Cao Thief

Chapter 683 Jingzhou Soldiers ([-])

Liu Biao is dead?

That's right, Liu Biao is indeed dead!

Speaking of which, Liu Biao's health has been ups and downs since he entered Jian'an 12 years ago.In the summer he fell ill again, and very seriously.Although Liu Biao's health improved somewhat in the late summer, he fell ill again in the autumn, and he couldn't afford it after that.

Liu Biao's condition was very serious, and as the weather turned colder, his condition worsened day by day.

It was at this time that Jingzhou and Nanyang went to war in an all-out way.He recalled Liu Bei and arranged Liu Bei in Fancheng, which was like house arrest.Then, he took back Xinye and other places, and launched a protracted and fierce battle with Cao Peng.The battle line stretches from Zhangling to Anzhong.Liu Biao mobilized tens of thousands of troops and assembled them on the front line of Xinye, and dispatched powerful generals, such as Wenpin Wang Wei and others, to supervise the front line.

However, Cao Peng stopped the offensive at this moment!
In his words, during the autumn harvest, it is not appropriate to fight, and people's livelihood should be the most important thing.

The setting sun gathers for rescue and earns a lot of points for Cao Peng.Many powerful families in Nanyang expressed their appreciation for Cao Peng.As Cao Peng said, Jing people do things and Jing people rule.At critical times, outsiders are not enough to support.The tyrants in Rangcheng and other places have more or less expressed their dissatisfaction with Liu Biao.They believe that Liu Biao, instead of shutting himself up and introspecting himself after such a major flood disaster, went to war by force, which was definitely not the act of the Ming Lord.For this reason, Nanyang celebrities, led by Deng Di and Cen Shao, published an article in Nanyang Truth Daily, strongly criticizing Liu Biao.Liu Biao's reputation is so high, and he was scolded bloody, so he was naturally extremely angry...

However, Liu Biao does not have a mouthpiece like Nanyang Pravda in his hands, so he can only explain in a small range!

While Cao Peng launched a public opinion war, he stepped up to clean up the mess.

Although Nanyang suffered natural disasters, many places were flooded.However, because Cao Peng had already prepared to mobilize a large amount of grain and grass from Yingchuan as a reserve, there were no large-scale deaths.On the contrary, under Cao Peng's deliberate arrangement, people in various places were evacuated and appeased to varying degrees.Under Cao Peng's instructions, the refugee diversion was carried out in several counties with the most dense population.

Send refugees to places with less severe disasters and less population.

At the same time, according to the specific circumstances, a certain degree of compensation was given.

For example, places like Rangcheng were densely populated and the land was relatively tight... After diversion and rearrangement, many refugees, especially those without much family property, were arranged in counties with a relatively small population, such as Danshui County.

As the government, in addition to arranging relocation, it will also give land compensation.

In this way, counties such as Rangcheng, where the land is relatively tight, have been relieved to a certain extent.And a county like Danshui with a lot of idle land has increased its population so that the land can be used properly.In short, after Cao Peng was stationed in Wancheng, he devoted all his energy to dealing with the disaster.At the same time, every step he took was reported to everyone through the Nanyang Truth Report in order to win everyone's understanding.These behaviors were praised by Nanyang people, especially Cao Peng.

Cao Peng's prestige has been greatly improved.

But Liu Biao was helpless in the face of Cao Peng's carefully arranged defense line.

At the end of September in the 12th year of Jian'an, Duke Pang De was invited by Cao Peng to go out of Lumen Mountain to visit Wancheng.He was very satisfied with what Cao Peng did after he came to Nanyang.Moreover, under Pang Degong's persuasion, Chen Zhen, a famous scholar in Wancheng who was captured by Deng Zhi in Jiyang before, also agreed to surrender.Of course, with Chen Zhen's reputation and status, it is absolutely impossible to surrender to Cao Peng.His surrender was surrender to Cao Cao.After all, in terms of age, seniority, and qualifications, Cao Peng is not enough to conquer Chen Zhen.However, Cao Peng took Chen Zhen to work for Nanyang County on the grounds that Nanyang was waiting for prosperity and needed help. He would assist Cao Peng to manage the disaster in Nanyang.

Later, Duke Pang published an article on Nanyang Truth, denouncing Liu Biao for going his own way regardless of the life and death of the people...

After reading Pang Degong's article, Liu Biao was so angry that he fell ill again on the bed.His illness also forced the end of the battle on the front line in Nanyang County.Kuai Yue Kuai Liang, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others once again gained the upper hand and took control of power.

In October of the 12th year of Jian'an, Liu Biao's condition worsened and he died in Xiangyang!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++
Liu Biao's death caused the whole Jingzhou to fall into panic.

Who will take over Liu Biao's position?

This has become a topic of concern to everyone.

In terms of age, it is natural that Liu Qi should take over Jing Xiang.He is not only the eldest son of Liu Biao, but also came with Liu Biao when he was stationed in Jingzhou, and accompanied Liu Biao through the initial difficult times.Therefore, regardless of age and qualifications, Liu Qi is sufficient to take up the post of Jingzhou Shepherd.

However, Liu Qi has a brother!
Liu Cong was young, but he has always been loved by Liu Biao...

Moreover, behind Liu Cong, there is a huge Jingxiang family as the backer, supporting him to take over Jingzhou.

Cai Mao, the governor of the Jingzhou Navy, was Liu Cong's uncle.The 20 sailors in Jingzhou are all in the hands of Cai Mao, which has become Liu Cong's greatest support.

At the same time, Liu Qi was far away in Jiangxia, and was entangled by Li Tong and Yu Jin.

Although he invited Guan Yu and Ma Liang to help him, but he wanted to repel Li Tong Yujin, but he could not succeed in a short time.This also made Liu Qi not by his side when Liu Biao died of illness.If he is not in Xiangyang, he will not be able to control the current situation, which has become his biggest weakness at present...

"My lord, Liu Biao is about to die. The gods have bestowed upon Jingzhou my lord's foundation. Don't miss this opportunity."

In Fancheng County, Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Bei eagerly.

But Liu Bei showed a look of embarrassment, and said in a soft voice: "Kong Ming, now that Jing is promoted, I will take his inheritance, which would be a violation of morality."

"Lord!"

Zhuge Liang was in a hurry, "Now, don't hesitate.

Cao Cao has beheaded Yuan Xi and pacified Liaodong.If he returns to his teacher, he will take the nine counties of Jingxiang.What's more, Cao Peng, a wolf with ambition, stares covetously at Nanyang County.Duke Jing Sheng was still alive, so he still had some concerns.But now that Duke Jing Sheng has passed away, he definitely won't miss this opportunity. "

"That……"

Liu Bei said softly, "I'm afraid Mrs. Cai may not agree."

Zhuge Liang said: "I have a plan, so that the Lord's soldiers can take over Jingzhou without bloodshed."

"Kong Ming, is the plan going out?"

Zhuge Liangliang nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Now Liu Jingzhou has died of illness, and Xiangyang is in chaos.

The lord can take the excuse of mourning Liu Jingzhou and lead his troops to Xiangyang.Yi Jibo is in Xiangyang City and can be used as domestic aid.When the time comes, we will attack from inside and outside, and take advantage of the fact that the Cai family has not yet stabilized, and take Xiangyang City in one fell swoop.Then he ordered his uncle to go to Changsha with the tiger talisman, and sent Zishan to Wuling to occupy the four counties in southern Jing.At that time, the lord will ask the eldest son to return to Xiangyang and let the second general guard Jiangxia, and Jingzhou will be at your fingertips. "

As the saying goes, surprise and cover up.

Take Xiangyang first, and then welcome Liu Qi back...

With Liu Qi's order in charge of Jingxiang, even the Jingxiang family has no choice.

But in fact, once Liu Qi returns to Xiangyang, it will be difficult to take the initiative again.This is also Liu Bei's best choice at the moment...

Zhuge Liang's strategy can be said to be another version of serving the emperor to order the princes.

Bless Liu Qi to govern Xiangyang.

Liu Bei was silent for a while, and after a while, he gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind.

"Since this is the case, follow Kong Ming's plan.

However, you still need to send someone to contact Yi Jibo.

Seven days later, you and Mr. Ji Bo will join forces inside and out to seize Xiangyang... Remember, don't kill the second son, only get rid of the first traitor. "

This inverse is Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others.

Zhuge Liang immediately felt relieved, bowed and said, "My lord, don't worry, it doesn't matter how important it is."
