Chapter 192

When Huan Yi went to Leiyang to take office this time, he brought not only his wife, but also dozens of members of the Huan clan with him.Without asking Liu Jing, he knew that it must be Huan Jie and Huan Yi who were not optimistic about Zhang Xian's prospects, so they ordered the people to go south to avoid him at this time.

In fact, not only the Huan family, but Liu Jing also recently received a letter from his clan brother Liu Pan, who also expressed his intention to let some clansmen go south to join him.

For this, Liu Jing was naturally willing in every possible way.In this era, a person who has no clan to rely on is tantamount to a lonely ghost.

Now he has as many as a dozen members of the Longqiu Liu clan under his command, including clan brothers Liu Xiu and clan brother Liu Liang. important role.

And it was these people who were even difficult to be ranked in the Liu family of Longqiu before. Except for Liu Xiu and Liu Liang, everyone else was mortal.How could Liu Jing not be enthusiastic about having the opportunity to recruit more and better clan members under his command.

The dozens of members of Huan's family were arranged by Liu Jing in Duting, Lingxian County, and Huanyi was connected to the official residence of the county temple by him, and he wrote a letter in his own hand, which was sent to Zhongshui Township as quickly as possible. In the hands of Ma Zhou and Chu Fang.

Afterwards, Liu Jing dragged Huan Yi to the dormitory, exchanged cups, and chatted side by side.The two hadn't seen each other for more than a year, and there was endless talk in their hearts, and there was constant laughter and laughter.

When the two lived next to each other in the official residence, they shared similar interests and talked about everything, and they often held candles until late at night before giving up.

Today was no exception, as the sky gradually darkened, Liu Jing asked people to light candles to illuminate the dormitory, and continued to chat with Huan Yi.The two chatted until the middle of the night, and when they felt sleepy, they slept together on the same couch and fell asleep on their feet.

In the next few days, the two discussed current affairs while waiting for news from Leiyang.Of course, in the so-called discussions, Liu Jing said most of the time and Huan Yi listened.

Huan Yi has long been used to this way of getting along.

Ma Zhou and Chu Fang didn't keep them waiting for long. On the fourth day, news came back that they had successfully captured Leiyang and captured all the chief officials alive.

Excluding the one-way and one-way trips, Ma Zhou and Chu Fang took just over a day to take down Leiyang, which is really fast.

Huan Yi immediately stopped staying in Ling County and took his family with him to prepare for his post.

Liu Jing thought that although Ma Zhou and Chu Fang had successfully defeated Leiyang, Leiyang was not a very peaceful place in the first place, and with such a change just now, there might be a lot of unrest in the territory.

For the safety of Huan Yi, Liu Jing decided to escort Huan Yi to his post with a military boat.

For Liu Jing's decision, Huan Yi was quite surprised. Now that the situation in Jingnan is so chaotic, Liu Biao and Zhang Xian may break out at any time. At this time, Liu Jing wants to go south with all his heart, which is a bit strange.But in the end Huan Yi didn't object either, he didn't think Liu Jing would have any bad thoughts about him.

Of course, Liu Jing would not have such bad thoughts about Huan Yi. When he went to Leiyang this time, his first goal was naturally Zhuyefang in Leiyang, and the second was to poach people.

I remember that it was three years ago when General Yang Ding went south to invade Jingzhou and was killed by troops sent by Liu Biao. Two or three hundred soldiers under his command refused to surrender and were dispatched by Liu Biao to Leiyang Tieguan as slaves.

Time has passed for so long, and I don't know how many of them are still alive.

…………

Jingzhou, Nanjun, Xiangyang.

The so-called "one thousand people, completely even ten thousand heaven and man, boundless and boundless." At this moment, tens of thousands of Han troops lined up in the southern suburbs of Xiangyang, forming a camp, and there was no sound.

In front of the infantry phalanx, there is a group of Xuanjia cavalry with more than a thousand people.

Looking up, it really is the Xuanjia shining the sun, the flags covering the sky, and the military appearance is extremely strong.

Uncle Huang, General Zhennan, Mu of Jingzhou, and Marquis of Chengwu Liu Biao, all dressed in Yanmian and red gowns authorized by the emperor, stationed under the canopy.

"The Book of Songs Daya Han Yi" says: "Wang Xi Han Hou, Shu Qi Sui Zhang, Cuo Cuo Heng, Xuan Gun Chi Jia."

Yanmian and Chixi are all clothes and shoes that can only be worn by the emperor and princes and kings.

Because of Liu Biao's meritorious service in escorting the emperor when he was in trouble, he specially bestowed "Xi advocating the cart, commanding orders and praising him, and calling him uncle." Xi's princes and kings have reached the level.

Liu Biao had an extraordinary appearance, more than eight feet long, and a gentle appearance. He also wore the clothes of princes and kings with Yanmian and red boats, left and right carts, bamboo flutes, and drums, and he was very dignified.

Anyone who stood in front of Liu Biao would inevitably look pale by comparison, except for one person, who was also eight feet long, with a handsome appearance, wearing a silk scarf on his head, wearing a heavy armor, with a knife on his waist, and stood bowed in front of Liu Biao.

This person is a well-known scholar in Jingzhou, Zhennan General Chang Shi, former Zhangling County Prefect, Fan Tinghou, Kuai Yue Kuai Yidu.After Kuai Tong, he is a man of profound wisdom and Kui Jie has a majestic appearance.

When the great general He Jin came to power, he heard his name and named him Dongcao.Kuai Yue persuaded He Jin to kill the eunuch, but He Jin hesitated. Kuai Yue expected that he would be defeated, so he left the capital.Later, Liu Biao rode into Jingzhou, and was able to quickly quell the disturbances in the territory, thanks to Kuai Yue's scheme.

Liu Biao said slowly, "I will entrust you with the affairs of the south." Kuai Yue is the commander of the army who went south to attack Zhang Xian this time, but he is not the only commander. The Zhennan General who is currently in Jiangling Cai Mao, the military adviser and the prefect of Nanjun, is also the commander in chief, and the two are in charge of the Shuibu army.

"I will live up to the general's entrustment." Kuai Yue bowed solemnly with military etiquette: "Changsha is not sloppy, dare to make chaos and disobedience, now under the order of the general, raise the soldiers of the whole country, and punish the rebellion with righteousness. If the violence is smooth, the south of the great river and the north of Wuling will be returned to the general's rule."

"Good." Liu Biao nodded and smiled.

After Kuaiyue, all the generals stepped forward to bid farewell to Liu Biao. Most of the time, Liu Biao remained silent, maintaining his majestic image, until a young man in armor, nearly eight feet tall and handsome, strode forward.

Liu Biao looked at the young man in front of him warmly. Although he had a lot of trust in Kuai Yue and Cai Mao, as a superior, it was impossible to hand over all the power of the general without protection to the subordinates. He would definitely place his own people in the army. , such as the son in front of me.

This son is his nephew, named Liu Pan. He didn't like reading since he was a child, but only loved bow and horse. He was an unusual number among the Liu family in Shanyang.

Liu Biao is a well-known celebrity in the world. In his eyes, no martial artist can stand on the stage. Liu Pan, who was not fond of martial arts in the past, thought that it would be difficult for him to make great achievements in the future.

However, as the world became more and more chaotic, his attitude towards Liu Pan also changed. Later, when Jingzhou was pacified, Liu Pan's bravery played a big role.In the battle of trapping and killing Jingzhou sect thieves, Liu Pan killed all the thieves who were known as healthy.

It's a pity that Liu Panyong is brave, but he has no scheming and strategy. He can only be a general, not a commander.Now Zhonglang will lead the cavalry.

It is said that it is a cavalry army, but in fact there are only more than [-] people. There is no way, Jingzhou has few horses, and there are even fewer good horses that can be used for combat.But in Guanzhong and Shu, where good horses can be obtained, one is in chaos, and the other has enmity with him.During Liu Biao's several years of hunting down refugees from Guanzhong, beheading and beheading the generals in Liangzhou, he only had more than a thousand good horses.

Liu Biao was a little worried about Liu Pan, and Yin Yin warned: "Kuai Yidu and Cai Degui are heroes of Jingchu Qishi, and now they are the commanders-in-chief of the army. Although you are my nephew, you should be humble and obey the orders of the general, and you must not rely on yourself. Special status, provoking the commanding majesty."

"Pan never dares to disobey my uncle's order." Liu Pan said very solemnly.Kuai Yue and Cai Mao can be regarded as uncle's right-hand men, especially Cai Mao, who has also become his uncle's brother-in-law. Liu Pan dare not be presumptuous with them easily.

Liu's face softened, and he encouraged him a few more words, and finally patted him heavily on the shoulder, saying: "I hope that when you come back, your meritorious service has been accomplished, and then I will ask for merit for you, and you will be named a marquis and general, just around the corner. Go Bar……"

"No." Liu Pan stepped down from the general platform with a passionate expression, strode to his mount, and flew up.

Beside him, there is a cavalry general, who is nearly forty years old, with a majestic body, a face like cast iron, a pair of tiger eyes, and a thick and black beard, looking majestic.

Liu Pan said to the cavalry general: "Han Sheng, a man who lives in the world, is a marquis when he is born, and a temple food when he dies. The rest are not enough. The merit of being a marquis today is right in front of us. We encourage you and me."

"promise."

The so-called "major events of the country are sacrificed to the army." Historically, it is not a simple matter for a large army to go to war. As the commander, Kuai Yue went through a series of procedures, and read in public an article "Discussing Changsha Calligraphy" written by the talented Wang Can After that, he led an army of 2 soldiers, cavalry, and sailors, and went south to Jiangling to join Cai Mao.

The two joined forces, and the total force exceeded [-], including hundreds of buildings, boats, warships, and fighting ships.

After resting for a few days, on August [-]st, Kuaiyue and Cai Mao led an army of [-] troops from Jingzhou and marched down the river.

The Jingzhou North-South War officially broke out.
