Chapter 115 Liu Biao enters Jing
Wen Chou thought this in his heart and asked, "Qiao Yuanwei was defeated and died. Who is the guardian of Dongjun now?"
Tian Chou replied: "Liu Yanzhou was led by Wang Gong to lead the prefect of Dongjun."
Wen Chou said with doubts: "Who is Wang Gong?"
Tian Chou replied, "The same county as Liu Yanzhou, this time Liu Yanzhou raised an army, Wang Gong gathered his clans, and more than a thousand county people surrendered to him. Liu Yanzhou claimed that he was the General of the General of the Central Army and had always obtained the credit of Liu Yanzhou."
Wen Chou understood as soon as he heard this. Wang Gong's position in Liu Dai's army should be similar to that in his own army.
Wen Chou said in his heart: "With this example first, it will be convenient for me to represent my soldiers and soldiers as ministers of counties and states when I have the opportunity in the future."
Previously, Wen Chou and Yuan Shu jointly submitted a letter, saying that Sun Jian was the prefect of Yingchuan, but Sun Jian was different from Wang Gong. Wang Gong was only a general of Liu Dai, while Sun Jian had been two thousand stones for a long time and was still the Marquis of Wucheng, but he was originally a prominent country. Now with the example of Wang Gong, Wen Chou could also openly appoint his soldiers as the prefect of the two thousand stones. Of course, this required him to get rid of his current low position first.
On the other hand, the scouts lurking around Luoyang sent Dong Jun's recent situation back continuously. Wen Chou and Sun Jian gathered together every day to analyze the changes in the enemy situation based on the latest information. Two days, three days, in the short term, Dong Jun seems to have no changes, but if it is placed in a longer period of time, it can be clearly seen that Dong Jun's morale is indeed becoming lower day by day as Wen Chou expected.
An important manifestation of low morale is in the military discipline. Dong Jun’s military discipline is not good at all. As he stayed in Luoyang for a long time, military discipline became increasingly unbearable. It has become almost the norm for soldiers to go out to camps and plunder privately. On the one hand, the number of plunders increased, and on the other hand, the daily practice was lax, and even the warnings inside and outside the camps gradually became very relaxed and full of loopholes.
If there are no barriers outside, Sun Jian can not only send out an elite force to attack his camp at this moment, but also have a great chance of success. Unfortunately, there are Hulao, Zhuoyuan, and Yique passes outside Dong camp, but it is difficult to pass the barrier and attack it.
That day, news came from Jingzhou.
However, after Liu Biao was appointed as the governor of Jingzhou in the court, he entered Jingzhou alone. Now Dong Zhuo is in chaos, and the road to Jingzhou is full of thieves. Almost the road is blocked, Liu Biao did not bring any followers or soldiers, and he traveled alone for a long distance, but he was able to arrive safely. Even if people admire his courage, it is amazing to his luck.
After arriving in Jingzhou, Liu Biao invited the surrounding famous scholars Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, Cai Mao and others to discuss current affairs with them. Needless to say, the Cai family is the Guan clan of Jingzhou, and the Kuai family is also a famous family. In Jingzhou, there are many right-ranking gentry members. Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue, like Cai Mao, have been famous for a long time in the prefectures and counties. At this time, the situation in Jingzhou was very bad, which was very unfavorable to Liu Biao.
Jingzhou has the richest county, the most populous and the most important strategic position is Nanyang County. Now Yuan Shu is entrenched here, with all the people left to Liu Biao. Only the other counties that are not very rich, have relatively few people, and have relatively low strategic position. It is also because Nanyang is in the hands of Yuan Shu that Liu Biao came to Yicheng.
In these remaining counties, probably because the sky is high and the emperor is far away. In the area, the clan party has always been powerful. Today, the chaos has begun, and the clan party is even more rampant and entrenched in various places. Those who only have more than a thousand people are afraid that there will be dozens of stocks.
The most abundant and most important place was occupied by outsiders, and the remaining place was the land of the clan. On the day of entering Jingzhou, Liu Biao had no soldiers or soldiers, only him. At the beginning of this troubled time, the situation before him was not ordinary.
Liu Biao, like Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang, and others, also came from a high school. Therefore, although he had never been an official in Jingzhou, he had known Cai Mao and others for a long time. He did not have to hide his worries at the meeting. He said: "Now Yuan Shu is ready to move in Nanyang. The Jiangnan Party is very powerful and each has its own troops. If Yuan Shu takes the opportunity to attack with their power, it will inevitably lead to a disaster. I want to recruit troops, but I am afraid that it will not be able to collect them. What are your opinions?"
The first person to speak at that time was Kuai Liang. He replied: "If the people do not submit, it means that they are not lenient and kind enough; if they cannot submit but cannot govern, it means that they are not merciful and righteous. As long as they implement the way of benevolence and righteousness, the people will submit, just like water flows downward. Why are they worried that they cannot be collected?"
Kuai Yue made the second speech, saying: "Yuan Shu was proud and lacked strategy. The leader of the party was greedy and cruel, and his subordinates were disloyal. If someone showed his benefits, these leaders would inevitably lead the crowd. You executed those who were unruly and recruited their subordinates. The people in the state wanted to live and work in peace. After hearing about your prestige and kindness, they would definitely support the elderly and the young and come to join. After gathering troops, they would defend the eight counties in Jiangling and Xiangyang, south and north, and issued official documents to pacify. Even if Yuan Shu came to attack at that time, there was no way to do anything."
Liu Biao adopted the opinions of the two Kuaishou and after the meeting, he sent Kuai Yue to lure the leaders of various sects. At this time, Kuai Yue had just set out for a long time, so the results are still unknown. However, according to the influence of Wen Chou, Liu Biao's approach was quite correct.
When Wen Chou told Sun Jian the news, he sighed and said, "Liu Jingsheng is a hero. Although he entered Jingzhou alone, Jingzhou has already taken over his hands!"
At this point, Wen Chou thought to himself: "The two Yuans, especially Yuan Shu, have no intention of fighting with Dong Zhuo. Since the rebellion, he has been stationed in Luyang. Even after Yuan Wei and others were killed by Dong Zhuo and suffered another defeat, he still has no intention of advancing. Now Liu Biao has entered Yicheng on his own. With his personal background and reputation, he has quickly gained the support of local scholars in Jingzhou. He has obviously already had the foundation to compete with Yuan Shu for Jingzhou. In this case, I think Yuan Shu would not send troops north to attack Dong Zhuo."
"Everyone said that Dong Zhuo's martial arts man was, but when he saw his actions, he also had many plans." Guo Jia sighed.
Tianchou Interface said: "Not only do more, but also do more and more, you can sell it."
He appointed Yuan Shao as the prefect of Bohai, and provoked the secret battle between Han Fu and Yuan Shao; divided his troops to defeat the two Yuans, put pressure on the Suzao Alliance and promoted him to disband earlier; and Liu Biao served as Jingzhou, successfully restraining Yuan Shu. Dong Zhuo's plans were all very successful.
Tian Feng said: "Although Dong Zhuo is a man of ordinary people, he is not very good at planning. If he acts with me, he will definitely be the plan of Jia Xu and others." (To be continued.)
