Soldiers come to the world

When Liu Biao returned to the study, his wife, Mrs. Cai, also followed in, took off his outer robe for him, and said with a smile, "Actually, I was also very worried about what happened to Cong'er, but I am relieved when he comes back safely. As for the injuries Just take it easy, general, don’t worry, there are only incurable injuries in the world, there is no incurable disease.”

Liu Biao nodded. What his wife said made some sense. He sat down and said in displeasure, "I was angry because he was too ridiculous. I obviously asked him to appease the Tao family for me, but I didn't expect him to propose marriage to the Tao family." , fighting for a woman and Huang Zu's son, how can I save my face if it gets out?"

Mrs. Cai smiled, and said calmly: "I can only blame that daughter of the Tao family for being too beautiful. I heard that even Jing'er wants to marry her, let alone Cong'er."

"Jing'er?"

Liu Biao was taken aback, he didn't know about this at all, he couldn't help frowning and asked, "What's going on?"

"I just heard from Shaoyu that Jing'er likes Tao Sheng's daughter. The reason for the Huang family's sword competition last time was actually because of her. As a result, Cong'er also fell in love with this woman, and it ended up being outrageous."

"Bullshit!"

Liu Biao slapped the table and said angrily, "How can the dignified Zhou Mu's nephew marry a merchant's daughter?"

Mrs. Cai was overjoyed in her heart, and hurriedly persuaded in a hypocritical way: "I just heard about this matter, so I may not be able to take it seriously, and young people value affection, which should be understandable, why should the general be angry?"

Liu Biao is not stupid. He had always wondered why Liu Jing defended the Tao family so much, and did not hesitate to deal with Zhang Yun for the sake of the Tao family. He thought Liu Jing was doing it for Chaisang, but now it seems that he was doing it for the daughter of the Tao family. How could Liu Biao not be angry.

He paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back. At first Liu Jing refused to marry the daughter of the Cai family, and said he wanted to marry the sister of Sun Quan and the daughter of Cao Cao. Now Liu Biao knew the real reason, which made him feel dissatisfied. If it was the Kuai family He may be able to accept his daughter, but it happens to be the daughter of Chaisang Tao.

At this time, Mrs. Cai whispered again from the side: "General, the Tao family is indeed responsible for this matter. They didn't protect Cong'er well. I mean, I simply asked the daughter of the Tao family to marry Cong'er as a concubine. It is to make Cong'er calm down, and secondly, to silence outsiders, what does the general think?"

Mrs. Cai proposed to marry Tao Zhan to Liu Cong. On the one hand, it was for revenge on Liu Jing, and on the other hand, it was also a test to see if Liu Biao had the heart to cover up his son's ugliness. If Liu Biao had this idea, he could arrange for Shao Yu to marry him as soon as possible To Liu Cong.

Liu Biao is a very face-saving person, and he is also very worried about outsiders' comments on his son. Marrying his son with a wife and concubine is indeed a good way to conceal the truth.

Mrs. Cai's suggestion made Liu Biao a little tempted. He pondered for a moment, then suddenly thought of Liu Jing, and waved his hand, "I'll talk about these things later, I'm going to the state government first, Cong'er's side, you can do as much as you want." Have a snack!"

Liu Biao changed his clothes and left in a hurry. Mrs. Cai had a smug smile on her face as she watched her husband go away. At least she did the first step very successfully.

. . . . . . . . .

Night fell quietly, and since Liu Jing asked for leave to go to Chaisang, Liu Hu has been in charge of the Fancheng barracks. However, this is only temporary, Liu Biao has appointed Wu Ju's son Wu Qing as the Marquis of Fancheng, and will soon take over the barracks.

This news made Liu Hu and others very worried. If Liu Jing was transferred away, what should they do?

In the barracks, Liu Hu was standing alone in front of the archery target, practicing archery. He seemed in a bad mood, cursing, and shooting several arrows into the air. Grandma's, I don't have a good bow!"

At this time, a soldier rushed over and reported in surprise: "Brother Hu, the Marquis Jun is back!"

Liu Hu didn't react for a while, he was stunned for a while, then suddenly yelled, let go of his big feet and ran towards the gate of the barracks.

From a distance, Liu Jing led his horse in from the gate of the camp, and Wei Yan, who happened to be on duty at the gate, was also following him, Liu Hu was so happy that his heart was about to explode, he jumped up and down and shouted: "Brother Jing! Don't you want tigers?"

He rushed forward, picked up Liu Jing, turned around and wanted to run, he was so powerful, coupled with the excitement in his heart, Liu Jing couldn't break free for a while, Liu Jing was angry and funny, and shouted: "Tiger, you want to make me look ugly ?"

Wei Yan next to him was so frightened that he quickly grabbed Liu Hu, and Liu Hu let go. Liu Jing punched him on the shoulder and scolded him with a smile: "At least I have been a village chief for a few months, why haven't I made any progress?"

Liu Hu scratched the back of his head and laughed, "I was excited at the moment, don't get angry, Junhou."

At this time, the soldiers heard the news and gathered around Liu Jing. Everyone's face was full of excitement and excitement, and there was a kind of reverence for their superiors. Liu Jing's deeds in Chaisang had already spread all over Xiangfan. Having heard it all, everyone was chattering and expressing their inner expectations.

"Will the Marquis return to Chaisang?"

"Marquis Jun, take us to Chaisang! We are willing to follow you."

Liu Jing looked at the faces full of expectation, and he was moved in his heart. Most of these brothers lived and died with him in Xinye, and they have deep feelings for each other. Although they only broke up for half a month, he felt as if they had already broken up. long time.

This was mainly due to the battle in Chaisang, which gave him a new life, and he naturally felt a sense of time away from the former barracks. Liu Jing waved to everyone, and smiled at a boss: "Mr. Han Ben, I'm not here, did you take the opportunity to gamble?"

The uncle hurriedly saluted: "I report to the Marquis, I have never gambled once in my humble position."

After a pause, he added: "The main reason is that the wife at home knew that the Marquis was not here, so she took care of me."

Everyone laughed loudly, Han Laoben was famously fearful, "Old Ben!" Someone shouted: "Did the money hidden in the bottom of your shoes be searched too?"

Everyone laughed again, and Liu Jing couldn't help laughing too. How could he be willing to give up so many lovely soldiers.

"Famous brother!"

Liu Jing shouted loudly to everyone: "After I come back this time, I will go to Chaisang to serve. If there are any brothers who are willing to go with me, I warmly welcome them. I, Liu Jing, promise everyone that I will follow every brother of mine. There will be a future!"

There was silence all around at first, and in an instant, cheers sounded like thunder.

． ． ． ． ． ． ．

In the room, Liu Jing and several important figures discussed the matter of going to Chaisang. Liu Jing first briefly explained the process of the Chaisang battle to them.

"The Marquis Jun is really unreasonable this time."

Liu Hu thought that he had no part in this battle, so he couldn't help saying sourly: "You went to Chaisang to make meritorious service, but left us old brothers here to watch the gate."

Wei Yan couldn't help but kicked him lightly from below, Liu Hu stared, "Old Wei, it's useless for you to kick me, the chance is gone, can't it be okay to complain?"

Wei Yan was embarrassed, so he had to laugh dryly, while Liu Jing laughed and said: "The battle of Chaisang came too suddenly, I didn't prepare at all in advance, thanks to the money and food supported by the Tao family, I recruited some soldiers, otherwise This time my little life will be lost there."

Liu Hu murmured, "Anyway, I'm committed to you, so don't even think about throwing me away!"

"All right!"

Liu Jing smiled and waved his hands, "Let's talk about it in the future! I plan to take all the brothers away this time, so I would like to ask you to communicate more with the brothers and see what difficulties they have, such as Han Laoben's The wives and children must follow, how many such soldiers are there? I will consider placing them."

Liu Jing said to Shuzuo Lusheng again: "Lu Shuzuo, I will leave this matter to you, and you will give me a report the day after tomorrow at the latest."

Lu Sheng nodded silently, "I understand."

At this time, Wei Yan and several village chiefs asked: "Marquis Jun, what can we do?"

"You have to do two things. One is to cooperate with Lu Shuzuo to understand the difficulties of the brothers, and the other is to stabilize the army and prevent some people from lying to the public."

． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．

Liu Jing's rumors to confuse people are not without grounds. Just when his reputation is in the sky and everyone is praising him for defending Chaisang and fighting against Jiangdong, there are also some incongruous voices mixed in.

Some gossip said: Liu Jing's origin is unknown, not Liu Biao's nephew, but Cao Cao sent someone to impersonate him, with the purpose of seeking Jingzhou.

There is another rumor, also about Liu Jing, that Liu Cong was injured, but in fact Liu Jing sent someone to pretend to be Huang Yong in order to put Liu Cong to death.

In addition, there is a third rumor that Liu Cong's lower body is broken, he can no longer have sex, and has become a disabled person.

Although these three rumors are not the mainstream of the discourse, they have not subsided, and have always been mixed with praises, neither high-key nor low-key, especially the third rumor is the most interesting, and everyone in Xiangyang is talking about it.

As soon as Liu Jing arrived in Xiangyang, he heard these three rumors. The third rumor had nothing to do with him, but the first two rumors made Liu Jing more vigilant. The rumor of injuring Liu Cong was within his expectation. It must have been spread by the Cai family. He is not worried.

But the first rumor surprised Liu Jing quite a bit. It was far more vicious than the second rumor. When he first heard this rumor, Liu Jing once suspected that Liu Bei was spreading it.

Thinking about it carefully, he found it impossible. Spreading such rumors would not benefit Liu Bei at all, but would do more harm than good. With Liu Bei's city and character, it was impossible for him to stab himself in the back at this time.

So who is spreading the rumors, Cai Mao?It's still Huang Zu. After much deliberation, only Cai and Huang are the most likely.

Smearing himself from behind and provoking Liu Biao's suspicion towards him was not without vicious intentions, nor vicious methods, so for Liu Jing, the first thing to appease the army was to win Liu Biao's trust.

The key is Liu Biao. As long as Liu Biao's trust is gained, these rumors are meaningless.

After leaving the barracks, Liu Jing crossed the river and returned to Xiangyang with a few entourages. At this time, night shrouded both sides of the Han River, and the number of pedestrians crossing the river decreased significantly. Occasionally, a ferry boat crossed the river.

Liu Jing crossed the river by boat. He led the horse and walked slowly ashore from the narrow plank. A thousand-stone ship happened to be moored beside it. There were strings of lanterns hanging on the boat. dazzling.

On the tall mast hangs an extra-large dead air lantern with a diameter of about half a foot. On the orange lantern, there is a large black letter: 'Yellow'.

The word 'Huang' startled Liu Jing slightly, he instinctively thought of Huang Zu's boat.

At this moment, dozens of soldiers escorted a middle-aged military officer off the boat, and happened to have a face-to-face meeting with Liu Jing, only to see that the middle-aged military officer had a head as big as a bucket and a face like a pumpkin. The man is Huang Zu.
