Ancestor Bless: I built a thousand-year-old family

Chapter 741: One year later, Wu Kingdom came here again!
The 15th and 16th years of Jian'an are called the years of Wang Xing.

In the past two years, following Cao Cao's Oath of Luoshui, the more powerful princes in the world have all proclaimed themselves kings.

Although it was not like the Yan State who openly claimed that the emperor was in opposition to the Han Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it was still an existence out of the control of the Han Dynasty.

Only in Jingzhou, Liu Biao failed to claim the throne and was blocked by the four major families of Huang, Kuai, Cai and Pang. He failed to claim the throne and still served Zhengshuo of the Han Dynasty.

Taking a closer look, among the three major Han clan clan members in the world, Liu Biao is the only one who has never been king.

Some people in the world who focused on deeds but not on focus praised him, but Liu Biao himself was so aggrieved that he had sores on his back and was bedridden.

I stayed in bed for a year.

The affairs of Jingzhou are in the hands of the four major families, and they are in charge of Pang Tong, Kuai Yue, Cai Mao, Huang Chengyan and others. Jingzhou is supported by these noble families, so it is not a big problem whether Liu Biao is there.

But in the past year, the internal disputes in Jingzhou were also extremely serious, and the cause was Wu's conquest of Jingzhou.

In the 13th year of Jian'an, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao and Liu Bei fought in the Central Plains, and then Guanzhong, Yan State, Bingzhou, and Sanhe were all implicated.

When the war started in the north, the south would naturally not be idle. Jiangdong took advantage of the fact that the main forces of Cao Cao and Liu Bei were unable to go south and went to conquer Jingzhou.

The Jingzhou army was naturally defeated. Although Huang Zhong was brave and Kuai Yue and Pang Tong were all amazing talents, in the face of the united Jiangdong, Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Er Zhang, and Sun Ce, the Jingzhou army was still No match.

Jiangxia County, which was lost at the beginning, returned to Jiangdong's hands again.

The essence of Jingzhou is found in the three counties of Jiangxia, Nanjun, and Nanyang. The four counties of Lingling, Guiyang, Changsha, and Wuling in the south are mountainous and have many barbarians. There is basically very little tax revenue and very little food and grass. Changsha County is not bad.

Now Liu Biao of Jingzhou could only retreat to Nanjun and join forces with Zhao Hong, the prefect of Nanyang, to resist Wu's attack.

Jingzhou, South County.

In Liu Biao's mansion, there was a circle of people sitting around. They were all prominent figures in Jingzhou, basically the top leaders of Jingzhou.

Liu Biao was lying on the bed, listening to these people arguing. The core of the argument was how Jingzhou could resist Wu's attack now.

Until Cai Mao suddenly said, "The reason why Wu State conquered Jingzhou is because Wu State wanted to occupy the entire upper reaches of the Yangtze River and to prevent anyone from attacking Wu State directly from the upper reaches of the Han River along the Yangtze River.

That’s why the Wu State will fight to the death with Jingzhou, but why is Jingzhou fighting to the death here? "

What was the purpose of the deadly battle in Jingzhou?
Cai Hao's question directly caused the brain circuits of most people here to go up in smoke. Since ancient times, after being invaded, they have naturally resisted and fought back. Why do we still need to ask?
But these people had second thoughts.

Suddenly I realized something was wrong. Why are we fighting against Wu Guo?

It seems that apart from casualties, there are no benefits at all!

Then wasn’t this battle fought in a confused manner?

Seeing this, Cai Hao smiled sinisterly, recalling the news sent by Wu Guo, and said with confidence in his heart: "Everyone, please allow me a word.

The State of Wu is just downstream of our Jingzhou. I believe you all know very well about the founding of the State of Wu.

In the Kingdom of Wu, Gongzi Chu was the leader, but under Gongzi Chu, power was dispersed, headed by the counties and famous people.

If we, the whole of Jingzhou, surrender to Gongzi Chu, we will use the power of Nanjun and the four southern counties of Jingzhou.

Can the governor of Nanjun and the governor of Jingzhou join the regency council?
I think it's ok.

After entering the Regency Council, Prince Chu will care about our opinions, and the Jiangdong nobles will not be able to infringe on our interests at will. Isn't it difficult to protect the scholars and people of Jingzhou?
Do you think there is some truth to what I say? "

Does it make sense?
It just makes sense!

Jiangdong's system is the system tailor-made for himself by Luo Chu after his attempt to abdicate the country failed.

As long as he is still there, the power that this system can unite is no worse than any royal system.

As for what to do after he is gone, he gave some solutions, but they mainly rely on the wisdom of future generations.

This system was very attractive to the Jingzhou gentry and could ensure the survival of their interests.

Pang Tong pondered for a moment and said, "The most important thing is that Wu Guoxin is eager to conquer Jingzhou, and Master Chu will definitely agree to our surrender."

Cai Hao nodded slightly proudly and said, "Of course!"

The window period for Wu to attack Jingzhou is only that long.

If it does not succeed in a short period of time and the northern princes come to their senses, the price Wu will have to pay will be huge.

Liu Biao was lying on the hospital bed, listening to his ministers discussing the surrender in front of him.

He was naturally very angry.

He dragged his seriously ill body and said tremblingly: "You..."

When he opened his mouth, it was as low as a mosquito's chirp, and even Mrs. Cai who was right next to him didn't hear it clearly.

The rather charming and enchanting Mrs. Cai quickly helped Liu Biao up and asked urgently: "Husband, what did you just say?" Everyone who was discussing realized that they were in Liu Biao's room, but no one was embarrassed. Cai Mao walked over directly and said with a smile: "Lord, we were discussing the great cause of Jingzhou just now. Is there anything you want to say?"

Liu Biao did not expect that Cai Mao could be so shameless and still talk to him with a smile under such circumstances, and whispered: "Who asked you to surrender?

This is the Jingzhou of Honshu! "

Cai Mao didn't expect that Liu Biaogou would spit out such two disgusting words, and his face suddenly became serious. At first, he offered Mrs. Cai's marriage to Liu Biao as a continuation of his marriage, but Liu Biao was not grateful. .

At that time, he was very dissatisfied with Liu Biao, and now he was naturally unwilling to bear it. He immediately said sternly: "My lord, if you don't surrender, will you die?
The soldiers and people of Jingzhou have no intention of fighting, and they don't even know why they are fighting. Why should they fight to the death with the Wu army?
And don’t forget, my lord, you still have a son. Do you want to wait until I am defeated in Jingzhou to be captured and killed by the nobles of Wu?

Will the Lord be satisfied until the day when the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed? "

These unkind words made Liu Biao gasp for breath, his face turned red and his neck became thick, and he looked like he was out of breath.

But I have to admit that Cai Mao is right.

My ideals in this life have all failed, and in the end I want to leave a way out for my descendants.

Mrs. Cai looked at Liu Biao anxiously. She was not worried about Liu Biao's death.

After all, she and Liu Biao were in a political marriage. It would be strange for a beautiful woman like her to marry an old man like Liu Biao.

She was worried that Liu Biao would die too quickly and would not have time to pass on his position to her son.

When her son gets the position of Jingzhou Shepherd, she will find a high-ranking family to marry. Whether it is the Cai family or herself, they will still be prosperous and wealthy throughout their lives.

As for whether she can marry another high-ranking family, she is not worried at all. Even if Jingzhou is defeated, there will still be many people who want to marry her.

Everyone gathered around and looked at Liu Biao, but no one spoke for Liu Biao. At this time, no one could let Jingzhou fall into a state of eternal destruction because of Liu Biao's willfulness.

Besides, everyone thought that this was also a good thing for Liu Biao, at least his son could survive.

If they were really defeated, the Jingzhou nobles would be able to switch families even if they paid the price, but Liu Biao's son would surely die.

"Get out! Get out!"

After Liu Biao took a breath, he roared in a low voice. Everyone was stunned when they heard the words. Most of them had some ugly faces. Some of them were very dissatisfied with Liu Biao and walked away.

Mrs. Cai still wanted to hold Liu Biao up, but Liu Biao used all his strength to throw her away and weakly said: "Bitch, get out of here too!"

Mrs. Cai's face changed drastically when she heard this. She never expected that Liu Biao would dare to scold her. She immediately turned into a shrew, and after a verbal abuse, she left the place angrily.

Liu Biao waited until Mrs. Cai left, and he was the only one left in the empty room. He suddenly felt relaxed.

all gone.

They're all gone.

A sharp look flashed in Liu Biao's eyes, and he seemed to have regained some of his former aura of riding alone to conquer Jingzhou.

“Think about those days when we were in our prime, riding alone to conquer Jingzhou, what a heroic demeanor it was.

But I never imagined that this place would be a trapped place, trapping me here for the rest of my life.

I am about to die, what should I do? "

Luo's history books like to draw conclusions for people, and especially like to record the words spoken before death, believing that the words of a person who is about to die can be trusted.

Liu Biao reached out and took out a piece of white cloth and slowly wrote on it with blood. He used all his strength. This was his last thought in life.

Mrs. Cai was quite dissatisfied and went out to complain to Cai Mao. Pang Tong felt something was wrong. What did Liu Biao want to do inside?
Everyone rushed in and took a look, only to see that Liu Biao was motionless. Suddenly their eyes went dark and they knew that Liu Biao was dead. They were holding a piece of white paper tightly in their hands. There seemed to be writing on it. They quickly opened it and saw a few bloody writings - " Liu Biao will die as a Han official and will never surrender."

Shameless!
Everyone never expected that Liu Biaoqian would play this trick on them. It was so shameless.

Kuai Yue snatched Bai Juan directly and threw her into the brazier, saying bitterly: "We are discussing for the survival of his descendants, but he is pretending to be a loyal minister like this.

When they allied with Yuan Shao, they did not mention the Han Dynasty. When Cao Cao issued the edict, he did not mention the Han Dynasty. Now, after all, he calls himself a Han official and will never surrender.

He was so confident that we would surrender and would take his son with him. "

Kuai Yue said this with gritted teeth. He had served Liu Biao for many years and still had feelings for Liu Biao, but he didn't expect that Liu Biao would play such a trick in the end.

Cai Mao stopped Kuai Yue from continuing and said: "The top priority now is to support Liu Cong as the throne and then surrender to Prince Chu. The war can no longer spread to Nanjun."

The land of Jingchu that Qingji and Sun Wu could not occupy in the past has now directly surrendered to the state of Wu. It is true that things are changing, and nothing is normal in the world.

----

Liu Biao's relatives and royal relatives rarely had clear hopes, and the world was in chaos. Biao went to Jingzhou alone to map out Jingchu. It was so spacious and magnificent that scholars praised it. When he took control of the seven counties in Jingzhou, he seemed to be slacking off. People ridiculed him as "the one who keeps the household." "Dog", however, historians have observed that they have great aspirations, but are constrained everywhere, but they cannot overcome their strength and wisdom, so they are trapped in the jungle. They appear to be tired and sick, but they also appear to be strong, leaving life to show their ambitions. Like it. ——"Book of the Later Han·Biography of Liu Yan, Liu Biao, Liu Yu, Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zan"
