Fantasy Three Kingdoms: Four knots in Taoyuan at the beginning

Chapter 78 076, Nanyang Yellow Turban

People asked Liu Bei to accept Liu Feng as his adopted son, which was more of a political purpose, to win over the entire four counties in Jingnan.

After all, the place in front of me is Changsha Kingdom, and the influence of Liu Fa's lineage on the four Jingnan counties can be said to be deep-rooted. As long as they can win over the Changsha King's lineage, they can take over the Jingnan four counties.

The above is the current situation in the seven counties of Jingzhou. Nanyang County, Jiangxia County and Nan County each have prefects, but the most powerful ones are the local tyrants.

In fact, the four counties in Jingnan had to deal with the lineage of Changsha King Liu Fa. As long as they could be settled, it would not be difficult for the prefects of the four counties.

It's just that they're not the ones to mess with.

Even if the prefects of the various counties want to subdue it, it is not an easy matter. The prefects of the seven counties are not ordinary people.

Therefore, Liu Bei, the shepherd of Jingzhou, is not so easy to do.

Of course, if Liu Bei wants to be like Liu Biao in history and is willing to rule Jingzhou together with the powerful Jingzhou, then it is still very easy to do.

Just with Hao Qiang, the Sweeping Zong thief can almost move the four counties of Nanjun and Jingnan to the south.

As for Jiang Xia and Nanyang, it can only be said that they are under superficial control.

It may be impossible to actually control it.

In history, Liu Biao actually controlled the bases of Nanjun and Jingnan four counties. Jiangxia was basically under the control of Huang Zu. Nanyang first had Yuan Shu, then Zhang Xiu, and was later taken away by Cao Cao.

It was only after Huang Zu died that Liu Biao took Jiang Xia down.

As for Nanyang, it has been floating outside.

Otherwise, Liu Biao would not have placed Liu Bei in Xinye after accepting Liu Bei.

There are three purposes, one is to resist the threat from the north, the other is to check and balance Nanyang, and the third is to prevent Liu Bei from taking his own Jingzhou.

After listening to Jian Yong's introduction, the hall was a little quiet, and everyone was digesting and absorbing the news.

Then think about how to regain the real power from the powerful and these prefects.

Liu Bei now has [-] soldiers, but he is not without soldiers.

For example, Qin Jie, the prefect of Nanyang, is a ruthless guy who has made great achievements in suppressing the Yellow Turbans. He has a lot of troops.

And there is another problem, that is, Wancheng at this time is occupied by the Yellow Turban.

Let me talk about it here, Nanyang Yellow Turban.

In the beginning, the leader of the Nanyang Yellow Turban was Zhang Mancheng. This guy called himself "the envoy of the gods", and there were tens of thousands of them. He killed the county governor Chu Gong and spent more than a hundred days in the village.

Therefore, Qin Jie moved from the captain of Jiangxia to the prefect of Nanyang.

Huangfusong and Zhu Junjùn launched the battle of Changshe in May, and Qin Jie killed Zhang Mancheng in June.

However, the Nanyang Yellow Turban Army did not just fall down and disperse. Zhao Hong became the new Qu Commander, and the size of his troops became larger and larger. They gathered more than [-] people to occupy Wancheng.

This scale is beyond Qin Jie's ability to solve, so when he learned that Liu Bei had taken up the post of Jingzhou Mu.

Immediately, a distress letter was sent, and he wanted to join forces with Liu Bei to besiege Wancheng.

The distress document was sent to Jiangling's former governor's office in Jingzhou, and was brought here by Jian Yong.

Leaving aside the question of how to seize the power of Jingzhou, the first test question for Liu Bei Group came.

That is whether to agree to Qin Jie's call for help, and if you agree to send how many soldiers, who will lead the soldiers.

Also, if the Nanyang Yellow Turban is pacified, will it take over the power of Nanyang?

To take back the power of Nanyang, Qin Jie is a person who cannot be bypassed.

Liu Bei looked at everyone: "Everyone, in the current situation, can you teach me a good strategy?"

Chen Yuan had already thought about it at this time. He originally wanted to leave Qin Jie alone, because according to historical records, Qin Jie did not finally pacify Nanyang.

Died in the rebellion of Jiangxia soldier Zhao Ci. In the end, Yang Xu, the big boss, came and joined hands with Jingzhou governor Wang Min to solve the Nanyang Yellow Turban.

In fact, the turmoil in Nanyang is good for Liu Bei, because it can weaken the power of Nanyang, and it will be beneficial for Liu Bei to control Nanyang in the future.

But when Chen Yuan came up with this idea, a clear current flowed through his mind, which made Chen Yuan wake up suddenly.

The Nanyang Yellow Turban can weaken Nanyang's power, but it also displaces ordinary people and greatly reduces the population of Nanyang. Moreover, if Qin Jie's call for help is not agreed, he will lose the trust and favor of Qin Jie, the prefect of Nanyang.

No matter how you say it, Qin Jie is a capable minister, the kind of official who is capable of writing and martial arts. If Liu Bei can take Qin Jie under his command, it will definitely be of great help to control Nanyang.

Therefore, Qin Jie must be saved, not only for the sake of such a capable minister, but also for the common people of Nanyang.

It's just that Chen Yuan had some calculations in his mind, but he didn't open his mouth. He wanted to see what other people thought.

As the most important minister under Liu Bei, Chen Yuan's status has been established, and he must give others a chance to perform.

After thinking about it for a while, Xi Zhicai said firmly, "My lord, in my opinion, Nanyang must be saved for three reasons. One is fame, the other is righteousness, and the third is profit."

"Why?"

"The lord is the shepherd of Jingzhou, Nanyang belongs to Jingzhou, and the prefect of Qin is also your subordinate in name. The suppression of the Yellow Turban is what the lord should have intended, so there is no reason not to be saved. Besides, the Yellow Turban disturbs the place and the people are displaced. It is for the people. , for the sake of the country, the lord should also send troops."

Liu Bei nodded.

What Xi Zhicai said was right, no matter where he said it, he was saved.

Gu Yong added: "Now the lord has not collected the power of Jingzhou, rescue the prefect of Qin, and show military power, it will also deter the prefects of other counties, and it can also express the lord's love for his subordinates."

Liu Bei continued to nod, Gu Yong was right.

Then he looked at Chen Yuan: "Zi Chu, what's your opinion?"

Chen Yuan was very happy in his heart. Gu Yong and Xi Zhicai are worthy of being famous talents in history, and they have considered everything comprehensively.

But there is one more thing that they didn't think of.

Chen Yuan first praised: "What Zhicai and Yuan Tan said is very true. There is no harm in sending troops, but there is one more thing we need to consider, that is, sending troops will make the court and the emperor feel that the lord understands righteousness. It's not the Jingzhou Mu of Jingzhou, but the Jingzhou Mu of the imperial court, everyone should know that Nanyang is not far from Luoyang."

As soon as Chen Yuan said this, everyone suddenly realized.

That's right, Nanyang is not far from Luoyang, it can be said to be very close. Now Nanyang is plagued by yellow scarves. As Jingzhou shepherd, you, Liu Bei, don't want to wipe them out as soon as possible. What do you want to do?
Aren't you afraid that the Yellow Turbans from Nanyang will spread to Luoyang?

Liu Bei directly made a decision: "Nanyang must be saved, but how to save it, do you have a plan?"

After all, there are 10,000+ yellow scarves in Nanyang, but now Liu Bei only has 2 soldiers, and Qin Jie will not exceed 1, because the Nanyang prefect has only [-] troops.

So, how to fight becomes a problem.
