Liu Zhang could only suppress the surprise for the time being. He wanted to confirm whether Huo Jun was sincerely surrendering.
There are too few people like Huo Jun who leave the family to work for other forces.
As far as Liu Zhang knew, Huo Du was a short-lived man. After Huo Du's death, Liu Biao handed over his songs to Huo Jun.
This shows that the Huo family's status in Jingzhou can better reflect Huo Jun's status in the Huo family.
Liu Zhang never believed that no one in the Huo family could inherit these parts, or that Liu Biao did not want these parts.
Wei Yan was also shocked after hearing Liu Zhang's doubts.
He knew that Huo Jun's family was prominent, but he didn't expect that his eldest brother was under Liu Biao's command!
Now that Huo Jun's identity has been confirmed, he would be suspected of being a spy if he joined Liu Zhang.
Wei Yan never expected that in just a few words, his benefactor would soon drag him down!
"Lord..."
It was a pity that Liu Zhang didn't give Wei Yan a chance to speak, so he stretched out his hand to interrupt him, and then stared at Huo Jun.
Huo Jun did not expect that his identity would be revealed so quickly. Fortunately, he has a strong psychological quality and remains calm at the moment.
"Reporting to General Wei, the statement that my brother is under Liu Biao's command is really biased. In fact, when Wang Rui was the governor of Jingzhou, my brother was already serving in Nanjun."
"As for who my brother is under, my brother really can't make the decision. Whoever your Majesty sends to be the pastor of Jingzhou will naturally be my brother's boss."
Huo Jun answered very cleverly. He not only explained that Huo Du was a Han official, but also established a relationship with Liu Biao.
However, judging from Liu Zhang's silent attitude, Huo Jun knew that this was not enough to convince him.
"These are troubled times, and troubled times are a great opportunity to make contributions! Huo Jun has studied military science since he was a child, how can he sit at home and do nothing? I heard that General Wei issued a recruitment order and sincerely invited talents from all over the world to help the Han Dynasty! Huo Jun is not talented.
I dare not call him a talent, but I am determined to help the Han Dynasty, so I came to Yizhou!"
Huo Jun's words were enough to clearly express his intention, but Liu Zhang wanted to chat with him more.
"If you want to help the Han Dynasty, you don't have to be from Yizhou. Isn't Liu Biao from Jingzhou a member of the Han Dynasty?"
"Your brother is an official under Liu Biao. If he recommends you to Liu Biao, wouldn't you get more opportunities to put it to use? Or do you think your talent is enough to impress me and make me use you more than Liu Biao?"
After Liu Zhang finished asking, he looked at Huo Jun again and saw him chuckle, and then there was a trace of contempt in his eyes.
"To be honest, I don't want to stay in Jingzhou and waste my time. Although Liu Jingsheng and General Wei are both members of the Han clan, they are far different from General Wei! To put it bluntly, Liu Biao has no ambition!"
Liu Zhang never imagined that Liu Biao, who had reached such a high level in the hearts of the Jingzhou family, would be so bad that a young man in his early twenties would show such a look.
"Liu Biao is one of the Eight Heroes, and his talents and knowledge are recognized by the world. A few years ago, Liu Biao sent 60,000 troops to attack Yizhou in two groups. He is not as bad as you said, right?"
Hearing Liu Zhang's defense to Liu Biao, Huo Jun became even more dismissive.
"Liu Biao is weak, incompetent, and extremely stupid. If he had even a hint of blood, he wouldn't have caused Jingzhou to fall into such division!"
"Split! When did Jingzhou split? Isn't Zhong Miao kidding?"
The sudden news from Huo Jun really shocked Liu Zhang.
It is true that Liu Zhang looked down on Liu Biao, but he never relaxed about the situation in Jingzhou. Although he did not know everything about the situation in Jingzhou, he would definitely know about such a big split.
"This is already an undisclosed secret among the Jingzhou family. It is normal for General Wei not to know about it. This all started five years ago!"
"In the past, after Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others failed to attack Yizhou, Liu Biao completely broke away from the Jingzhou family in dealing with follow-up issues. Later, under the control of the Cai and Kuai families, Jingnan Zhang Xian led Changsha, Wuling, and Ling
The four counties of Ling and Guiyang rebelled. The intention was also very obvious, and Liu Biao completely lost his authority as a pastor in Jingzhou."
"I never thought that Liu Biao hid Wenpin's ten thousand troops in Jiangbei, and then Liu Pan took command and went to Changsha with Wenpin as his deputy. This was originally a battle without any suspense. With the intervention of Cai Mao and others, Zhang Xian even
If you don't do anything, Liu Pan will not be able to escape the fate of being defeated and killed!"
"But Zhang Xian refused to listen and insisted on leaving the city for a decisive battle, which gave Wenpin an opportunity. Zhang Xian died, and Liu Pan immediately divided the four counties. The plan of Cai Mao, Kuai Liang and others failed. Due to the power of the Jingnan family,
Weakness also gave Liu Biao an area of actual control in Jingzhou."
"If General Wei faced this situation, how would he choose to act?"
Unexpectedly, Huo Jun would come to test him, which made Liu Zhang stunned.
Huo Jun was a very capable person. Since he was willing to test, Liu Zhang naturally accepted it generously.
In fact, Liu Zhang already knew what Huo Jun said. This was all news a few years ago, but he didn't know about the split of Jingzhou.
"If I were Liu Biao, it would be impossible for me to launch a war against Yizhou, let alone break up with the Jingzhou family because of some petty profits. I would try my best to gradually increase my control without openly confronting the family.
."
"If it really comes to the point you said, I will temporarily reconcile with the clan, then escape from Nanjun in the name of the Southern Patrol, directly choose to take over Changsha, and then rely on Xu Tu, the four counties in Jingnan, to counterattack Jiangbei."
"It is true that the four counties in Jingnan are remote, but they still have a population of more than 1.5 million. If we work hard, how can we not win over the small Nanjun?"
Since we are in troubled times, the best way to solve the problem is always fists, swords and guns. If you only rely on negotiation, you will only become more and more weak!
Liu Zhang's thoughts are very clear. Unless Cai Mao, Kuai Liang and others are defeated with real swords and guns, it will never be clear who is the master of Jingzhou.
"General Wei is worthy of being a hero in troubled times, always full of ambition!"
There was a hint of admiration in Huo Jun's eyes, and he was filled with admiration for Liu Zhang's act of breaking off his wrist.
"If Liu Biao had half as much courage as General Wei, no, even one-tenth of his courage, he wouldn't have stayed in Xiangyang all day waiting to die!"
From Huo Jun's expression, Liu Zhang could see not only resentment, but also deep disappointment.
Perhaps it was because he could no longer see any future in Jingzhou that Huo Jun chose to leave his family and career all the way!
"So what's going on in Jingzhou right now?"
Liu Zhang was most concerned about the current situation in Jingzhou. Once it was really split, it would undoubtedly give Jiangdong Sun Ce an opportunity to take advantage of.
The two had a grudge against killing their father, and the latter was known as the little bully. Liu Zhang absolutely did not believe that Sun Ce would miss any opportunity.
