Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 802 The Declining Gentlemen

In Dangyang, Zhou Xin discussed with Duanmuling, Sha Zan and others that when Cao Cao entered Jingzhou, Liu Bei traveled from Xinye to Jiangling. There is no way to escape, and thanks to 20 civilians as human shields, and Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei fighting desperately, Liu Bei was able to escape.

When it comes to riding tigers and leopards, Duanmuling can't help sighing, two hundred miles a day is really amazing.Qu Ping said with a smile: "The tiger and leopard riders have already been wiped out in ashes, so what's the point?"

Sha Zan shook his head: "Zifan is not boasting about tiger and leopard cavalry, but that I am far away from the river, and I have no advantage in water battles. There are no good cavalry in the army."

Duanmuling looked at Sha Zan, you still understand me.

A few days ago, I came to report that the flow of the Han River was greatly reduced, and it was difficult for the warships in the army to go north. To restrain the navy.

Zhou Xin asked: "I heard earlier that there are four major families in Jingzhou, Kuai, Cai, Huang, and Pang. I don't know how these four families are doing now?" He was very concerned about the gentry in Jingzhou.

Duanmuling had been in charge of a secret espionage department, so he knew something about it. "The three brothers of the Kuai family, Kuai Liang had no descendants, and Kuai Qi's family died in the hands of Meng Da. Only Kuai Yue had a son, Kuai Jun, who guarded Xiangyang and shot Xingba."

Kuai Jun could be killed just by this one, and Zhou Xin was worried that he had no excuse to cut off the four big families.

"The three brothers of the Cai family, Cai Mao died of illness, Cai Zhong and Cai He died in Chibi. There are no more outstanding people, and the clan has scattered and there is no trace to be found. If the pacification envoy wants to investigate carefully, he can order Jin Yiwei to command the southern emissary Mu Nan to do it."

"In the Huang family, Huang's grandfather and his son died early. Huang Chengyan only had one daughter who married Zhuge Liang and entered Sichuan. Although Huang Chengyan stayed in Jingzhou, he died a few years ago. The few remaining members of his family moved to South Vietnam with Sun Quan."

"Pang family, Mr. Pang De lives in seclusion, and he is afraid that he is not alive. His nephew Pang De followed Liu Bei and died in Sichuan. His son Pang Shanmin followed Cao Cao. I heard that Cao Pi appointed him as the servant of the Huangmen. In Luoyang."

The four major families with power in Jingzhou, who died or scattered, are a thing of the past.Zhou Xin sighed softly, Jingzhou changed hands repeatedly between Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan, and the wars continued, the four major families were hard to escape, let alone the common people. "Aside from the four major clans, what other big clans are there in Jingzhou?"

Duanmuling thought for a while and replied: "There are as many gentry families in Jingzhou. One is the Sima family. Sima Hui, a well-known scholar in Jingzhou, is known as Mr. Shui Jing. It is said that he is a collateral branch of the Sima family in Hanoi. This person is indifferent to the world, and he is also known as Mr. Haohao."

"The second is the Ma family in Xiangyang. The five permanent members of the Ma family belong to Liu Bei. Ma Liang and Ma Di are dead, and the other three people don't know. The two brothers of the Xiang family, Xiang Lang and Xiang Chong also defected to Liu Bei."

"The third is the Hao family in Yiyang. Liu Bei occupied Jingzhou. Hao Pu led his people to submit to Liu Bei and was used as the prefect of Lingling. Later, he guarded Jiangling. He was deceived by Lu Meng both times. Guan Yu's loss of Jingzhou has a lot to do with this person. This person has already died. Belonging to Sun Quan. There is also the Wei family, that is, the clan of Wenchang."

"Fourth is the Liu family of Lingling. After Chibi, Liu Ba went to the prefect of Jiaozhi, the prefect of Jiaozhi, and later entered Sichuan as a minister. I heard that he died of illness many years ago. Jiang Wan of Lingling, Jiang Wan has already entered Sichuan."

"The fifth is the Kou family in Changsha, and his son is Liu Feng."

"The sixth is the Fei family of Jiangxia. Liu Yan married Fei's daughter, so the Fei family successively entered Sichuan. It is said that Fei Yi was very important to Zhuge Liang."

"The seventh is the Dong family of Nanjun. Dong He and Dong Yun's father and son are also in Sichuan. Dong He is gone, and Dong Yun has become an official."

"As for Wuling." Duanmuling looked at Sha Zan and did not continue.

The warlords were fighting, and the gentry turned to their favorite masters for safety. Liu Bei recruited mostly local gentry, while Cao Cao was mostly the sons of officials who moved to Jingzhou.

"Can the comforter know the four friends of Jingzhou?" Duanmuling asked.

"Xu Yuanzhi, Cui Zhouping, Shi Guangyuan, Meng Gongwei, these four are all important ministers of our great Han Dynasty."

"That's right. Apart from these four people, there are also Wang Can, Huang Xu, and Liao Hua who are also from Jingzhou. By the way, Deng Ai is also from Jingzhou."

"There are so many of them." Zhou Xin really didn't think about it, wondering if he should praise the outstanding people in Jingzhou.

The mouth of Duanmu Ling is like a river, like a few treasures.Zhou Xin couldn't help frowning, the land of Jingzhou was so intricate and complicated, no wonder Liu Biao couldn't keep it, there were many powerful people, and people's hearts were not in harmony.It's all right now, the Jingzhou gentry are almost wiped out, saving myself a lot of trouble.Sha Zan is not considered a rich family, but can only be regarded as a tyrant, and a tyrant who understands current affairs.

Qu Fengxian had been patient all the time, he didn't understand why Zhou Xin was so interested in the gentry, and asked Qu Ping in a low voice: "Li Hao has been away for more than half a month, why hasn't he come back, could it be that we have been waiting in Dangyang? "

Qu Ping whispered to his elder brother: "A few days ago, the appeasement envoy ordered me to transfer to Huang Xu. It is expected that when Huang Xu's soldiers arrive, it will be time for the northern attack."

Zhou Xin's infantry was only [-], and he did not plan to recruit the navy and land for battle. Facts also proved that the navy was at a disadvantage in confronting the Wei army in the Jiangxia battle, so he sent people to Jiangxia to transfer Huang Xu's troops. The losses in the battle were heavy, and it may take half a month for Liao Hua to make up for it.

The two brothers spoke in a low voice, but Zhou Xin could hear him. He stopped asking questions about the gentry, and coughed lightly: "According to the Tan Ma Bao, Cao Pi returned to Luoyang and left Xia Hou still in Xiangyang. There are about [-] soldiers in Xiangyang, and nearly [-] in Fancheng. How do Zifan and Changsheng think they should march?"

Duanmuling didn't answer directly, but looked at Sha Zan: "Changsheng suggested that Wang Chuan be stationed in Zigui. I'm afraid it's not just for entering Sichuan, but for other purposes."

Sha Zan smiled sheepishly: "Zigui is close to the new city and can go directly to Shangyong. I don't know much about Meng Da. I only know that he used to be the prefect of Shangyong, and that he might be able to use him if he surrendered. I never wanted to appease the emissary and Zifan. They all think that Meng Da is unusable, and I don't know if the Duke can subdue this person."

Duanmuling shook his head, it's difficult!

Zhou Xin said: "I have thought about it too, but Meng Da is not trustworthy. It's just that Zigui is too important, so Wang Chuan was sent to accept him. Although Changsheng has a good understanding of intelligence, he doesn't know much about General Wei. Zifan will explain more in the future. It is."

Sha Zan said solemnly, "Be taught!" This was a valuable lesson for him.

"Since Huang Xu hasn't arrived yet, think about how to defeat the enemy." After the discussion failed, Zhou Xin changed the subject, "There is no hope for the autumn harvest in Jingnan this year, so Qu Ping will immediately go back to Jiangnan Road to gather food and grass..."

Qu Ping chuckled: "At this time, there is no need to worry about appeasement. The Duke has already made arrangements. The charity envoy Yuan Mai has already gone south, but he was retained by the old general Pei to help the refugees. In addition, he also sent a letter to appease the envoy. March with peace of mind, there will never be a shortage of military supplies, food and grass.”
