Chapter 830 Liu Biao's Anger

"Pray for an order openly?" In the Weiyang Palace in Chang'an City, the young emperor sat cross-legged and saw this plain text memorial sent from Yizhou, with a stern killing intent in his heart: "Liu Yan's rebellion is a fact. However, Mu Longtu is now asking for his son to be the head of Yizhou, has he ever thought about the court's feelings?"

Even if Yizhou Mu asked Mujing to take it personally, there was no written request for the saber, which made him even more embarrassed.

Although Liu Yan's proclaiming emperor did not have a big impact, it was definitely an unpredictable blow to the court, and even destroyed the court's orthodox position.

One person turned the other way today.

Tomorrow someone else will follow suit.

In addition, Liu Yan is still a clan member, and the clan's rebellion is a bigger blow to the orthodoxy of the imperial court in name. Are you ready to inherit the throne?
So Liu Yan's lineage, he must kill.

The second son of Liu Yan, even Liu Fan, the general guarding the court, who he relied on, was pushed out of the Meridian Gate and beheaded when the news of Liu Yan's enthronement and rebellion came, just to defend his orthodox position as the emperor.

But now, although Liu Yan is dead, Mu Jing has pushed Liu Zhang into a public position, what does this mean.

"Your Majesty, Marquis Ming openly asked for an order, even if he shouldn't now, I'm afraid it won't work!"

Wang Yun said in a low voice: "Yizhou has deviated from the imperial court's control. To the imperial court's will, it is to accept the order and not respect it. That is to say, no matter whether we agree or not, Liu Zhang will be pushed to the position of Yizhou pastor!"

"Can I just bear it like this?"

Liu Xie asked coldly.

"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Huaiyin can bear the humiliation of his crotch, and the great ancestor can endure breaking the plank road and never retreating, and he will eventually achieve great things. Now the situation is not as good as the people, and the imperial power has declined. Your Majesty needs to be patient!" Wang Yun cupped his hands: "One day, Your Majesty will be in charge. Qiankun, how unfair the world is!"

"I hope there will be such a day!"

Liu Xie clenched his fists and said quietly.

After sitting in this position, he felt like a bound puppet, even more aggrieved than his elder brother Liu Bian. Liu Bian still had a Queen Mother He planning for him. Feeding bears, finally got the support of Mu Shan, even if Mu Shan's power was lost to the court, but in the court, after all, he would give the emperor a bit of a face and let him maintain the glory of the emperor.

However, in the current Chang'an court, Dong Zhuo is domineering, even if he is above the court, he no longer gives him three points of face. He is like a puppet being manipulated, and he is always in fear.

Because he didn't know when Dong Zhuo would attack him.

"Your Majesty, the luck of the great man is still there. You don't have to worry. I have already contacted Cai Shangshu. If I can lead Yizhou soldiers to the north, they will lose both. If you return to the Guanzhong Army, the overall situation will be established!"

Wang Yun said in a low voice: "But before that, I'm afraid His Majesty still needs to be patient. I believe that His Majesty's patience will not be fruitless. The Son of Heaven will always be the Son of Heaven. God's will is bestowed by God, which cannot be touched by humans!"

"Is Cai Shangshu's heart still with us big men?"

Liu Xie squinted his eyes, and asked gloomyly.

As for Cai Yong, he no longer dared to trust him, because Cai Yong was Mujing's Taishan, and he didn't know that they were of one mind.

"I believe that Cai Shangshu is in Muying and his heart is in Han!"

Wang Yun said.

An old friend for many years, he did not doubt that Cai Yong was a loyal minister to the Han Dynasty, this is a different way.

................................................

"Mulongtu actually let a brat take over the state shepherd's position?" In Jiangling City, Liu Biao looked at the news from Xichuan with a gloomy look in his eyes.

"My lord, this is his brilliance!"

Kuai Liang said with a wry smile: "I thought he was young and energetic, and once he gained power, he would never favor a child over his own head, but I didn't expect that he would promote Liu Zhang to the state shepherd without hesitation. The location, Yizhou Keping also!"

He had to admit that he underestimated Mujing too much. The most powerful thing about Mujing was not his city government and schemes, but his mentality. He was at the age of a weak crown, but he had the stability of a year of knowing his destiny, which is rare in the world. .

The more this happened, the more worried he was that this neighbor might be more fearful than Liu Yan. Liu Yan is good at governance, and it is okay to defend a place, but not enough to attack a place. If there was no help from the Mu army, the Yizhou army would not be able to break in. .

The Mu army's attack is as fierce as a tiger. If Mu Jing is allowed to stabilize Yizhou, I am afraid that Jingzhou will inevitably suffer from war in the future.

"Even if Mu Jing pushes that Huangkou boy to the position of Yizhou Mu, I am afraid that Yizhou will not be integrated for a while. Let's send troops to take back the counties in Jingzhou!"

Liu Biao was also aware of this, and his expression was tenacious. Even though he was defeated, he did not lose his confidence in being able to hold Jingzhou down. He said in a deep voice, "This battle in Jingzhou is a disaster for no reason, but it also gave us A warning, Jingzhou is not a land of peace, the rich Jingzhou needs to garrison troops to fight, if the enemy invades in the future, we must fight to the death, if we can't defend the safety of the people, what use are we!"

"That's what the lord said!"

Kuai Liang also nodded.

At this point, he also saw clearly that the battle of Jingzhou was caused by the civil strife in Yizhou, but what he didn't expect was that Liu Yan and Mu Jing would be placed in Jingzhou because of the contest for Yizhou.

They have suffered an indiscriminate disaster.

This disaster was a great blow to them. Jingzhou has fertile land, a large population, and a strong state power. The enemy, one defeat after another, lost the hearts of the people.

So they had to change their strategy of governing Jingzhou.

"We really should go to rectify our armaments!"

Kuai Liang clasped his hands and said: "Jingzhou is not without generals, but we in Jingzhou use literature to overcome military affairs. This is a taboo in troubled times. The literati are good at governance, and the warriors can fight. Each performs his duties, which is the right way!"

"En!" Liu Biao said in a deep voice, "We had an alliance with Mulongtu first, he won Yizhou, and we took Jingzhou back, so he is an ally. Now that he has withdrawn from Jingzhou City, he can be regarded as obeying the oath of the alliance, but it cannot be guaranteed. People don't backtrack on what they say they say, so we must be quick and order Huang Zu, Wen Pin, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, and other generals to lead their troops and take back Nanjun and Wuling first!"

"promise!"

Soon someone will send the order.

The Jingzhou army attacked quickly, the main force of the Mu army had retreated, and Nanjun and Wuling were empty. They drove straight in and quickly recaptured the city of Jingzhou, but they encountered a counterattack in the north.

Yicheng, the gateway city to the south of Xiangyang.

After Huang Zu led the army to occupy Huarong and other counties, he led the vanguard of [-] troops to the north. He thought it was an easy city to take back, but was ambushed and suffered heavy damage. Weibing retreated from Lulin Mountain and immediately sent the news back to Jiangling City .

"What, Yicheng encountered an ambush, and Huang Zu lost thousands of troops?"

Liu Biao has regained some vitality these days. As long as he takes back the entire territory of Jingzhou, he will still be the high-spirited Jingzhou state shepherd. The news that came from the north couldn't be held back, and they immediately complained: "What do they mean by this? Are they going to tear up the covenant? If he reneges on his plan of animal husbandry, isn't he afraid of being ridiculed by the world?"

"My lord, I'm afraid this matter is not that simple. Yicheng is the south gate of Xiangyang. They guard Yicheng, so they plan not to bring Xiangyang back!"

Kuai Liang also thought that this matter is not so easy.

It's just that he didn't expect that Mu Jing hadn't gained a firm foothold in Yizhou now, would he have the guts to turn against them in Jingzhou? It can disrupt his layout in Yizhou.

Kuai Liang looked at the captain who came to report, and asked, "Which army is guarding Yicheng?"

"do not know!"

The school lieutenant under Huang Zu shook his head: "It should be a new banner, Hou!"

"Hou?"

Kuai Liang narrowed his eyes: "Hou Qing?"

"Hou Qing, the prefect of Nanyang under the command of Minghou Mansion in the past?" Liu Biao clenched his fists.

"My lord, you need to be cautious about this matter. If you are not careful, it will trigger another war between us and Mulongtu!"

"Go to the post station, pass on the Iraqi nationality!"

Liu Biao said coldly: "I really want to see what answer he can give a certain one!"

"Liu Shijun, don't disturb and get angry!"

Yiji came here very quickly, he had already received a summons from the Jingwu Division, he already understood the matter, and he had prepared a plan in his heart, saying: "All the soldiers under my Minghou Mansion have withdrawn from the territory of Jingzhou. I have nothing to do with the Marquis Mansion!"

"It has nothing to do with you?" Liu Biao widened his eyes and said coldly, "You are talking nonsense with your eyes open. The leader is Hou Qing. This is an official under the command of the Marquis of Ming Dynasty. How do you explain it?"

"I also just got the news that that fellow Hou Qing, because he refused to accept the lord's withdrawal of troops, openly rebelled. The lord has ordered him to be removed from the roster. From then on, he is no longer a member of our Minghou mansion. In the future, life and death will be related to my Minghou." Fuwuguan!"

Yiji smiled and said: "My lord, I am asking you, if you attack Yicheng and take back the soldiers, do you have a battle flag for my Minghou Mansion?"

"this?"

Liu Biao narrowed his eyes.

"My lord, the news has come that the soldiers in Yicheng have not erected any flags!"

A counselor walked up to his ear and replied.

"So, it's not a soldier of your Minghou Mansion. If I send troops to attack him, killing him has nothing to do with the city, and it has nothing to do with you!" Liu Biao naturally wouldn't believe these things, so he forced Yiji, and said in a cold voice: "You can guarantee that Mu Jun won't interfere!"

How many soldiers and horses can Hou Qing have?

If he dispatches the main force to go north, he will regain Xiangyang in minutes.

"Of course!"

Yiji nodded and said: "In the troubled times, bandits and bandits come and go, such a traitor, if we can't let go of our hands and feet now, and our troops are all concentrated in Yizhou, we should clean up the house immediately. Since he left our Minghou Mansion, he will die It has nothing to do with my Minghou Mansion!"

But he sneered in his heart, attack if you have the ability, then don't blame us for being cruel.

Nanjun wants to pay back.

Wuling will also withdraw.

Because this is the price they paid for obtaining Yizhou, it is impossible to openly see through Liu Biao while stabilizing the interior of Yizhou at this time, but they do not plan to return Xiangyang City.

So Chen Gonghou Qing put forward a rogue plan, which was quickly recognized by the Minghou Mansion. Hou Qing left the Minghou Mansion to stand on his own. If Liu Biao wanted to see through his face, he had to produce evidence.

Of course, if he wants to forcibly mobilize troops to conquer, that's fine, but at least he has to risk another war with the Mu army. At this time, it depends on how Liu Biao makes his choice.

"My lord, news just came that tens of thousands of soldiers from the Violent Bear Army, the main force of the Shepherd Army, suddenly marched north from Yufu. They have already stationed troops on the border of the western border of Nanjun County. It is less than three hundred miles away from Fancheng. They can reach Xiangyang in a few days. Enter my Jingzhou territory!"

A scout scout came from outside and reported.

When Liu Biao heard this, a wave of anger rose in his heart. This is a threat, a threat from Chi Guoguo.

He stared at Yiji.

But Yiji didn't care at all, shrugging his shoulders lightly, with a neither humble nor overbearing expression, as if he didn't feel his anger at all.

"What do you Mujun mean?" Liu Biao gritted his teeth and asked.

"Perform martial arts normally!"

Yiji gave a very official answer: "Now Yizhou is not peaceful, and it is normal for us to raise our troops, and we have not crossed Jingzhou half a step. Lord Shijun, you have to trust our lord, Now that you have made a covenant, you must abide by it!"
