In the ninth year of Jian'an (204 A.D.), Zhengdan and Liu Jing held the Zhengdan court meeting in the main hall of the state department. In addition to the civil and military officials of General Annan's mansion, and the officials of Jing and Jiaoshi's subordinates, the attendees of the meeting were Xiangyang, Nanjun, Zhangling, Nanxiang and Jiangxia in Jingzhou. , Changsha, Lingling, Wuling, Guiyang, Fangling, Shangyong, Xicheng, Jiaozhou Cangwu, Yulin, Yangzhou Yuzhang, Luling, a total of sixteen counties, all sent officials to Xiangyang to congratulate.

In addition, Jiaozhi Shixie and Guanzhong Ma Teng also sent envoys to Xiangyang to congratulate the court. Shi Xie was afraid of Liu Jing's conquest and was eager to show his favor. Ma Teng benefited from the trade and his strength increased greatly. Also normal.To Liu Jing's surprise, envoys from Liu Zhang in Yizhou and Zhang Lu in Hanzhong also came.

This matter began more than a year ago when Liu Bei fled to Yizhou.

At that time, Liu Zhang sent generals Pang Xi, Li Si and others to attack Hanzhong several times, but failed for years, and Zhang Lu finally counterattacked and entered Berkshire.

The leaders of Ba County, Du Yi, Pu Hu, Yuan Yue, etc. responded in groups. For a while, Ba County was corrupted and the situation was precarious. Liu Zhang had to divide Ba County into three and deploy defenses layer by layer. The soldiers stationed at Baishuiguan, threatened Zhang Lu's flank from the west, and then they were able to block Zhang Lu's troops in the land of Brazil.

Therefore, when Liu Zhang heard that Liu Bei had fled to Bashu and was poor, he could not help being overjoyed. He personally led his soldiers and military personnel and went out of the city ten miles to meet him.

Since Liu Bei started his army, although he has suffered more defeats and less success, he has lost many foundations and made great fortunes, but it also depends on who his opponent is.

Yuan Shu, Lu Bu, Cao Cao, Liu Jing... are all heroes in the world, and being able to compete with them just proves that Liu Bei's ability is at least much stronger than his group of wastes who can't even defeat the "rice thieves" in Hanzhong.

Liu Bei and Guan Yu were named monarchs and ministers, but they were actually brothers. Guan Yu was killed by Liu Jing. Liu Bei hated Liu Jing to the bone and couldn't sleep at night.

After meeting Liu Zhang, Liu Bei exaggerated Liu Jing's threat to the utmost, saying that he was ambitious and would see Bashu in the future, and he was willing to guard the east for Liu Zhang to prepare for Liu Jing.

Unlike Liu Biao, who was devoted to protecting the river and Han, and had no other long-term strategy, Liu Jingshen had great ambitions. He wanted to mausoleum the world. Deep into the sambal.

Dong He shook his head and said: "Shu soil has always been proud of luxury and ashamed of thrift. Marriages are ruined, and they do not hesitate to lose their families and property. If you want to correct the customs of Shu, only by being frugal and eating poor clothes and vegetables can you change the wind." For the better."

In history, when Liu Bei entered Shu, he defeated Cao's power and led tens of thousands of elite soldiers. With Jingzhou behind him, he could not listen to Liu Zhang's orders, act on his own, or even fight back.

Dong He replied calmly: "In the past, Yanzi assisted Qi, and there were endless deer and fur. Ji Wenzi met Lu, and his concubine had no clothes. Have the two sages ever been laughed at by people?"

Liu Jingdao: "Confucius said: 'Great frugality is extremely low.' Follow the sage's doctrine of the mean, don't overdo extravagance, and don't force frugality."

When the battle between Yizhou and Hanzhong resumed, Liu Jing's attitude became crucial. Both sides sent envoys to lobby Liu Jing.

Liu Bei did not live up to Liu Zhang's expectations. On the day he went north, Zhang Lu heard the news, and immediately retreated to Hanzhong.

Just at this time, Zhang Lu made another change. Liu Zhang invited Liu Bei to go to Baishuiguan, and together with the guards Yang Huai and Gao Pei, they rejected Zhang Lu. The military funds are huge.

In the land of Yizhou, the scholars and people are prosperous and the atmosphere is extravagant. Liu Zhang and Liu Bei had a banquet for more than ten days.In the end, Liu Zhang couldn't bear it anymore and offered to ask Liu Zhang to stop the banquet reluctantly.

Now, although Liu Bei has tens of thousands of soldiers, he still relies on Liu Zhang for military supplies. He dare not disobey Liu Zhang's orders, so he can only delay as much as possible until winter.

But Liu Zhang was unmoved. He has a weak personality, but he is not stupid. Now his chief enemy is Zhang Lu in Hanzhong. Didn't you deliberately provoke and ask for trouble?
Seeing Liu Zhang's indifference, Liu Bei was greatly disappointed, and sighed in his heart: "Shuzi is not enough to plan!" He had to temporarily suppress his desire for revenge against Liu Jing, and made a fuss with Liu Zhang.

After the court meeting, Liu Jing first received Liu Zhang's envoy, Jiang Yuan Chang Dong He.

Liu Zhang woke up like a dream at this time, and immediately sent an order to Liu Bei, ordering his supervisor Yang Huai and Gao Pei to send troops to attack Hanzhong immediately, hoping that Liu Bei and Zhang Lu would fight with tigers and wolves, and both would suffer.

Liu Jing then got up and came to Dong He, held his hand and said, "Deng (Zhi) Bo Miao used to avoid living in Shu, and I asked him who was the great talent of Jingchu who was also in Shu, and he recommended me. Take one step and Wang (Lian) Wenyi."

Dong He was about [-] years old, of medium stature, with a thin appearance, wearing a Ge scarf on his head, and a rough silk gown on his body, which is exactly the same as the Qing Dynasty.

Last autumn, seeing Liu Bei's kindness and virtue in Baishuiguan, buying people's hearts and growing in popularity, people with insight in Bashu felt deeply worried and reminded Liu Zhang to be vigilant against him.

From then on Liu Bei stayed in Baishuiguan, practicing martial arts to rule the army, and at the same time making friends with handsome men from all over the world. Those who were unsuccessful in Dongzhou and Shu often attached themselves to them. Within a few months, there were tens of thousands of people.

Liu Bei has no more than a hundred soldiers at the moment, and no more than a dozen generals. He has nothing left in military supplies. It can be said that he has been the most impoverished since the incident, so naturally he would not refuse Liu Zhang's request.

Liu Jing was not in a hurry to get up to greet him, but sat on the high seat and asked: "I heard that Yizhou is rich and powerful, known as Tianfu. So far? Aren’t you afraid of being laughed at by outsiders?”

After hearing this, Liu Jing sighed: "Your step is clear and strict, and you have the style of ancient sages."

Liu Jing naturally knew Dong He. He was an important minister in the early Shu Han Dynasty and was trusted by Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.

Liu Jing paused, then continued: "Last year, Wang Wenyi received a letter from Deng Bomiao and returned to Jingzhou with his family. I thought that I would be invited back soon, but I have waited so far. I often think, is it because I am short-witted?" , so unbearable to assist, so that the virtuous talents left behind refuse to return."

Dong He didn't expect Liu Jing to become so enthusiastic all of a sudden, he was a little uncomfortable, and replied: "Unlike Wang Wenyi, my ancestors were originally from Jiangzhou, Berkshire, and they moved westward a few years ago to return to their homeland. The current clan has established a family in Shu, and I have received great treatment from Liu Mu, so I declined the general's invitation."

Liu Jing didn't think so, and said bluntly: "I have served in Shu for many years, right? But I am only a small county, how can I be treated so favorably? To kill a hundred miles with one step is really overkill. If I were Liu Yizhou, I would lead my step into the prefecture. Grant the task of not being a leader, and entrust the essentials of machine balance."

As a subject, Dong He couldn't help but excuse Liu Zhang, but while he was talking, he saw disdain from all the officials in Jingzhou in the hall. Dong He was so embarrassed that he couldn't speak for a while.

It is no wonder that the officials in Jingzhou look down on Liu Zhang. Although Liu Zhang is not a lord of innocence, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a mediocre lord.
