On the one hand, he is really much older, after all, he is in his fifties. On the other hand, Liu Biao's emotions are very complicated, with mixed feelings.
Once, Lu Xuan came to Jingzhou, respected him in every way, and kept getting closer to him. Now, Lu Xuan opened his bloody mouth and swallowed his Jingzhou. In the past, Liu Biao had enough sense of superiority to face Lu Xuan, and had enough strength.
As an elder, you have to put on airs.
Now, it's all his burden.
As Lu Meng walked forward, he glanced at Liu Biao and said nothing.
After all, Liu Biao was the one who surrendered.
No need to be harsh.
After walking for a while, Liu Biao came to Lu Xuan and saw Lu Xuan riding on the horse. He looked solemn and bowed and said: "The sinner Liu Biao, on behalf of Jingzhou, surrenders to Lu Xuanqi and obeys Lu Xuanqi's arrangements.
"
Lu Xuan turned over and dismounted, stretched out his hand to drag Liu Biao, and said with a smile: "Uncle, I have offended me. You are the elder and I am the junior, so I don't deserve such a great gift."
"My uncle is the head of Jingzhou. He must know that as the head of the family, he must take into account the interests of the people below him. The civil servants and military generals below made the request in a united manner, so I can only agree. This is beyond my control."
"I have captured Yangzhou, Xuzhou, and Yuzhou. The people below all hope to capture Jingzhou. That's why I decided to attack Nanyang County."
"Based on my personal feelings, I don't want to have a conflict with my uncle."
Lu Xuan looked gentle and said: "It's just that I represent the interests of everyone. If I don't attack Jingzhou, the people below will not agree, and their interests will be damaged. So given the current situation, please uncle Haihan."
Liu Biao's body stiffened.
He admitted that there was some truth to what Lu Xuan said.
However, Liu Biao was sober as never before at this moment. He knew that Lu Xuan's words were just to comfort him.
Just to make him feel better.
When Liu Biao saw Lu Xuan's good attitude, the tense expression on his face relaxed slightly, and he felt somewhat comforted.
Liu Biao did not dare to put on airs and said proactively: "Lu Qiaoqi defeated the old man. Speaking of which, Jingzhou under the old man's rule has no airs. No one is truly loyal and everyone has selfish motives."
"Especially in Jingzhou, this place is controlled by major families. People like Lao Chen don't have the courage and ability to solve it, so the current results are all their own fault."
"The old man surrenders with sincerity and sincerity."
Liu Biao looked sincere and said, "Please Lu Qiaoqi accept Jingzhou."
Lu Xuan took Liu Biao's hand and said with a smile: "I believe what my uncle said. Let's go to the city first."
"Enter the city!"
Lu Meng shouted loudly.
After giving the order, Zhou Yu took the lead in arranging soldiers to enter the city and take over the defense of Xiangyang City. Then, the army entered the city to garrison. Lu Xuan led his people to the Prefecture Mufu. Lu Xuan and Liu Biao were sitting side by side on the main seat. Below
They are Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Lu Meng, Jia Xu, and other civil and military officials from Jingzhou.
Lu Xuan looked at Liu Biao, smiled and said: "My uncle surrendered to me, and I kept my promise. My uncle will serve as the shepherd of Jingzhou and continue to rule Jingzhou."
Liu Biao raised his eyebrows and looked at Lu Xuan.
He was a little surprised.
In fact, he thought that the words Lu Xuan released were just to confuse people and to alienate him and the officials under his command. Unexpectedly, Lu Xuan really wanted to fulfill his promise, which made Liu Biao find it incredible.
Liu Biao did not answer immediately, thinking quickly in his mind.
If Lu Xuan was still young and not a powerful person, Liu Biao would directly agree. However, although Lu Xuan was young, he was impeccable in his words and deeds. He was a model of flexibility and flexibility, and he was extremely cunning.
Lu Xuan had lied to him in the first place.
Now, are Lu Xuan's words worthy of trust?
Liu Biao turned his eyes and looked at the Jingzhou officials below. He suddenly thought of something. If Lu Xuan asked him to be the shepherd of Jingzhou, would he still be allowed to take power?
Definitely impossible.
The person in power must be Lu Xuan's direct confidant.
Under such a premise, Liu Biao, the Zhou Mu, is just an empty frame, with only reputation and only being responsible for being a mascot. In fact, Lu Xuan will only give him reputation, and it is impossible to give him actual power.
After Liu Biao thought about it clearly, he smiled in his heart.
This is Lu Xuan.
All aspects have been considered, and he actually has no choice.
Liu Biao adjusted his mentality and said: "Lu Xiuqi, he is old and old. Especially in the recent period, he often feels dizzy and lacks mental strength. It is really difficult for me to continue to govern Jingzhou. I am really unqualified. Please ask Lu Xiuqi."
Choose someone wise."
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "If my uncle doesn't take over, wouldn't it mean that I'm breaking my promise? Uncle, don't worry, I will arrange someone to assist you. So you won't be under too much pressure as a shepherd in Jingzhou."
Liu Biao became increasingly cautious.
He became a state shepherd, and was restricted in everything. Someone made the decision, so why did he need to be an official?
Liu Biao became more and more confident and said again: "The old man's ability is limited. Some time ago, he fainted once. An old man like me serves as the shepherd of Jingzhou. I am a vegetarian in the corpse position, and it is too easy to affect the people of Jingzhou. For the sake of the people, for the long-term interests of Jingzhou
Think about it and ask Lu Qiaoqi to choose another wise man to take charge of Jingzhou."
Lu Xuan sighed: "Oh, what a pity. I have always believed that my uncle has outstanding talents and abilities, but he is getting old."
Liu Biao felt a little bitter in his heart.
Lu Xuan's words were very beautiful and gave him face, but in fact, he lost everything.
Liu Biao could not express his thoughts and said solemnly: "Lu Qiaoqi has received the award. I am too ashamed to deserve it."
Lu Xuan said: "My uncle is not willing to be an official, but brother Liu Qi has outstanding talents and is a talent that can be made. If my uncle wants to retire, let brother Liu Qi come to serve. Your Majesty has given me the right to open a government. I lack a person."
The doctor in charge of etiquette has asked Liu Qi to work in my house. What do you think, uncle?"
Liu Biao originally felt a little lonely, but after hearing Lu Xuan's arrangement, he cheered up.
He retreated.
At least Liu Qi can take over.
That's a little comfort.
Liu Biao immediately understood what Lu Xuan meant. If he wanted to continue to dominate Jingzhou as a pastor, Lu Xuan would not say anything because of his promise. He would definitely let him be a mascot and a Jingzhou pastor in name only.
Now, he took the initiative to step back and give Lu Xuan face, and Lu Xuan also gave him face and gave him benefits.
This is the art of retreating and advancing.
It is also a balance of power and tactics.
In Liu Biao's heart, he really felt that Lu Xuan was powerful. Whether it was his power skills or Lu Xuan's kindness in doing things, Lu Xuan's arrangement made Liu Biao feel that Lu Xuan was okay in his work.
Under the premise that everyone had betrayed his relatives and had become a prisoner, Lu Xuan never treated him badly.
Liu Biao said sincerely, "Liu Biao, thank you Lu Qiaoqi for your kindness."
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "Although my uncle is no longer the pastor of Jingzhou, he is outstanding in talent and learning, and his research and attainments on Confucian classics are also quite outstanding. I don't know if my uncle is willing to go to the Five Classics Museum to teach. After all, Pang De, Sima Hui, and even
Yu Zhengxuan, Guan Ning and others are all working in the Five Classics Hall."
Liu Biao said happily: "I accept the order."
This scene fell in Jia Xu's eyes.
Jia Xu's eyes were full of brilliance. He surrendered to Lu Xuan and recognized Lu Xuan's methods. Now seeing Lu Xuan's arrangements for Liu Biao, Jia Xu was even more impressed, because Lu Xuan acted with rules and standards and was kind.
This is the person he wants to be loyal to.
If you follow such a person, you will not be implicated for no reason, you will not be blamed for no reason, and you will not be treated harshly for no reason.
Other civil and military officers in Jingzhou saw that many people saw Liu Biao's changes and Liu Biao's arrangements, and they felt at ease in their hearts.
Lu Xuan could tolerate even Liu Biao, so naturally he could tolerate them too.
Lu Xuan changed the topic and said directly: "The post of Jingzhou Mu is vacant, and no arrangements will be made for the time being. Everyone will perform your duties and your official position will remain unchanged. In the future, Jingzhou will definitely develop vigorously. If you have the ability, you can speak freely. I
The capable ones under my command are promoted above the weak ones. If you are capable, I, Lu Xuan, will never treat you unfairly or promote you."
All the civil servants and generals agreed happily and praised Lu Xuan one after another.
Lu Xuan had a good conversation with these people, appeased Jingzhou Civil and Military, then dismissed everyone, and then met Liu Qi alone to comfort and win over.
When Liu Qi saw Lu Xuan, his attitude was also very uneasy.
It's even more restrictive.
However, under Lu Xuan's guidance, Liu Qi gradually relaxed and accepted the position of Li Cao Langzhong.
Lu Xuan comforted Liu Qi, and then led the people to leave the Prefecture Mufu and return to the military tent. Lu Xuan thought about the arrangements for Jingzhou, and arranged for people to go to Kuai's house and invite Kuai Yue over.
Whether it is Kuai Liang or Kuai Yue, they are all talents and can be reused.
Kuai Yue entered the Chinese army's tent, saw Lu Xuan, and saluted, "I am humbled by Lu Xuan, and I pay my respects to my lord."
He directly changed his name and admitted his master.
His elder brother Kuai Liang recognized Lu Xuan as his master. Now that he had surrendered, he naturally changed his title.
