Liu Bei, Liu Xun and his party hurried to Jiangling City in South County. Liu Xun immediately looked up, and saw that the city was magnificent, worthy of being a big city. Jiangling is located in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, in the west of Jianghan Plain, adjacent to the Yangtze River in the south, Han River in the north, and Bashu in the west. Entering the city, Liu Xun looked around. There were busy traffic, business travellers, cries on the street, and the cry of children intertwined.
Jiangling has always been a battleground for military strategists. After Liu Biao took over Jingzhou, he strengthened the city wall and encouraged business and trade. Therefore, Jiangling was extremely prosperous and the climate was pleasant. Many people from the northern Central Plains fled here one after another. There are also many celebrities in Jiangling, who have put forward many suggestions for Liu Biao to govern Jingzhou, which is of great help to Liu Biao. Just like this Liu Biao’s messenger Han Song is from Jiangling. If our army has such a city, why worry...
"You are Liu Bei
Liu Xun's thoughts were suddenly interrupted, and his tone sounded unreasonable. Liu Xun followed his reputation, and saw a team of people on the opposite side. The leader was a man riding a tall horse, wearing armor and full of beards, holding a riding whip and raising his head. It was very unreasonable.
I saw Liu Bei hand in hand and said: "It is Liu Bei underneath."
I've seen it two years ago, but I still asked, Cai Hao, you are very arrogant, and Liu Xun is very angry. Liu Xun vaguely remembered that when his father brought his family and generals to join Liu Biao two years ago, Cai Hao was very upset. Fortunately for the son Liu Qi, Liu Biao agreed to hand over Xinye and Fancheng to Liu Bei to garrison him and provide grain and grass at regular intervals every month, but Cai Hao would deduct it every time, and he always had trouble with us.
"What are you doing here?" Cai Hao continued to ask, his tone still arrogant.
"The lord invites Uncle Liu to come to share the clan friendship," Han Song replied.
Then, Han Song led Liu Bei, Liu Xun and others to the inn, arranged food and accommodation, had a good rest, and met Liu Biao the next day. After eating, the sky was already dark, and Liu Xun called Zhao Yun to go for a walk. There are many merchants in Gangneung, so business is prosperous. At night, Jiangling City is brightly lit, and shops and pubs are very lively. Although I have just eaten, there is no alcohol. So Liu Xun said to Zhao Yun, let's go to the pub to have a drink, and Zhao Yun readily agreed.
When they arrived at the tavern, the two asked for a pot of wine, half a catty of peanuts, and a catty of soy beef, and they drank.
"You know, Yuan Kui's attack on Runan was defeated by Cao Ren, and he also damaged General Ji Ling, and he was shot with an arrow." A businessman and companion at the next table commented.
"I heard that the thief in Xiangyang was attracted by Cai Hao. I heard that they reached an agreement that the thief army will destroy Liu Qi and the city of Xiangyang will return to the thief army?" another merchant said.
"How is it possible that Liu Biao can allow Cai Tao to do this?" another asked in a low voice.
"Oh, Liu Biao is dim-eyed and indulges in the gentle hometown of Cai Hao's sister, how can I manage this", some people argued.
"Don't talk about state affairs, drink and drink", "do it well."
Hearing this, Liu Xun knew a little bit in his heart, and it really had something to do with Cai Hao.
Liu Xun thought to himself that it would be necessary to train special spies to gain a firm foothold in the future. Although, I have tried to train hundreds of white-eared cavalry on the basis of white-eared soldiers, in order to achieve special soldiers who can dismount and fight on horseback. However, the conditions were limited and ultimately failed. In the future, when there is a chance, not only the white-eared cavalry must be trained, but also spies, which will be very useful.
Liu Xun hurriedly finished drinking and returned to the station with Zhao Yun.
Liu Xun walked to his father's room and told Liu Bei that Yuan Kui had failed and Cai Hao had colluded with the culprits. After Liu Bei heard this, he sighed and said: In this way, we must strengthen our strength as soon as possible. The chaos in Jingzhou may be our opportunity. "
In the early morning of the next day, Han Song came to send a message that Liu Biao was going to meet Liu Bei and Liu Xun in person.
They went to the prefecture and animal husbandry with Han Song to meet Liu Biao.
Liu Biao’s prefecture and pastoral mansion is magnificent, and it seems to be newly built. How much people’s blood and sweat will be spent on it, Liu Xun has an indescribable feeling in his heart.
When they arrived in the lobby of the prefecture, Liu Bei and Liu Xun handed over to Liu Biao.
Liu Biao said, "Please sit down, virtuous brother and nephew."
Liu Biao's clothes were luxurious, but he was more aged and kinder than two years ago. Liu Xun looked at Liu Biao.
"My nephew is really handsome, brave and wise, much better than my two unconvincing sons." Liu Biao sighed as he said.
"Where, Liu Qi, everyone knows the good names of the two sons Liu Cong." Liu Bei said.
"I'm looking for a good brother to meet, and I have important matters to discuss with the good brother. I am old and my two sons are already grown-ups. I am hesitant to let who inherit my seat." Liu Biao still sighed.
"This is a family affair for my elder brother. We live here as a guest. It is not easy to involve. But since ancient times, it will cause disasters. Liu Bei said that, he is still biased towards Liu Qi.
I'm afraid my uncle won't have to hesitate soon. "Liu Xun said suddenly.
Liu Bei reprimanded: Don't talk nonsense, what do you know. "
"Why did the nephew say that? Although Liu Biao didn't understand what it meant, he still asked patiently.
The Yellow Turban Army has 50,000 horses, and Young Master Liu Qi is a kind man, how can he defeat the 50,000 fierce thieves. "Liu Xun expressed his worries.
"But Cai Hao said that the Yellow Turban Army is a mob. Ten thousand troops are enough to defeat the Yellow Turban Army." Liu Biao sounded very unconfident, perhaps aware of his negligence. Before Liu Biao spoke, soldiers came to report that Xiangyang had been breached by the thieves, and the son Liu Qi was being chased by the thieves.
"As expected, the Yellow Turban Army broke through Xiangyang City." Liu Xun sighed and continued.
"Then my son is not dangerous!" Liu Biao panicked, "Is there a way to save my son"
"My uncle, please give me three thousand cavalry soldiers, and I will definitely save Big Brother Liu Qi." Liu Xun asked for orders.
"Okay, the tiger father has no dogs. When will we leave?" Liu Biao asked.
"Go now." Liu Xun said categorically.
Liu Biao immediately assigned three thousand cavalry to Liu Xun.
Liu Biao wanted to stay with Liu Bei for a few days, but Liu Bei thought that Fancheng had just gone through the war and had to go back to prepare the army to prevent Cao Jun, so he declined. Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun were left to assist Liu Xun, and after a few words to Liu Xun, he rushed back overnight.
The two generals Liu Xun, Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei led three thousand cavalrymen and rushed towards Xiangyang in a hurry. On the road, the defeated soldiers were constantly fleeing towards Jiangling. Liu Xun sent someone to arrest several people at random to ask, but they did not know where Liu Qi was.
Jingzhou was originally a prosperous and prosperous place. However, Liu Biao was greedy for pleasure, favored Mrs. Cai, and reused his cousin, Cai Tao, to make Jingzhou smog, and the people suffered. It's really vain to be the owner.
Several hours have passed, but Liu Qi is still not found. Liu Xun is very anxious and doesn't know what to do.
"His grandmother's counsel, save him, and now I don't know where to go, let's go back." Zhang Fei became impatient.
"General Zhang can't make troubles, Liu Qi's son, Jiren, will find it," he said as he gestured to Zhang Fei, who was surrounded by officers and soldiers Liu Biao. Zhang Fei was not stupid, realizing that Liu Biao’s soldiers were next to him, and it wouldn’t be good if it reached Liu Biao’s ears. After all, Fancheng belongs to others, and they also need to provide food and grass. So he smiled and said, "Well, everyone, look for it together, and look for it quickly."
"Come and save me," everyone followed the prestige, and saw dozens of riders fleeing here. Is Liu Qi among the people here
