Chapter 789: Who said Zhang Ji defected to Duke Xuande? You must provide evidence when speaking!
There was a reason why Liu Biao participated in this war. The original reason was that Yuan Shu prevented him from taking office in Jingzhou. That was all. Yuan Shu also mocked him in public: lick the dog, lick the dog, lick until there was nothing left.
Of course, the Chinese language is profound and profound, and that is not what Yuan Shu actually said, but the meaning is this. Yuan Shu, as a son of an aristocratic family, really looked down on the behavior of Liu Biao, who was of a high enough background, to kneel down and lick Dong Zhuo, and thought it was shameful
It ruined the dignity of noble families and famous officials.
Liu Biao has always held a grudge against this, but since his control over Jingzhou is not that strong, it is simply wishful thinking to mobilize an army without the consent of the local nobles. Well, let alone mobilizing an army, he just wants to pamper a maid in the back house.
He will be beaten severely by his wife Cai.
Well, Liu Biao was already 50 years old at this time, and Mrs. Cai was still young, so we can’t say how she was beaten. It was too bloody, and it’s something that cannot be described in detail.
Closer to home, the main reason why this troop dispatch was possible was because of the instigation of the remaining aristocratic families from Nanyang who fled to Jingxiang. They wanted to take the opportunity to regain these land interests from Yuan Shu. In addition, some big families in Xiangyang also wanted to take the opportunity to expand their power.
The exchange of interests resulted in this act of taking advantage of others' misfortune.
"What are Zai Zhi's plans? Are we just going to sit back and watch?" Xi Zhicai looked at Wang Xuan and asked.
"Thousands of miles away, it would be inconvenient to intervene directly. Our first priority is to lay a solid foundation and not let outsiders' actions disrupt our original plan." Wang Xuan gently touched the table and suddenly thought of a person, "But...
"
As soon as he heard the two words, Xi Zhicai knew that Wang Xuan was playing dirty tricks again.
"But it's inconvenient for us to take action, which doesn't mean it's inconvenient for others. Zhang Ji and the others occupied Henan County, but Henan County was severely damaged, and we still need support from Qingzhou. This does slow down our progress, so we can let
Are Zhang Ji and the others occupying Nanyang?"
"No, it's not called occupation." Wang Xuan raised his eyebrows and continued: "Liu Biao's Jingzhou governor was given by Dong Zhuo, Jingzhou pastoralist was given by Li Jue, and Zhang Ji, as the brother of Li Jue and others, was also given by Dong Zhuo
The deployment, speaking of it, is also Liu Biao’s master, so of course I have to help Liu Biao who is part of the alliance.”
Wait, Xi Zhicai twitched the corner of his mouth, "Zhang Ji and the others have defected to us, right...when did they become Li Jue's group again and return Liu Biao's master? Liu Biao knows that this is not crazy."
"Who said that Zhang Ji defected to Duke Xuande! You need to provide evidence to say this. Did Zhang Ji announce it to the outside world, or did Duke Xuande announce it to the outside world? No, never. You are spreading rumors and slandering out of thin air.
The innocent is innocent!" Wang Xuan seemed to have been wronged, and as he spoke, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Zai Zhi, you are trying to trick Liu Biao to death!" Guo Jia followed and laughed, "Yuan Shu scolded Liu Biao before, but now if you accuse Liu Biao of being like this again, then Liu Biao will be completely stink."
"He already stinks, why do you think I'm being blamed? I'm that kind of person!" Wang Xuan, the boss, was not happy. "Before, everyone thought that he was a member of the Han clan, and that he had the clean blood of those wealthy families.
He boasted, and no one wanted to expose him, but that doesn't mean he is clean. I am seeking truth from facts, and I am a real person!"
"Master Zhang sent troops to occupy Nanyang. Do you think Liu Biao dares to object?"
Xi Zhicai and the others shook their heads. They were not optimistic about Liu Biao and the Jingzhou family at all. This had nothing to do with their strength. Without a strong figure to take the lead, Jingzhou's strength would not be able to be exerted no matter how strong it was.
What's more, Zhang Ji not only represents himself, but also has Lu Bu's support behind him. Even Li Jue, Guo Si, and Fan Chou, who are far away in Chang'an, officially because Zhang Ji left Chang'an, instead of fighting for power with several brothers, they let them
He owed Zhang Ji a favor, and if Liu Biao dared to use force with Zhang Ji, then Chang'an could enter Nanyang County directly after leaving Wuguan.
If Li Jue and Guo Si's army were really attracted, the entire Jingzhou would be turned upside down.
Furthermore, after all, Liu Biao's position as Jingzhou Mu was granted by Li Jue and others. If he were to be dismissed again... then Liu Biao would be completely ruined.
"That's it. Let Zhang Ji enter Nanyang first. Nanyang is the largest county in the world with a population of one million. Not to mention supporting his 10,000 cavalry, it is more than enough to double the army. In this way, it can reduce our expenses.
Needless to say, it is also a fulcrum for leveraging the Central Plains region in the future."
"The most important thing is that we don't have to worry about Zhang Ji's loyalty."
"Besides, it is enough to have one outstanding Han clan member in the world. Afterwards, we will conduct publicity and expose Liu Biao's old background."
The last point is the most important!
Xi Zhicai and others looked at each other and nodded in agreement. From the beginning of the Yellow Turban Rebellion to Dong Zhuo's dethronement, the reputation of the Han Dynasty was gradually declining, but the heritage it had cultivated for four hundred years could not be wiped out so easily.
The world is so big that there are too many people who hope that the Han Dynasty will stand up again and be like Liu Xiu, the great magician of the past, and revive the world with glory and military power.
During this period, many Han clan clans also emerged, and with the publicity and promotion of many caring people, their reputation spread throughout the world.
Liu Yu, a shepherd in Youzhou, was strict in his conduct, distinguished from others, adhered to the law and admired his reputation, and was loyal and self-shepherding. It was so beautiful that he was named the eldest son of Ji Han!
Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, was filial to his brothers, benevolent and forgiving, humbled himself and accepted others, and traveled thousands of miles, which was not the case.
Jingzhou Mu, Liu Biao, and General Yi Jing were born in Yingqi. Huan Huan was strong in his military skills and gentle in his people.
Yizhou Mu, Liu Yan, was a virtuous and upright man with a noble character.
Now that Liu Dai is dead, there are still Liu Biao, Liu Yu, and Liu Yan who can compete with Liu Bei for the orthodox status of the Han Dynasty. It is understandable that Wang Xuan plotted against Liu Biao. Of course Xi Zhicai and others would agree. Besides,
Well, this is not a slander, it’s just exposing the old man.
"By the way, how is Liu Yu doing now?" Wang Xuan asked Xi Zhi, who was in charge of intelligence, as Liu Biao thought of Liu Yu.
"We were having a big fight with Yuan Shao. If it weren't for the protection of a Han clan clan member and Youzhou Mu, he might be dead now." Xi Zhicai shook his head, with a bit of regret in his tone, Liu Yu
His reputation among the Han gentry has always been very good.
"At this rate, if Liu Yu doesn't evacuate from Youzhou, I'm afraid Yuan Shao won't let him live. Of course, if Liu Yu dies..." Guo Jia said and glanced at Wang Xuan.
"No, what do you mean? If you say Liu Yu is dead, just say Liu Yu is dead. Why are you looking at me?" Wang Xuan was so angry. Am I the kind of person who wants others to die!?
Even if Liu Yu died, it was Tian Kai's fault. No, it was Yuan Shao's fault. What does it have to do with Wang and I?
