Chapter 409 Zhuge Liang's Uncle and Uncle (Three in One)
Chapter 409 Zhuge Liang’s Uncle and Uncle (Three in One)
"...I never expected that Liu Cheng, a man who started killing pigs for others, would have such knowledge and skill to attack a wealthy family in Yizhou.
This is similar to how I wiped out the clan traitors here in Jingzhou.
From him, you can see a bit of my style.
It seems that the reason why this person was able to gain such a status so quickly was not just because he was lucky and knew how to fight and win battles.
He is also very skilled in governing local areas and fighting against local forces.
From this point of view, being a Han clan clan member like me does not insult our status as Han clan clan clan members."
Here in Xiangyang, Jingzhou, Liu Biao said this after meeting Lou Zhong and others.
Everyone seemed quite emotional.
It feels like meeting a close friend.
As he said this, he thought of Liu Yan and his son, who had high hopes for him, but turned out to be very ambitious and weak in ability. They were pushed aside by Liu Cheng in a few moments, and he couldn't help but feel deep contempt.
He spat down and said: "To have a son, you should be like Liu Kede, like Liu Yan and Liu Yan, and like a dolphin dog!"
His words really had a big impact.
Historically, Boss Cao only scolded his son Liu Jingsheng, saying he was like a pig or a dog.
When it came to him, he was even more ruthless. Even Liu Yan was classified into the ranks of pigs and dogs, and went to be with pigs and dogs...
"My husband is absolutely right in what he said. Liu Yan and his son are really useless. Yizhou is such a big place and there are so many natural dangers to defend. But in the end, they were completely destroyed in just two months.
Even he was scolded to death in public.
Such a person is actually a member of the Han clan, which is really embarrassing to my husband."
A woman with a big belly next to her echoed Liu Biao's heroic words.
This woman is Liu Biao's wife, the second daughter of the Cai family, and Cai Mao's sister, Mrs. Cai, who can be Liu Biao's daughter.
Hearing the words spoken by his beautiful young wife and looking at his wife's swollen belly, Liu Biao felt even more majestic and heroic.
"Then Liu Yan is a real loser. If I were in Yizhou, no matter what, I would be able to defend Yizhou!
Even if you can't hold it, you can't do it like him, just three times or two times and it won't work!"
As Liu Biao said this, he became more energetic.
It's okay if it's just me.
When your husband talks, it will naturally not fall to the ground.
Although Mrs. Cai knew that at her age, she would not be able to be her father's husband, and she could not expose it at this time.
Immediately, he started to praise his husband for his bravery and invincibility.
After talking like this for a while, Mrs. Cai said: "Husband, are you really going to take in those people from the Lou family?"
Liu Biao nodded and said: "Uncle Lou, my father and I have a very close relationship. When I was young, my father and I stayed at Uncle Lou's house for a long time.
Treat each other like your own nephew.
Now that Uncle Lou's family is facing such a difficult situation, I don't care if I don't send troops to avenge him. If his family members don't take him in, wouldn't it be too arrogant?
After the incident is spread, what will the world say about me, Liu Biao, and how will I, Liu Biao, behave?"
Mrs. Cai nodded upon hearing this, and after confirming Liu Biao's affection for her old friend, she added: "But the Lou family, Shen family and others provoked Uncle Liu Huang and wanted to assassinate Liu Cheng.
If my husband took them in, wouldn't he offend Uncle Liu Huang?
Now that Liu Cheng owns the land of Yizhou and has won a great victory in the land of Yizhou, it is the time when his troops are strong and his morale is high. If he really sends troops down the river for this reason..."
Liu Biao waved his hand and said: "Don't worry about this. When Liu Cheng first gained Yizhou, his people's hearts were unstable. The Lou family and others took action against him, which is the best testimony.
As long as this matter has a beginning, if you want to solve it and stop it, it cannot be done in a short while.
When I first entered Jingzhou, it took me nearly half a year to sort out this matter.
I entered Jingzhou peacefully, and Liu Cheng entered Yizhou with his troops. In this process, some people from aristocratic families must have died, or their interests have been violated, and the resistance must be fierce.
If you want to solve it, it will take at least half a year to take action.
By that time, so many things had happened, and other Yizhou families were there to set off the situation, while the Lou family was not very conspicuous.
There is a high chance that it will be forgotten in time.
Even if I remember, 90% of the time I won’t care about it anymore..."
Liu Biao talked eloquently here, using himself as the standard to make inferences with certainty.
Cai said a few more words on this matter. Seeing that Liu Biao had no intention of letting go, she stopped talking.
Instead, he began to caress his swollen belly with his hands, imagining whether the child was a boy or a girl, talking to the child in his belly, and discussing the child's name with Liu Biao.
After saying these words, the slight unhappiness that arose in Liu Biao's heart suddenly disappeared without a trace...
After Mrs. Cai talked to Liu Biao for a while, she left here...
Liu Biao sighed softly.
He wanted to let the Lou family, as well as the Shen family who came with the Lou family and other families, stay. Not only what he said, but the head of the Lou family, who was probably dead, had a good relationship with his father and was his.
elder.
More importantly, he wants to increase his own strength by absorbing and accepting these people.
Develop his own power.
Liu Biao just told Mrs. Cai that he came to Jingzhou and spent half a year to wipe out the clan traitors.
In fact, what he said was not entirely correct.
The power he borrowed to wipe out the clan traitors was still the clan power in Jingzhou.
For example, the Kuai family where Kuai Liang lives, and his young and beautiful wife’s natal Cai family...
Relying on the cooperation with these families, the many clans in Jingzhou were cleaned up, which made these families become more and more powerful.
Liu Biao said he was a Jingzhou herdsman, but in fact his power was still limited. Without these large clans that cooperated with him, he still lacked prestige here in Jingzhou.
If you want to become powerful, you must start cultivating your own power.
It was at this time that Lou Zhong came with people to join him.
Although these people in Louzhong are less famous, they are better than they are after old friends, and they are also behind old friends who are in trouble.
After accepting it, cultivate it and become your own person properly.
Therefore, when Mrs. Cai made inquiries, Liu Biao refused to let go.
Of course, although most of what was said was to silence Mrs. Cai, many of them were true.
He really believed that under the current circumstances, it was impossible for Liu Cheng to resolve the matter in Yizhou in a short period of time...
"...Husband, he doesn't want Lou Zhong and the others to leave."
Mrs. Cai met her brother Cai Mao and said this.
Cai Hao nodded and said: "I understand, this is also reasonable. It is normal for Jing Sheng to want to develop some of his own power."
After Cai Mao said something to Mrs. Cai, he separated from Mrs. Cai and went to another place.
There are three brothers and sisters Cai Mao.
Cai Mao has an elder sister above and a younger sister below.
The younger sister married Liu Biao, who entered Jingzhou, and became his second wife, while the older sister married Huang Chengyan, a famous scholar in Jingzhou.
Now she has given birth to a daughter, who is eight or nine years old and named Huang Yueying.
That's right, it's the Huang Yueying who was married to Prime Minister Zhuge in history.
Cai Mao is Huang Yueying's biological uncle, and Mrs. Cai is Huang Yueying's biological aunt.
In other words, historically, when Prime Minister Zhuge met Cai Mao, he would call him uncle, and when he saw Liu Biao, he would call him uncle.
It can be seen that many times in the Three Kingdoms, a group of relatives were fighting and competing with each other...
"...There is nothing wrong with what Liu Jingzhou did. I can understand his mood and behavior."
Here in Jingzhou, a man dressed as a scholar spoke in a calm voice.
Opposite him sat Cai Mao.
"However, at this time, it is not very wise to do this.
At this time, the focus should be on the competition with Sun Jian and Yuan Shu.
Preserve the land of Jingzhou.
It was not time to stir up trouble and provoke Uncle Liu Huang at this time.
Liu Cheng had already occupied Yizhou at this time, and had just achieved a great victory in Yizhou. The morale of his troops was at a high level.
If you take a boat and sail down the river, you can reach Jingzhou.
And Liu Cheng was not just Liu Cheng, there was Dong Zhuo behind him, and the emperor controlled by Dong Zhuo.
Liu Yan, the pastor of Yizhou, could be a rebel, and the emperor's edict could also say that Liu Jingzhou was a rebel.
If Liu Cheng goes east from Yizhou, Dong Zhuo will send troops out of Wuguan.
With Yuan Shu and Sun Jian by his side, even if Yuan Shao is willing to desperately come to rescue him, it still won't work..."
The person who spoke out was Kuai Liang.
Cai Mao still believed in the wisdom of the Kuai brothers.
In addition, they are now in the same spirit, so they came here to listen to Kuai Liang's opinions.
"Here, this Liu Cheng won't go into such a big fight just because of these trivial things, right?
Those people in Louzhong are just small people."
Cai Hao said in disbelief.
Kuai Liang said with a smile: "When he wants to attack you, no matter how small a thing is, he can magnify it and make a big fuss about it, becoming a reason to attack."
After hearing this, Cai Mao thought about it and felt that Kuai Liang's words were very reasonable.
"Go back and advise Liu Jingzhou carefully. At this moment, if you can, don't provoke Liu Cheng."
Kuai Liang said this to Cai Mao.
He and Cai Mao, the aristocratic families in Jingzhou, have the same aspirations.
This appeal is for Jingzhou to be stable.
Only when Jingzhou is stable can big families like them develop better and safeguard their own interests.
If Yuan Shu and Sun Jian had not threatened the stability of Jingzhou, they would not have fully supported Liu Biao in dealing with these two men.
Especially Sun Jian, the wealthy families and celebrities in Jingzhou really didn't like him.
I dislike this person for being too rude.
Pure martial arts style.
Earlier, soldiers and horses passed through Jingzhou, forcing Wang Rui, the governor of Jingzhou, to death, and hacked to death Zhang Zi, the prefect of Nanyang.
Both of them were famous people, so these Jingchu clans naturally did not want to see Sun Jian.
Now, Yuan Shu and Sun Jian have not been solved yet, and they are going to provoke Uncle Liu Huang, a more fierce person.
They resist from the bottom of their hearts.
After some discussions with Kuai Liang, Cai Mao returned from here and then personally sought out Liu Biao to explain his interests.
He turned many of Kuai Liang's words into his own and talked to Liu Biao.
Advise Liu Biao to expel Lou Zhong and others from Jingzhou.
In fact, the best way is not to drive them away, but to chop these people up, or tie them up and send them to Liu Cheng, so as to make Liu Cheng a good friend...
Liu Biao seemed to disagree with what Cai Mao said, and still spoke of the kindness between the Lou family and him.
Liu Cheng would not go to war with Cai Mao because of such a trivial matter.
Cai Mao saw that Liu Biao had a firm attitude on this matter, so he couldn't say anything further.
After all, Liu Biao is his brother-in-law, and he is also the state pastor of Jingzhou. If Liu Biao really wants to do something, he can't stop him desperately.
Of course, this is mainly because what Liu Bian wants to do now does not involve their fundamental interests.
When it comes to it, they can do anything...
After Cai Mao left, Liu Biao thought for a while and called his trusted people to inadvertently drive Cai Mao and others out of Louzhong. He even killed or tied up Louzhong and others.
, the matter given to Liu Cheng was revealed to Lou Zhong and others...
Soon, Lou Zhong and others learned the news and couldn't help being shocked.
In less than an hour, Lou Zhong and others hurriedly came to see Liu Biao.
He came to tell Liu Biao about his past friendship and begged Liu Biao to take him in.
Even later, Lou Zhong knelt on one knee and said: "Brother Jingsheng, if you really think that we are a disaster and will cause trouble, please ask my brother to tie us up and send us to Yizhou to give to Liu Cheng
.
To avoid bringing disaster to Jingzhou and my brother."
In this case, how could Liu Biao endure it and immediately helped Lou Zhong and others up.
He took Lou Zhong's hand and said, "What are you talking about, Brother Wen Chang?
Am I, Liu Biao, a timid person who is afraid of getting into trouble?
How could you do such an unjust act?
Just live here peacefully, I'll see who dares to touch you!
After some time, I arranged some positions for Wen Changdi and others and started working here in Jingzhou..."
Hearing Liu Biao's words, the group headed by Lou Zhong were so moved that they almost shed tears.
This Liu Jingsheng is so generous!
After seeing the people from Lou Zhong off, Liu Biao had a smile on his face.
From now on, these people in Louzhong will definitely be used by themselves.
I will never fall to Cai Mao and other Jingzhou wealthy families...
Lou Zhong and others also breathed a sigh of relief.
They still have some value.
After experiencing this, their foothold in Jingzhou will be secure in the future...
…
Bohai County.
Dong Zhao, who was on a mission to Yizhou, returned to Yuan Shao in Bohai County.
During the time he was away, big things happened in Bohai County.
The main thing is that Yuan Shao secretly sent people to Gongsun Zan in western Liaoning and made an agreement with Gongsun Zan to attack Jizhou from both sides.
After acquiring Jizhou, the two sides divided Jizhou equally.
After Gongsun Zan got the news, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
He has long wanted to take action against Jizhou.
But Han Fu, the shepherd of Jizhou, was a disciple and former official of Yuan Shao's family.
At this time, Yuan Shao was vaguely headed.
He was worried that after he touched Han Fu, he would be counterattacked by Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao would join forces with Han Fu to attack him and destroy everything he owned.
At this time, he suddenly received news from Yuan Shao, and he was naturally happy.
In this case, he can give it a try.
You can eat Jizhou that you have been craving for for a long time!
There is no need to worry that Han Fu, the shepherd of Jizhou, will join Yuan Shao in beating him.
At that moment, he immediately agreed with Yuan Shao's intention.
And agreed to Yuan Shao's division of Jizhou after the war.
After Yuan Shao's envoy left, Chief Shi Guan Jing said to Gongsun Zan: "Looking at Yuan Shao's division of the land of Jizhou, most of the rich lands were divided into his hands, while most of the lord's lands were barren.
Yuan Shao has ulterior motives and acts unfairly, which is a slight against his lord.
My lord, you should think twice before acting."
Gongsun Zan nodded and said: "How can Yuan Shao's thoughts be hidden from me?
I felt that I came from a wealthy family, so I wanted to occupy more of it.
Are you looking for a bargain with me?
But that's fine. It shows that Yuan Shao really wants to unite with me and attack Han Fu together.
If he would allocate most of the rich land to me, I would not be at ease.
I won’t join forces with them to do this.”
After hearing what Gongsun Zan said, Guan Jing thought about it for a while and understood the reason.
Immediately he said: "What my lord said is absolutely true."
I won't say much on this matter.
Instead, he began to discuss with Gongsun Zan how to send troops...
One day later, Gongsun Zan began to summon his generals to discuss the attack on Jizhou.
Two days later, some troops began to mobilize and headed south to the border of Jizhou.
Of course, the banner was not to attack Jizhou, but to raise troops to attack Dong again...
There are naturally sentinels at Han Fu's place.
After learning about the movements of Gongsun Bogui of Baima in western Liaoning, he immediately sent an urgent message to Han Fu...
Han Fu, the shepherd of Jizhou, was shocked after hearing the news.
He was very afraid of Gongsun Zan.
Don't look at Gongsun Zan's previous battle with Liu Huangshu, and he was beaten so miserably.
That mainly depends on who the opponent is.
He was beaten so miserably against Uncle Liu Huang, but Han Fu was still under a lot of pressure against him.
After all, Gongsun Zan was a real person. In the past, he had faced off against the foreign tribes from the north for many years, beating the foreign tribes so hard that they were unable to lift their heads.
The Liaoxi frontier army under him is truly elite.
At this time, when he heard that Gongsun Zan was mobilizing his army and moving towards the border of Jizhou, he felt bad instantly.
"This Gongsun Zan, under the guise of challenging Dong, mobilized troops and prepared to go south. In fact, his target is our Jizhou, and he wants to take Jizhou into his hands..."
Someone said this to Han Fu.
This person is Geng Wu, Han Fu's chief historian.
"Then according to the long history, what can be done now?"
Han Fu asked.
"Since we have exhausted all the troops in Jizhou, we must be on the defensive.
If Gongsun Zan really dares to fight, then he should have a good fight with him.
Resist Gongsun Zan's invasion."
When Han Fu heard this, he was speechless for a long time.
Then he shook his head and looked worried and said: "That Gongsun Zan is a famous general, and his soldiers and horses are extremely elite. If we really fight with him, I'm afraid I won't be able to defeat him..."
Geng Wudao: "Then what do you think, my lord, it should be?"
Han Fu shook his head and said worriedly: "I don't know either..."
Geng Wu was speechless for a moment...
The next day, a group of people hurried all the way to Jizhou Mu Han Fu and met Han Fu.
"...Gong Wenjie, it's a disaster!
Gongsun Zan has raised an army!
It was said that he wanted to raise troops to challenge Dong again, but in fact it was indeed Wenjie Gong's idea in Jizhou.
Mr. Wenjie, please be careful and don't fall for Gongsun Zan's tricks!"
The person who spoke out was called Xun Chen.
This man was from the Xun family in Yingchuan. He was Xun Yu's elder brother and Xun You's uncle. He worked under Yuan Shao.
Now he brought senior officials and others to give Han Fu advice.
In fact, this time, Guo Tu wanted to take the credit himself.
It's just that he had already left Han Fu and joined Yuan Shao before.
If you come here at this time, I'm afraid it will have the opposite effect.
So Xun Chen, who was also born in Yingchuan, was asked to do this.
Xun Chen's words just scratched Han Fu's itch.
Han Fu has been anxious and angry about this matter from yesterday to today.
There were blisters at the corners of his mouth.
Hearing this, he quickly said: "If you, friend, have any clever tips to teach me?"
When Xun Chen saw this, he already knew that things had reached eight points.
He immediately said, "I do have an idea, but I'm afraid Wen Jiegong won't do it."
"What's the solution? Youruo just say it."
Han Fu said hurriedly.
Xun Chen said: "It's quite simple. Give the position of Jizhou Shepherd to Benchu Gong, and let Benchu Gong be the Jizhou Shepherd."
When Han Fu heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned. After being silent for a while, he suddenly burst into laughter and pointed at Xun Chen: "Youruo, are you here to seek Jizhou Mu Lai for Ben Chu Lai?!"
Xun Chen's expression remained unchanged and he spoke: "In terms of being generous and benevolent, and being able to be attached to the heroes of the world, can Wenjie Gong be compared to Benchu Gong?"
Han Fu was silent for a moment and shook his head: "Not comparable."
Xun Chen said again: "He is calm in the face of danger, decisive in the face of trouble, and has extraordinary wisdom and courage. Is it possible that Wen Jiegong can compare with Benchu?"
Han Fu was silent for a while, then shook his head again: "Not comparable."
Xun Chen added: "The Yuan family has been spreading kindness for several generations, benefiting every family in the world. Is it possible that Duke Wenjie can be as good as Ben Chu?"
Han Fu's voice became even quieter: "Not as good as..."
My self-confidence was about to be severely damaged by being asked three times by the soul Xun Chen.
Xun Chen said with a serious face: "Benchu Gong is a great man of our time. Wenjiegong is not as good as Benchugong in these three aspects, but he has been superior to him for a long time. How can he be able to obey Wenjiegong in the long run?"
Moreover, Wenjie Gong was originally a disciple and former official of the Yuan family, and he was a person who received favors from the Yuan family.
At this time, Gongsun Zan raised a large army to plot against Jizhou. If Benchu Gong raised an army and responded to it, under attack from two sides, could Wenjie Gong hold Jizhou?
Can Wen Jiegong himself survive?
Can the family members be saved?”
A series of rhetorical questions made Han Fu sweat profusely.
"Gong Wenjie is an old official of the Yuan family. He had previously formed an alliance to jointly attack Dong Zhuo and greatly assisted Duke Benchu.
Ben Chu was merciful, and after Duke Wenjie surrendered Jizhou, how could Benchu treat Duke Wenjie badly?
Since Gong Benchu became the shepherd of Jizhou, Gongsun Zan did not dare to covet Jizhou anymore.
Wasn't Jizhou and Wen Jiegong's family preserved because of this?
Wen Jiegong has the reputation of giving way to talents, and his position is more stable than Mount Tai!"
Just when Han Fu was about to nod in agreement, the Cavalry Commander Jushu, who had received the news, hurried over to stop him...
