Liu Zhang asked so eagerly about the internal situation in Jingzhou that Huo Jun did not dare to talk about it anymore and immediately told the truth.
"After the four counties in Jingnan were conquered by Liu Pan, it caused a great shock in Xiangyang, and Liu Pan was even praised as a famous general who could not be seen in a century!"
"snort..."
Liu Zhang couldn't bear it anymore and could only sneer at the idea that Liu Pan was a famous general.
Liu Pan was at best very brave. He couldn't defeat Taishi Ci in his heyday. Besides, the battle in Changsha was clearly a result of Wen's appointment. How could Liu Pan dare to steal the title of a famous general?
"Does Liu Pan really consider himself a famous general?"
Huo Jun nodded awkwardly, he also admired Liu Pan's shamelessness.
"Yes, Jiangdong Sun Ce took advantage of the civil strife in Jingnan and wanted to get involved in Jingzhou, so he sent Zhou Yu to lead an army of 10,000 from Yuzhang to invade Changsha. Liu Pan took the 30,000 surrendered army to the decisive battle, but was defeated by Zhou Yu several times, even more so.
Ancheng and Chaling counties were lost. Fortunately, Liu Pan suddenly came to his senses and defended You County. Zhou Yu had few soldiers and insufficient food and grass, so the crisis in Jingnan was resolved."
No wonder Huo Jun was so angry when he mentioned Jingzhou, Liu Pan ruined the good situation!
"Didn't the Jingzhou family take the opportunity to cause trouble?"
"Why not! Hey!"
Huo Jun sighed heavily, his expression even more depressed.
"Cai Mao and Kuai Liang have united the major families in Jingzhou, including our Huo family, and reached a consensus. Cai Mao and Kuai Liang are going to take advantage of Liu Pan's defeat to completely drive Liu Biao's forces out of Jingnan."
Liu Zhang never expected that so many things happened in Jingzhou a few years ago!
However, the war must not have started in the end, otherwise Yizhou would have received the news long ago.
"If this battle starts completely, then Liu Biao and the family will be completely at odds, and the entire Jingzhou will fall into long-term turmoil. At this crisis, Huang Chengyan, the head of the Huang family, and Pang Degong, who had been hiding for many years, stood up.
With the efforts of the two of them, Jingzhou resolved this crisis!"
Liu Zhang nodded slightly. Huang Chengyan and Pang Degong had extraordinary status in Jingzhou. If they stood up, no matter who they were, they would give some face.
"What's the final result? Since Cai Mao and Kuai Liang are ready to quarrel, it's impossible for them to give up and make peace with Liu Biao just because of their words, right?"
If Cai Mao and Kuai Liang really back down because of what Huang Chengyan and Pang Degong said, the appearance of the Jingzhou family may have to change in the future.
"General Wei was indeed wise, and finally Liu Biao drew a boundary with the aristocratic family. Jingzhou was bounded by the Yangtze River. The land north of the Yangtze River was managed by the aristocratic family, and the land south of the Yangtze River was managed by Liu Biao. However, the state pastoral office still had to be set up in Xiangyang, and Liu Biao had to stay there all the time.
In the Prefectural Shepherd’s Mansion.”
"No wonder...no wonder..."
Now Liu Zhang's doubts were all understood. A few years ago, Liu Qi suddenly became the governor of Changsha. He still felt strange why Cai Mao and Kuai Liang would sit back and watch Liu Biao's son get involved in the land of Jingnan.
As a result, not long after, Liu Cong became the prefect of Wuling again, and the two brothers completely cut off the north and the south!
It seems that it is all part of this transaction!
"Liu Biao's move can be described as cutting off his tail to survive, and he has no choice..."
On the contrary, Liu Zhang felt that Liu Biao had done a good job, at least leaving a way for his two sons to survive, and also leaving a glimmer of hope for the Liu family in Jingzhou.
As for Liu Qi and Liu Cong, whether Liu Cong has the ability to defend Jingnan and whether he has the ability to recover the entire Jingzhou is beyond Liu Biao's control.
If you really look at it this way, Liu Biao today is far wiser than Liu Biao in history!
"Hey! General Wei doesn't know something! Maybe Liu Biao did have some ambitions five years ago, but at this moment, he has completely lost his ambition!"
"What happened again?"
Liu Zhang couldn't help but cry out in surprise. He didn't expect that so many things would happen in Jingzhou, and the changes had far exceeded the trajectory of history.
"Since the peace talks with the aristocratic family, all the land in Jiangbei has been controlled by the aristocratic family. Liu Jingsheng simply gave up on himself, indulged in pleasure all day long, and no longer cared about political affairs. Not only did he spend his time with wine and sex, but he also gave birth to a son with Cai Mao's sister.
!”
"I don't know if it's Liu Jingsheng's old eyesight, or Cai Hao and others' coercion and inducement, but now Liu Jingsheng wants to make his youngest son the crown prince! He is trying to recall Liu Qi and Liu Cong to Xiangyang to clear the way for his youngest son!"
Liu Zhang was stunned in surprise. Not only him, but also Lu Su was shocked.
"Liu Biao gave birth to another son, and we didn't get any news at all!"
Liu Zhang really admired Jingzhou's confidentiality work. It took at least a year from Cai's pregnancy to the birth of her child. During this year, no news was leaked!
However, Liu Zhang couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, was this son Liu Biao's...
"Zhong Miao, do Liu Qi and Liu Cong know the news?"
Huo Jun shook his head, his eyes very sure.
"I definitely don't know. Very few people know about this matter. Our Huo family was informed by Cai Hao because of our status in Nanjun and because my eldest brother has troops."
"Now that Liu Cong has gone to Xiangyang alone, this trip will definitely be like a sheep falling into a tiger's mouth..."
If Liu Biao was determined to let his youngest son take over, then one can imagine Liu Cong's situation.
"Where is Liu Qi? Has he gone?"
Liu Zhang definitely didn't want Liu Qi to go. If Liu Qi stayed in Changsha, he would always be involved in Jingzhou.
At present, the trajectory of history continues to deflect. Who knows whether Jingzhou will cause trouble again during his Northern Expedition.
"went."
It's a pity that Huo Jun nodded towards Liu Zhang.
"Why..."
Liu Zhang was extremely depressed. As long as Liu Qi set foot on the land of Jiangbei, he would probably be controlled by Cai Mao immediately.
It is estimated that it will be difficult in this life to return to Changsha again...
"However, Liu Qi failed to go and was stopped by someone."
"You...tell everything next time!"
Liu Zhang was really speechless. This twist and turn was really unpleasant.
"General Wei, forgive me!"
Huo Jun quickly handed over his hand and apologized. He just answered Liu Zhang's question and did not mean to appease Liu Zhang.
"never mind!"
Liu Zhang waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to pay attention.
"Does Zhong Miao know who stopped Liu Qi?"
Who knew the conspiracy of Cai Mao and others in advance? The identity of the person who blocked it immediately aroused Liu Zhang's curiosity.
There should be no aristocratic family in Jingzhou who is willing to offend Cai Mao and help Liu Qi. The Jingnan aristocratic family is not strong and will definitely not get internal information in Xiangyang.
This person must live in Jiangbei, otherwise he would never be able to know the inside story. At the same time, he can find out the internal secrets of Jingzhou, and he is not a member of a noble family.
Who is willing to take the risk and go against the Jingzhou family and Liu Biao of the Prefectural Mufu to help a son whose talent is not outstanding and who was abandoned by Liu Biao himself?
