Cai Sheng and Ma Zhou stayed at Liu Jing's house until evening. In order to avoid being crowded with people tomorrow and exposing their identities, they rejected Liu Jing's suggestion to stay overnight and followed Liu Zhu quietly back to Beijing, where they spent the night on the boat with their soldiers.
Early the next morning, Liu's Wu changed its usual tranquility and became a noisy scene. Not only the clansmen in Wubao, but also the nine tribes in the countryside who rarely interacted with each other on weekdays came one after another. There was only one reason. Liu Jing was going north today.
Marrying the daughter of the Deng family in Nanyang. This incident is definitely the most sensational event for the Liu family in Longqiu in recent years.
Liu Pan, Liu Cheng and other clan members serving in the county government took a day off specifically to see off Liu Jing. Unfortunately, the Yuzhang refugees in Liling showed signs of instability. Liu Zong was ordered to station in Liling and suppressed the dissatisfied. At this time, it was difficult to escape.
He specifically asked his brother Liu Cheng to apologize to Liu Jing on his behalf, and said that on Liu Jing's wedding day, he would come back for a wedding banquet no matter what.
Liu Jing was not surprised. As the chief secretary, he knew the situation in Liling better than anyone else. He even sent Liu Zong to Liling to suppress the refugees, and he was also one of the decision-makers.
Liu Liang did not take leave. He directly resigned from his position as a city official and was determined to follow Liu Jing northward.
Liu Jing was quite dumbfounded by his behavior of beheading first and reporting later, but he did not blame him. When he came back, he summoned him into the chief register room. This was not difficult for Liu Jing.
Liu Jing was surrounded by hundreds and thousands of Liu clan members as he walked out of the gate of Wubao. Liu He and Liu Rao followed Liu Jing step by step. Neither of them looked very happy, especially Liu He, who had both eyebrows.
He wrinkled into an "eight" shape and looked sad.
Liu Rao was sad because he was about to be separated from his brother, but Liu He had other things on his mind. He had never been to a place further than Linxiang since he was a child. He wanted to follow Liu Jing to see the outside world, but he
Not only was his mother strongly opposed to this idea, but his brother, who had always been responsive to his requests, also disapproved of it. How could he not feel sad about this?
The reason why Liu Jing disapproved was for his own sake. After all, the road was not peaceful and fighting was likely to occur. Liu He was only twelve years old and his mind was not yet mature. There was no need to experience this in advance.
He reached out and touched the horns on the heads of his younger brother and younger sister, and then said goodbye to the senders one by one. Under the welcome of the tribe, he left in a carriage.
Of course, people from the same clan were not the only ones to see Liu Jing off. Others were waiting in Beijin.
The people who saw him off were roughly divided into two groups. One group all wore commendatory robes and high crowns, including Du Xi, Liu Qi, Huan Yi... even Huan Jie came. Obviously, he not only represented himself, but also represented Zhang Xian.
The other group came. The other group were Liu Jing's former subordinates in the market, Zheng Zheng, Xie Liang, Chao Chao, and the assistants in the chief bookkeeper's office.
The identity of the two groups of people is very different, and they are clearly divided.
Du Xi held Liu Jing's hand tightly and said with an extremely serious expression: "Zhongda, when you arrive in Nanyang, you must pay more attention to the situation in Luoyang."
At the beginning of this year, the emperor was somewhat settled in Hedong. Without external pressure such as Li Jue, internal fighting among Han Xian, Dong Cheng and others would immediately break out. Zhao Qi, the imperial servant, believed that Hedong was not a place to stay for a long time, so he took the initiative to request an envoy to Jingzhou and successfully persuaded Liu Biao.
Let him provide military supplies for hundreds of officers and soldiers, and send people to repair the Luoyang palace to welcome the emperor.
In July, the emperor finally returned to Luoyang after six years and many hardships. In August, General Zhendong, Yanzhou Mu, and Fei Tinghou Cao Cao entered Luoyang and were appointed as Sili Xiaowei.
Yue. So far, the emperor has used Cao Cao and Liu Biao as the national barrier. He no longer has to worry about the threat of Liangzhou generals, and the Han Dynasty is beginning to see the light of day.
"Don't worry, brother, I will pay more attention to it." Liu Jingpo nodded "solemnly". In fact, he knew the future situation well and there was no need to bother.
Du Xi was extremely anxious at this time and couldn't help but sigh: "If Liu Jingsheng hadn't been jealous, I would have really wanted to go north with Zhongda."
It’s no wonder that he was a little impatient. As Cao Cao entered Luo to meet the emperor, his power covered Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Sili, and he became one of the few powerful princes in the world. More importantly, his hometown Yingchuan
It has returned to Cao Cao's rule, and many people from the same county, including Xun Yu, Zao Zhi, Xi Zhicai, etc., are serving in Cao Cao's camp. Recently, Zhao Yan and Fan Qin, friends from the same hometown who have been living in Xiangyang, have written letters one after another. They have already expressed their intention to defect to Cao Cao.
And invited him to return with his family to the north.
Du Xi was very anxious, but did not act immediately. Firstly, the situation in the north was still a bit chaotic, so he wanted to wait and see. Secondly, he and his family had already settled in Changsha, how could they just leave? Thirdly, he also wanted to
Attend Liu Jing's wedding.
Liu Jing was silent for a while before he persuaded him: "In my opinion, in one or two months, the situation in the north will become clearer. Brother, just wait for the good news."
With Liu Jing's words, Du Xi immediately felt relieved. After getting along with him for more than a year, how could he not know how amazing Liu Jing's knowledge and vision were. Up to now, what Liu Jing said about world affairs,
There has never been a single mistake. Du Xi simply regarded him as a heavenly being. Even if he was left to wait for resurrection, how could he go past it?
Liu Yao was nearly eight feet long, standing tall and graceful in appearance. He took out a letter from his sleeves and said to Liu Jing: "Zhongda will definitely stop in Xiangyang this time to welcome Kong Ming. When he sees Kong Ming, please do it for me."
Give him this letter."
Liu Jing took the letter, nodded and said, "Wenlang must bring it to you."
"Zhongda, it is inconvenient for you to travel, so you have specially ordered me to see you off." Huan Jie then said half-jokingly: "Zhongda, Xiangyang is prosperous, so don't let your eyes wander."
Liu Jingshi smiled and said, "I'm afraid Tsunaji is too worried."
Huan Jie laughed loudly and said: "Changsha is a small country with a narrow territory and no room for talents. I am worried about this. How can I not worry about it?" He quoted Liu Jing's ancestor Liu Fa, the king of Changsha, who won zero by dancing.
Ling, an allusion to the two counties of Guiyang.
Liu Jing naturally knew this allusion and shook his head with a smile.
Huan Yi simply said a few words to Liu Jing. The two of them lived next to each other, not to mention getting together every day.
Liu Jing finally came to his subordinates and boarded the ship as they paid their respects.
This time going north, not only Liu Zhu's six cargo ships, but also three battleship-class ships will accompany them. These three ships all carry fifty sailors and sixty soldiers, plus watchmen and helmsmen.
, a total of more than one hundred and twenty people.
Passing Huang's shipyard on the way, Liu Jing made a special trip to see Huang Fanggong because he had ordered fifteen more large ships from his shipyard, five of which were Doujian class ships.
Regarding Liu Jing, a big customer, Huang Fanggong did not dare to neglect him and called all his disciples and grandchildren to accompany him.
Liu Jing did not stay here for long. After taking a quick look at the ships under construction, he left.
