Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 242 Liu Biao's Decision

Li Song carefully looked at the five people who were brought before him. The one on the left was Chen Qingzhi, who was dressed in a white robe and elegantly dressed, and next to Chen Qingzhi was a middle-aged man in bright armor.

Yue Fei stood among the four of them. The first one on Yue Fei's right was Yi Sun-sin, who was wearing the costume of a scholar-bureaucrat in the Joseon period of Lee's family.

Li Song said to the five people: "I don't know why the five strong men want to see the truth?"

"I want to report to the Prime Minister! I'm here to join the army, and I hope the Prime Minister will allow it." Chen Qingzhi, the ghost general in white robes, said with a salute.

"Okay! Welcome to join the five strong men." Li Song responded directly, without the slightest sense of disobedience, everything will happen naturally, without the slightest nonsense, these are heroes summoned by the system, and there is no need for careful inquiry at all.

"Thank you, Prime Minister!" The five people clasped their fists in salute.

"I wonder if the five strong men are from there?" Li Song asked.

"Prime Minister Qi! I'm Wanyan Zongbi, everyone calls me Jin Wushu! I'm Yilou Renshi." Li Song didn't expect that Jin Wushu, the Fourth Prince of the Kingdom of Jin, would be the first to speak.

Yilou is the name of the Jurchen people from the Han Dynasty to the Jin Dynasty. It was called Wuji (pronounced "Moji") in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Heishui Mohe in the Sui to Tang Dynasties, and "Jurchen" and "Nvzhi" in the Liao to Jin Dynasties. (Avoiding the true taboo of Xingzong Yeluzong of Liao Dynasty), until the Ming Dynasty, they still called themselves Jurchen. Later, Huang Taiji changed the Jurchen family to Manchuria, or Manchu for short.

There are still people who claim to be the descendants of the Jurchen people, thinking that they are different from the Manchu people. The name "Jurchen" was first seen in the early Tang Dynasty. "Jurchen" was divided into three parts: Jianzhou Jurchen, Haixi Jurchen, and Savage Jurchen in the early Ming Dynasty.

Li Song nodded, looked at the rest of the group, and the four of them stood up and reported to the family.

"I'm Li Sunchen, courtesy name Ruxie, from Kaesong, Daifang County, Youzhou." Li Sunchen said.

"My name is Yue Fei, whose surname is Pengju, and a family name from Dangyin County, Jizhou." Yue Fei said.

"I'm under Liu Rengui, with regular characters, from Liang Guowei's family." Liu Rengui.

"I'm Chen Qingzhi, whose name is Ziyun, from the family of Guoshan in Wujun." Chen Qingzhi said.

After the five people reported their families, Li Song directly appointed them as school captains, and asked Liu Rengui and Li Shunchen to go to Lujiang County to work under Gan Ning's command. After all, they are admirals in the navy, so they were naturally sent to Gan Ning's navy .

Jin Wushu asked him to lead the cavalry, and assigned him to Yu Wencheng. After all, nomads are as easy to ride as eating, Yue Fei was assigned to Xue Rengui, and the rest of Chen Qingzhi was assigned to Luo Cheng. Let them all wear white robes.

Liu Biao, the lord of Jingzhou's seven prefectures and 110 seven counties in Xiangyang City, the southern county of Jingzhou's administrative office, urgently summoned his civil and military staff to discuss matters.

Liu Biao's staff didn't know why Liu Biao suddenly called them back urgently. Before Liu Biao showed up, there was a lot of discussion.

"My lord is here!" Just as everyone was discussing, a shout came from outside the door.

Everyone hastily arranged their attire, and sat upright on the mats. The hall that had been whispering just now became completely silent in an instant. Liu Biao, the lord of Jingzhou, walked slowly from outside the door.

They came to sit on the mat at the head seat, and after Liu Biao sat down on his knees, a group of civil and military staff bowed down and said, "My lord!"

"Excuse me!" Liu Biao said, everyone stood up, Liu Biao continued: "This time I have called you together, I have something to discuss with you."

"I wonder if my lord has something important to discuss with us?" Biao Liu's brother-in-law Cai Mao bowed his hands.

"Now, Li Song has already conquered Yecheng, conquered all the lands of Jizhou and Qingzhou, and his strength is gradually strengthening. After he conquers Yuan Shang in the north, I'm afraid that Jingzhou will not be safe!"

"Yesterday, Sun Quan from Jiangdong sent someone secretly to unite with me to fight against Li Song. I hope I can send troops to help him deal with Li Song's navy in Jiangdong. What do you think we should do?" Liu Biao said.

"My lord! In my opinion! It's better to rely on Li Song for the whole state. Li Song will definitely treat the lord seriously; in this way, you can enjoy blessings forever, and your children and grandchildren can live in peace and stability. This is the real surefire strategy."

"Sun Quan is just a dead bone in the grave, and he cannot protect himself. In time, Gan Ning will definitely destroy him, and the six counties in the east of the Yangtze River will also fall into the hands of Li Song. If we send troops to help, Li Song will definitely be dissatisfied. If he abandons Youzhou, Instead, march into Jingzhou, my lord may not be able to resist his advance." Zhonglang Han Song said.

After Han Song finished speaking, Kuai Yue bowed his hands and saluted, "My lord! It's great to be a Zhonglang! Although my lord has a crowd of [-] people, he has never been in battle, and most of them are soldiers from the south. How can you compare with those from the north?" Brave and aggressive."

"If Li Song abandons Yuan Shang in Youzhou and gathers a large army to come towards our Jingzhou, only [-] tigers and wolves will be able to sweep away the [-] people in Jingzhou. Please be enlightened, my lord."

After hearing this, Liu Biao frowned, and looked at the two of them with a bit of unkindness. These two people are the chief of others' ambitions, destroying my prestige!What's the reason, you plan to surrender before this battle is fought?Could it be that they are secretly seeking refuge with Li Song, trying to conspire against me in Jingzhou?

Don't you know after you try it, Liu Biao rolled his eyes and made up his mind: "A man was born in a troubled world, how can he live in a corner! Take care of the world!"

"I thought about it again and again! I decided to compete with the princes of the world to see if I can rejuvenate the Han Dynasty. In this way, after a hundred years, I will have the face to meet my ancestors."

"I decided to send troops to capture Wancheng, use it as a frontier stronghold, and then annex Runan and other counties. What do you think?"

As long as you dare to stand up and oppose, then you will take refuge in Li Song, and if you dare to betray me, don't blame me, Liu Biao, for not being affectionate.

"My lord!" Kuai Yue bowed his hands and said, "In my opinion! Our army should first capture Wancheng, capture Wuyin, Ye County and other counties to enter Wuyang, and march all the way to Xuchang."

"Before Li Song reacts, Xuchang City's defenses are weak! Break through Xuchang in one fell swoop, welcome the emperor to Xiangyang, and then use this to order the world! My lord, Sanxing the Han Dynasty can succeed!"

"That's right!" As soon as Kuai Yue's voice fell, Han Song saluted and said: "Our army can also send naval forces to join forces with Sun Quan to capture the six counties in the east of the Yangtze River. Using this as a backup, we can attack the states in advance, and the Yangtze River is dangerous in retreat! No fear and anyone."

After hearing this, Liu Biao became even more confused. Could it be that I wrongly blamed them?They never thought of betraying me at all, I was paranoid about everything.

Liu Biao thought over and over again, but did not accept their suggestion, but had another plan.

"Now that Wancheng is empty, I decided to send troops to capture Wancheng and Nanyang County, and bring them all under my control. As for taking the opportunity to seize Xuchang, I will talk about it later."

"As for the matter of uniting with Sun Quan, I ordered Huang Zu to lead the navy to harass the Ganning navy and not to take the initiative to fight," Liu Biao said.

Liu Biao's orders are all for self-protection. Once there is no threat to him, he will no longer have the intention to make progress.
