In terms of positions, Cao Peng and Li Tong are on the same level.
Nanyang County and Runan County are both upper counties and have equal status. Yiyang County is divided from Runan County and originally belongs to the lower county. Due to its strategic location, it is classified as a middle county, so in terms of rank,
Yu Jin's position was slightly lower than that of Cao Peng and Li Tong.
But the problem is that Yu Jin is an old minister of Yuan Cong.
When Cao Cao raised troops in Qiao County to attack Dong Zhuo, Yu Jin followed Cao Cao.
He participated in the battle of twenty-two princes against Dong Zhuo, and also participated in Cao Cao's pursuit of Dong Zhuo and his defeat. After that, Cao Cao based himself in Dongjun and conquered all the way.
Chong. Therefore, in terms of qualifications, neither Cao Peng nor Li Tong can compare with Yu Jin. Therefore, in terms of status, Yu Jin is higher than Cao and Li.
If it were done in the name of Cao Peng, Yu Jin would be dissatisfied.
Therefore, Jia Xu decided that he should control the two of them. He was appointed as the governor of Yuzhou, and Runan and Yiyang counties were both under his rule, so it was logical. His status was originally higher than that of Li Tong and Li Tong, let alone Li Tong.
Even if he holds the title of Marquis Duting, he and Li Tong cannot be compared with each other. By controlling them, he can also prevent Li Tong from being dissatisfied with Cao Peng in his heart.
As soon as Liu Biao died, Jingzhou was reduced to a state of disintegration.
Sun Quan was stationing troops in Spring Valley at this time, which in Jia Xu's view was definitely not a normal move.
According to Sun Quan's temperament, it is impossible to be so grand. If he really wants to send troops, the most likely way is to use the navy to attack Ruxukou instead of stationing troops in Chungu County. If Sun Quan does not use troops, his purpose is
What is it? Jia Xu was very keenly aware that Sun Quan's troop garrison in Chungu was just a cover. His real purpose was to contain Huainan's troops and force Yu Jin to withdraw his troops.
But why did he do this?
Yu Jin defeated Jiangxia, what does it have to do with Sun Quan?
There can only be one answer, and that is that Sun Quan reached an agreement with certain people, so he took such action. Who did he reach an agreement with?
Jia Xu felt inexplicable palpitations!
Cao Peng once said to Jia Xu: If Liu Bei wins Jingzhou, he will definitely unite with Sun Quan.
When the time comes, they can rely on the natural chasm of the river to form a tripartite force with the Prime Minister. If the Prime Minister cannot obtain Jingxiang, Liu Bei will definitely become the foundation. Therefore, Jingzhou is the top priority. If Jingzhou is not obtained, it will be a disaster sooner or later!
Sun and Liu unite, stand on three pillars?
When Jia Xu first heard what Cao Peng said, his heart trembled.
He is also thinking about the future trend. If the three-legged situation is formed, the world will be in chaos, the war will continue, and all life will be ruined.
It was precisely for this reason that he followed Cao Peng's idea.
But the risks involved are really too great...

Days pass day by day.
Liu Biao's funeral is getting closer and closer.
The atmosphere in Xiangyang City suddenly became a little solemn. Perhaps in order to prevent chaos, Cai Mao transferred Wang Wei to return to Xiangyang and served as the commander of the Xiangyang Military Academy, responsible for the security of Xiangyang City. At the same time, Liu Bei took Jian Yong with him.
Came to Xiangyang from Fancheng to attend the First Seventh Funeral Ceremony.
Liu Bei is also a clan member of the Han Dynasty.
After all, he and Liu Biao are from the same clan.
Now that he is here, Mrs. Cai cannot refuse. However, Mrs. Cai refused Liu Bei's troops to enter Xiangyang City on the grounds that Liu Biao was in mourning and it was not suitable to station troops and horses in Xiangyang City. Mrs. Cai sent someone to say to Liu Bei: If Xuan
Mr. De, you sincerely came to express your condolences. You could have come alone, so why bring many soldiers and horses? The public security in Xiangyang City is good. Please rest assured, Mr. Xuande...
But the problem is that Mrs. Cai has tried to kill Liu Bei many times before.
If Liu Bei hadn't been lucky, he would have died long ago.
Therefore, from this point of view, it is not surprising that Liu Bei came with his troops. Now that Mrs. Cai has made her debut, how should you, Liu Bei, choose?
Liu Bei, of course, rejected Mrs. Cai's request.
I don’t have to go into Xiangyang for my part, but I won’t go in either!
When Liu Biao's funeral is held tomorrow, I will go to the city to express my condolences. But before that, I will be stationed outside the city... You, Mrs. Cai, must not dare to kill people in the mourning hall!
Mrs. Cai had no choice but to agree.
In this way, Liu Bei set up camp outside the city and only waited for the funeral to begin the next day before entering the city to express his condolences.
Nothing happened this night!
The next day, at dawn, Xiangyang City Gate was opened to allow people to enter the city.
In the yamen of Zhouse Mansion, the mourning hall had already been prepared. Mrs. Cai was dressed in mourning clothes, and she and Liu Cong knelt beside the spirit. Cai Mao and others were responsible for receiving guests. As time went by, cars outside the gate of Zhouse Mansion
There was an endless stream of horses and representatives from all walks of life came to express their condolences.
"Shuijing Villa, Mr. Sima is offering a memorial service!"
Outside the door, the master of ceremonies shouted.
They saw Sima Hui walking into the mourning hall and bowing in front of the spirit.
Later, Pang Degong from Lumen Mountain sent Pang Shan people to pay homage to Liu Biao. Mrs. Cai, mother and son were at the funeral, respectfully answering Pang Shan people's wishes.
Liu Biao's funeral was a grand one.
Basically, it is carried out according to the standards of the princes.
People from all walks of life in Jingzhou gathered in Xiangyang and came to pay their respects. After saluting in the mourning hall, retainers led them to a side hall to rest.
"Zirou, once Liu Jingzhou leaves, who can be the lord of Jingzhou?"
In the side hall, people gathered in small groups and talked in low voices.
The reason why so many people come to pay homage to Liu Biao is that, to be honest, they are still a little worried about the future development of Jingzhou. Once Liu Biao dies, where will Jingzhou go? This is a problem that no one can ignore. Some people have already been accused of crimes.
But some people are still confused.
As one of the representatives of the Jingxiang clan, Kuai Liang's opinions naturally attracted the attention of many people.
As soon as he walked into the side hall, several people immediately came forward. After bowing their hands, a local celebrity in Xiangyang couldn't wait to ask.
After Kuai Liang pondered for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "My Lord has not passed the first seven years, so it is not appropriate to talk about this matter.
However, the Lord of Jingzhou is related to the future of Jingxiang... I personally think that the affairs of Jingzhou are governed by the people of Jing, and the second young master is smart and gentle, so he is the most suitable candidate."
"Zirou, what you said is wrong."
Yi Ji happened to come in and when he heard Kuai Liang's words, he was immediately dissatisfied.
"Since ancient times, it has been an ominous sign to abolish an elder and establish a younger one. Now that the eldest son is still here, how can we say that the second son will succeed him?
The eldest son is the eldest son of the lord, and he has also made great achievements after following the lord to Jingzhou. Now he is sitting in Jiangxia and has made outstanding military achievements. How can he not be the lord of Jingzhou? If the second son succeeds, not to mention it is unethical, but
It’s just that the second young master is young, how can he convince everyone? In my opinion, when the eldest young master takes over the charge of Jingxiang, the nine counties of Jingxiang will be able to rest peacefully just like when the lord was alive."
Kuai Liang sneered, "The eldest son is stubborn and has a bad temper.
Although he is older, he is not virtuous enough; the second young master is respectful by nature, has a famous family, and has received a high-ranking professor since he was young. Why can't he be the lord of Jingzhou?"
The two of them started arguing as they talked.
For a moment, the side hall became lively. You said you were right, and I said I was right. Both sides refused to give in, and the quarrel became more and more intense...
Sima Hui sat aside and watched coldly.
He suddenly turned his head and said to Pang Shanmin: "Mountain people, something is wrong."
Pang Shanmin was startled and asked hurriedly: "Why did you say this, sir?"
"Mr. Ji Bo's emotions are too intense, which is not his normal style.
He was quarreling with Zirou today, and it seems that he deliberately provoked a dispute...This thing is a bit unusual, you and I should be more careful later."
Pang Shanmin heard this and nodded.
The two of them sat next to each other without saying a word, quietly watching the development of the situation.
Just when Kuai Liang and Yi Ji were arguing, someone outside suddenly heard a report: "In Xiangyang City, it seems that there are bandits sneaking into the city and causing trouble everywhere. General Wang has led people to investigate, but the situation is unknown at the moment. General Wang
We are worried about something happening, so we ask the general to send more manpower to maintain the safety of the city."
Cai Mao, who was trying to persuade Kuai Liang and Yi Ji, was shocked when he heard this.
"Bo Xin, quickly take people to investigate and assist Wang Weiqing in suppressing the thieves."
Zhang Yun nodded and without saying a word, immediately led people to support him. Sima Hui, who was just observing silently, had a look of doubt on his face. He felt that what happened today was too weird! Whether it was Yi
Ji, or Cai Mao and others, all seemed to be putting on a show...
Could it be that something big is going to happen today?
