Ji Han Liu Zhang

Chapter 20 Liu He’s ambition

The residence of Jingzhou Mu.

Liu Biao looked at the first draft of "The Chapters and Verses of the Five Classics" placed in front of him, and he was not very happy.

As the shepherd of Jingzhou, he has no intention of clarifying the world's chaos regarding the current chaotic situation in Yunei. He just wants to separate Jingzhou and ensure the stability of one side.

Liu Biao, who was well-known in the world when he was young and ranked among the "Eight Talents", was particularly passionate about scriptures.Because Jingzhou was relatively stable under his rule, thousands of scholars from Guanzhong, Yan, and Henan surrendered to him. Under such circumstances, he established academic officials, solicited Confucian scholars, and widely solicited posthumous letters, so that the classics were compiled. Charged in Zhoulu.

In this rich cultural atmosphere, Liu Biao took the lead and assigned a group of Confucian scholars to delete the tedious and unnecessary content in the Five Classics and re-edit a Confucian classics textbook. After a period of hard work, Qi Wukai, Song Zhong and others compiled the first draft of the book "The Chapters and Verses of the Five Classics".

Liu Biao picked up the bamboo slip on the desk with both hands, savored it carefully, and caressed the words engraved on the bamboo slip, as if he were stroking the smooth and white body of his young and beautiful wife Cai.

The ancients proposed that there are three kinds of immortality. In the 24th year of Zuo Zhuan, Duke Xiang said: "The supreme leader has established virtues, followed by meritorious service, and then established words. Even if they are not abolished for a long time, these are called the three immortals." '

He established his reputation, wrote books and established works, and his classics were passed down to later generations.As a Confucian, Liu Biao was overjoyed about this kind of thing. This was an immortal career and achievement, enough to make him famous in the annals of history and add a good word to him.

Although the chapters and sentences in this book of the Five Classics are not perfect yet, given time and a period of refinement, they will be perfect.

Although it can't be done like Lu Buwei's Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals, changing just one word will result in a gift of a thousand pieces of gold.But Liu Biao was convinced that the "Five Classics Chapters and Verses" can still be achieved if every word is worth a hundred gold.

Just when Liu Biao wanted to savor the "Five Classics Chapters and Verses" again, an inappropriate person appeared.

"Why do you still have time to read books now? The current disputes in the four seas are the time when the dragon rises from the Central Plains and displays its grand ambitions."

Liu He, who was not riding in Jingzhou, was so proud that he said some heroic words to impress Liu Biao in front of him.

Looking at the thin face and mustache of Liu He in front of him, and the inspiring words he said, Liu Biao felt no emotion in his heart. He was thinking, how many times is this, the seventh time, or the eighth time? The other party came to the house and said such heroic words in front of him.

Liu Biao sighed inwardly. He regretted appointing Liu He as Jingzhou Biejia. He had appointed Liu He as Jingzhou Biejia because he was from the same clan and had the same surname as Liu. He did not expect Liu He to be such a restless person. From time to time, I come to motivate myself and tinker with the idea of ​​conquering the world.

How can it be so easy to compete in the Central Plains?

Liu Biao spoke up: "Don't think this is a good idea." He asked about Liu He's purpose.

"Your Majesty." Liu He persuaded with sincerity: "Don't you hear that Liu Yan died of illness and that the new pastor of Yizhou was his fourth son Liu Zhang. It was rumored that Liu Zhang was cowardly and incompetent and was not qualified to do his job. The situation in Yizhou now is such a big deal. What a great time.”

Liu He moved his emotions, raised his tone as he spoke, and walked up to Liu Biao.

How could Liu Biao not know about the news of Liu Yan's death and Liu Zhang's succession? The spies he placed in Yizhou had already heard about it.

This is also the reason why Liu Biao has been in a good mood recently. He and Liu Yan had quite a conflict. In the second year of Chuping, Liu Yan built more than a thousand chariots and uniforms in Mianzhu, which exceeded the etiquette system. He went to the imperial court to participate in the ceremony. He told Liu Yan that Liu Yan seemed to have signs of Zixia discussing the theory of saints in Xihe.

After this, Jingzhou and Yizhou turned against each other. In addition, Yizhou was located upstream of Jingzhou, so Liu Biao had to be on guard. But now it was better. The ambitious Liu Yan died of illness, and the newly appointed Liu Zhang was cowardly and incompetent, so there was no way for Xi Guzhi. Worry, there is one missing enemy.

Thinking of this, Liu Biao replied to Liu He: "Of course I know. I guess Liu Zhang will not overstep like his father. Jingzhou and Yizhou can live in harmony."

"Your Majesty." Liu He was anxious when he heard Liu Biao's words, and approached Liu Biao: "Now that Liu Zhang has arrived in Yizhou, the internal foundation is unstable. There are rice thieves Zhang Lu rebelling in the north, and various barbarians rebelling in the south. If Let you lead the army upstream, so that your prestige and fame can be easily obtained in Yizhou." When he said this, Liu He's eyes sparkled, his words were exciting, and he had the power to confuse people's hearts.

Liu Biao frowned. Didn't the guy in front of him smell like chicken tongue? A smell of bad breath assaulted his nostrils, making him want to run away.

He said: "Don't drive, please take a seat. During the period of mourning, it is not the behavior of a gentleman to attack someone else's country. Besides, Liu Zhang and I are both members of the royal family. We should work together to live in harmony and support the royal family."

Liu He was a quick thinker and had the ability of a debater. Without thinking, he did not sit down, but immediately refuted Liu Biao's words: "Your Majesty, in an emergency, you should do extraordinary things. Liu Zhang, my son, can sit safely in Yizhou. Sooner or later, I will do something for you." Others get it. Now that you are a member of the royal family, you are the king's territory in the world. If you take Yizhou, others can't gossip. If you have any doubts, others may take advantage of it. "

Seeing that Liu Biao was still reluctant, Liu He decided to increase the dosage of the medicine and continued: "If you get Yizhou, Jingzhou will not have to worry about going west. Moreover, Yizhou is rich, with a household registration of one million, and four troops. You must have it, you don’t need to ask for treasures from outside, this is the treasure of an emperor.”

"If you can cross the two states of Jing and Yi, and send another army to conquer Jiangdong, half of the world will be in your hands."

"As a royal family member, your virtuous reputation is known all over the world. Since you have half the world, you have peace with the Rong in the west, and you are pacifying the Yiyue in the south. You are cultivating political principles in your country, and you are raising horses and soldiers. When there is a change in the world, I will send an army out of Qinchuan. I have led an army to march toward Wan and Luo, and who among the people dares not to eat pots of slurry in order to welcome the envoy?"

"As it is, I will be able to conquer the Central Plains, revive the Han Dynasty, purge thousands of miles, and rectify the eight wastelands. After a long life, I can be the ancestor of the Han Dynasty."

The more Liu He talked, the more excited he became. At this moment, he seemed to be transformed into Zhang Yi and Su Qin, stirring up the world with his words, and drawing a magnificent blueprint with a bright future for Liu Biao.

But Liu Biao was so bored that he didn't even bother to click his eyelids. Next time, he thought that the people who came to him must put chicken tongue in their mouths at the door before talking to him. This Liu He's mouth was really smelly.

He said perfunctorily: "Don't drive, this is not easy, let me think deeply."

For Liu Biao, it was enough to sit in Jingzhou. He had no idea about Yizhou. Having someone like Liu Zhang upstream was just what he wanted, allowing him to study classics in Jingzhou safely and conquer Yizhou without even thinking about it. His old bones can't stand the torture.

Hearing Liu Biao's words, Liu He knew that Liu Biao was perfunctory with him, so he decided to recommend himself: "I am willing to serve as your envoy, ride west alone, follow the example of Zhang Yi and Su Qin, make friends with the heroes of Shu, and shake Bashu for your envoy."

"He Ke issued a military order. Even if he cannot capture the entire Yizhou, he should still persuade the heroes of Badi to defect to the envoy and divide Yizhou."

'This Liu He is really disgusting. Isn't it good to be safe? Liu Biao cursed in his heart, "It's better to end grievances than to dissolve them. I'm afraid that I won't be able to win Shu, but will provoke Shu soldiers."

Yizhou occupies a favorable situation in the upper reaches of Jingzhou. Going down the river, if the wind is favorable, it will only take one day to reach the foot of Jiangling City.

Even though Liu Zhang was weak and the Shu army was not strong, Liu Biao still had some understanding of the strength of Jingzhou's army and horses. Jingzhou and Yizhou were probably evenly matched opponents.

But seeing Liu He's determination, if he didn't give him an explanation today, he was afraid that he wouldn't leave. Liu Biao made up his mind and said, "Don't have such great ambitions, how can I not be tempted? In that case, please don't The driver is the vanguard, and I will rectify the troops and horses, reward and lead the soldiers, and provide backup for other drivers."

Liu He was overjoyed when he heard this. He took a few steps back and bowed down: "He accepts the order."

"If the work fails, I will never see you again."
