes the troops" and "Heaven washes the troops in rain", which is not a bad thing.

When King Wu of Zhou was attacking Zhou, his army reached Xingqiu, and the yoke was broken into three, and it rained continuously for three days. King Wu of Zhou thought it was a warning from God, and felt great fear in his heart. He summoned Jiang Ziya, and Duke Zhou and others asked King Zhou if he could attack.

Duke Zhou persuaded King Wu to withdraw from the army on the grounds that the army had invaded Tai Sui, Gui Zhuo's words were evil, and the divination was unlucky.

Jiang Ziya was the ancestor of military strategists and did not believe in ghosts and gods. He said, "If you use soldiers, it may not be good for you to follow the way of heaven, and it may not be bad for you to go against it. If you lose personnel, the three armies will be defeated. Moreover, the ghosts and gods of heaven cannot see or hear them. Therefore, the wise are lawless, and the foolish are restrained..." He also enumerated King Zhou's crimes, believed that withered grass and turtle bones were not trustworthy, refuted Duke Zhou, appeased King Wu, fought against everyone's opinions, and insisted on attacking King Zhou. Later, Jiang Ziya "burned the bones of turtles" "We should use chopsticks to support the people and drums to cross the river first." He led the army to Muye, seventy miles south of Chaoge, united the princes, defeated King Zhou in a battle, invaded Chaoge, and destroyed the Yin and Shang Dynasties.

Of course, although it is not considered unlucky to encounter rain during an expedition, it is undeniable that traveling in rainy days is inconvenient after all, and Liu Jing had to cancel the original swearing-in ceremony.

Following him this time were Liu Liang, his clan brother, with more than a thousand infantry and 700 cavalry, Han Guang's 1,000 infantry and 700 cavalry, Gan Ning's 800 Yi Cong, and a thousand barbarian troops in a single day. Qu has a thousand elite troops, totaling more than 6,000 people. Together with the navy soldiers, the number is close to 10,000.

Brother Liu Xiu led three thousand troops to stay in Linxiang. Together with Wang Qiang and Liu Zhu's navy stationed in Baqiu, they were enough to ensure that Liu Jing had no worries. Even if Liu Biao and Sun Quan launched a massive attack, I believe they could hold on until Liu Jing returned. aid.

What needs to be explained has been explained before, and there is no need to elaborate. Liu Jing was respectfully seen off by the Changsha County officials headed by Liu Xiu, Liu Kang, and Huan Jie, and turned around to board the building ship on the shore.

Walking into the royal chamber on the top floor of the building, Liu Jing saw Lai Gong holding Zhuge Liang in conversation. The two of them had accompanied Liu Jing to Xinye to welcome his bride. After getting along, Lai Gong admired Zhuge Liang very much, and they helped him a lot since then. The year before last, Lai Gong

The two of them parted ways when they followed the army south to Changsha, but now they are reunited in Jingnan, and Lai Gong is quite happy.

Lai Gong was very kind to Liu Jing in the past, and the two of them had a half-teacher friendship. Therefore, after Lai Gong returned and surrendered, Liu Jing always took him with him. When he was released to Kuai Qi, Liu Jing once asked him if he had any secrets from the North.

The meaning of return.

After careful consideration, Lai Gong finally decided to stay in Jingnan. This is not difficult to understand, not to mention the close relationship between the two. Now Liu Jing's separatist rule in Jingnan has become a foregone conclusion. Compared with the declining Liu Biao,

, Liu Jing can be said to be the rising sun, full of vitality, Lai Gong naturally knows how to choose.

Liu Jing sat down and asked with a smile: "Lai Jun, Kong Ming, what are you talking about?"

"Let's talk about things in the north." Lai Gong sighed: "Since ancient times, the purpose of ordering generals to send troops is to defeat the enemy. If they can defeat the enemy, they will be rewarded even though they are greedy; if they fail, they will be punished even though they are honest. Cai Degui did not have the talent of a general, but because of his in-laws

He became the commander-in-chief of the Jingzhou navy. Since he went south, he has lost many boatmen and all his ships and equipment. He should be severely punished by military law. However, the general did not punish Cai Degui for his defeat in the war. He still served as general and trusted him as before. "

Liu Jing had already heard from Zhuge Liang about this matter. When Liu Biao saw Cai Hao who had fled back in embarrassment, he was furious and furious, but in the end he did not impose any substantial punishment, and soon asked him to return to Jiangling to assist Liu Qi.

In fact, Liu Biao also had his own difficulties. When he rode into Jingzhou alone, it was with the strong support of Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, and Huang Zu that he was able to secure his position in Jingzhou. The three of them became Liu Biao's most effective helpers in ruling Jingzhou.

.

Liu Biao actually controlled four and a half counties in Jingzhou, namely Zhangling County, Nanjun, Jiangxia County, Wuling County, and the other half was Nanyang County. Previously, Cai Mao (Nanjun), Kuaiyue (Zhangling), and Huang Zu (Jiangxia) had their own control.

First, this shows how much Liu Biao relied on the three of them.

At the end of last year, Huang Zu was attacked by Sun Ce. His troops and warships were all wiped out. Huang Zu only escaped with his body, but his vitality was severely damaged and he had nothing to rely on.

Kuai Yue went to Zhangling as the prefect to guard Xinye and resist the north. He cooperated with Zhang Xiu and defeated Cao Cao repeatedly. Unexpectedly, he accidentally died in Jingnan in the end, and his great reputation was ruined in one day.

Under such circumstances, if Liu Biao severely punished Cai Mao, it would be tantamount to cutting off his own limbs. The consequences would be serious and may even shake his rule.

However, if it were Liu Jing, he would definitely make a completely different decision than Liu Biao.

Liu Jing's fleet filed out from Beijin, and all of a sudden, boats and boats followed each other, thousands of sails competed, hundreds of boats competed for the current, and they headed south across the Yangtze River.

On both sides of the Xiang River, you can see groups of refugees heading north in carts or on foot from time to time. Most of these people are Changsha people who fled to Lingling in the past two years to avoid the war.

As the news of Liu Jing's recapture of Changsha spread to Lingling, the people in Changsha who had left their hometown and lived under the shelter of others were all overjoyed. When the flood receded, they dragged their families back north and returned home. However, Zhang Jin led his army to invade Lingling, which eliminated the

The last trace of doubt in the hearts of people in Changsha. Now, hundreds of miles from Quanling to Linxiang, there are Changsha people returning home everywhere.
