When Yu conquered the nine states, Jingzhou began to exist.
It can be said that Jingzhou was one of the first regional administrative institutions to appear on the land of China. By the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was the most prosperous area of Chu State.
Chu originally means Jing, which is a deciduous shrub. This plant can be seen everywhere in the south and has powerful functions. The people of the Chu State used "Chu" as their national name, and they often called it "Jingchu" in conjunction with each other. It was also derogated by the countries in the Central Plains.
It is called "Jing Man". The thorn branches are slender and tall, and it is extremely painful to hit people, so the word "chuchu touching" is used, so there are also words such as "pain" and "suffering".
Therefore, in the beginning, the Jingzhou area and the Chu State were despised by the Central Plains.
"Guoyu", a classic book of the Zhou Dynasty, records that "in the past, the kings and princes allied with each other in Qiyang, and Chu was a Jingman. They set up thatch and a watchtower, and guarded the fire with Xianbei, so they did not make an alliance." The so-called "guarding the fire" means guarding
In the bonfire, a dignified Chu country was treated as a barbarian. They were responsible for watching the bonfire together with the barbarians. There were not even small benches to participate in the alliance meeting. This proves how much the Chu country was discriminated against at that time. It was also after this alliance meeting that the Chu country
King Xiong Yi led the people of the country to start a arduous business venture. The Chu people first settled in Danyang, which was just a small area. Later, they used this as a foothold to advance southward and developed into a huge country in the south, Jingzhou.
It was at this point in time that it developed and prospered.
Of course, the "Xianbei" in "Guoyu" is different from the Xianbei of the current Han Dynasty. The "Xianbei" during the Zhou Dynasty probably refers to the "Dongyi Kingdom" and is not the same.
Then after the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Chu State was still incompatible with the Central Plains. Even after the Qin State unified the whole country, although there were people dissatisfied with the Qin State in various regions, only the Chu State cried out, "Though Chu has three households, it will perish."
Qin Bichu'...
Therefore, it is obvious that the Jingchu region has always been in a conflict with the Central Plains, which has both connections and barriers.
Even in the Han Dynasty, the people of Jingzhou did not have much favorable impressions of the Central Plains people, at least they were not enthusiastic about wars in the Central Plains region. This also shows that the entire Jingzhou region, in the history of the early and middle Three Kingdoms, was basically free of battles.
external reasons.
Now, Liu Biao's youngest son, Liu Cong, has officially become a son, which is also the time of the crowning ceremony, so recently around Xiangyang, there has been an endless stream of people coming to give congratulatory gifts.
According to the Zhou rites, the crowning ceremony should be performed at the age of twenty. According to the Zhou system, men should be crowned at the age of twenty. However, in order to take charge of the country as soon as possible, the emperor and the princes often performed the crowning ceremony early. It is said that King Wen of Zhou was crowned at the age of twelve and became the king.
The crown was given at the age of fifteen, so in the Han Dynasty, the time of crown ceremony was generally between the ages of fifteen and twenty, which varied.
Moreover, according to the Han law, for young men aged seven to fourteen, there is a levy of levy, "If the people are not in trouble, the levy is twenty-two." That is to say, although those of this age do not need to be assigned corvee, they still have to pay it.
So in fact, among the people, after the age of fourteen, most people assume that they have reached adulthood and are considered an adult.
Liu Cong is obviously less than fifteen, but what does it matter?
For adults, the crowning ceremony is not simply to put on a hat, but it means that this person can fulfill the rights and obligations of an adult from the day after the crowning ceremony. This is for a man who attaches great importance to family inheritance.
For aristocratic families, it is undoubtedly a very important symbol.
What matters is not reaching this age, but having this right and obligation.
Cai Hao's face has been glowing these past few days, and he seems to be in a very comfortable mood, because from a certain perspective, Liu Cong can be regarded as half of the Cai family. Being able to let Liu Cong perform the crowning ceremony in advance means that Liu Biao made the final choice.
Still leaning towards Liu Cong.
This is not surprising either.
After all, it seems that many old people in later generations will leave their inheritance not to their children, but to caregivers who are not related by blood to take care of them, or other people. Because there is a very real problem before us.
, if one day Liu Biao really dies, should the one in front of him send him off for the last time, or should he wait for his other son who is far away to come back?
I'm afraid that by the time Liu Qi comes back, he'll be covered in maggots!
"Brother Degui," Kuai Liang said with a smile, "I happened to come here to bother you, it's my fault..."
Just like some salespeople, they talk about passing by by chance every day. In fact, most accidents are inevitable. Kuai Liang obviously cannot be a person who wanders around with nothing to do, so Cai Mao also laughed and did not mention him
Taking his words seriously, he introduced Kuai Liang to the study and sat down while chatting with him all the way.
After saying a few more words, Kuai Liang gradually got to the point.
"I heard that the tiger has arrived in Heluo..." Kuai Liang raised his head and said in a rather gloomy tone, "When the tiger comes out of the mountains and forests, the wind and clouds are stirring, and the roar shakes the river and Luo, disturbing people's soul..."
The smile on Cai Mao's face faded a little, and he gently stroked his beard and said: "When tigers come out of the mountains and forests, they naturally look for food. There is no food here, so why worry..."
Kuai Liang is now gradually showing his age, and the wrinkles between his eyebrows have become a lot deeper. After listening to Cai Mao's words, it seems that the wrinkles are a little deeper, "Whether tigers have intentions of hurting others, let's not talk about it for now, but people can't guard against tigers."
That’s what I meant...』
Cai Mao remained silent and did not answer immediately.
Could it be that Liu Biao's decision to hold Liu Cong's coronation ceremony at this time was just a whim? Obviously not, which also means that Liu Biao was afraid of any problems and had to make some preparations in advance.
What could go wrong?
Isn't it now such a big event that only the Qiusi came out of Guanzhong?
Therefore, it is obviously not convincing to say that Liu Biao's current actions have nothing to do with the Hussars General.
Kuai Liang used "tiger" to describe Fei Qian, which was actually explaining the dangers of Fei Qian. He believed that Fei Qian's coming out of seclusion this time was like a tiger coming out of the mountains and forests, and it would inevitably be stained with blood.
Cai Hao stopped smiling and frowned.
Speaking of which, Cai and Fei Qian are somewhat related, so Cai Mao has never regarded Fei Qian as a very dangerous opponent, let alone describing Fei Qian as a "tiger". After all, Fei Qian's previous title was
Quite confusing...
But Kuai Liang's repeated emphasis made Cai Mao hesitate again.
Cai Mao himself is not a very independent and capable person. At most, he is a taller one among the short ones. He is considered the number one figure in Jingzhou. Compared with many people, there is a slight gap. Fortunately,
Cai Hao himself knew this problem, so after taking over the Cai family, Cai Hao did not ambitiously expand his territory. He wanted to fight this today and that tomorrow, he was just maintaining his status quo.
"Zi Rou is too worried..." Cai Hao shook his head and said, "It's not like that..." Cai Hao had some contact with Fei Qian before. If he hadn't been a little slower back then, Fei Qian might have become Cai's relative.
Where will it be Lao Huang's turn?
Kuai Liang grinned, but there was not much smile in the smile. It looked a bit gloomy and cold. "If Jie Zitui knew that there would be a mountain fire in the future, would he be willing to cut his penis?"
It is a well-known fact that Jiezi pushed for the Cold Food Festival, but in fact, official articles will always be official articles. With Jin Wengong’s talents and strategies, can it be said that he does not know that water and fire are ruthless? Is it so eager to force Jiezi out of the mountain? Or is it that?
That mountain is so magical that only Jie Zitui can go into the mountain to escape, and then the rest of the ordinary soldiers can't search along the traces at all?
When Jin Wengong burned the mountain, he did not necessarily want to force Jiezi to push out of the mountain, but he wanted Jiezi to push him to death. Otherwise, why could he not find the remains before burning the mountain, and then after burning the mountain, the remains could be found with no difficulty?
The Jiezi is famous for its "cutting". Of course, official records show that it was the Jiezi who cut himself, but in reality? Anyone with any sense knows that in the era when there were no anti-inflammatory drugs, wounds exposed to the wild
, is a very troublesome problem, and the amount of meat that can feed Duke Wen of Jin is definitely not a small wound. If Jie Zitui really cut his thigh, let alone whether he can keep up with Duke Wen of Jin.
A painful escape journey, even an inflammation problem may not be able to be avoided!
So if it wasn't your own, who would it be?
Do you still remember the farmer who threw clods of soil to Chong'er and teased Chong'er to eat the soil? Chong'er couldn't ask for anything to eat, so he fainted from hunger on the road. Then Jiezi claimed that he went around in the ravine and then cut the soil.
After cutting off a considerable amount of meat, he added some wild vegetables and boiled a pot of fragrant broth and brought it back...
Chong'er ate it and burst into tears of gratitude. He said on the spot that if he succeeds in the future, he will definitely be promoted to a high official by Jie Zitu.
But everyone knows that if Jie Zitui becomes an official, sooner or later someone will know whether there is any injury on his leg. So when Chong'er became Duke Wen of Jin, Jie Zitui not only failed to become an official, but had to carry his mother into the mountains on his back.
…
Kuai Liang's meaning is very clear. A "big man" with great talents like Jin Wengong will not remember any kindness. The more kindness he has, the more of a burden it will be for these "big men". Can you, Cai Mao, guarantee that Fei
Is Qian the next Duke Wen of Jin? Cai Mao, do you think you are safe?
After hearing this, Cai Mao felt a chill in his heart and was speechless for a long time.
Kuai Liang was not in a hurry and drank tea slowly.
Perhaps a long time passed, or perhaps just a moment passed, Cai Mao whispered: "Since Zirou said this, do you have any concerns about it?"
Kuai Liang laughed and said, "If Chong'er does not take the title of Duke Wen, Jie Zitui will naturally be saved! In the past, when Qin was fighting against Han and Zhao, how could Jingchu be worried?"
Cai Mao took another breath.
This time, Kuai Mian's meaning was very clear.
On the whole, Jingzhou is indeed both connected and separated from the Central Plains. This relationship started from the Zhou Dynasty and lasted until the Han Dynasty. Therefore, many Jingzhou nobles were not keen on the so-called struggle between Shandong and Shanxi. They just wanted to
Preserve your family's longevity.
"Zhu and Zhang said that they took it upon themselves to pass through Jingzhou..." Kuai Liang continued to say slowly, "Who knows that it is not Jiezi who cut the penis? Let's try Jingzhou... If we accept it, we will treat it as evil Cao
Sikong, the hussar returned to Guanzhong and watched the chaos in Jingyu..."
Cai Mao frowned deeply, as if someone had carved several marks between his eyebrows with a knife.
Zhu Ling and Zhang Lie went all the way from Runan to Jingzhou, and temporarily stayed at the border of Jingzhou, saying that they were just passing through, and then they would return to Guanzhong from Wuguan. However, Liu Biao did not express his position immediately, and just asked Zhu Ling to send some food and grass.
Zhang Lie will wait for a while...
Cao Cao also sent an envoy and sent a letter asking Liu Biao not to take Zhu Ling and Zhang Lie in, nor to let Zhu Ling and Zhang Lie pass, otherwise it would be a breach of trust and a violation of the previous alliance.
Of course, Liu Biao also called everyone to discuss this matter. However, one is that Liu Biao is indeed old and has limited energy. The other is that Cai Hao and others have different opinions. Some support Fei Qian, while others say that they should pay attention to their relationship with Cao Cao.
The alliance, and others like Cai Mao, who were neutrals, could express their opinions, so Liu Biao did not make an immediate decision.
As for Kuai, he was unintentionally inclined to Cao Cao's side. After all, he had worked with Cao Cao to devour Yuan Shu's legacy over the years, and he had gained a certain amount of emotion. Therefore, he said that Zhu Ling and Zhang Lie must not let this matter go by like this.
, otherwise the alliance with Cao Cao breaks down, and the consequences will be disastrous. After all, Fei Qian is still holding Liu Qi hostage. If Fei Qian is really friendly with Jingzhou and gets along with Liu Biao, why not let Liu Qi go?
Since Fei Qian is in the first grade of junior high school, why can't Liu Biao be in the fifteenth grade? If he doesn't show some toughness, Jingzhou will probably be seen as weak and can be bullied. At the same time, even if he pleases Fei Qian, what can he gain?
Shi Fei Qian only had to return to Guanzhong once, and it was Liu Biao himself who was in contact with Cao Sikong every day!
Of course, under Liu Biao, there were many nobles who were close to the Huang family and had contacts with Fei Qian. Naturally, they were leaning towards Fei Qian, saying that as long as they had a good relationship with Fei Qian, why should they be afraid of Cao Cao? If Cao Cao dared to move Jingzhou,
As long as Fei Qian's troops leave Hangu, Cao Cao will have to retreat! There is no need to be afraid at all, and he has had a lot of business dealings with Fei Qian in recent years. Could it be said that he is ready to cut off the business? As for Liu Qi's matter, if Liu Qi had not entered
Sichuan... No, if that guy Liu Bei hadn't rebelled, the eldest son Liu Qi would not have ended up like this. Fei Qian cannot be blamed, it must be Liu Bei's fault.
I heard that the eldest son Liu Qi is doing well in Guanzhong, at least much better than that Liu Zhang. Does this mean that General Fei Qian actually values his friendship with Jingzhou...
The two sides were at loggerheads, and Liu Biao found it difficult to make an immediate decision.
But now, the attitude of Cai Mao, who is in the middle and even slightly biased towards the Huang family, is very critical. This is also the reason why Kuai Liang passed by by chance and came to visit.
As long as Cai Mao's attitude is clear, unintentionality will be the decisive force.
Cai Mao raised his head and was speechless for a long time...
