Three Kingdoms

Chapter 3: The messenger of Liu Biao

Views:

The resolution of the Fancheng crisis gave Liu Xun a long sigh of relief. Liu Xun is not immersed in people's praise, but thinks more long-term. Liu Xun believes that Fancheng has a small population and cannot recruit more soldiers, nor can he support more soldiers. If you want to make a difference, you must occupy a larger territory. Jingzhou is a strategically important place with a large population and abundant resources. At the very least, it can support one hundred thousand elite soldiers. It is an ideal place.

However, the existing five thousand troops cannot defeat Liu Biao. Moreover, Liu Biao is also a clan of the Han clan. As a last resort, Liu Xun does not want to fight in the same room. Moreover, his father Liu Bei has always been based on benevolence and righteousness, and he will certainly not have the heart to take the initiative to seize Liu Biao's city. Thinking of this, Liu Xun sighed deeply and walked slowly in the courtyard where he lived.

"My son, the lord is looking for you, let you go quickly," a soldier from Liu Bei ran over and said.

"Is there something urgent?" When Liu Xun saw the pro-army hurried over, he thought something was wrong.

"Jingzhou Mu Liubiao sent envoys to reward our soldiers, and the lord asked you to come and meet them," the soldier replied.

"Weird, what is Liu Biao's messenger doing?" Liu Xun was surprised, muttering as he walked.

Liu Xun walked to the conference hall and saw Liu Bei was chatting with the messenger, as if he were very intimate. Seeing Liu Xun's arrival, the envoy stood up and said, "Under Han Song, I have heard of the name of the son for a long time, such as Lei Guaner. I am fortunate to see him today.

Liu Xun bowed his hand in return and said, "Don't take the prize, Han." After that, he stood beside Liu Bei.

"My father-in-law heard that Liu Huangshu had just gone through a great war and there was a shortage of food and grass, so he sent me 30,000 food and grass, which is enough for half a year of the five thousand army," Han Song said with a smile.

Why is Liu Biao so generous? Liu Xun asked in his heart, before asking for food and grass, it would be good to be able to give five thousand each time, but now he took the initiative to send thirty thousand.

"Thank you so much, Brother Jing Sheng, I don't know if there is anything that Brother Jing Sheng needs help, I'll take care of myself." Of course Liu Bei is very happy with so much food, so he politely replied.

"It's not a big deal, that is, my Patriarch wants Uncle Liu to go to Jiangling City in the South County to discuss the family friendship of Xuzong." Han Song said truthfully.

It's strange that there may be something to discuss about what the Xuzong family friendship is doing now, but it's just inconvenience to say, Liu Xun thought in his heart.

"Brother Jing Sheng is in Nanjun?" Liu Bei was surprised. The office of Jingzhou was obviously in Xiangyang County. How could I meet in Nanjun

"There are a lot of bandits in Xiangyang, they are not a permanent place, and Jingzhou's office has been moved to Nanjun, and now Xiangyang is guarded by the eldest son Liu Qi." Han Song seemed to be prepared and answered very fluently.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple. The Cai family is a big family in Jiangling. It must be Mrs. Cai and Cai Tao and others who asked Uncle Liu Biao to move the office to Jiangling, so that the Cai family can better control the power of Jingzhou." Liu Xun finally couldn't help but speak out.

"That's all I know. For the specific situation, when I meet with my Patriarch, Uncle Liu Huang can ask my Patriarch." Han Song shrugged a little unhappy.

"Well, I'll rush over tomorrow." Liu Bei asked the attendant to take Han Song to the station to rest and set off together tomorrow.

After Han Song left, Liu Xun said to Liu Bei anxiously: "Father is really going to South County? Now the situation is unknown, it is best not to commit the risk alone."

Liu Bei patted Liu Xun on the shoulder and said, "Liu Biao will not harm me. You will go with me tomorrow."

Liu Bei usually trains Liu Xun in a planned way, and he takes Liu Xun to do everything. It is really well-intentioned. Indeed, for a feudal society in the world, especially in a world of great controversy, heirs must have extraordinary talents to ensure the continuation of a power. And relying on talent alone, without actual training, is absolutely impossible. Without practical experience, you can only talk about soldiers on paper, and it will definitely damage your own power. If you can’t even talk about soldiers on paper, then it’s definitely not far from ruin.

Liu Xun originally wanted to remind his father to go three or four. However, Liu Xun saw that his father seemed very confident, so he didn't say anything. In fact, what my father said was right, although we have conflicts with the Cai family in Jiangling. But after all, the power is still in Liu Biao's hands. Liu Biao will definitely not harm us. Liu Xun thought about it in his heart and thought that things were not as bad as he thought, so he no longer worried.

The next day, as soon as the sky was light, Liu Xun got up. In the early summer season, the morning is not too hot. Open the window, the fragrance of flowers blows out, and the birds outside are chirping and lively. Although Fancheng has gone through wars, it still can't stop this beautiful scenery. My mother must have liked such a good weather, but now my mother can no longer see this beautiful scenery. Thinking of this, Liu Xun's eyes are moist.

"Xun'er, have dinner."

Liu Xun followed his reputation and turned out to be his concubine Mi. Mrs. Mi has a gentle personality, a good temper, and a kind-hearted heart. She always regarded herself as a few. Madam Mi has a daughter who is six years old, very cute.

Seeing that Liu Xun’s eyes were moist, Madam Mi understood something in her heart. She patted Liu Xun and said, “My sister (referring to Mrs. Gan) has left unfortunately. I will take good care of you. Don’t be sad, Xun’er.” Helped Liu Xun wipe his eyes.

Liu Xun and Mrs. Mi went downstairs to eat. When I arrived in the dining room, I saw Mrs. Mi's daughter. Liu Chun ran over to Liu Xun and said coquettishly: "My brother will take me to buy sweets soon", which is very cute. Everyone laughed when they heard it. Mrs. Mi held Liu Chun in her arms and said in a low voice, "My brother will go to work with my father later, and I will take you when I come back."

Liu Chun didn't want to, Liu Xun hooked her and Liu Chuncai didn't make trouble. It is rare for Liu Xun to be as happy as today. There is rarely such a scene in his memory-a family reunion, having a happily meal, and having a good time.

The people of the world don’t want to live a peaceful life, but now the Han Dynasty is in danger, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty is in danger, the people are in trouble, the world is falling apart, it is very sad, I must work hard to revive the Han room, so that the people of the world will no longer You can live a good life even if you suffer, Liu Xun said silently in his heart. However, this road will be very difficult, and there are still many unknown challenges waiting for Liu Xun.

After dinner, Liu Bei ordered Guan Yu to guard the city. Leading more than one hundred soldiers, including Liu Xun, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Fei, followed Han Song to the South County.

When we arrived in Xiangyang, people were sparsely populated, pushing cars and dragging their families to the east. They looked flustered, they were obviously fleeing, mixed with the cry of children, which made them even more chaotic. Liu Bei, Liu Xun and the others stopped unconsciously and wanted to ask what was going on.

Liu Xun stepped forward to help an old man who fell on the ground, and Liu Bei and Zhao Yun followed. Liu Xun asked the old man, "Old man, where are you going at such an old age?"

The old man trembled and said: "I don't know where a group of thieves came from. I heard that there are 50,000 people. The nearby villages have been harmed by them. They rob things, rob girls, and kill people. I heard that they will soon We attacked Xiangyang, and everyone said that Xiangyang could not be defended, so everyone ran in the direction of Jiangling."

"You guys go quickly too, you will be too late, and your life won't be saved." The old man hurriedly ran away after speaking.

"Where is the thief army?" Liu Bei asked Han Song.

Han Song said: "It seems that Zhang Bao, the son of Zhang Jiao, is a coincidence. After the lord moved to Jiangling, he suddenly appeared. The lord has sent his son Liu Qi to lead an army of 10,000 into Xiangyang to fight against the Yellow Turban Army to stabilize the people. ."

Liu Qi is just a weak son with only ten thousand horses. How could he resist the ferocious Yellow Turban army? Liu Xun secretly shook his head, always feeling something wrong in his heart.

"Well, everyone gets on the horse, hurry up," Liu Bei greeted.

Maybe when you arrive in Jiangling, you will know what's going on. Perhaps such a chaotic situation is just an opportunity for our army. Liu Xun couldn’t tell whether it was a blessing or a curse.

"My son, hurry up and follow up" Zhao Yun turned his head and shouted to Liu Xun when he saw that Liu Xun hadn't got on the horse.

Okay, no matter what. It is a blessing or a curse that always rushes forward. "Driving..." Thinking of this, Liu Xun hurried forward and continued to rush to South County with everyone. Maybe the opportunity is ahead...
