Xiliang Iron Cavalry

The two brothers Xin Pi and Xin Ping, after the Zhen family, also took refuge in the Xiliang army, and are now becoming Chen Zhen's assistants, assisting Chen Zhen in managing Jizhou. As a big family in Jizhou, the two brothers of the Xin family have a better understanding of the situation in Jizhou With their help, Jizhou will become stronger and stronger.

Not only civil servants in Jizhou, but also many military generals who defected to the Xiliang army. Their lord Yuan Shao was killed in battle, and none of their wives and children escaped. Jia Rong also temporarily placed these generals in the army. Someone is secretly watching, and if there is any change, they will be arrested immediately.

But Zhang Jaw and Yan Liangwen Chou are hard-headed, no matter how persuaded they will not surrender, but the three of them did not eat or drink like Tian Feng in prison, but ate very happily. After eating and drinking, the thing is to scold The generals of the Xiliang Army hated the jailers so much that they wished that Jia Rong would order them to be executed immediately.

Although Zhen Yi reached the peak of Jizhou in a short period of time, he still understood a lot of truths. He did not blindly develop his own strength, but actually cooperated with the government's actions. Even after Chen Zhen took a series of measures to weaken the aristocratic family, Many aristocratic families were surprised that they did not show any resistance.

Jizhou is guarded by a strong army, and the aristocratic family dare not make any changes at all. Even if the aristocratic family has ideas, they dare not make it too obvious. Who knows how many people in the aristocratic family have secretly joined the Xiliang army. If one is not careful, The family is broken, is the most bleak.

After losing troops in Jingzhou, Cao Cao rushed back to Yanzhou in desperation. The Xiliang army occupied Jizhou, and the situation of Cao Jun suddenly became tense. He has hoarded 20 soldiers and horses to guard against the Xiliang army. Besides Luoyang, he has also hoarded [-] soldiers and horses. In addition to the loss of nearly [-] soldiers and horses in Jingzhou, the force has been consumed by [-] troops. There is almost no spare power in the army. , had no choice but to recruit troops and buy horses again, slowly recovering strength, and did not pacify Liu Biao in Jingzhou, which meant that Cao Cao needed a lot of effort to fight the Xiliang army. After this battle, Cao Cao also had a kind of The feeling of mental and physical exhaustion, the hard work of many years, once all was broken by Liu Bei, and at the same time he was a little bit disappointed. Compared with Jia Rong, he stood up higher and occupied the fertile land of the Central Plains in a short period of time. Thinking that it still can't be compared with the Xiliang Army.

Liu Biao was very excited to be able to drive Cao Cao, the great enemy, out of Jingzhou. After Cao Cao withdrew, he ordered Kuai Yue to lead [-] troops, intending to take back the lost Nanyang County and completely disintegrate Cao Jun's power in Jingzhou.

It doesn't matter if Liu Biao is happy, there is something wrong with his body, he coughed loudly, panicked the maid, and hurriedly brought the imperial doctor over. After lying on the bed for diagnosis, the imperial doctor shook his head slightly. He has become dissolute, the harem recruits many beauties, not to mention singing every night, he will go there every now and then, Liu Biao has already entered old age, so it doesn't matter if he is lying on the hospital bed and can't get up, no matter what What means does the imperial doctor have? For an old man who is overjoyed and sad and has entered his twilight years, it seems that there is no medicine to save him.

Liu Biao lay down on the bed, and his temper became extremely violent. Once, when a maid knocked something over in the house, she was ordered to be executed. Many concubines were also reprimanded, and people in the palace were panicked for a while.

That's right, Liu Biao has not been emperor for many years, and God made such a joke on him, and it would be uncomfortable for anyone.

Liu Biao was lying on the bed with a serious illness. The officials under his command also began to choose who they should support. Liu Biao had two sons, one was Liu Qi and the other was Liu Cong, but Liu Biao loved his youngest son Liu Cong the most. It is not the eldest son Liu Qi, this is worth thinking about by the officials under his command. Although Liu Qi is the eldest son of Liu Biao, he has been guarding Jiangxia for many years, and the name is to resist Jiangdong. The ministers all know that this is Liu Biao. strategy for power struggle.

At such a critical moment, standing on the wrong team means that in the future, this small court will be suppressed or will rise to the top.

Recently, Liu Biao couldn't swallow no matter what kind of food it was, and he managed to eat a little something every day to get by. His anxious personality gradually calmed down, and he began to think about the things behind him. He was already satisfied with his life, Rong Rong What a blessing it is to be able to achieve the Ninth Five-Year Plan.

"Order to let Liu Bei come to the palace to have an audience." Liu Biao said in a hoarse voice.

To say that Jingzhou is the most worrying thing for him, not Cai Mao but Liu Bei in Jiangling. When he was there, relying on his understanding of Liu Bei, he was able to subdue him. If it turned Jingzhou upside down, Liu Biao would not be able to rest in peace underground.

After Liu Bei was summoned by Liu Biao, he was a little puzzled. Although the two belonged to the same clan, since Liu Biao became emperor, the number of times Liu Biao and him met became less and less, and news of Liu Biao's terminal illness spread in Jingzhou. Liu Bei also heard some news in Jiangling, and even the [-] troops who were preparing to fight against Nanyang County also withdrew to Xiangyang, and the whole Jingzhou was shrouded in a shadow.

"My lord, Liu Jingsheng is not for other reasons, but for the military power in my lord's hands." Zhuge Liang said slowly: "In the battle of Jiangling that day, Cao Jun's tens of thousands of troops were only a few hundred people left, and many of them were drowned and surrendered. The army currently has [-] soldiers and horses, and looking at the entire Jingzhou, there are only tens of thousands of soldiers, so Liu Jingsheng can rest assured."

"Sir, what should I do then?" Liu Bei asked anxiously. He finally had soldiers and horses in his hands again. He didn't want to be deprived of them for no reason. After losing them, he would not understand the importance of the army. , Liu Bei has a greater chance to elevate his career to a higher level.

"My lord, no matter what Liu Biao asks, you just say that you are following the will of the Holy Majesty. Even if he wants the military power in the lord's hands, he must hand it over without hesitation." Zhuge Liang said.

Liu Bei asked puzzledly, "Sir, what?"

"Liu Biao is already at dusk, and his personality will definitely become suspicious and uncertain. My lord will readily hand over the military power in his hands. He will also see that the lord has no ambition to compete for Jingzhou. Liu Biao will agree to his orders. That is to say, my lord. Recognize him as the Holy Majesty, if Liu Jingsheng asks which heir will inherit the throne in a hundred years, the lord will just say that he doesn't know, and remember that disaster comes from the mouth." Zhuge Liang urged.

"Just according to the words of the master." Liu Bei said.

After Liu Bei left, Zhuge Liang murmured, "Even if Liu Biao wants the military power of our army, it's not easy. Hmph, Jingzhou will fall into the hands of the lord sooner or later."

Liu Bei led more than a hundred cavalry, galloped on horseback, and rushed to Xiangyang in the starry night.

"My minister pays homage to His Majesty." Liu Bei saluted respectfully.

Liu Biao's sleeping eyelids moved a few times, struggling to sit up, but was hurriedly supported by the maid beside him.

"Xuande, don't be too polite, get up quickly." Liu Biao said in a somewhat hasty tone.

After taking a breath, Liu Biao continued: "Xuande, you and I are of the same clan, but now I am seriously ill and must leave. The two sons who are not talented are not enough to take over the power of Jingzhou, so I will hand it over to Xuande." to govern."

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible. How can one be able to rule Jingzhou with a lowly position? The two princes are intelligent, and they are willing to do their best to help." Liu Bei said hastily.

"Oh, we can discuss this matter later." Liu Biao said, "I heard that Xuande was training troops in Jiangling to fight Cao Cao to the death?"

"Reporting to the Holy Majesty, the humble official started at the end of the century, and finally established a huge foundation in Xuzhou. It was attacked and occupied by Cao Cao's children. Bei will definitely spare no effort to violate Jingzhou." Liu Bei said loudly, there was no falsehood in what he said, and the whole world knew about his affairs with Cao Cao.

"Okay, it's Jingzhou's blessing for Xuande to have such great ambitions." Liu Biao was overly excited, coughing non-stop, and his cheeks became flushed.

"My lord, the dragon's body is the most important thing."

"It doesn't matter, I know the body of the widow. Xuande, since the battle with Cao Cao, Jingzhou has been short of soldiers and horses. I heard that Xuande has tens of thousands of elite soldiers. I wonder if they can be used by Jingzhou to help the widow put down the chaos."

"Your Majesty, the soldiers and horses of the humble ministers are the soldiers and horses of the Holy Majesty, but they are dispatched, and it is their duty to do so. How can we borrow them?" Liu Bei knelt on one knee and said.

"Well, Xuande is a loyal minister of Jingzhou. After a hundred years, I hope you can do your best to help the new sage." After speaking, Liu Biao waved his hand to signal Liu Bei to leave, and closed his eyes.

Leaving the palace, Liu Bei felt that his back was already soaked in sweat. If it wasn't for Zhuge Liang's exhortation, he might have hesitated when Liu Biao asked him to hand over his military power. Once he hesitated, he could see some clues. Liu Biao will definitely stay in the palace with him forever without hesitation. No matter how talented Liu Bei is, putting him in Jingzhou is an unstable factor, and Liu Biao will not let him go.

"What did you say, after the Holy Majesty summoned Liu Bei, he talked for a long time, and then Liu Bei left the palace?" Empress Cai questioned.

"Queen Qi, that's exactly the case." The little eunuch hurriedly replied.

"Go down." Empress Cai said.

"What's going on with Liu Biao? Why did you let Liu Bei leave the palace? Didn't you agree to take away the military power in his hands?"

Liu Biao has two sons. Regarding the heir, many courtiers thought that Liu Biao would pass the throne to Liu Qi. Without him, passing the eldest son is a rule set by the ancestors, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that Liu Biao prefers Empress Cai. The second son Liu Cong was born, and Liu Cong was talented and intelligent. Although he was young, he was already eloquent in speaking and doing things, and he was deeply loved by Liu Biao. Maybe a hundred years later, the throne would become Liu Cong's.
