Soldiers come to the world

The night was getting dark, and the lights in Liu Jing's big tent were still on, and more than a hundred personal guards patrolled around the big tent, watching the surrounding vigilantly from time to time.

In the big tent, Liu Jing stood in front of the sand table with his hands behind his back and meditated for a long time. He didn't pay attention to a small Xixia County. He was considering the entire Bashu strategy. Seizing Bashu was his goal, but the first step was It is to drive Liu Bei's forces out of Bashu completely.

In fact, Liu Bei's power is not worth mentioning in Liu Jing's eyes. No matter how much wisdom Zhuge Liang has, it is useless in the face of powerful strength. When he seized Bashu, he inevitably had to deal with the local factions of Bashu.

However, the confrontation between the Bashu native faction and Dongzhou scholars made it extremely difficult for him to win the support of the Bashu native faction. This is not a problem that can be solved by fists, including Zhang Song, Zhang Ren, Wu Yi, Wang Lei, Huang Quan Most of the real power figures in Bashu, including Li and others, are full of hostility towards him.

Although Zhang Song's death has greatly dealt a blow to Bashu's internal conspiracy to collude with Liu Bei, it also contributed to the unity of Bashu's local factions. This is the pros and cons of a sword. When the beneficial side is gradually consumed, Liu Jing will You have to start facing the downside.

While Liu Jing was deep in thought, a personal guard rushed to the front of the tent and reported: "Qizhou Mu, a group of officers came outside, claiming to be the defenders of Xiling County, and they arrested Liu Lian. They are willing to surrender. "

Liu Jing was startled, but then he realized that he couldn't help laughing. He thought Liu Lian would take the initiative to ask for surrender, but he didn't expect his subordinates to lose their composure. Liu Jing walked out quickly and greeted his relatives The guards laughed and said, "Go and see!"

. . . . . . .

Outside the camp, thousands of torches illuminated an open space like daylight. The general on duty tonight was Huang Zhong. Being tied up and thrown on the ground, with his mouth blocked by rags, he no longer had the anger of being caught, but became dejected, like a rooster waiting to be slaughtered. [

Ya Jiang surnamed Wu was talking to Huang Zhong when a soldier shouted, "The state shepherd is here!"

The soldiers stepped out of the way one after another. Dozens of personal guards escorted Liu Jing and walked forward quickly. Huang Zhong clasped his fists and said, "I report to Zhou Mu that it is the defenders of Xiling County who are begging to surrender."

Liu Jing glanced at Liu Lian who was lying on the ground. Of course he knew Liu Lian. His father, Liu Chi, had a high status in the family and had participated in sacrifices together. He had met this Liu Lian several times before, and he had a very good relationship with Liu Qi. , is relatively indifferent to himself and doesn't talk much.

Liu Jing ignored Liu Lian for the time being, and turned to a dozen surrendered generals with a smile on his face. The dozen generals stepped forward and knelt down one after another, and the leader Yajiang clasped his fists and said, "The lowly job is Wuling Yajiang. We are all from Wuling. Back then, we were generals of General Zhao Yun, and we did not want to sacrifice our lives for Liu Bei, but were willing to follow Zhou Mu."

Liu Jing laughed and said, "So you are all generals of General Zhao!"

"Yes! We followed him for several years."

Liu Jing nodded, "In that case, I will arrange for you to follow General Zhao again, but now I need to help me regain Zigui County."

Everyone was overjoyed and expressed their opinions one after another, "I would like to die for the state shepherd!"

Liu Jing immediately said to Huang Zhong: "The old general can take them to take over Xiling County, be safe!"

"I will understand at the end!"

Huang Zhong immediately arranged for soldiers to go to Xiling County to inquire. At this time, he took another look at Liu Lian and ordered his soldiers, "Take him to my tent."

In the big tent, Liu Lian had already been untied. He stood with his head bowed by the tent, and gently moved his wrists that were bound numb. There was no third person in the big tent except him and Liu Jing, and the atmosphere seemed awkward. , Liu Jing asked lightly: "How is your father now?"

According to his seniority and childhood address, Liu Jing should be called Liu Lian's father, that is, Liu Chen is Zhong's father, but Liu Jing didn't want to call him like this at this time. At the beginning, he wrote to Liu Chen, hoping that Liu Chen could bring his people to Jiangxia, but However, Liu Chen ran to Lingling with dozens of people from his clan, and this matter has always made Liu Jing unhappy.

Liu Lian said coldly: "Thank you, Prefect Liu, for your concern. My father is fine now."

Liu Jing glanced at Liu Lian, he was quite stubborn, not at all subdued, Liu Jing smiled and asked him, "You call me Governor Liu, do you think I shouldn't be the shepherd of Jingzhou?"

"Yes!"

Liu Lian made no secret of his dissatisfaction, "The family is based on the eldest son, and all of us believe that Mr. Qi should inherit the position of Jingzhou Mu."

"Not all of them! Uncle Six, Uncle Seven, and Uncle Nine all followed Liu Cong to Yedu, but they thought Mr. Cong should inherit the position of Jingzhou Shepherd." There was a hint of irony in Liu Jing's smile.

Liu Lian said, stiffened his neck for a while and said, "Whether it's Mr. Qi or Mr. Cong, they are both the sons of the head of the family. It's only natural for them to inherit the father's business. No matter what, it's not the nephew's turn to inherit."

Liu Jing took out a well-pasted blood book from a jade box, and handed it to Liu Lian, "This is the suicide note written by Biejia of Jingzhou before his death. It was passed on to me, but it was tampered with by Cai Hao and others, and killed Liu Xian to silence it. It is also this blood book that made Wenpin, Huang Zhong and other Jingzhou veterans willing to pledge their allegiance to me. I think with your wisdom, you should not think it is a forgery .”

Liu Lian stared at the blood book, and he was shocked. They never knew about it. Of course, they also believed that Cai Mao's supporting Liu Cong was a fraud, but they believed that Liu Biao passed the throne to his eldest son Liu Qi before he died, but Liu Lian Unexpectedly, Liu Biao passed the throne to Liu Jing.

Liu Lian's heart was in a mess, of course he knew that Liu Jing would not lie about this matter, Wen Pin, Huang Zhong and others were not so easy to deceive, this matter must be true, but how to explain that matter?

He thought of Liu Jing's fake identity, he suddenly raised his head to look at Liu Jing, and saw Liu Jing's deep eyes flickering with a hint of murderous intent, he suddenly became terrified, as if seeing a ghost in broad daylight, this person in front of him is not the real Liu Jing , the real Liu Jing is dead.

Liu Lian was so frightened that he took two steps back, his legs felt weak, his arms trembled, and he pointed to Liu Jing and asked, "Who are you?"

Liu Jing walked a few steps with his hands behind his back. He knew what the problem was. It should be his identity. Liu Bei must have told them repeatedly that he was a fake person, so that they felt resentful. These paranoid guys!Liu Jing cursed secretly.

"You mean, I'm the fake Liu Jing?"

Liu Jing sneered, "At the beginning, Liu Bei told Sun Quan the same way, but Sun Quan ignored him at all. Later, Liu Bei also sent someone to secretly tell Cao Cao, and it is said that he also showed the so-called evidence. Do you know the result?"

Liu Lian said, Liu Jing said coldly: "Cao Cao invited the emperor immediately, and officially named me Jingzhou Mu and Chuhou, and at the same time included me in the list of priests of the Taimiao. Do you know what this means? "

Liu Lian wiped the sweat from his forehead, he is not stupid, he understands Liu Jing's meaning, Sun Quan and Cao Cao, even today's sons only recognize strength, he suddenly thought of Liu Qi, although he is the eldest son, But so what?It's not about becoming Liu Bei's puppet.

On the contrary, if it weren't for Liu Jing's strength to defeat Cao Cao and Sun Quan, Jingzhou would have been slaughtered and divided up. Liu Lian was a little moved by the persuasion, and he bowed his head and remained silent for a while.

Liu Jing glanced at Liu Lian again. He felt the subtle change in Liu Lian's heart. In fact, a family was very important to him. He didn't need any family affection, but the existence of a family, which was responsible for his power and status. Tor is extremely important.

Liu Jing's tone became softer, "Brother Lian, people change, don't always compare me now with me when I was a child, because I robbed Liu Bei of his vital interests and made his attempt to take Liu Qi to occupy Jingzhou in vain. , he will slander me in every possible way, brother Lian, you have to believe that only I can protect the interests of the family, if everyone's vision is wide enough, your vision should be farther, not just limited to Jingzhou."

Liu Lian's body trembled violently, he understood Liu Jing's meaning, their eyes should be on the sky, as if a fan suddenly opened in front of him, allowing Liu Lian to see the magnificent scenery outside, his heart was completely shaken, After a while, he whispered, "Let me think about it again."

Liu Jing nodded, "I'll let you go back. You can discuss it with your second uncle, and you can even discuss it with your third uncle. I might as well tell you the truth first. Liu Bei has been named Jiaozhou Shepherd. This winter and next spring, Jingnan We will return to Jingzhou."

Speaking of this, Liu Jing ordered the soldiers at the door of the tent: "Let Li Qing come to see me."

After a while, Li Qing walked in quickly, and Liu Jing told him: "Find a boat and send Liu Juncheng and his personal soldiers back to the south bank."

Liu Lian left, and Liu Jing paced slowly in the big tent alone. In the past two years, he had been thinking about family issues. The importance of the family to him was not in Jingzhou, but in the entire royal family. He said that he would be crowned King of Xiangyang, but he believed that even if Cao Cao had such a heart, he might not be willing to do so today.

Liu Xie just hoped that he could save him, not replace him. Once Liu Jing really got to the point of replacing Liu Xie, he would definitely be strongly opposed by the Liu clan. The importance of "importance" is revealed.

The Liu clan can accuse themselves of being a fake royal family, but they can't accuse the Liu Biao family of being fake. This is actually a factional struggle. Many things don't just require strength. It's the same as being afraid of taking Liu Zhang's foundation.

Liu Jing was thinking about it, when the personal guard reported at the door: "Report to Zhou Mu, Sima's army division has arrived!"

Liu Jing sent someone to Jiangling yesterday to inform Sima Yi to come to Xiling County to meet him. He thought he would arrive in two days, but he did not expect him to come today.

Liu Jing laughed and said, "Please come in!"

After a while, Sima Yi walked in quickly, he smiled and cupped his hands and said, "I have a gift for Zhou Mu!"
