Chapter 444

"The style is better than before?" Wang Can shook his head with a wry smile, and sighed, "I have lived in Xiangyang for nine years, and these nine years can be described as 'wasting my time and accomplishing nothing'. How can a down-and-out person talk about style?"

At the age of 15, he became a friend of the great Confucian Cai Yong, who became famous all over the world. At the age of 17, he was called by the emperor to be the servant of the Huangmen, which is unique in the world.

Now at the age of 26, I have the talent to help the world, but I have no place to use it. I can only commit myself to Liu Biao's shogunate and flatter me with words.

Liu Jing stroked his back and said: "Zhongxuan is brilliant, knowledgeable, and unique in Hannan. He is Wang Zuo's talent. Liu Shijun treats him as a literati, so it is unwise. If you like a virtuous man and don't use it, the country is in danger and there is no help. , this may be the reason for Liu Shijun's final defeat."

Wang Can and Liu Xian are both Liu Biao's old officials, and Liu Jing himself is considered Liu Biao's subordinate, so it's not easy to criticize them too much, let's just stop there.

"Fang is in turmoil today, and there are more than a thousand scholars from Guanzhong, Yan, and Yu who avoided the chaos in Jingzhou? These people are all handsome in the world, and Zhongxuan is the leader."

Liu Jing said again: "If I want to report to the country and go down to An Lishu, I need this generation's full support. Zhongxuan has always learned from others. I want to use Zhongxuan as Dongcao to select talents for me and serve as the shogunate. I don't know Zhongxuan How about the declaration?"

Dong Caoyu was originally an official of the prime minister. Since the present dynasty, the three princes and even the heavy generals have been appointed, with a rank ratio of four hundred stones. He is in charge of the promotion, transfer, and appointment and dismissal of two thousand stone chiefs. He has great power.

Logically speaking, Liu Jing is a miscellaneous general, so he is not qualified to set up Dong Cao.

However, he already occupied the lands of Jing and Jiao prefectures, as the saying goes: "When a doctor goes out of the border, he can secure the country and save the people, and he can specialize it." Now that the world is in chaos and the system is abolished, there is no need to stick to the rules in everything. Write to the emperor, just report it.

Cao Cao's Eastern Caoyu was Mao Jie, the important minister who proposed "following the emperor's order to not be a minister".Sun Quan's Dongcaoyu was Gu Hui and Zhang Wen who were born in Wu County with four surnames "Gu, Lu, Zhu, and Zhang".Liu Biao's Dongcao also used Fu Xun, a famous scholar, from which we can see its importance.

"Dare to obey."

Wang Can was overjoyed. From an unappreciated civil servant, he became one of the most powerful people in Jingzhou and Jiaozhou. What does it mean to reach the sky in one step?That's it.

Wang Can bowed deeply: "The general treats me like a soldier of the country, and I will definitely repay him as a soldier of the country."

"Zhongxuan doesn't need to be too polite." Liu Jing held Wang Can up, feeling a lot of emotion for a while. Wang Can wrote to him a few months ago and called him "Zhongda". Now he has changed his name to "General". Only a few clan brothers Liu Zong and Liu Xiu can address him by his Biaozi.

Liu Xian looked at it from the sidelines and was amazed in his heart. Wang Can's talent is well known in the world, so there is no need to repeat it. Wang Can is not only from the same hometown as Liu Biao, but his grandfather Wang Chang is also Liu Biao's teacher. The relationship between the two is so close that Liu Biao cannot reuse it.

As soon as Liu Jingfu saw Wang Can, he paid homage to Dong Caozhu and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility. The attitude of the two of them towards talents can be seen from this.

Liu Jing then received several representatives of Xiangyang noble families and state officials, and then invited Wang Can, Liu Xian and his party to Liqiu.

In the temple of the township, looking at the officials under Liu Jing's command, except for Han Ji and Xiang Lang who had defected recently, the rest, such as Zhuge Liang, Jiang Wan, Deng Zhi, Li Yan, etc., were all young people in their twenties. Can't help being touched first.

It was such a group of young people, following the same young Liu Jing, they were invincible in all directions, and they killed the heroes of Erzhou.

Liu Xian is only 40 years old this year and is in his prime, but facing this group of young people, he feels old.

Liu Xian shook his head secretly, holding the seal and ribbon of General Zhennan in one hand, and the seal and ribbon of Jingzhou Mu in the other, offering it to Liu Jing.

Liu Jing took the seal and played with it in his hands, his expression very calm.

General Zhennan is not only a heavy-duty general, but also awarded by the emperor as "supervising the military affairs of the three states of Jiaojiao, Yang, and Yi."

This power can be said to be so great that it can intervene in the affairs of Jiaozhou, Yangzhou (Jiangdong), and Yizhou at will.

Relying on the power granted to him by the emperor, Liu Biao spied on Bashu in the west and invaded Yuzhang in the east. It was not until Liu Jing rose in Jingnan that Liu Biao had no choice but to stop coveting and promoting.

It is conceivable that Cao Cao would definitely not agree to Liu Jing taking over as General Zhennan, and there is absolutely no room for compromise on this matter.

As for Jingzhou shepherd, limited by the avoidance principle of the "three mutual laws" of this dynasty, Liu Jing, as a native of Jingzhou, could not serve as Jingzhou shepherd.

That is to say, General Zhennan and Jingzhou Mu, he couldn't catch any of them without accident.

"However, I got rid of Liu Biao's serious trouble for Cao Cao, why should he show something?" Liu Jing laughed in his heart.

When Cao Cao heard that Yuan Shao had died of illness, he couldn't bear it any longer. Not long ago, he led a large army to the north, planning to take advantage of this opportunity to wipe out the Yuan family and unify the north.

This is also the reason why Liu Jing won Jingzhou without external interference. If Cao Cao was in Xuchang, he might not have watched him annex Jingzhou.After all, Liu Biao had subdued Cao Cao before, which gave him ample excuse to send troops to intervene.

In history, Cao Cao crossed Hebei and fought fiercely with the brothers Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan. Although they won consecutive battles, they were not enough to defeat the Yuan brothers.

Facing the unfavorable situation, Yuan Shang ordered his cousin Gao Gan, governor of Bingzhou, and Shanyu of the Southern Xiongnu to send troops south to Hedong to open up a second battlefield.

Cao Cao's troops were stretched and he was unable to rescue Hedong for a while. Finally, relying on Ma Teng, Han Sui and other generals in Kansai, he barely repelled the Bingzhou coalition forces of Gao Gan and the Southern Huns.

It's a pity that Liu Jing has newly established Jingzhou, and the prefectures and counties have not yet been fully conquered, so he can't spare his hands for the time being. Otherwise, he will lead his troops to the north, join forces with the Yuan family and senior officials, and attack Cao Cao. It will definitely be enough for Cao Cao to drink a pot.

Thinking of this, Liu Jing shook his head, Cao Cao's power was already established, and it was difficult to get rid of him. For the present plan, we should take advantage of Cao Cao's struggle with the Yuan brothers to get rid of Sun Quan as soon as possible.One day Sun Quan did not die, one day he did not dare to rest assured to go north.

In the evening, Liu Jing held a large banquet in the temple of Liqiu Township to entertain Xiangyang officials.

Liu Jing is not good at drinking, and he will go to Xiangyang tomorrow, so he didn't drink much.

On the night of Kui Ye, the people who were drunk and people dispersed, and the person who slept with Liu Jing changed from Han Ji to Wang Can.

Wang Cansu is fond of drinking, and in addition to the many years he has spent, he has achieved success in one day, so he inevitably drank a few more glasses at the banquet, and now he is seven or eight times drunk. In front of Liu Jing, he bared his chest and exposed his belly, and called him directly, which is quite disrespectful .

But Liu Jing didn't care, instead of drinking tea with candles, he talked about everything in the world.

When Wang Can heard that Liu Jing and Deng Yuan's second child was about to be born, his heart moved, and he suggested: "In the past, Zunfu and Zunjiu married each other with their fingertips, and it became a good story. Now I have a son who is three years old. He is smart and lovely. , if she is born as a daughter, how about being my royal wife?"
