Ji Han Da Sima

Chapter 16
When the discussion was over, Yi Ji left in a hurry, preparing to send someone to inform Liu Bei, so as not to know about it temporarily and not know how to deal with the matter.

In the process, Yi Ji met Wang Can, and the two had an awkward smile.They received Liu Biao's salary, but they informed Liu Bei and Huo Jun. Their nature was to cheat others.

The two tacitly asked their letters to be delivered to Liu Bei and Huo Jun respectively.

On the way back to the army, Huo Jun had received a letter from Wang Can and learned that he would be declared to join the army.

"Join the army!" Liu Bei knew this and hurried over with his confidants. He was shocked and angry and said, "Liu Jingsheng actually said you wanted to join the army. How could he do this?"

Liu Bei was quite angry and paced back and forth in the tent.The great talent he had finally hired was about to be poached before his hands were even warmed.Just like the goddess that I finally pursued, but before I could get intimate with her, this goddess was snatched away by other men. Anyone else would be angry.

Huo Jun was speechless. At the moment, he was thinking about how to use this matter to become a strategic aid.In my own imagination, let Liu Bei come forward to complete those things.But if you enter Xiangyang yourself, you may be able to cooperate with Liu Bei and complete this matter better.Not as good as...

"If Bei doesn't reject Liu Jingsheng on Zhongmiao's behalf, Zhongmiao has already taken up a position under me." Liu Bei said.

Xu Shu frowned and said: "My lord, Zhongmiao has the post of mayor of Maicheng City. He should be under the jurisdiction of Liu Jingzhou. If my lord refuses the letter, I am afraid he will have a grudge with Liu Jingzhou, which will be detrimental to the overall situation."

Huo Jun is not a blank slate. He previously served as the mayor of Maicheng and was part of the Jingzhou official system.Liu Biao's appointment and dismissal of Huo Jun completely complied with the procedures.If Liu Bei forced Huo Jun to stay, he would definitely fall out with Liu Biao.

After hearing this, the angry Liu Bei turned silent. Liu Biao seemed to be a polite and virtuous corporal, but in fact he had a suspicious temperament.For example, Han Ji did not want to be summoned by Liu Biao, but was resented by Liu Biao. Han Ji had no choice but to become an official, and was assigned a minor official position as the county magistrate.Or maybe the famous scholar Liu Wangzhi was killed by Liu Biao because of his admonishment.

Huo Jun may not be an important person in his eyes at the moment, but if he rejects him, Liu Biao, who will lose face, will be very angry, which will lead to the deterioration of the relationship between the two.

Zhang Fei was so angry that he said: "If Zhong Miao leaves, how can we plan for Jiangdong? The old traitor Liu Jingsheng is really hateful."

After the tea stove confrontation, Liu Bei introduced Huo Jun to his subordinates and prepared for the implementation of the strategy of going south to Jiangdong.As a member of the inner circle, Zhang Fei had long had expectations for Jiangdong's strategy.Huo Jun is the mastermind of the aggressive Jiangdong strategy. If he leaves, who can replace him?
After calming down, Liu Bei sat down and said in a low tone: "Zhong Miao can make his own decision. If he wants to stay under his tent, he has nothing to fear even if he has a grudge against Liu Jingsheng. If Zhong Miao falls under Liu Jingsheng's tent, Bei will also It’s doable.”

Zhang Fei was about to speak, but Liu Bei stopped him, leaving Huo Jun a quiet place to think.

After a long silence, Huo Jun laughed easily and said: "Not to mention the position of joining the army, even if Liu Jingsheng proposed that I be the prefect, Jun would not be moved. Jun was just worried that if the relationship between Ming Gong and Liu Jingsheng deteriorated, there would be It is not conducive to the plan to go south to Jiangdong."

"Zhongmiao?" Liu Bei called softly.

Huo Jun thought about it for a while and said: "After thinking about it, Jun must have a plan that will not only allow Duke Ming to go south to Jiangdong, but also prevent Duke Ming from enmity with Liu Jingsheng."

Liu Bei was happy when he heard Huo Jun say: "The difficulty of going to Jiangdong is that Liu Jingzhou sends troops, and the eldest son wants to build a reputation. Jun entered Xiangyang, surrendered to the eldest son's account, and persuaded the eldest son to contribute to Jiangdong, and Ming Gong can also Make friends with the eldest son, and we will go to Jiangdong together in the name of helping each other."

Huo Jun and Liu Bei planned the strategy of going to Jiangdong, mainly based on borrowing.It is necessary to let Jingzhou send troops and Liu Bei can use his strength to advance Jiangdong.After conquering Jiangdong, how to cut the spoils is another matter.

Hearing this, Liu Bei frowned slightly and said, "This strategy is to take advantage of Bo Wei (Liu Qi's character)."

Although Liu Qi's ability is mediocre, he has a kind and filial temperament.Since Liu Bei entered Xiangyang, he still had a good impression of the eldest son, so he could only temporarily use Liu Qi for his great cause.

If Huo Jun's new plan is followed at the moment, Huo Jun will join the army and serve Liu Qi.Similarly, Liu Bei became friendly with Liu Qi as a non-subordinate.With the cooperation of the two, at the right time, Liu Qi was persuaded to go to Jiangdong to complete the plan of borrowing chickens to lay eggs.

"The eldest son is a good man. After his success, the lord can treat him well." Xu Shu suggested.

"Exactly!" Huo Jun cupped his hands and said, "Those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters. Jun has been favored by Duke Ming and is able to plan Jiangdong. He will definitely repay Duke Ming's trust with success."

In fact, Huo Jun admired Liu Bei's courage when it came to advancing Jiangdong.After all, not everyone can believe their own words and trust their own strategies.

Liu Bei sighed melancholy and said, "If this is the case, it would be wrong for Zhongmiao to do what Su Qin and Zhang Yi did."

At the moment, Liu Bei is not ashamed of his shameful methods, but he hates that he has a weak foundation. Not only does he run around, but he also allows his subordinates to use arbitrary methods.But Liu Biao's occupation of Jingzhou was useless. If he had a foundation, how could he avoid the territory to protect himself?Zhang Fei was happy to see that the matter was resolved, and said: "Zhong Miao has many tricks, but Fei underestimated them. I invited Zhong Miao to drink."

Guan Yu changed his mind about Huo Jun again. He didn't expect that Huo Jun was willing to put in so much effort for his side, openly working for Liu Biao, and secretly working for his elder brother.

Compared to others, Huo Jun didn't think so much. He was already thinking about how to stir up the situation after entering Xiangyang, triggering a dispute between the elder and the younger, and use various internal and external conditions to complete the strategy of going to Jiangdong.

In terms of external factors, the most critical thing is how to use Sun Quan to attack Huang Zu and make Liu Biao believe that Jiangdong wants to invade his territory, so he is willing to fight back.

Then when will Sun Quan attack Huang Zu?
In Huo Jun's memory, before the Battle of Chibi, Sun Quan attacked Jiangxia at least twice, gradually occupying counties and counties, Gan and Ning surrendered to Wu, Huang Zu was killed, and finally Liu Qi left Jiangxia.So judging from the time analysis, perhaps it was not far away from Sun Quan's first attack on Huang Zu.

As for the internal reason, he wanted to become Liu Qi's trusted person and persuade Liu Qi to send troops out of Jiangdong to build his reputation.

Huo Jun thought for a while and said: "Since Ming Gong came to Xiangyang, he has always been on good terms with the eldest son. Now if Jun wants to gain the eldest son's trust, he may need Ming Gong's help."

Liu Bei nodded slightly and said: "Zhong Miao is planning this matter, and everything is at your disposal. From now on, Xiangyang and Xinye will be separated. If there is anything important, just send someone to inform Zilong."

As he spoke, Liu Bei couldn't help but worry about gains and losses. He began to worry that Huo Jun, who was a talented man, would take the opportunity to leave him and join Liu Qi's army.But when he thought about it, Liu Bei remembered how Huo Jun got along with him. He was the same as Chen Yuanlong. He was talented in both civil and military affairs and had extraordinary courage. He was hard to find in the world. How could he be the kind of person who was willing to work with Liu Qi.

It's a pity that Yuanlong has passed away!Otherwise, if you invade Jiangdong yourself and let Yuan Long respond in Guangling, you will not only be able to cooperate with Yuan Long, but also establish a foundation.

If Zhong Miao doesn't let me down, I will never let Zhong Miao down! ——
Just when Liu Bei's army was about to return to Xiangyang, Cai Mao, who had received Liu Biao's appointment order, had also returned to Xiangyang to meet his second sister Cai Yin.

Cai Hao sat on the couch and said hello: "Sister!"

"De Gui!" Cai Yin made a pot of tea soup for Cai Mao and said, "Your brother-in-law is getting older and is not feeling well. You need to share more with him this time when you come to Xiangyang."

After a pause, Cai Yin said casually: "Wan'er has reached the age of marriage, and I have suggested that Cong'er marry her. By then Cong'er and my Cai family will also be one, and Degui will also need a lot of help. Please pay attention to Liu Qi. Those people around me.”

"Ok!"

Cai Hao drank tea and responded softly.

In the past few days, in addition to receiving transfer orders from Liu Biao, he also received letters from his old friend Cao Cao.The letter asked about his recent physical condition, and also introduced the war situation in the Central Plains.He is not a stupid person, and he knows the purpose of Cao Cao's letter, which is nothing more than to promote force and win over himself.

Cai Mao also wrote back to Cao Cao, expressing their past friendship in Luoyang, nothing more.Many paths, many choices.

After a moment of silence, Cai Hao focused on the present and said, "Liu Qisu is loved by my brother-in-law. If you want Cong'er to take over, you still need to worry about it."

"I am inside!" Cai Yin said lightly.

For Liu Biao, who doted on her very much, in Cai Yin's eyes, it was just a matter of blowing a pillow.

"That's right!" Cai Yin added: "There is a Nanjun scholar who has been in the limelight recently, and his name is Huo Jun. Degui should pay attention to it and see if he can be used by my Cai family."

"Ok!"
