Soldiers come to the world

The "Zhou Mu You Ling" who arrived in time made Cai Zhongzhong stunned, the archery order was not issued, and Gan Ning's killing spirit that was about to erupt was also withdrawn, and the two looked at the rushing person at the same time.

The visitor was dressed in fish-scale armor and an eagle-prismatic helmet. He was just an ordinary low-ranking officer, but the BMW under his crotch was particularly eye-catching.

Gan Ning was surprised, but he didn't show his expression. Cai Zhong stared at BMW with a greedy look in his eyes, and then glanced at Liu Jing. Pointing at the long knife in his hand, "Who are you, you dare to offend me!"

The surrounding people were whispering, and they were all surprised. The person who came was naturally Liu Jing. At the very moment, he rushed in without thinking.

Liu Jing said indifferently: "I'm just a village chief who wants to speak to General Cai."

Cai Zhong’s triangular eyes narrowed, and he gave a grinning grin, “A little village chief dares to commit a crime, according to the military regulations, and leave this horse to Lao Tzu, and spare your life, otherwise , I will kill you together!"

Cai Zhong stared at Liu Jing fiercely, but Liu Jing sneered and remained silent.

"Archers get ready!" Cai Zhong ordered fiercely.

Hundreds of crossbowmen raised their crossbow arrows in a hurry. At this moment, a Bo Chang who guarded the city gate ran forward and whispered something in Cai Zhong's ear.

Cai Zhong was stunned, Zhou Mu's nephew, it turned out that this young general was the Liu Jing who defeated Cai Jin, and he looked at the young general in front of him, Xiong Jun's horse, with a confident expression, it seemed that he was really Zhou Mu's nephew .

Cai Zhong didn't dare to act recklessly, waved his hand, "Put it all down!"

The soldiers put down their crossbow arrows, Liu Jing turned around and smiled at Gan Ning again, "General Gan is a hero, may I speak a few words of justice?"

Gan Ning groaned inwardly, he was also greedy for the young man's war horse, and wanted to snatch it, but the other party defended himself wholeheartedly, which made him feel ashamed, his face became a little hot, nodded and said: "Young man Please say!"

Liu Jing was enthusiastic and forthright in his previous life, he liked to fight against injustices, and he was willing to solve problems for others. He also had experience in dealing with the world. He knew very well how to ease the conflict between the two parties under such circumstances.

Not only must we control the conflict that is about to break out, but we must also keep Gan Ning. We cannot let him go to Soochow, and we must not offend Cai Zhong too much. We must give him a step down to prevent him from becoming angry and killing people regardless of the consequences. In short, in every aspect We must take care of ourselves so that this crisis can be eliminated.

He revealed his identity and gained the other party's recognition. This is the first step towards success, but the next few steps cannot be missed.

Liu Jing cupped his hands and smiled at Cai Zhong: "General Cai is loyal to his duty, and his meticulous attitude is admirable. It's just that General Gan came here with sincerity. I believe Zhou Mu is also willing to use his reputation of humility, accepting talents and hospitality." It has been spread all over the world, thus attracting more talented people, so I ask General Cai to be more lenient and wait for the state shepherd to deal with this matter, I wonder what General Cai thinks?"

First, there are a few words of compliment, but the following words are soft and strong, and there are thorns in the soft. In fact, it is a warning to Cai Zhong, don't ruin the reputation of the lord for recruiting talents.

We must know that reputation was extremely important at the end of the Han Dynasty, especially for princes like Liu Biao, only people who had a good name would come to seek refuge.

Cai Zhong's face was very ugly, originally he wanted to kill Gan Ning without anyone noticing, not only to relieve his hatred, but also to kill the water thief and make meritorious service, killing two birds with one stone.

However, with the appearance of Liu Jing, he knew that his plan had failed, but if he just let it go, he couldn't save his face, Cai Zhong said coldly: "So it was Mr. Jing, who offended you just now, since Mr. Jing wants to protect the state Mu Mingsheng, please report to Zhou Mu that this man is a Jiangyang thief, I want to watch him and prevent him from carrying out looting in the name of taking refuge."

Liu Jing was in a bit of a dilemma. He couldn't leave Beicheng at this time. He knew very well that once he left, something would happen. Even if Gan Ning survived, he would be driven away by Cai Zhongji.

He pondered for a while and said, "Can you ask General Cai to accompany me?"

"no!"

Cai Duan flatly refused, "It is my duty to strictly guard the city gate and prevent water thieves from entering the city. I will not leave the city gate."

Liu Jing really felt that the matter was difficult. If he had known that his entourage would not leave, what should he do? Who would send a message for him?

People on both sides were talking about it. Under a big tree not far away, an old Taoist priest with white hair and childlike face led a healthy mule and watched Liu Jing from afar, stroked his long beard and smiled without saying a word.

At this moment, a long laugh came from the nearby restaurant, "Young Master Jing, how about I report to Zhou Mu for you?"

I saw a tall and thin literati walking out of the wine shop, dressed in a white Confucian robe and a flat scarf, about 25 or [-] years old, with fair skin, bright eyes, elegant and calm, indescribably gentle.

Cai Zhong knew this person, and he whispered in his heart that he was lucky, "It turns out that he was hiding in a wine shop, and he almost made a big mistake."

Liu Jing was overjoyed, bowed to salute and said, "May I ask your honorable name, sir?"

The young scribe slightly cupped his hands and said with a smile: "The staff in the pastoral tent in Xialiuzhou are from Shanyang, Yiji!"

. . . . . . . . . .

The Zhennan General's Mansion located in the west of the city is also the Jingzhou State Shepherd's Mansion and the power center of the entire Jingxiang area. At this time, in the state government office, Liu Biao was discussing important matters with Cai Mao and Kuai Yue.

Today Liu Biao received a letter from Yuan Shao requesting that Liu Biao send troops to the Central Plains, while Yuan Shao would attack from the north. The two armies would attack Cao Cao from the north to the south and kill the traitors.

In fact, this is the second letter from Yuan Shao. During the Battle of Guandu last year, Yuan Shao wrote a letter, requesting to form an alliance with Liu Biao to attack Cao Cao. Liu Biao hesitated, but his important ministers except Huang Zu agreed. Opposed to form an alliance with Yuan Shao.

Even Han Song and Biejia Liu Xian persuaded Cao Cao to surrender to Cao Cao when he was weak, so as to be reused.

Today, Yuan Shao's second letter did not cause much disturbance, Kuai Yue said with a smile: "Last year, I knew that I would be defeated at the beginning, so I advised my lord not to hand over to the Yuan family. Conspiracy but envy kills him, he has millions of troops but is indecisive, so similar to He Jin in the past, if he fights Cao Jun again today, he will definitely lose!"

Liu Biao pondered for a moment, then asked Cai Mao, "What do you think of De Gui?"

Although Cai Mao and Kuai Yue had a dispute over family interests, they agreed on opposing an alliance with Yuan Shao. Cai Mao sneered, "When Yuan was strong and Cao was weak last year, we did not form an alliance with Yuan Shao. Now that Yuan is weak Cao Qiang, we want to form an alliance with Yuan Shao, isn't this a joke? My lord will ignore ten more letters like this."

Liu Biao was really worried. He was not worried about Yuan Shao, but about himself. Once Cao Cao wiped out Yuan Shao, would the next one be to attack Jingzhou?

Cai Mao saw Liu Biao's worry, and said, "I suspect that this letter is Yuan Shao's plan to lure Jing Nan!"

Liu Biao was taken aback, "How do you say that?"

"Yuan Shao was defeated at Guandu last year, and Cangting again this year. He is at the end of the road. At this time, he can't protect himself. He doesn't have the thought of killing Han thieves and raising righteousness together. If the lord sends troops to the Central Plains, Jingzhou will definitely suffer tragically from Cao's army. Revenge, but Yuan Shao escaped the catastrophe and got a chance to breathe, this is actually Yuan Shao's countermeasure to encircle Wei and save Zhao, my lord must not fall for it."

Liu Biao sighed secretly, he was in a dilemma if he could be rescued, but if he didn't save him, he would have future troubles.

At this time, a guard walked quickly to the door, and bowed to report: "Speak to Zhou Mu, Mr. Yi asked to see him, and said he has something important to report."

. . . . . . . . . .

Yiji is from Gaoping County, Shanyang County. He is from the same town as Liu Biao. When he was young, he went to Jingxiang to escape the war. Worship Pang Degong, a famous scholar in Xiangyang, as his teacher.

When he was 20 years old, Duke Pound recommended him to Liu Biao and became Liu Biao's staff. He sorted out documents and drafted letters for him, which won Liu Biao's trust.

Today, Yiji had a day off and went shopping in Fancheng on the other side. When he came back, he had lunch in a restaurant outside Beicheng. Unexpectedly, Gan Ning came to work at his door, and he also witnessed Liu Jing's decisive resolution of the crisis.

Yi Ji hurriedly walked up to the lobby, still feeling a lot of emotion for Liu Jing's decisiveness and wit. This requires not only courage, but also means, and more importantly, knowing how to be reasonable and disciplined. A slight negligence will lead to failure. Liu Jing has done all of this , it seems that this boy is only fifteen or sixteen years old, but he is so sophisticated in handling things, which makes Yiji deeply amazed.

Yi Ji knelt down on both knees and bowed respectfully to Liu Biao, "I have something important to report to my lord."

"What's the matter, Uncle Ji?" Liu Biao asked with a slight smile.

"This subordinate went to Fancheng today. When I came back just now, I was about to meet Gan Ning who came to seek refuge with the lord."

"But the Jinfan thief Gan Ning Gan Xingba?"

Cai Mao next to him was furious. He was in charge of the Jingzhou navy, and he fought Gan Ning many times, but he was humiliated by him, which seriously damaged his reputation in the army and made him hate Gan Ning very much.

"It's this man!"

Yi Ji told Cai Zhong outside the city gate that he wanted to kill Gan Ning, but Liu Jing stepped forward to defuse the imminent murderous intent of both sides, and explained in detail, he was very eloquent, he had a good impression of Liu Jing in his heart, and in the description he described Liu Jing's image was deliberately elevated.

Cai Mao and Kuai Yue looked at each other the same way, it turns out that Liu Jing is back, Cai Mao is a person of status, although he hates Gan Ning to the bone, but he will not be as unscrupulous as Cai Zhong, he knows that in the officialdom one should not be the first to dominate, he held back his heart Furious, he stopped talking for now, waiting for Liu Biao's opinion.

Liu Biao pondered for a moment and said, "How to deal with this Gan Ning is indeed a headache."

He glanced at Cai Mao, meaning to ask for Cai Mao's opinion. Cai Mao sneered, "This man has killed countless people and is full of crimes. How many people in Jingzhou want to kill him quickly. Now that he has come to his door, I think the innocent people who died at his hands Living beings can rest their eyes on the Nine Springs."

Yi Ji was very anxious. If he decided to kill Gan Ning, it would be different from Cai Zhong killing him. He hurriedly persuaded: "My lord, please listen to me. Gan Ning is a hero of Jingxiang, with excellent martial arts. Now the world is in chaos. Cao thief peeping south is the time when Jingzhou employs people, and there are many famous men in Jingzhou but few generals. Gan Ning's vote is God's help for the lord. Therefore, I hope the lord will learn from you."

Cai Mao snorted heavily, "The virtuous help the virtuous to gain fame, and the wicked will get a bad reputation. If the lord accepts a woman as a general, he will destroy his reputation. Who would dare to come and join the lord? Mr. Yi, you have to think about the lord's reputation. "

Liu Biao had some conflicts in his heart, he also knew that Gan Ning was extremely skilled in martial arts and possessed undue courage, so using him as a general was just right to defend Dong Wu or Cao Jun, but Cai Mao's words hit the point again, and he accepted the army as a general. It will damage his reputation and stop the sages, which makes Liu Biao really unsure of paying attention.

At this time, Kuai Yue smiled slightly and said, "Actually, my lord still has a third way to go."

After Liu Biao thought for a while, he suddenly realized that between accepting and not accepting, he did have a third way to go.
