Chapter 97 Purpose

The emperor was too far away from Changsha, and the only connection between Sun Ce and Changsha in the future was that he was posthumously named King Huan of Changsha after his death.

Compared with the outside world, Liu Jing paid more attention to what was in front of him. In mid-February, his brother Liu Zong felt more and more pressure, and decided not to procrastinate. People and horses.

Liu Zong is the number one hero in Changsha, and he has nearly [-] disciples. Together with his family's younger brother Kun and his followers, the number has exceeded [-] in one fell swoop.Then he raised his arm and shouted, and Changsha was instantly boiling. Rangers and villains all scrambled to cling to each other with swords and swords, making the number of their subordinates swell to more than [-] people.

Liu Zong divided 800 people into the left and right groups, with his confidants Chen Jin and Huang Wu as the directors of the left and right groups.There are more than [-] cavalry soldiers, and Liu Zong leads them himself.

After the number of people was ready, Liu Zong immediately purchased weapons for his subordinates, such as knives, spears, halberds, and crossbows.

The only regret is that they can't buy armor and armor. Changsha, even Lingling and Guiyang, whether it is iron armor or leather armor, can only have it with Zhang Xian's consent.

Armor and armor are the "heavy weapons of the military". Zhang Xian's own trilogy and county soldiers are not enough. For a "private soldier" like Liu Zong, it is tantamount to a dream to equip armor and armor on a large scale.Fortunately, you can't buy armor and armor, but there is no restriction on the dou hou, which is the helmet. Liu Zong also bought large scorpions and hook inlays for his subordinates, which are enough for self-defense.

Seeing that Liu Zong was on the right track, Liu Jing felt that it was time for him to act. At the end of February, he invited Cai Sheng to a banquet at Zuixiangju, accompanied by Ma Zhou, Liu Zhu, and Liu Liang.

Cai Sheng hadn't arrived yet, Ma Zhou was very bored sitting in the room and couldn't help asking: "Liu Jun, why are you so solemn today?"

Based on the friendship between Liu Jing and Cai Sheng, there is no need to be too polite at all. If there is anything to do, he is very curious about Liu Jing's special dinner for Cai Sheng today.

Liu Jing replied: "Of course there are important things to discuss." In fact, Ma Zhou is also one of the candidates in his heart. Unfortunately, Ma Zhou is a foreigner and his reputation is slightly less, but these are nothing, the real problem. The relationship between the two is too close. Winning for him the post of Sima in another department will definitely arouse Zhang Xian's vigilance and vigilance. Therefore, after careful consideration, Liu Jing can only give up Ma Zhou and choose Cai Sheng.

Ma Zhou was even more curious when he heard that, Liu Jing was so tucked away, refusing to speak out, causing him to scratch his head.

At this moment, footsteps sounded outside. From far to near, Ma Zhou immediately got up and looked out the door. Sure enough, he saw Cai Sheng, who was wearing a lacquer gauze and a black crown, and a white coat that beat the snow, and walked following the maid.

Ma Zhou did not wait for Cai Sheng to enter the door, and then complained: "Hongchao, you made us wait so hard."

Cai Sheng raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, walked in and said, "Now there is at least a quarter of an hour before the agreed time..."

Liu Jing pulled Cai Sheng to a position beside him, and said with a smile, "Don't listen to Zijin's nonsense, we just arrived soon."

Liu Zhu and Liu Liang often followed Cai Shengxuejian on weekdays, so they were very respectful.

Cai Shengchong nodded and turned his eyes back to Liu Jing. He was also curious about the purpose of Liu Jing's banquet this time. "

While ordering the maid to serve the food and drinks, Liu Jing said slowly, "Hongchao, you must have heard a lot about Wu Chenghou's eldest son Bofu recently, right?"

Cai Sheng nodded and said, "Who else in Changsha doesn't know his name? Sun Bofu follows the bravery of Marquis Wucheng, and now leads a group of people across the river into the east of the Yangtze River.

Ma Zhou's blood boiled when he heard it, and he slammed the food case with his hands, and sighed, "That's what a man should be!"

Liu Jing said with emotion: "Sun Bofu ended his filial piety at the age of 19 and went to Yuan Shu. Since then, he has been a soldier, and now he is only 22 years old-Hong Chao, you are also [-] this year. Do you have any plans for the future?"

Cai Sheng was stunned when he heard it, then shook his head for a while and said, "I don't have any plans for the time being."

"Last year, Hongchao showed me his aspirations. He hated that he was too young to be driven, and that he failed to follow Sun Wen to go to the Central Plains in Taipei, crusade the country's thieves, and made achievements. It is still vivid in my mind."

Liu Jing eloquently said: "Recently, my brother Liu Boxi was appointed by the government as the Sima of the other divisions. In ten days, he gathered a thousand people, and his majesty is more than a thousand times stronger than the previous ranger? I thought it was a Good way out, Hongchao, what do you think?"

All the people present changed their color, this is already clear, but even so, Cai Sheng still felt unbelievable, and asked, "What does Liu Jun mean...?"

Liu Jinghan smiled and said: "Hongchao, you are also a famous hero in Changsha, why can't you emulate my brother Liu Boxi? If you want to go to the military, I will run for you. I want to use my thin face to help you. It shouldn't be a problem for you to ask for the post of Sima of a certain ministry."

Cai Sheng stared at Liu Jing, speechless for a long time. Ma Zhou suddenly jumped up from his seat and urged, "Hongchao, what are you still doing? Why don't you thank Liu Jun quickly?"

Cai Sheng finally came back to his senses, bowed deeply, and said earnestly: "I, Cai Sheng, remember the kindness of Liu Jun's support today, and I will repay it with death in the future."

Liu Jing raised Cai Sheng with a smile and said, "It's not necessary for you and me to have a relationship." Seeing Ma Zhou's envious look, Liu Jing said, "Zijin, if you also want to go to the military, you can join Hongchao in the future. "

Ma Zhou frowned and said with disdain, "I won't go under Hong Chao's command and be instructed by him."

Cai Sheng laughed at Liu Jing and said, "In the past, we used to meet each other and talk. Zijin always said that in the future, he will be a general and take me as the vanguard. We will be invincible and invincible."

Liu Jing rubbed his palms and smiled: "The ancestors of the world said: 'If there is a will, things will come true.' Zijin's heart is so high, there will be a day of expansion in the future."

After hearing this, Ma Zhou couldn't help but say with joy: "The one who knows me is Liu Jun."

Unlike Liu Liang, who showed his personality, Liu Zhu was quite a man of the city, and it was difficult to see his true emotions on his face. Liu Jing asked him, "Wenxiu, what's on your mind?"

Liu Zhu replied: "Everything depends on Liu Jun."

Liu Jingting head said: "I have other arrangements for you."

"No." Liu Zhu bowed in response.

Soon, wine and dishes came up one after another. Because it was Liu Jing's business, Zuixiangju was very different from the current liquor store. Meat, fish, vegetables and fruits were readily available, and two chefs with excellent craftsmanship made delicious dishes, which were widely praised. .

Cai Sheng was happy in his heart, and toasted Liu Jing again and again, often drinking until the glass was dry.

Ma Zhou is addicted to alcohol, and has "gas" in his heart. He soon fights with Cai Sheng for drinking. Cai Sheng is not to be outdone, and both of them are drunk.
