Liu Bei had been observing Jiangling for a while, and honestly speaking, he felt that compared to Xiangyang in the north of Jing, this was indeed a good place to build a capital.
The north bank of Jingshui is Yunmengze, and the south bank is Dongting Lake. The river water carried sediment and gathered and deposited it, gradually forming this land. Because the land is close to the river, there are no mountains nearby, and everything is mausoleum, so it was named Jiangling.
In history, Cao Cao wanted to go south to capture Liu Bei several times after Red Cliff, but because Jiangling was adjacent to the water in the north, the terrain was quite dangerous. No matter how many soldiers and horses from the north came here, they could not attack it. What's more, Jiangling has been part of Jingzhou since ancient times.
The main city of the government has a long history. After 2,600 years of precipitation and accumulation, its culture and population envelop the city in a scale that is by no means ordinary and comparable.
Fu Wan probably took this into consideration and urged the emperor to make his capital here.
However, it is normal for Liu Biao to disagree.
After all, Xiangyang is his base camp. Ever since Liu Biao rode into Jingzhou alone in the first year of Chuping and united with the Jingzhou clan headed by Cai and Kuai to gain power in Jingzhou, Xiangyang has been his base camp, allowing Liu Biao to easily
If we give up here, he will probably not agree.
Even if Liu Biao agreed, the Kuai family and Cai family, whose foundations were in Xiangyang, would probably not agree.
Although the master of Jingzhou is Liu Biao, there are no two major clans, the Kuai family and the Cai family. Liu Biao has long been finished in Jingzhou, so he has to pay attention to their interests. Therefore, no matter what, Liu Biao must fight for his reasons and settle the capital in Xiangyang.
place.
This resulted in a fierce conflict between the two.
As for Liu Zhang of Xichuan, although he expressed his surrender, his power is still huddled in Shu, and he cannot intervene in the affairs of Jingzhou. Even if he could intervene, Liu Zhang broke with Zhang Lu less than a year after taking over Liu Yan's foundation.
The two sides are currently facing each other, and the situation is quite serious. There is no time to intervene in such matters as establishing the capital.
Liu Bei was depressed. After completing his inspection in Jiangling, he returned to Xiangyang and reported the truth to Liu Biao and Fu Wan.
But what is surprising is that Fu Wan and Liu Biao are obviously not in a good mood.
…
"snort!"
After Fu finished slamming the table, he gritted his teeth angrily and frowned.
"Potters and thieves! How dare you do this? Not only did you write a message to insult me, but you also dared to fabricate lies, saying that the real dragon appeared in Xuzhou and the purple energy came from the east. It was clear that he wanted to establish a puppet dynasty and prepare to oppose us, but we
The key is to never let him succeed."
Liu Bei didn't say a word after hearing Fu Wan's words, just silent.
In fact, Liu Bei also felt that the matter of finishing and establishing the emperor was a little rushed, and some things were done almost without thinking, so doing so would lead to too many omissions.
The work is not careful at all.
In Liu Bei's eyes, Fu Wan's behavior was no different from that of a stupid pig. In terms of politics and military strategy, he was so different from the pottery merchant that he was not a person of the same level at all.
In fact, Liu Bei thought that Liu Biao could see these things at first, but when he hurriedly established the emperor after Fu, Liu Biao did not remind him.
Liu Bei didn't understand it at first, but later he realized some of the true meaning of this.
Liu Biao just wanted to make Fu Wan suffer, let Fu Wan know that he was not good enough, and use external forces to suppress him... Although after the establishment of the new dynasty, Fu Wan proclaimed himself prime minister, Liu Biao wanted him to know that he, the so-called prime minister,
Without yourself, nothing is shit.
Liu Biao is fifty-six years old this year. In this era when the average life expectancy is low, his energy and experience are enough to be called an old man, and his ability currently does not live up to this title.
He smiled and touched the white flowers with some sparse beard, and said: "Prime Minister, why do you need to be like this? We have to do some things slowly. For now, we should first determine the palace land, cultivate the fields, and collect grain and grass."
, train yourself to be strong, protect the people's livelihood, and recruit talented people from all over, so that you can ensure the longevity of the imperial court and the resurgence of the Han Dynasty."
After Fu finished looking at Liu Biao's unhurried look, he couldn't help but feel angry.
This old dog is taking his time and acting like a fool. What does he think of this new dynasty?
"Growing crops in the fields to make yourself stronger?" Fu finished shaking the report in his hand, his hands shaking with anger, and he said to Liu Biao: "It is difficult to deal with this matter now. The pottery merchant has made it clear that at the beginning of spring next year,
We have to raise an army to attack us, where do we have time to waste all this? Now, why not take advantage of the pottery merchants to send troops to attack Guandu just after the war and when their strength is declining, and go straight down the Yangtze River to seize the land east of the Yangtze River first.
How about curbing the power of the Tao thieves?"
Liu Biao burst out laughing and said: "The Prime Minister is really petty in what he said. He is talking in childish language. Not to mention that the pottery merchants defeated Yuan Shao and their morale was at a high level. Now that Zhang Xian's rebellion in Jingnan has not been eradicated, the people in the East
Lu Bu and Sun Ce are also constrained. I can't deal with these traitors, so how can I still have the energy to fight against the pottery merchants? The so-called appointment of a time to send troops to attack is just for the world to see, there is no need to worry...
Prime Minister, filter it."
Fu Wan was now the prime minister, but Liu Biao vetoed all his orders and requests. He had no right to speak at all, and he couldn't help but get furious.
By establishing a new emperor and assuming the position of prime minister, this is not the effect you want!
What he wants is a position below one person and above tens of thousands of people.
Who is this prime minister now? Is he Liu Biao’s dog?
"No! The truth has been decided. Zhang Xian, Lu Bu, and Sun Ce can write a letter to appease them and make plans later. However, the pottery merchant is a huge thief of the country. No matter what, he must launch an army to attack first and no change is allowed!"
Fu Wan said angrily, intending to consolidate his prestige and position.
Not to mention Liu Biao, even Liu Bei couldn't help but find it funny when he heard this.
How to describe it? He really thinks too highly of himself.
Liu Biao sighed helplessly, stood up, and said to Fu Wan: "Since the Prime Minister has made up his mind, you should take the time to speak to the soldiers of the three armies in Jingzhou and ask them to send troops to fight against the rebellion on behalf of the Prime Minister. I am old.
After sitting here for a long time, my body's bones will become sore, so I don't want to accompany the Prime Minister to mess around here, so I have the right to resign."
Fu Wan's expression suddenly changed when he heard this.
Let me take some time to talk to the three armies...Who the hell do I know?
"Liu Jingsheng! You..."
However, Liu Biao no longer looked at him, but turned to Liu Bei and said: "Xuande, my legs and feet are not good, please give me some help."
Regardless of whether he is a royalist or a Jingzhou faction, Liu Bei is currently the least valued person. Liu Biao asked him to send it away, so he naturally did not dare to neglect it.
So, Liu Bei stepped forward and helped Liu Biao out of the hall, leaving Fu Wan alone in there sulking, his face as suffocated as a shriveled eggplant, as purple as he wanted.
After leaving the main hall, Liu Biao couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "This person Fu Wan has some political skills but no real understanding of political strategy and military affairs. What a poor person the great Situ Fu Zhan was back then. The Fu family was also a powerful family in the world, and his descendants are actually
This kind of behavior is really regrettable.”
Liu Bei did not dare to say anything more, but just said: "The Prime Minister is also thinking about the safety of the country, but it may be that his personal abilities are not enough. In the future, Brother Jing Sheng will need more support from Chao Gang."
Liu Biao turned to look at Liu Bei and said, "It's nothing to worry about after finishing. He has now fulfilled his mission, which is to support the emperor again, but whether the Han Dynasty can prosper in the future depends on our Liu family."
Liu Bei looked at him doubtfully.
Liu Biao patted Liu Bei's hand and said: "As long as you, me, and Liu Jiyu from Xichuan, we three Han clan clans work together to protect the young master, we may not be able to do something great. My wish, Xuande
