Chapter 460 Zhao Jian
Seeing Liu Bei weeping excessively, Zhao Yun feared that he would hurt his body, so he couldn't help but persuade him, "General, please take care of yourself. Yun Chang Ruoquan knows, and I don't want to see the general so sad."

Seeing that Liu Bei didn't seem to be listening, Zhao Yun said again, "General, we are burning the ferry bridge today, and the fireworks are soaring into the sky. Brothers Shen Dan and Shen Yi in Shangyong City must have seen it. They have thousands of people. If you come to investigate, once you see that we are weak, and you are bewitched by the enemy, you may not be unruly. For the sake of safety, we need to leave this place before the arrival of the Shen brothers and avoid meeting them."

Knowing that Zhao Yun's reminder was not aimless, Liu Bei calmed down his grief for a while, and finally took a deep look at the opposite bank, as if he wanted to keep this scene in his heart forever, and secretly vowed to avenge Guan Yu's revenge in the future, and then led everyone along the water blocking road. Go south, rush to Bashan.

Things were just as Zhao Yun said, Liu Bei and his party had just left before Shen Dan and Shen Yi rushed over with their troops.

Looking at the hordes of iron cavalry on the other side, the two brothers looked at each other in shock.

Although they have thousands of people, they are actually capable of fighting, but only a thousand of them. Moreover, Shangyong's environment is closed, isolated from the world, and they seldom fight.

The cavalry on the other side were obviously elite troops, and the Shen brothers had no doubt that once the iron cavalry from the other side rushed over, they would be able to kill them all in an instant.

This elite cavalry was by no means Liu Biao's troops. Facing Liu Jing's attack, Liu Biao suffered a series of defeats and lost all his soldiers. He is now trapped in Xiangyang, and the situation is already in jeopardy.

A few days ago, Liu Biao sent someone to humbly offer generous gifts, imploring their brothers to send troops to help.Local tyrants like the Shen family, Liu Biao had never paid attention to them, but now they are asking for them. From this, we can see Liu Biao's current situation.

The two brothers Shen Dan and Shen Yi didn't have doubts for too long, following the shouting from the other side, the answer was soon revealed. It turned out that the elite cavalry on the other side were actually Liu Jing's men.

"Liu Biao is dead?"

"Liu Cong surrendered all over the state?"

"Liu Jing is in charge of Jingzhou?"

"Chasing Liu Bei all the way to this point?"

The more Shen Dan and Shen Yi heard, the more frightened they became. Although they knew that Liu Biao's situation was not good, they were far from hopeless. They thought that no matter how bad Liu Biao was, he could persist for a year or so. They didn't expect to be defeated so soon. .

To be honest, they hoped that Liu Jing and Liu Biao would stay in a stalemate, so that they could sit back and relax.Liu Jing's entry into Jingzhou was not the result they hoped to see.

Liu Biao, a Confucian, focused on protecting Jiang and Han, but had no ambitions in the four directions, so he did not annex Fangling, Shangyong and other places that were close at hand.

Liu Jing is different. He started from one city, occupied Zhang Jin in the south, and defeated Liu Biao in the north.

Now that Liu Jing is in charge of Jingzhou, as a human being, how can he allow others to snore and sleep on the side of the couch?If they still can't see the situation clearly, and want to continue to separatist regimes like before, there is only one dead end waiting for them.

The Shen brothers decided to surrender to Liu Jing with little thought.

At the same time, Liu Jing, who was in Xiangyang, saw that Xiangyang was becoming more and more stable, so he began to recruit handsome men and recruit talents to serve as the shogunate.

Zhuge Liang, Wang Can, Fu Xun and other people from the north were responsible for the recruitment of exiled northern scholars.Pang Tong, Jiang Wan, Deng Zhi and other Jingzhou people were responsible for the work of enlisting the local scholars in Jingzhou.

But not everyone can be dumped to his subordinates, some people need to be invited by Liu Jing himself, for example, Zhao Jian, a famous scholar in Guanzhong.

Zhao Jian, courtesy name Shumao, was born in Jingzhao, Guanzhong. He was upright and resourceful.

When Dong Zhuo was in power, Zhao Jian repeatedly went against his will and was almost killed.In the third year of Chuping, Situ Wangyun planned to eradicate Dong Zhuo, and was soon attacked and killed by the generals of Liangzhou.Only Zhao Jian thought he had been Wang Yun's old official, and he abandoned his official post for Wang Yun's funeral regardless of the danger.Li Jue, Guo Si and others were afraid of their reputation and did not dare to be harmed, so Zhao Jian became famous all over the world.

However, although Zhao Jian's reputation is great, he is still not as good as his uncle. His uncle is none other than Zhao Qi, a great Confucian in Guanzhong, and Zhao Binqing.

It is a pity that Zhao Qi, who lived in Xiangyang for many years, passed away last year. Liu Jing had a relationship with Zhao Qi in the past, and it is deeply regrettable that they are separated forever.However, Zhao Qi was already over 90 years old when he died, not to mention ancient times, even in modern times, he can be called a long life.

Zhao Jian didn't know that Liu Jing was coming, and he was having a banquet at home, when he suddenly received a report from a servant that Liu Jing was about to visit, he couldn't help but look surprised, the banquet couldn't go on any longer, Zhao Jian had to give up the banquet to see off the guests.

All the guests left one after another, and only one person was left by Zhao Jian. Together with Zhao's children, he went out with Zhao Jian to meet Liu Jing.

Not a moment later, Liu Jing arrived in front of Zhao Jian's mansion surrounded by many chariots and riders.

"Zhao Jian pays his respects to the general..."

Liu Jing got out of the car, helped Zhao Jian up and said, "Mr. Zhao, you don't have to be polite. If you come to the door today, don't be surprised. I've wanted to visit Mr. Zhao for a long time. Unfortunately, since I entered Xiangyang, I have so many things to do, and I didn't find time until today. "

Looking at the handsome and majestic Liu Jing, Zhao Jian felt deeply that his uncle Zhao Qi admired Liu Jing very much and hoped that he could help the country and stabilize the country in the future.

Zhao Jian remembered very clearly that Liu Jing's answer at that time was: "I dare not live up to the expectations of the elders." The words were full of conceit.

Zhao Jian was very displeased at that time, but what he didn't expect was that the conceited young man five years ago appeared in front of him again, and he had become the overlord of Jing and Jiao prefectures.

At the moment when Cao Cao has already coerced the emperor to order the princes, he didn't know that Liu Jing's rise in the south was a blessing or a curse for the country.

Zhao Jian shook his head secretly, and then introduced the person around him to Liu Jing, who was the only guest left by Zhao Jian, Dou Fu.

Liu Jing had heard about Dou Fu for a long time. His grandfather was the famous leader of the "Three Monarchs", General Dou Wu.

Back then, Dou Wu and Chen Fan tried to kill the eunuchs but failed, and their family members died. Dou Fu was only two years old at the time.In order to avoid being chased by eunuchs, Hu Teng asked Dou Fu to change his surname to Hu. It was not until a few years ago that Dou Fu was promoted by Guiyang as Xiaolian, and then his original surname was restored.

Although Dou Fu has no great talent, he can't hold back the rich political assets left by his grandfather Dou Wu.Moreover, the Fufeng Dou family is the leading wealthy surname in this dynasty. Although it has declined now, just like the Nanyang Deng family, the dead camels are bigger than horses. In Liu Jing's eyes, Dou Fu is definitely a piece of sweet pastry. cake.
