After the farce, Liu Cong stopped mentioning Jin Xuan, the prefect of Wuling, and everyone continued drinking and talking.
"Prefect Liu, I defeated Jiangdong. Several counties still lack county magistrates. I would like to recommend your son to be the magistrate of Jianchang. I wonder what Prefect Liu thinks?" After a while, Liu Cong said to Liu Du with a smile.
Liu Du looked overjoyed when he heard Liu Cong's words. He immediately pulled Liu Xian to kneel down and said, "Thank you so much, young master."
Pang Tong smiled coldly, "Liu Biao has been setting up schools in Jingzhou for decades and encouraging education. How many damn county magistrates will he be short of? Why are you so happy about taking your son as a hostage, you idiot?"
"Shan, when things here are settled, let him go north to Xiangyang with me." Liu Cong said with a smile to the Liu family and his son.
Afterwards, everyone had another banquet and almost finished drinking. However, Zhao Fan, the prefect of Guiyang, for some reason, kept toasting Liu Cong.
"Bang." Liu Cong finally got drunk and bumped his head on the table.
"Prefects, let's call it a day, my lord is drunk." Pang Tong stood up and said to several people.
"You all listen to Commander Pang."
"Go back to your respective homes, Xu Feng, you and a few others will escort the lord to another courtyard."
"promise!"
After Pang Tong gave some instructions, everyone ended the banquet.
Xu Feng and other personal guards, guarding Liu Cong's carriage, were about to enter the courtyard arranged by Han Xuan, but they didn't expect that Zhao Fan was pulling a carriage in front of them, blocking the way. Xu Feng and Duan Kun looked at each other, and Xu Feng stepped forward.
He said: "I wonder why Governor Zhao stopped us?"
Zhao Fan chuckled: "General, I have something important to report to the young master."
"My lord is already drunk. If you have any questions, we can discuss it tomorrow."
"No, tomorrow will be too late."
"Shanrong, ask him to come up and speak." At this time, Liu Cong spoke in the carriage.
Zhao Fan didn't wait for Xu Feng's signal, and quickly ran to the side of Liu Cong's carriage and said: "Guiyang Prefect Zhao Fan pays homage to the young master."
"Come up and talk."
"promise."
"What's the matter?" Liu Cong's face was flushed, with some beads of sweat on his face, but he still sat upright to receive Zhao Fan.
Zhao Fan looked at Liu Cong's appearance and smiled: "Young Master, there is someone here who I would like to dedicate to you."
"Oh? Who is it?"
"My sister-in-law, Mrs. Fan, has a beautiful country, an upright young age, and it is her blessing to serve the young master. Don't worry, young master, my eldest brother died early, and my sister-in-law has been a widow for many years." Zhao Fan finished speaking in one breath, expressing his feelings.
It has two meanings: first, to dedicate to sister-in-law. Second, she is a widow.
Liu Cong sobered up most of his wine at once. Historically, this guy wanted to offer his sister-in-law to Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun didn't accept it, so he was so scared that he ran away. I didn't expect to tell him this today.
"No..." Liu Cong was about to refuse, but suddenly thought of this guy's courage, and said with a smile: "Prefect Zhao is interested."
"My subordinates, please retire." Zhao Fan immediately got off the carriage, pointed to the carriage that was being pulled, and said to Xu Feng and other guards: "Young Master has ordered us to take that carriage with us."
After saying that, he left with a happy face.
Although Xu Feng and others were puzzled, they still pulled the carriage and left.
When Liu Cong was preparing to enter the mansion with the support of his guards, Mrs. Fan stepped down from the carriage and bowed to Liu Cong Yingying: "I have met the general."
Fan was wearing a bamboo hat and a veil, so his appearance could not be seen clearly, but his figure only made the eyes of the soldiers around him shine.
"Lord, what is this?" Xu Feng asked curiously.
"Uh, bring me in."
"Nuo, Tongzhou (Duan Kun), Xing Daorong, you go to rest first, I will protect the lord tonight."
"promise."
With a creak, Xu Feng closed the door after Liu Cong and Fan entered the house.
"Everyone, step back fifty steps!" As he said this, Xu Feng led the people to retreat.
Inside the house, Liu Cong lamented the evils of feudal life.
"You go down."
"The general dislikes me?"
"No."
"Is that because I'm ugly?" As she spoke, Fan took off her bamboo hat, revealing a face that could be broken by a bullet.
Liu Cong was instantly attracted and could not move his face for a long time.
Fan smiled softly and walked to Liu Cong: "I serve the general."
Feeling the soft touch on his arms, Liu Cong suddenly felt hot all over his body, but he still remained reserved: "No, there is too much age difference between you and me."
"I am only twenty-three this year."
Damn it, who can bear this? Liu Cong picked up Fan, walked to the bed and threw her down hard.
"I'll let you know the consequences of arousing my anger!"
"I am willing to bear it all, please show mercy to the general." Mrs. Fan rested her elbow on the bed, her charming eyes blurred, her red lips slightly opened, and she looked at Liu Cong with a somewhat provocative look.
How can I tolerate this from you? Liu Cong was like a hungry tiger and pounced on him fiercely.
It was cloudy and rainy in Wushan all night, and it was not until three o'clock in the morning the next day that Liu Cong opened his eyes and woke up.
He rubbed his eyes and stretched out his hand to get up, but what he touched was a smooth and tender piece, which made Liu Cong a little excited.
"What is this?" Liu Cong took a look and saw that there was a jade body lying around him, and there were clothes scattered everywhere on the ground.
"This is the woman Zhao Fan sent, this is Fan." Thinking of what happened last night, Liu Cong gently called out a few times: "Wake up, wake up."
"Um... General, please allow me to sleep a little longer." Fan looked at Liu Cong sleepily, and then said coquettishly.
Liu Cong smiled proudly, "Hey, this is the consequence of provoking me."
"Here comes someone."
"Lord." Xu Feng's voice came from outside the house.
"Go and find some maids to come in and serve you."
"promise."
After a while, Liu Cong dressed neatly and ordered the maid to stay and wait on Mrs. Fan. He opened the door refreshed, Liu Cong looked at Xu Feng who was standing at the foot of the steps with dark circles under his eyes and said: "Thank you for your hard work, Shanrong. Call Duan."
Tongzhou and Xing Daorong are here. Go and have a rest."
"promise."
After washing up, Liu Cong led his guards to the prefect's mansion and "called everyone over to discuss matters."
"promise."
Upon hearing Liu Cong's call to discuss matters, Zhao Fan was the first to arrive and peeked at Liu Cong's expression uneasily. Liu Cong smiled briskly at him: "Prefect Zhao, I am very satisfied with the gift last night."
Zhao Fan smiled happily when he heard Yan: "Young Master, as long as you are satisfied, as long as you are satisfied."
People arrived one after another, and Liu Cong said: "This time, I came on my father's orders to lead troops to Jingnan to fight against Cao Cao. However, Jin Xuan, the prefect of Wuling, refused to come because he was ill. What do you think?"
"My lord, I suggest that we send out troops immediately to attack the rebels." Pang Tong was the first to express his position.
"Young Master, I am willing to be the vanguard!" Veteran Huang Zhong was the first to ask for battle.
Xing Daorong and Duan Kun bowed down at the same time and said: "The last general is also willing to be a pioneer."
Liu Cong glanced at Xing Daorong, twitched the corners of his mouth, and said nothing.
Zhao Fan saw the corners of Liu Cong's mouth gradually rising as the main war faction spoke out, and said: "I think that Jin Xuanmu has no superior official, and it is not enough to punish the evil if he does not attack. Please send troops to attack, young master. I, Guiyang, am willing to go out."
Ten thousand elite soldiers are here to help the young master in the battle!"
What a eloquent mouth and Zhao Fan who is very observant.
Liu Du and Han Xuan looked at each other and said, "We are also willing to send troops."
"Okay, Shi Yuan, the troops and horses of the three counties and the cavalry I brought are all at your disposal and you will command them."
"Thank you, Lord. Huang Zhong obeys the order."
"At the end of the day, I ordered you to lead Changsha's 10,000 troops and 1,000 cavalry as the vanguard general. We don't seek speed, but stability. Just surround Linyuan, the headquarters of Wuling." Pang Tong ordered Huang Zhong.
"As commanded."
"Lord, we are leading the troops behind, we just need to collect the fruits of victory."
