Lou Gui was stunned for a moment, as if he heard the subtle difference between 'subordinate' and 'ruling'. He slowly lowered his eyelids and said nothing. After a long while, he said again: "The Pang family is a big family in Jingxiang, and Pang Degong is also
Make good friends with all the famous people in Hannan...Huang Chengyan is also among them. Even if you are hesitant in your heart, please stop being hesitant."
Huang Chengyan was a well-known scholar in Miannan who lived leisurely and scattered. He was the son-in-law of Cai Xi, the chief official of Nanjun, and the brother-in-law of Cai Mao, the prefect of Nanjun. He was related by marriage to Liu Biao. Although he was from Nanjun, he had some connections with the Huang family of Jiangxia... Among the Huang family of Jiangxia
, apart from the current Huang Zu who guards Jiangxia for Liu Biao, the current Situ Huang Wan is the most famous.
Among these relationships, Liu Biao would often feel troubled and troubled once the intricate local network of powerful people was involved, not to mention the important officials of the imperial court involved, which made him helpless.
"Huang Chengyan and Pang Degong are both men of high moral character and reputation. However, I have tried many times to make friends with them, but nothing has come of them." Liu Biao's eyes flickered for a few times, and he said with a little regret: "In the end, it's because I, Liu Jingsheng, am not famous enough, Qi
Ji will not jump through my door."
After coming to Jingzhou for so many years, Liu Biao quickly became famous with his personal charm and talents, and gained their recognition and support. He gradually consolidated his power and became a veritable shepherd of Jingzhou. In terms of power and position, Liu Biao has since
He claimed that he was not inferior to the late Liu Yan, the shepherd of Yizhou, but was better than Liu Yu at the time; in terms of power and tactics, he was compared with Liu Yanfu's method of attacking the big families in the state as soon as he entered Yizhou, and he divided them and attacked them.
, knocking and beating, it’s like spring breeze turns into rain.
Therefore, Liu Yan died of illness and his reputation was ruined, but he was still able to stand in Jingchu, and even had enough capital and many opportunities to choose any path in front of him. Is it just different luck?
"Pang Degong sent an unknown boy to Yingchuan to meet Sima Decao. Others seemed to be seeking fame for him, but I didn't think so." In this era, it was common for celebrities to compliment each other and enhance each other's reputation. Pang Degong and
Sima Hui had been friends with Sima Hui in his early years. On the surface, this move seemed to be a plan to accumulate fame for Pang Tong and then successfully serve as an official. However, in Liu Biao's view, especially the connection between Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan, Huang Zu and the Jiangxia Huang family, there was a hidden secret behind it.
The context made him wary and angry: "Sima Hui is not the only one in Yingchuan. I have no idea who he met in Yingchuan or what he said. I don't blame him for contacting Yingchuan officials. I am
I'm thinking, I, Liu Jingsheng, am also the Zhennan General and Jingzhou Mu whom the imperial court officially worships. They want to bring Jingzhou's strength to serve the imperial court. They just want to discuss it with me. Why are they hiding it from me? It makes me have ulterior motives in the eyes of the world.
."
After the death of Emperor Xiaoling, Liu Biao would always be grateful for his luck every time he thought about the Liu clan in the world. Liu Yan spent all his efforts to control Yizhou and returned it to the court with his own hands before his death;
Despite the grievances, it was only a little easier to deal with the change to Bingzhou in the past two years; as for Liu Dai and Liu Bei, let alone mention them.
It's just that in comparison, their misfortune is their own luck, because they don't have overbearing generals to contradict them everywhere; Jingzhou is quiet, and there are no bandits raging. But their luck is their own misfortune, because they are in
After eradicating the clan thieves in the state, he chose to cooperate with the powerful people in the state.
The policy of Huairou led to the prosperity and stability of Jingzhou. Every year, tens of thousands of people went south due to war and famine. In the past two years, as Guanzhong and Yuzhou became more stable, not only did the number of refugees fleeing decrease, but they also tended to return. At the same time, it also caused
Liu Hao was strong and powerful, and gradually became unable to lose his power. Liu Biao sometimes had to rely on them to maintain his power.
As a native of Nanyang, Lou Gui just mentioned the relationship between Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan and others, and he also pointed to Liu Biao tactfully out of good intentions. At this time, he quickly raised his hand: "Your Majesty, please don't say that! Famous people often have contacts with each other.
, discussing government affairs, the status of people, and have always been a source of discussion for scholars. Now that the world is in chaos, it is just before sunrise and dawn is not clear, so it is normal for them to have some considerations. "
Seeing Liu Biao's raised eyebrows, Lou Gui continued: "However, Pang Degong, Huang Chengyan and others are all noble and indifferent people. If they want to become officials, they could have been ministers more than ten years ago, so why wait until today?"
"I hesitated." Liu Biao glanced at the earthen basin next to the charcoal stove. The green grass blades seemed to be more energetic next to the warm charcoal fire. He nodded, changed his tone and said: "At the beginning,
The imperial court mobilized Xu Huang and other troops to cross the border to attack Yuan Shu. I shouldn't have been procrastinating and procrastinating on food and grass for a while. I was negligent for a while, but people were talking about it. This was really not my intention! That's why they doubted me, jealous of me, and even did this.
I don’t care if things avoid me, but I won’t let them force me to do this or that!”
Lou Gui was startled, and quickly lowered his head. From the corner of his eye, he saw that the grass buds in the basin had already been reflected red by the firelight. Years ago, Liu Biao was wary of Xu Huang's crossing the border, and he was restrained at every turn.
, violated the imperial edict, and finally caused Xu Huang to turn against the guest and lead Nanyang as governor; former general Zhu Geng took advantage of the winter snow to go south to Yingchuan to help Xu Huang consolidate the Nanyang garrison and expel some officials.
Jingzhou was punished by the emperor because of Liu Biao's stupid move. A group of scholars like Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan who had long disagreed with Liu Biao naturally had their minds wandering and made plans.
"Zibo, Liu Junlang died of illness within ten months, and the counties in Yizhou returned to the imperial rule. Except for the battle between Hanzhong and Zhongzhong, is it really the work of the Northern and Southern Army?" Liu Yan made Luan Yu in Yizhou and colluded with the bandits.
Liu Biao wrote to expose the evil intentions and other matters. He was always paying attention to the war in Yizhou. Even during the imperial court's crusade against Yizhou, he even tried to send Liu He to Jiangzhou to get a share of the pie in the name of helping the war. Who
Knowing that the imperial troops were advancing quickly, Yizhou surrendered with almost no resistance: "Now they still want to repeat their old tricks and force me to submit. Even if I have this intention, I can't let them lead me away!"
"Only, only." Lou Gui sighed secretly, knowing that although Liu Biao had no intention of being independent now, he had lost his temper and refused to follow Pang Degong and the others. Fortunately, Liu Biao could see the situation clearly and stood by without hesitation.
Otherwise, the internal differences in Jingzhou would be enough to cause chaos.
"Zhu Gongwei's move south is just a false move. They have to deal with Yuan Shao of Hebei. How dare they lead troops south to seek trouble for me?" Liu Biao suddenly said: "Huang Zu said several times that he would lead troops to attack Yuzhang, but today he did what he wanted.
, ordered him to order all his troops and horses to cross the river and meet that Wu Xia Sun Lang for a while!"
