Chapter 296 Good News

Wei Yan came out of the city gate, feeling both excited and emotional. He was originally a knight-errant soldier, but now he is reduced to a prisoner. Unexpectedly, Liu Jing treated him with such courtesy and respect, which made him feel like he was in a dream. Feel.

If Liu Jing's lover is like this, it's no wonder that he can defeat Jingzhou's all-powerful army with only one county. To serve such a person, Wei Yan is also willing to do his best. Although he is heartbroken, he will die without hatred.

When he was leaving, Wei Yan subconsciously turned his head and saw Liu Jing standing on the top of the tower, smiling and nodding at him.

Wei Yan's heart warmed, and he bowed to Liu Jingyao solemnly before turning and leaving.

It wasn't until Wei Yan's figure disappeared that Liu Jing looked away. He didn't promote Wei Yan, but just put on a gesture of "generous and loving, respecting the virtuous and respecting scholars", which made Wei Yan tearful.

The reason why Wei Yan was not promoted was that he was a surrendered general, and now that he has made every inch of his achievements, he would be promoted rashly, fearing that the generals under his command would not accept him.Both of them are still very young, just in their early twenties, and he has not been in the army for a long time, only a year, and it will not be too late to reuse after a year or two of experience.

Then Liu Jing summoned brothers Huo Du and Huo Jun.

"At Huo Du Huo Bomiao, Huo Jun and Huo Zhongmiao in Xianan County, meet Liu Jun..."

"Bo Miao, Zhong Miao, you are welcome, all the heroes of Nanjun, I think you brothers should be the leader, so I called you here first..." Liu Jing repeated his old trick again, stepped forward to help the Huo brothers up, and let the waiters stand aside Yu Zheng couldn't help feeling anxious again, lamenting that Liu Jing was too careless, what should he do if the other party harbors evil intentions?He could only concentrate and stare at the Huo brothers with his halberd.

"I dare not be Liu Jun's praise..." Huo Du and Huo Jun clasped their fists together.

Huo Dunnian was about thirty years old, more than seven feet long, with a strong body, a dignified appearance, and a majestic bearing, which was impressive.Huo Jun is about 22 or [-] years old. He is about the same height as his brother, but his appearance and bearing are not as good.

Huo Du's first impression on Liu Jing was excellent, and he couldn't help but think of his brother Liu Zong.On the contrary, Huo Jun, the famous Shu Han general who has left his name in history, seems to be indifferent.

Liu Jing asked about the past experiences of the two brothers, and he knew the reason. Huo Du was a knight-errant when he was young, and he was one of the famous writers. Protect your hometown from external aggression.After Liu Biao went to Jingzhou alone, Huo Du returned with his troops and was worshiped as Sima of another department.Compared to Huo Du, who started from scratch, Huo Jun is still a little immature.

Liu Jing smiled and said, "You are from Zhijiang, South County... I remember that Zhijiang is the Marquis of eunuch Li Gang, right?"

The reason why he knew so clearly was because Xiangnan, Xiajun and Zhijiang in Changsha were all conferred eunuchs by Emperor Shun.At the same time, not only these three people, but a total of nineteen people were enshrined at the same time. This is the famous "Nineteen Marquis" during Emperor Shun's time.

At that time, Emperor An died, Empress Yan, her younger brother Yan Xian, and eunuch Jiang Jing were in disorder, deposing Shun Emperor in the prince's period.Fortunately, Sun Cheng, Li Gang and other 19 eunuchs secretly formed an alliance, launched a coup to kill Jiangjing's party, and then helped Li Shun Emperor to ascend the throne, and eradicated Yan's relatives, so all [-] eunuchs were named lieutenants for their meritorious service.

Huo Du nodded and said: "Liu Jun is well-informed and knowledgeable, Zhijiang is indeed the Marquis of the Li family."

Although eunuchs cannot have offspring, they can adopt sons to inherit their titles. For example, Cao Song, Cao Cao's father, inherited Cao Teng's title.

Liu Jing asked: "It has been two years since your brothers led the troops to march south with the Northern Army. Have you ever returned to your hometown during this period?"

Huo Du replied: "Last year, I waited on rotation and returned home for two months." Since Kuai Yue used the strategy of encircling Linxiang and not attacking Linxiang most of the time, the frequency of fighting was not high, so the soldiers were able to alternate rotations and return home. .

Liu Jing sighed: "After two years of fighting, but only returning home for two months, the soldiers are so miserable. When I went north to Xiangyang, Liu Jingzhou asked me about the situation in Jingnan, and I told him: "Heaven's help, Shun Ye; Faith is what helps people. I hope that Liu Jingzhou can keep his faith and rule the people with leniency. It won’t be long before Jingnan returns to his heart and the people are sincere. It’s a pity that Liu Jingzhou didn’t listen to my advice and finally decided Sending troops to attack Jingnan, they have been invincible for many years, and now the entire army has been wiped out."

Brothers Huo Du and Huo Jun looked at each other. It was not appropriate for them to agree or refute this, so they could only be silent.

Liu Jing said again: "The Son of Heaven is extremely intelligent and has the qualities of King Cheng of Zhou. Liu Jingzhou is the elder of the clan and could have been the Duke of Zhou in the Han Dynasty. Rescue. Later, the emperor was out of trouble and returned to Luoyang in the east. Although Liu Jingzhou provided money and food, he refused to welcome him. It can be seen that he only cared about his own interests and disregarded the country! If I were the lord of Jingzhou, I would respect the emperor, flog the world, and eliminate disasters , to revive the Han Dynasty..."

After hearing this, Huo Du and Huo Jun couldn't help admiring that Liu Jingkuang's idea of ​​helping the world did not arise suddenly. From this we can see that he has a profound bearing and a broad ambition.Most importantly, Liu Jing has the ability to realize his ambitions.

The Huo brothers exchanged glances again, and at the same time they left the table and bowed down: "Although my brother is not talented, he is willing to follow Liu Jun to eliminate disasters and restore the Han Dynasty, and he will not hesitate to die."

"Good." Liu Jing clapped his hands and smiled.

After the Huo brothers, Liu Jing received Feng Xi, Gao Xiang and others separately. In the next two days, Liu Jing hardly had a moment to relax, meeting dozens of people non-stop.

Of course, ordinary generals don't get the same treatment as Wei Yan, the Huo brothers, Feng Xi, Gao Xiang and others. Most of the time, Liu Jing sits still, and if he doesn't find anything special about the opponent, he will send him away with a few words.

…………

Guiyang County, Leiyang County.

Ling County is located between the Hunan, Lei, and Cheng Rivers, and the Xiang River is the most harmful, because the water depth on the flat land outside the city is several feet deep.In contrast, the situation in Leiyang is better, but the water in Leiyang also overflowed the dam and submerged some crops.

Jingnan in August was at the time of the autumn harvest. After the flood broke out in Leiyang, Huan Yi personally led the county officials to harvest the rice soaked in the water day and night to recover the loss as much as possible.

While busy day and night in the field, Huan Yi couldn't help but feel worried about Liu Jing. We all know that the rammed earth city walls are extremely strong, but they are afraid of being soaked by rain.

After so many days of heavy rain, the city walls of Leiyang collapsed to varying degrees, not to mention the besieged Ling County.

Once something happens to the city wall of Ling County and it collapses, facing the tens of thousands of Jingzhou troops outside the city, the consequences will be disastrous.

Just when Huan Yi was worried about his friend, good news from Ling County came...
