"Liu Daer?!" Liu Mang was taken aback for a moment, he never thought that it was Liu Bei and Liu Xuande who killed his envoy.
Listening to Xu Shu's eloquence below, Liu Wei realized that, like Liu Wei, Liu Bei's envoys were also sent to Jingzhou. Liu Wei was short of food and grass, and Liu Bei's food and grass in Nanyang County were also set ablaze by Jia Xu. It was burnt out, so the two surnamed Liu can be regarded as connected by hard fate. Liu Mang's army and Liu Bei's army were already at war, and Liu Bei knew that Jia Xu was burning the grain and grass in Wancheng, Nanyang Afterwards, he went to Liu Mang in Yangzhou. This is really jealous of the enemy. The envoy Liu Mang sent this time was just an ordinary scribe, but Liu Bei sent his first-class counselor and his only counselor, Pang Tong Pang Shiyuan. The Pang family was originally from Jingzhou, and was also a big clan in Jingzhou. Pang Tong returned to Jingzhou like a fish in water, interspersed among the various noble families in Jingzhou, and when Liu Mang's envoy arrived at this time, Pang Tong naturally thought of his thoughts.
How could he not know that Liu Mang also came to ask for food, but Pang Tong would never let Jingzhou's food and grass be bought to Yangzhou, because once Yangzhou had enough food and grass to stabilize, then he, Pang Shiyuan, would help the lord Liu Bei take Yangzhou Aspiring to the Central Plains may be nothing but a dream.
In Jingzhou, there are many people who hate Liu Mang in Yangzhou, such as the Huang family, such as the Cai family. The Huang family hates Liu Mang because if it is not for Liu Mang, then their Huang family will not lose Jiang Xia. Jiang Xia belongs to the Huang family. A cornucopia, one county is located above the Yangtze River, the land is fertile and easy to irrigate, plus every year the lord Liu Biao will give Jiang Xia a large amount of food, grass and military equipment, it can be said that the Huang family has Jiang Xia already eating oily corners of his mouth , but now they were stirred up by Lu Bu's army, and Huangzhou was lost, causing Jiangxia's defenders to collapse thousands of miles. Because of Huang Zu's defeat, Liu Biao also transferred Huang Zu back. The Huang family lost such a fat bastard. How can the oily Jiang Xia let it go.
The other one is the Cai family in Jingzhou. Did Liu Mang offend the Cai family because of the recruitment order? He is completely provoking the majesty of the gentry. The privileges that the gentry have over the poor are the promotion of filial piety and the recommendation system, which allows everyone from the gentry to be an official. Then I learned that secondly, as long as you are not a fool, as long as you are a nobleman, it is very simple to be an official.
However, Liu Wei now engages in meritocracy, and he can become an official if he is talented. This basically cuts off the privileges of the gentry, and the second is to make those poor children stand out. Feeling that I am superior to others, I look down on those children from poor families, but now those people from poor families can climb on top of them. I heard that Xu Shu and Xu Yuanzhi, who used to study in Jingzhou, have already become the military adviser of Yangzhou, and he has the same position as Cai Mao. How can this make Cai Mao comfortable, so the Cai family was also offended by Liu Mang.
But there are also people in Jingzhou who have a good attitude towards Liu Mang in Yangzhou, such as Kuai Liang from the Kuai family. When Kuai Liang went to Lujiang as an envoy, he cooperated happily with Yang Hong and cheated Jiangdong. They both began to call each other brothers, and the relationship was naturally good. When Liu Biao wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, Kuai Liang stood up and said If you say good things, you can see the sincerity of the Kuai family.
Pang Tong was not sure whether Liu Biao would sell grain and grass to Liu Mang in Yangzhou. In order to make sure, he could only do one thing and keep doing the other. Kill the envoys in Yangzhou directly, and let these envoys die in the posthouse in Jingzhou, so that the possibility of Yangzhou borrowing food can be cut off.
"Hmph, his little turkey also wants to learn from Ban Zhongsheng!" The Ban Zhongsheng mentioned by Liu Wei is Ban Chao, who abandoned his pen and joined the army and went to the Western Regions as an envoy. On the way, they passed through Shanshan. At first, the king of Shanshan was weak, cold and gentle. It can be said that he was extremely caring, but then he suddenly changed his color. There is a danger of turning to the Northern Huns. Ban Chao was calm and composed. He found out where the envoys of the Northern Huns were and led people to sneak into the post overnight, beheading the envoys of the Northern Huns. By the time the King of Shanshan found out, it was too late. Killing the envoys of the Northern Huns would naturally offend the Northern Huns. King Shanshan In order not to offend another giant, he can only surrender to the big man.
And now Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan just want to follow what Ban Chao did back then, and the envoy who killed Liu Mang just wanted to force Jingzhou Liu Biao to submit.
But Liu Biao is not the barbarian king of Shanshan after all. Liu Mang's envoy was killed. Liu Biao also sent 10,000 shi of grain and grass as a kind of apology. I lost ten thousand stones of food and grass for an envoy, which is generous enough! It is true that the life of an envoy may not be worth 10,000 shi of food and grass, but what Liu Mang is uncomfortable with is that killing the envoy is equivalent to slapping Liu Mang in the face.
Liu Biao himself is unwilling to fight against Lu Bu's army, but if Liu Mang sends troops, he will not be in the same embarrassment as before, because Liu Bei in Yuzhou gave Liu Biao Chengruo, once Liu Mang sends troops or Lu Bu sends troops, the Yuzhou army and Jingzhou army will see the enemy as the same enemy. Liu Bei guarded the north gate of Jingzhou for Liu Biao.
Once Liu Mang sent troops, he would fall into Liu Bei's arms. Don't even think about the grain and grass in Jingzhou. Liu Bei can also use the excuse of resisting Liu Mang to get a large amount of grain and grass supply in Jingzhou.
"What did Liu Biao say?!" Liu Mang narrowed his eyes, and there was still room for maneuver. If Liu Biao really wanted to quarrel with Lu Bujun and hook up with Liu Bei in Yuzhou, then there is no need to send 10,000 shi Grain and grass can go to war directly, and with the lackey Liu Bei standing outside, he can really stop Liu Mang, but now that he sent back the body of the messenger and the most apologetic 10,000 shi of grain and grass, it means that Liu Biao has not yet had a good relationship with Liu Bei To the extent of the alliance, there must be filth between the two.
"The condition given by Liu Biao in Jingzhou is that my lord, you can go to Jingzhou in person to discuss the matter of grain and grass!" Xu Shu finally expressed his embarrassment.
"I'll go there in person?!" Liu Mang's eyes really turned cold, and the killing intent on his body couldn't be concealed.
"My lord, don't do it!" The first person who came out to object was Liu Ye who was next to Xu Shu. What Liu Ye had always opposed was Liu Mang fighting in person. Liu Mang is the lord of a state, although there is also a father-in-law Lu Bu in name In fact, Yangzhou is self-contained. It can be said that Yangzhou does not listen to Lu Bu's message, but has to listen to Liu Mang's order. In other words, the princes and kings should regard it as a decisive victory above the palace and thousands of miles away, instead of handing over their own life and death, and going to the battlefield to fight their lives. What's more, this kind of mission. Liu Biao of Jingzhou is the lord of a state, and Liu Mang is also the lord of Yangzhou. The identities of the two are not much different. What qualifications does Liu Biao have to let Liu Mang go on a mission in person? Although Liu Biao has no enterprising heart. But there is no guarantee that there will be no villains who want to harm Liu Mang. In Yangzhou, under the protection of the army, safety can be guaranteed, but when it comes to Jingzhou, there will be no army to follow, and then it will become fish on the chopping board. People slaughtered.
So Liu Ye firmly opposed Liu Mang going there in person.
"My lord, how can you be so risky with a body of a thousand pieces of gold? Liu Biao of Jingzhou is nothing more than a city guard dog. How can you make my lord condescend to go to Jingzhou to meet him?"
"My lord, I can't go to Jingzhou. The main thing is to send an army directly to get food and grass. Jingzhou is rich. This city of Xinye is enough to relieve my worries in Yangzhou!" Some generals were angry and wanted to send troops to attack Jingzhou directly. It's so irritating. Want the Lord of Yangzhou to meet him
"Yes, yes, my lord, Liu Biao asked my lord to go because he was uneasy and kind, because he wanted to take my lord as a hostage and come to restrict our Yangzhou!" Under the main hall of Shouchun, all the generals and advisers disagreed with Liu Biao. Mang went to Jingzhou. Because once you go to Jingzhou, your personal safety is still guaranteed~
Just when everyone refused to allow Liu Mang to go, Jia Xu next to him said again, "My lord, although the trip to Jingzhou is full of dangers, there is still a chance of survival, but if the lord does not go to Jingzhou, then Yangzhou is in danger. The lord is in danger, the great cause is in danger!"
As soon as Jia Xu spoke, there was a lot of scolding on the spot.
"Jia Xu, Jia Wenhe, why are you in peace! If the lord is killed by you, what good will it be?" Liu Ye almost pointed at Jia Xu's nose and scolded. Once Liu Mang went to Jingzhou, life and death would be real. In the hands of Liu Biao. Liu Ye resolutely refused to take such risks.
"I've already seen that you, Jia Xu, are not a good person! What Liu Biejia said is true, my lord must not go to Jingzhou, Jia Xu, you don't need to scare me again!" Most people supported Liu Ye's words.
"Jia Xu, you are not a spy sent by Liu Bei and Liu Daer, are you? You actually want the lord to put yourself in danger and seek my great career in Yangzhou?!" Jia Xu pretended to surrender Liu Mang, in order to let Liu Mang go to Jingzhou to risk himself.
Jia Xu didn't respond to Liu Ye, but looked at Liu Mang and said straightly, "Everything is up to the Lord!"
"Huh?!" Liu Mang also looked at Jia Xu with twinkling eyes, he was also hesitant, unable to judge, his eyes were puzzled, puzzled, and there was even a killing intent, yes, it was towards Jia Xu.
What Jia Xu said is true, if Liu Mang does not go to Jingzhou, then the whole Yangzhou will be cut off for more than a month, and there will be no food, and there will be no way to survive. Liu Mang's Yangzhou is about to be lost, there is no need for the enemy to come, Liu Mang himself can't even support the army.
However, although going to Jingzhou was also in constant danger, and he still handed over his life to Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Liu Biao of Jingzhou might not dare to kill Liu Wei, because once he killed Liu Wei, he would completely break with Lu Bujun. Liu Biao's fearful attitude certainly did not dare. So Liu Mang's safety is still somewhat guaranteed, but Liu Mang is also worried, this Jia Xu Jia Wenhe has really surrendered to himself!
For Jia Xu and Liu Mang, I really dare not relax. This person is a poisonous snake, a poisonous snake that can bite you to death if you don't pay attention. The poisonous man will either not make a move, and you will definitely pay the price if he does. If it is true as I said before If this Jia Xu is pretending to surrender, then Liu Mang will really fall into the situation of death. With the courage of Liu Bei in Yuzhou, Liu Mang will die in this trip, and according to Jia Xu's character, it will really happen. scene! Use the world as your plan, and plan against the people in the world.
Liu Mang was uncertain, and he had deep worries. Since Jia Xu already had doubts, Liu Mang subconsciously turned his eyes to Xu Shu, Xu Yuanzhi, Liu Mang's right arm. Xu Shu is a little immature, but if Jia Xu plots against him, he will definitely show some clues and make Xu Shu aware of it.
Xu Shu also felt Liu Mang's gaze, Xu Shu was restless standing, he was tangled and struggling, the corner of his mouth was bitten by his own teeth, suddenly Xu Shu fell to his knees in front of Liu Mang, "Xu Shu is incompetent, solve it!" If the lord dies without leaving Yangzhou, Xu Shu will definitely follow him!" After Xu Shu finished speaking, he immediately kowtowed to Liu Mang, and it hit the white marble floor in the hall with a loud sound. It was stained red.
"Military division, military division!" The people around were shocked and hurried forward to help Xu Shu up, but Xu Shu still wanted to struggle. However, he was suppressed by the veteran Huang Zhong. Huang Zhong's arms pressed on Xu Shu's body like a thousand weights, making him unable to move.
Liu Mang's eyes closed, he took a deep breath, and opened it after a long time. Sighing, it's useless to talk about the matter so far, Liu Mang's opened eyes burst out with a look of determination, "The siege of Yangzhou, the shortage of food and grass, everything happened again! What's wrong with Yuan Zhi?" Yes!" If it wasn't for Liu Mang's call-up order, Yangzhou's predicament would not have arisen, although Liu Mang would not have been counted against, but if there was no call-up order, he would have been counted! So half of the responsibility lies with Liu Mang.
"Your servant will die!" Liu Wei said, there really was no one in the main hall who dared to stand, their masters were all guilty of themselves. They have other reasons to stand! Since ancient times, the master humiliated his ministers to death, and Liu Mang went to win Jingzhou. Although Liu Biao said it was a warm invitation, it was actually a kind of humiliation! You and I are both the lords of a state, but you have to come to Jingzhou to visit me. Because you want something from me!
"Will die, haha, you can't die. If you die, who will guard the city for Liu Mang, and who will open up the territory for Liu Mang to conquer the world! This Jingzhou, I, Liu Mang, will decide, I will Take a look. What kind of character is this Jingzhou Bajun!"
After Liu Mang said his words, no one from below objected anymore, because they had worked with Liu Mang for a long time and naturally knew Liu Mang's character, once they made up their minds to do it, no one could stop them.
"If my lord is going to Jingzhou, please take Ye with me! Although Ye can't relieve Yangzhou's troubles, but he can share one or two of my lord's trip to Jingzhou!" Liu Ye knew that he couldn't stop Liu Mang from going to Jingzhou. Now I'm counting on Liu Mang to bring me along, and to advise Liu Mang to avoid risks along the way. If you really can't avoid the danger, then let's go on the road with the lord! The trip to Jingzhou is full of dangers.
Liu Mang was also very touched by the time in Gwangju. Liu Ye made a plan to let Liu Mang take risks with himself. It was a last resort. Liu Ye took risks with himself. Now that he is in Jingzhou, Liu Ye will be with him again. I am really touched, "Zi Yang, if you leave , what about the industrial zone in Shouchun!" Liu Mang said to Liu Ye with a smile. Liu Ye can be regarded as the master of mechanics in Liu Mang's army, and he is also a man of science. If he leaves, I am afraid that the industrial area in Shouchun will really be blinded, and the books left by Liu Mang will be useless. people can understand.
"Then my lord!" Liu Ye still didn't give up and wanted Liu Mang to take Xu Shu with him, because Xu Shu and Liu Ye were both outstanding men and first-class counselors.
Who knew that Liu Mang still shook his head, and Xu Shu couldn't leave either, because Xu Shu is Yangzhou's military adviser and needs to command everything in Yangzhou, and with Xu Shu in Yangzhou, Liu Mang can go there with confidence.
"Hehe, Mr. Wenhe said this policy, so we should bring Wenhe with us!" Liu Mang said with a smile, looking at Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe.
Feeling Liu Mang's eyes, Jia Xu could only smile wryly in his heart, stepped forward and cupped his fists and said, "My lord, Xu is too old to travel long distances. Mr. Zi Yang is younger and more energetic than Zhixu, so he should be with you!" Jingzhou The trip can be regarded as full of dangers, if not, Liu Mang will be able to stay in Jingzhou as a hostage, Jia Xu, an old bone, wants to live for a few more years, how could he send himself there.
"Really!" Liu Mang walked down from what he had done with a smile, and stared at Jia Xu without moving his eyes, "Mr. Wenhe, why should you be modest! From Wuyi, to Luoyang, to Chang'an, and then to Nanyang, Mr. Wenhe did not show the slightest old age! This trip to Jingzhou was proposed by Mr. Wenhe. If Mr. Wenhe does not follow this king, this king will You will be sad!" Liu Mang looked at Jia Xu with a teasing look from the corner of his eyes.
What kind of person is Jia Xu? This is a person who is absolutely selfish and selfish. This person puts his own life first. This trip to Jingzhou is full of danger. It is impossible for Xu to go to such a dangerous thing by nature. If Jia Xu agrees to it simply, then Liu Mang will refuse the trip to Jingzhou without hesitation, and directly take Jia Xu for interrogation. If a person becomes abnormal, unless it is forced to, then there is a conspiracy left. Nanyang is obtained by Liu Bei, and Jia Xu is from Nanyang.
But Jia Xu's nature cannot be changed, this nature of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages tells him that Jingzhou cannot go, Jia Xu's reaction like this makes Liu Mang feel at ease! At least there is no Liu Bei in it, no matter how much Jia Xu calculates, he will not count himself into it.
"My lord, it's not Yuan Zhi's villainous heart, but Jia Xu who came to Nanyang. Now that Nanyang is owned by Liu Bei, it is necessary to guard against others. My lord brings Jia Xu. If Jia Xu has no second thoughts, it's okay, you can be my lord." To solve the problem, once Jia Xu has two minds, then the lord's action is no less than letting the tiger go back to the mountain, and the lord can put himself in a dangerous situation, so I hope the lord thinks twice!" Xu Shu is not a villain, but he is standing on the side of Liu Mang. The character planned by the lord gave advice to Liu Mang.
If Jia Xu had two intentions, then Liu Mang brought Jia Xu just like a sheep into the tiger's mouth, and allowed Jia Xu to let the tiger go back to the mountain and escape! And keeping Jia Xu in Shouchun, if Jia Xu has a second heart, he can take Jia Xu directly.
"I know Yuan Zhi's heart, but I believe in Mr. Wen He!"
Believe me? Jia Xu didn't move on the surface, but only he knew the depression in his heart. If you believed him, why would there be murderous intent in his eyes! Fortunately, Jia Xu also knew that it was impossible for Liu Mang, his new recruit, to trust him absolutely.
As Liu Mang said, he stepped forward and patted Jia Xu on the shoulder, and explained to Xu Shu where Jia Xu couldn't see. Jia Xu stayed in Shouchun and Liu Mang didn't feel at ease. Such poisonous snakes are good at plotting, and although Xu Shu and Liu Ye are very resourceful, they are not necessarily Jia Xu's opponents in playing tricks. Jia Xu stayed in Liu Mang. Liu Mang's side, firstly, he can make suggestions, and secondly, if Jia Xu has any second thoughts, hehe, Liu Mang can't guarantee his own safety, but he can guarantee that he can send the sword in his hand into Jia Xu's body, Jia Xu I don't know, even if he really plots against him, I'm afraid Jia Xu will protect his own safety for the sake of his own life. .
Seeing Liu Mang's appearance, Xu Shu could only nod his head, "Yuan Zhi knows about the lord's decision!"
"Zilong's army hasn't been mobilized, has it?!" Liu Mang suddenly asked a question that didn't match the preamble.
"General Xu Sheng's black chess army has just left, and General Zilong's white horse is a cavalry soldier, and his feet are fast, so he can send troops a few days after General Xu Sheng left!" Xu Shu returned to Liu Mang, Zhao Yun's white horse came from Yi is still stationed outside of Shouchun. The black chess army just left today. The black chess army is heavy armored cavalry, and the speed is not fast. If you want to keep the distance between the rear army of the Chinese army, the white horse Congyi needs to walk several times before the black chess army. Just set off after the day.
"Since it's still there, there's no need to go to Linhuai!" Liu Wei directly told Zhao Yun not to leave.
"Three days later, Wenhe and I will go to Jingzhou together, and Zilong will lead the army to go with us!" Liu Mang issued an order.
It's understandable for Jia Xu and Liu Mang to go forward together, but why did Zhao Yun bring the white horse to righteousness? Isn't my lord planning to attack Jingzhou now
"I still want to buy food and grass in Jingzhou! How to attack?!"
"Then what does my lord mean?!"
"Liu Bei from Yuzhou came into my Jingzhou, occupied my land, killed my son, and drove him out of Yangzhou without arguing with him. Now he kills my envoy. He really thinks that Yangzhou is a soft persimmon! Is it Liu Bei who he wants to pinch?! "Liu Wei didn't have a good impression of this Liu Da'er. He wanted to win Xuzhou and settle accounts with Liu Bei and Liu Da'er after getting into the sea, but Liu Bei killed Liu Wei's envoy. People who face but don't fight back.
"The minister waits to receive the order!" All the civil servants and military personnel cupped their fists at Liu Mang to accept the order, and Jia Xu could only retreat with a mournful face, and went back to pack up and prepare.
