Ji Han Da Sima

Chapter 265 One after another
In December, Huo Jun set out from the Public Security Bureau, traveled under the stars and at night, spent several days, and arrived at Hanshou later than Liu Pan and Liu Xian.

When we arrived at Hanshou, it was already dusk.Huo Jun led Ding Feng and Jiang Ji into the city to rest and prepare to meet Liu Qi the next morning.

However, Huo Jun, who had been exhausted for several days, could not rest. When he first entered Hanshou's official residence, Liu Pan came to the door first.

In front of the lobby, Liu Pan stood with a sword in his hand. When he saw Huo Jun coming in a hurry, he greeted: "Zhong Miao!"

"Liu Wuling!"

Huo Jun smiled brightly, raised his hand and said: "General Guoan is a rare guest, please come into the hall."

The two of them walked into the hall. Liu Pan saw people on the left and right and said, "We are discussing important matters today. I wonder if Zhong Miao can shield us?"

Huo Jun winked at Jiang Ji. Jiang Ji understood what he meant and pretended to come out of the small door, but actually hid behind the bamboo basket.As Huo Jun's bodyguard, Ding Feng went out with a knife and guarded the door.

Sitting on the couch, Huo Jun saw Liu Pan hesitated and said, "General Guoan, please tell me if you have anything to say!"

Liu Pan hesitated a little and said, "Zhong Miao, do you know what is going on in Jingchu today?"

Huo Jun nodded slightly and said, "How could Jun not know that I made you sick on your bed and called us here to discuss the matter of your heir?"

Liu Pan's heart calmed down and he said: "I entered Hanshou a few days earlier than Zhongmiao, so I know that you are worried about it. You think that the eldest son is stronger than a woman's hands, and has a weak temperament, and it is difficult to control the military and political affairs of Jingzhou. You are deeply worried about this. concern."

"What do the national security think?"

Liu Pan pondered for a while and said: "The young master listens more to Mrs. Yuan's words, but Mrs. Yuan is ignorant and ill-advised, and is jealous. If the eldest son is allowed to take charge of Jingzhou now, I will need your help."

"Are there any other candidates?" Huo Jun asked knowingly.

Liu Pan was a little embarrassed, coughed slightly, and said, "Except for the eldest son, the king's will belongs to Pan!"

Huo Jun nodded and said: "There are only a few people in Zhijun's clan. Looking around, there are only two young masters under his knees. The two young masters are young and not familiar with the world. Looking at it now, General Guoan has made you obey his younger brother, so that you have The desire to become a general is also normal."

Liu Biaodan rode into Jingzhou, and many of his relatives who went south came to help him.His nephews are Liu Pan and Liu Hu, and his maternal nephew is Zhang Yun.However, during those few years, his nephew Liu Hu died of illness in Fancheng. Zhang Yun and Cai Hao fell in love together, and Liu Pan followed Liu Qi south to Jiangdong.

After Liu Biao's death, Xiangyang belonged to the Cao family.Except for his sister and brother-in-law Wang Kai, who went south, all other relatives and clan members followed Cao Cao.At present, besides his children, Liu Qi only has two close relatives, his sister Liu and his cousin Liu Pan.

Hearing Huo Jun's words, Liu Pan was delighted and said, "I wonder what Zhongmiao has to say about Jingchu's affairs?"

Liu Pan asked cryptically, but how could Huo Jun not know what he was thinking.Liu Pan came here tonight just to get Huo Jun's approval.Once he got Huo Jun's support, it was easy for Liu Pan to succeed Liu Qi with the help of his troops.

Huo Jun thought about it and said with a smile: "Jun already knows the meaning of national security. However, this matter is related to the safety of Jingchu, so Jun dare not speak lightly. Maybe he will know the depth of it when he meets the envoy in the morning."

With that said, Huo Jun bowed his hand to Liu Pan and said in a deep voice: "General Guoan can go back first. No matter what, Jun will never let you down."

Although Huo Jun asked Liu Zhong to go to Liu Bei with a whip, it did not mean that he would help Liu Bei unconditionally.After all, in terms of kindness and gifts, Liu Qi gave him more. If he didn't repay Liu Qi, he would feel uneasy.

"good!"

Hearing this, Liu Pan also knew what Huo Jun meant, stood up and said goodbye, "If Zhongmiao helps me, Pan will never let Zhongmiao down."

"General Guoan, walk slowly!"

Liu Pan stepped out of the house, but he was a little depressed because he didn't get Huo Jun's promise.

Outside the door, Xiong Han saw Liu Pan leaving the house and stepped forward and asked, "How are you doing, general?"

Liu Pan shook his head and said depressedly: "Huo Jun never agreed. He just asked me to go back first. He will see the envoy tomorrow."

Xiong Han sighed and said: "With Huo Zhongmiao's help, great things will be possible. Now Huo Jun has not promised. The general should visit Pan Zhizhong to see if he can get Pan Zhizhong's help."

Liu Pan nodded and said: "Han Sheng has promised to help me. If I can get the support of the scholars in the state, Yi Er will be the successor to Jingzhou!"

Not to mention that Liu Pan went to visit other people again. After Huo Jun saw Liu Pan off, his attendant came to report again and said that Wang Can, Wang Kai and Pan Jun had paid their respects.

Before Huo Jun chatted with Jiang Ji for a few words, he asked Jiang Ji to retreat behind Fuzhen and let the three people enter the hall.

"Zhong Miao!"

"You gentlemen!"

Several people bowed to each other and asked each other how they were doing.

Wang Can sat down at the table, raised his hands and asked, "Does Zhongmiao know about Han Shou?"

Compared with a few years ago, Wang Can is now a little less frivolous and a little more calm.

"Yes!" Huo Jun replied: "How could I not know that this is why Jun entered Hanshou?"

"Does Zhongmiao know that since Shijun fell ill, have the state officials discussed his words?" Wang Can said.Huo Jun shook his head and said: "When I first arrived in Hanshou, how could I know the words of the officials in the state?"

Wang Kai and Wang Can looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

Wang Kai showed anger on his face and said in a depressed tone: "Huan Jie, Fu Xun and other Cao family members have surrendered, and they have discussed privately that the emperor has died of illness and it is difficult to choose his successor. It is better to surrender to Cao Cao, so that his heirs can enjoy wealth and honor." Let the world be unified."

Huo Jun asked with a smile: "Is this really true?"

Pan Jun nodded and said helplessly: "If this is true, it is probably just a joke by Huan, Fu and others."

Huo Jun smiled and couldn't deny it.After all, many truths are told out of jokes. Jin Huan, Fu and others seem to miss Cao Cao, but it is better to say that they are not optimistic about Jing Chu's ship.

"Do you have any other words?" Huo Jun asked.

"Have!"

Wang Can stroked his beard and said: "There are mixed words in the house, saying that Duke Xuande can be allowed to take charge of Jingzhou, take charge of Yang and Jingzhou, and confront Cao Cao across the river. Even if the Han Dynasty cannot be revived, it may be possible to separate the river. "

As he spoke, Wang Canpi smiled but said: "However, this matter is very absurd. Duke Xuande has moved into Jingchu. How will you and your descendants deal with it? How can you be willing to hand over your inheritance to outsiders?"

Handing over the inheritance to outsiders has been rare throughout the ages.

When comparing Tao Qian's surrender of Xuzhou to this, there is actually a huge gap.Tao Qian is not the image of a good old man in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. He has great ambitions, is knowledgeable in military strategy, and is good at calculations.While in Xuzhou, in order to gain power, he promoted cronies and attacked local gentry.

At the time of Tao Qian's death, the only counties that Liu Bei actually obtained were Xiapi and Pengcheng. The rest were dominated by powerful forces in Langya, Guangling, and Donghai.Liu Bei, who took over at that time, not only had to face Yuan Shu in the south, but also Cao Cao in the west. With the tigers peeping at him, he only had two counties in his hands.In other words, Tao Qian seemed to be giving Xuzhou to Liu Bei at that time, but in fact he was handing over the mess to Liu Bei.

At present, there are more than ten counties under Liu Qi's rule. It covers a vast territory, has [-] soldiers and millions of people. Many counties in Jingchu are intact.I'm afraid it's difficult to compare Tao Qian's incident to that of Tao Qian.

Huo Jun seemed to sense Wang Can's deep meaning and asked, "Do you know the gossip in the mansion?"

Wang Can nodded slightly and said, "How could I not know that I have made you sick and lying on the bed, for fear of chaos in Jingchu, and he often calls us to ask questions?"

Huo Jun pondered for a while and asked, "Then why do you all come here?"

Pan Jun raised his hand to Huo Jun and said, "I'm waiting to see Zhong Miao, but I want to ask Zhong Miao what he wants?"

"What do you think?" Huo Jun asked.

Pan Jun showed a tangled look on his face and said: "In today's world of great strife, if the Lord is weak, I am afraid that he can only protect himself and cannot make progress. If you are uncertain about the eldest son for a long time, it will be difficult for the eldest son to be weak. event."

"What about taking General Guo'an as the pastor of Jingzhou?" Huo Jun asked tentatively.

Pan Jun frowned slightly and said: "Although General Guoan is brave and capable of fighting, he has few strategies. He can only be a general, not a king. If the two are compared, General Guoan may be his successor."

Huo Jun smiled and said: "Since there is a successor, why are you worried?"

After a pause, Huo Jun looked around the three of them and said with a smile: "Could it be that the three of them are the same as Huan and Fu, and want to persuade the envoy to return to Cao Cao? Or maybe they are invited by other people to invite Duke Xuande to Jingzhou to gain power."

Wang Can sighed slightly and said: "The matter of Jingchu is related to Jiangzuo. The matter of Wu and Chu is related to the safety of the world. It is difficult for us to find a suitable candidate now, and I want to see Zhongmiao's intention."

After saying that, Wang Can joked: "If it doesn't work, it would be better to let the second young master take the throne and we will assist him until he reaches adulthood; or we can borrow Xuande Gong to go to Jingchu and let Xuande Gong take charge of Jingchu on his behalf." thing."

Huo Jun glanced at Wang Can and said, "It's already late today, so you might as well go back later. Maybe you'll know the depth of the situation when Jun meets the envoy tomorrow morning."

Seeing Huo Jun's words, the three of them had no choice but to say goodbye and leave.

After a few people left, Jiang Ji and Ding Feng walked into the hall.

The young and energetic Ding Feng was very unsatisfied and shouted: "How can Liu Pan become the shepherd of Jingzhou? How can he be promoted to the position? With his high reputation and strong military strategy, wouldn't he also be able to serve as the shepherd of Jingzhou?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Huo Jun scolded.

Seeing that Huo Jun had no intention of doing so, Jiang Ji said, "Don't talk nonsense outside. How can the general do such a rebellious thing because he has been so favored by the envoy? Even if the general had this idea, Liu Pan and Liu Xian would not agree, and Liu Bei would not do it either. Lead troops to attack."

Huo Jun almost never thought about taking advantage of Liu Qi's death to support himself.Regardless of his current reputation, admiration, and army, in fact a large part of it comes from Liu Qi.

If he betrays Liu Qi, many things will leave him.Moreover, the forces of the heroes were gradually established, and Huo Jun was only a powerful petty official with no connections with the noble family.If you want to become a guest now, your reputation will not only be bad, but you will also be besieged by many parties, and you will eventually be defeated.

If by the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the heroes are fighting, it may be possible to separate one party by relying on the opportunity.

Ding Feng scratched his head and could only giggle.As Ding Feng's younger brother, he took over his brother's duties and was responsible for protecting Huo Jun after Ding Feng became the general of the Zhihu Army.

Seeing Huo Jun pacing and thinking deeply, Jiang Ji asked, "What does the general mean?"

"Tomorrow morning, I will pay homage to the envoy. I will analyze the pros and cons of the decision and state the pros and cons to the envoy." Huo Jun said in a deep voice.
