Cao Thief

Chapter 687 Jingzhou Change ([-])
In terms of position, Cao Peng and Li Tong are on the same level.

Nanyang County and Runan County are both upper counties with equal status.And Yiyang County was drawn from Runan County, which originally belonged to Xia County.However, due to its strategic location, it is listed as a middle county, so in terms of rank, Yu Jin's position is slightly lower than that of Cao Peng and Li Tong.

But the problem is that Yu Jin is a veteran of Yuan Cong.

When Cao Cao raised troops in Qiao County to attack Dong Zhuo, Yu Jin followed Cao Cao.

He participated in the battle of the 22 princes against Dong Zhuo, and also participated in the defeat of Cao Cao's pursuit of Dong Zhuo.Since then, Cao Cao based himself in Dongjun, conquered all the way, and Yu Jin followed him all the time. He made countless meritorious deeds and was deeply valued by Cao Cao.Therefore, in terms of seniority, no matter whether it is Cao Peng or Li Tong, they are far from being able to compare with Yu Jin.So in terms of status, Yu Jin is higher than Cao and Li.

If it is in the name of Cao Peng, Yu Jin is restrained, it is very likely that Yu Jin will be dissatisfied.

Therefore, Jia Xu decided to control the two of them by himself.He is the official governor of Yuzhou, and Runan and Yiyang counties are all under his rule, so it is logical.His status was originally higher than that of Li Tong and Li Tong, not to mention that he had the title of Marquis of Duting, and it was not that Yu and Li could be compared.Letting him control the two of them can also prevent Li Tong from feeling dissatisfied with Cao Peng in his heart.

Once Liu Biao died, Jingzhou became a mess.

Sun Quan stationing troops in Spring Valley at this time, in Jia Xu's view, was definitely not a normal move.

According to Sun Quan's temperament, it is impossible to make such a big fanfare.If he really wanted to send troops, the most likely way would be to take advantage of the navy and attack Ruxukou instead of stationing troops in Chungu County.If Sun Quan did not use troops, what was his purpose?Jia Xu was keenly aware that Sun Quan's garrison of troops in Chungu was just a cover, and his real purpose was to contain the soldiers in Huainan and force Yu Jin to withdraw his troops.

But why did he do this?

Yu Jin beat Jiang Xia, so what does it have to do with Sun Quan?
There can only be one answer, that is, Sun Quan reached an agreement with some people, so he did such a move.Who did he make a deal with?
Jia Xu felt inexplicable heart palpitations!
Cao Peng once said to Jia Xu: If Liu Bei wins Jingzhou, he will join forces with Sun Quan.

At that time, they can rely on the natural moat of the river to be a tripartite rival with the prime minister.If the prime minister can't get Jingxiang, Liu Bei will surely make his fortune.Therefore, this Jingzhou is the most important thing. If Jingzhou is not allowed, it will be a catastrophe sooner or later!
Sun Liu united, three pillars?
When Jia Xu heard Cao Peng's statement for the first time, his heart trembled.

He is also thinking about the general trend of the future. If the tripartite situation is formed, the world will be in chaos, and the battle will continue, and the lives will inevitably be ruined.

It was for this reason that he followed Cao Peng's idea.

But the risks involved are too great...

Days pass by.

Liu Biao's funeral is getting closer.

The atmosphere in Xiangyang City suddenly became a little dignified.Perhaps in order to prevent chaos, Cai Mao transferred Wang Wei back to Xiangyang and served as a captain of the Xiangyang Commander, responsible for the security of Xiangyang City.At the same time, Liu Bei brought Jian Yong from Fancheng to Xiangyang to participate in the first seven funerals.

Liu Bei is also a clan member of the Han Dynasty.

Counting, he and Liu Biao are also of the same clan.

Since he came, Mrs. Cai couldn't refuse.However, Mrs. Cai refused Liu Bei's troops to enter Xiangyang City on the grounds that Liu Biao's funeral was not suitable for stationing soldiers and horses in Xiangyang City.Mrs. Cai sent someone to say to Liu Bei: "If Mr. Xuande came to express your condolences sincerely, you can come alone. Why do you need to bring many soldiers and horses?"In Xiangyang City, the law and order is good, please rest assured, Mr. Xuande...

But the problem is that Mrs. Cai tried to murder Liu Bei's life many times before.

If it weren't for Liu Bei's luck, he would have died in Jiuquan long ago.

Therefore, from this point of view, it is not surprising that Liu Bei brought troops here.Now that Mrs. Cai has made her debut, how should you Liu Bei choose?

Liu Bei, of course, rejected Madam Cai's request.

My trilogy may not enter Xiangyang, but I will not enter either!
When Liu Biao's funeral is held tomorrow, I will go to the city again to express my condolences.But before that, I will be stationed outside the city... Maybe you, Mrs. Cai, dare to kill people and make trouble in the mourning hall!

Mrs. Cai had no choice but to agree.

In this way, Liu Bei set up camp outside the city, and only waited for the funeral ceremony to begin the next day before entering the city to express his condolences.

Nothing happened tonight!
The next day, at dawn, the city gate of Xiangyang was opened to let people go.

And in the government office of the prefecture, the mourning hall has already been prepared.Mrs. Cai was dressed in filial piety, and she took Liu Cong to kneel beside the spirit.Cai Mao and others are responsible for receiving guests.As time passed, there was an endless stream of horses and horses outside the gate of the prefecture's mansion, and representatives from all parties came to express their condolences.

"Shuijing Villa, Mr. Sima hangs a memorial ceremony!"

Outside the door, the master of ceremonies shouted.

I saw Sima Hui stepping into the mourning hall and bowing in front of the mourning hall.

Later, Pang Shanmin, the Lord Pang De of Lumen Mountain, came to pay homage to Liu Biao. Mrs. Cai, mother and son were beside the funeral, and respectfully saluted Pang Shanmin.

Liu Biao's funeral can be described as grand.

Basically, it is carried out according to the standards of the princes.

People from all walks of life in Jingzhou gathered in Xiangyang to pay homage.After saluting in the mourning hall, the retainers led them to rest in the side hall.

"Zirou, Liu Jingzhou is gone, who can be the master of Jingzhou?"

In the side hall, people gathered in groups of three or four and started talking in low voices.

To put it bluntly, the reason why so many people came to worship Liu Biao was that I was a little worried about the future development of Jingzhou.Once Liu Biao dies, where will Jingzhou go?It is a problem that no one can ignore.Some people have a plan, but some people are still confused.

As one of the representatives of the Jingxiang family, Kuai Liang's opinions naturally attracted the attention of many people.

As soon as he walked into the side hall, several people came forward immediately. After bowing their hands and saluting, a local celebrity in Xiangyang couldn't wait to ask.

After Kuai Liang pondered for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "My lord, the first seven days have not passed, so it is inappropriate to talk about this matter.

However, the Lord of Jingzhou is related to the future of Jingxiang... I personally think that Jingzhou affairs, Jing people rule, the second son is smart and gentle, he is the most suitable candidate. "

"Zirou, that's not right."

Yi Ji just came in, and when he heard Kuai Liang's words, he was immediately dissatisfied.

"Since ancient times, it has been an ominous omen to abolish the elder and establish the young. Now that the eldest son is still alive, how can you say that the second son will succeed?
The eldest son is the eldest son of the lord, and after coming to Jingzhou with the lord, he has also made great achievements.Now sitting in Jiangxia, with outstanding military achievements, how can he not be the lord of Jingzhou?If the second son succeeds to the throne, not to mention that it is not in accordance with the etiquette, but it is only the second son's age, how can he convince everyone?In my opinion, when there is an eldest son who takes over Jingxiang, the nine prefectures of Jingxiang will be in peace, just like when the lord is alive, there will be no worries. "

Kuai Liang sneered, "Young Master is stubborn and has a violent personality.

Although he is old, he lacks virtue; the second son is respectful by nature, has a famous bloodline, and has been taught by Gao Shi since he was a child. Why can't he be the master of Jingzhou? "

As they talked, they started arguing.

For a while, the side hall became lively, you said you were right, I said I was right, the two sides refused to give in, the more noisy the more intense...

Sima Hui sat aside, watching coldly.

He suddenly turned his head and said to Pang Shanmin, "Shanmin, something is wrong."

Pang Shanmin was startled, and quickly asked, "Why did you say that, sir?"

"Mr. Uncle Ji's emotions are too intense, not his usual style.

He quarreled with Zirou today, it seems that he intentionally provoked a quarrel... This matter is a bit abnormal, you and I should be more careful later. "

Pang Shanmin nodded after hearing this.

The two sat beside each other without speaking, quietly watching the development of the situation.

While Kuai Liang and Yi Ji were arguing endlessly, they suddenly heard a report from outside: "In Xiangyang City, there seems to be bandits sneaking into the city and making troubles everywhere. General Wang has brought people to investigate, but the situation is unknown at the moment. General Wang I am worried about accidents, so I ask the general to send more people to maintain the safety of the city."

Cai Mao was trying to persuade Kuai Liang and Yi Ji, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but turn pale with shock.

"Bo Xin, quickly lead people to investigate and assist Wang Weiqing in suppressing the culprits."

Zhang Yun nodded aside, without further ado, he immediately led people to support him.Sima Hui, who was just silently observing from the sidelines, had a look of deep doubt on his face.He felt that what happened today was really too weird!Whether it's Yi Ji, or Cai Hao and the others, they all seem to be acting...

Could it be that something big is going to happen today?
