Soldiers come to the world

A medical craftsman led Liu Jing to bandage and treat him. Cai Mao also felt bored and resigned to the former army. Li Gui reported to Liu Biao another day and also left. Only Liu Biao and Kuai Yue were left in the room.

Liu Biao stood in front of the window, staring at the several big trees outside the window, looking a little lonely, he didn't know why he felt a sense of loss in his heart, maybe his two sons couldn't say what Liu Jing said.

Liu Biao was finally persuaded. Of course, he had to consider the overall situation. Before he decided to use a knife to eradicate Liu Bei, he did not realize that this matter would have something to do with Soochow. When he would do more harm than good, Liu Biao's determination finally wavered.

Kuai Yue sat in his original position and watched Liu Biao's back calmly. He had been with Liu Biao for more than ten years and knew Liu Biao's mood well.

"Isn't my lord happy to have such a nephew?"

Kuai Yue could feel Liu Biao's loss and understand why he was lost, so he specially bit the 'nephew' very hard, reminding Liu Biao that to some extent all nephews are the same.

Liu Biao smiled wryly in his heart, then slowly turned around and said softly, "I have thought too much about Yidu, of course I am relieved to have such a nephew. To be honest, even you and Degui didn't see that Cao Cao was interested in Soochow. But my nephew has seen it through, do you think I can't feel proud?"

Kuai Yue raised his head and smiled, and said with emotion: "The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. We are all old, and we should give more opportunities to the younger generation. To be honest, Mr. Jing's performance this time is really remarkable, not just today's performance. Experience, last night, his fight in Cao Jun was even more exciting, making people feel that the world belongs to them."

Liu Biao nodded, "You're right. I want to give young people more opportunities. This time, Jing'er made me understand that he can completely control one side for me."

Kuai Yue was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "I recommend Mr. Jing to be Jiang Xia's guard general and Huang Taishou's deputy, what do you think, my lord?"

Liu Biao's eyes flashed a little bit of displeasure. Last night, the eldest son also persuaded him to put Jing'er in Jiangxia. Kuai Yue also said the same thing today. Didn't the two just collude in private?

Liu Biao said calmly, "Don't worry, I'll arrange for him when he recovers from his injuries. This time, since I know his ability, of course I will use him more."

Speaking of this, Liu Biao remembered something again, and said with a smile: "There is also about the marriage between Qi'er and Jing'er. Qi'er is not young, so let him marry Jing'er as soon as possible! It will also save us elders from always doing it for us." They are worried, what do you think?"

Jing'er is Kuai Yue's nephew and Kuai Liang's daughter. She is dignified and beautiful, quiet and amiable. Liu Biao has long taken a fancy to her, and once joked that she is willing to let her be his daughter-in-law. He said this today , even if it is his official statement.

Kuai was overjoyed, and hurriedly stood up to salute, "The Kuai family is grateful for the favor of the lord, and wishes to make this marriage an unbreakable bond between the Liu and Kuai families."

Liu Biao nodded, "In two days, I'll ask a matchmaker to come and propose marriage."

.

Liu Biao finally decided to send troops to rescue Liu Bei. He immediately ordered Wenpin, Cai Mao, and Zhang Yun to advance by land and water, and led [-] Jingzhou troops to attack Cao's army besieging Xinye.

The Jingzhou army and Liu Bei's army should cooperate internally and externally to jointly attack the Cao army. Xiahou Dun was defeated and fled back to Wancheng. Cao Jun's food and grass were burned down, causing Cao Jun's food and grass to suffer heavy losses.

Xiahou Dun had to give up his plan to fight Xinye again, and wrote to Cao Cao to plead guilty.

Cao Jun's menacing southward invasion finally failed in the joint resistance of Jingzhou Army and Liu Bei Army.

The news made Jingzhou rejoice, beat gongs and drums to celebrate the victory, and pushed Liu Biao's prestige to a new height.

But Liu Biao was not very happy in his heart. For him, this was not the best ending.

. . . . . . . . .

At night, Liu Biao lay on the bed and couldn't fall asleep. He stared blankly at the roof of the tent. He was still thinking about Liu Jing's going to Jiangxia. In fact, Liu Biao had already planned to let his eldest son Liu Qi or his second son Liu Cong go to Jiangxia. Don't worry too much about Huang Zu.

Although Huang Zu was once his confidant, after Sun Jian's death, Huang Zu became increasingly arrogant and gradually controlled Jiang Xia. He had served as Jiang Xia's prefect for seven or eight years, and Jiang Xia had almost become his Huang family's territory.

Two years ago, Cao's army attacked Nanyang for the second time, and Xiangfan was shaken. Liu Biao ordered Huang Zu to fire up the Jiangxia army to help, but Huang Zu refused to send troops because of Jiangdong's threat. Last autumn, when Cao's army attacked Runan, Huang Zu still found excuses and refused to send troops Jiang Xia's army was transferred to Xiangyang, which made Liu Biao extremely dissatisfied, and he also became suspicious of Huang Zu.

But Liu Biao was worried that the eldest son Qi and the second son Cong would not be Huang Zu's opponents, so he couldn't make up his mind. This time, Liu Jing's talent showed Liu Biao admiration. It's okay to let Liu Jing go to Jiangxia, but. ． ．Liu Biao felt that he needed to find a capable helper for him.

. . . . . . . . .

Early the next morning, in the outer study, Liu Biao was discussing with a veteran in his fifties about his nephew Liu Jing learning martial arts.

This veteran is none other than Huang Zhong, a famous general from Jingzhou. Huang Zhong is over eight feet tall, has a body like a giant ape, is strong and vigorous, and his arms are as powerful as a thousand catties. Jingzhou's number one fighter.

In particular, he can open a double stone bow, and his arrows hit a hundred times. He is also known as the first arrow in Jingzhou.

Huang Zhongguan worships General Zhonglang, and he is also a well-known general in Jingzhou. He has served in the army for more than [-] years and has great prestige in the Jingzhou army

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Huang Zhong is a late blooming veteran, but in fact, he only showed up less in the Central Plains, and his deeds in the first half of his life are unknown to the world.

However, he made great military achievements in Liu Biao's struggle for Jingzhou, and followed Liu Biao in the South and North Wars, especially in the suppression of the rebellion of Zhang Xian and his son in Changsha County.

However, Huang Zhong is not Liu Biao's confidant. This is an indisputable fact. Huang Zhong finally assisted Liu Biao's nephew Liu Qing, but did not assist Liu Qi or Liu Cong. From this, it can be seen that Huang Zhong did not enter the core power circle.

The reason for this is somewhat related to Jiangxia Huangzu.

The Huang family in Jingzhou is divided into two branches, one is the Jiangxia Huang family, headed by Huang Zu, and the other is the Nanyang Huang family, headed by the famous scholar Huang Chengyan.

Huang Zhong is an important figure in the Huang family in Nanyang. Since Cao Jun had captured Nanyang County, Huang Chengyan moved his family to Jingzhou and became one of the famous families in Jingzhou.

Although they are all of the same clan, the two Huang clans are not in harmony, and are in a state of secret competition. Huang Zu relied on his deep personal relationship with Liu Biao to give the Jiangxia Huang clan the upper hand in the dispute between the two Huang clans. The Huang family in Shangnanyang belongs to a foreign family, so Liu Biao has a kind of non-native rejection of Huang Zhong in his heart.

However, Huang Zhong relied on his lofty prestige in the army, so that Liu Biao did not dare to underestimate him. He also became one of the six generals in Jingzhou, Huang Zu, Wenpin, Wang Wei, Huang Zhong, Wu Ju, Zhang Yun, Huang Zhong In charge of the [-] troops of Xiangyang South Camp.

"Originally I planned to ask Zhigong to teach that kid martial arts, but I felt it was inappropriate. On the one hand, Zhigong is his boss, so it is inconvenient to teach him. More importantly, he does not want to learn martial arts from Zhigong. Last time I asked him, I felt that he was right. You are very revered, I wonder if General Huang is willing to teach me this bad nephew?"

The Zhigong that Liu Biao is talking about here is Wang Wei. Wang Wei wrote a letter to Liu Biao yesterday, praising Liu Jing's performance in the past three months, praising him for his natural commanding ability, and hoping that Liu Biao can train Liu Jing to become a Jingzhou leader. pillar of the pillar.

It was not easy to get Wang Wei's compliment, and Wang Wei was Liu Biao's most trusted confidant, so his suggestion was more convincing than Liu Bei's persuasion.

Liu Biao thought about it all night. He really needed to train his three nephews and let them guard the Quartet for him. Among the three, he especially valued Liu Jing.

So early this morning, Liu Biao invited Huang Zhong over, hoping that he could teach Liu Jing how to practice martial arts.

In fact, as early as a few months ago when Liu Jing defeated Cai Jin, Huang Zhong had the idea of ​​accepting Liu Jing as his disciple. Liu Jing's calmness as calm as Mount Tai in the last sword left a deep impression on him. It was the first time he saw the boy.

But later Huang Zhong learned that Liu Jing was learning martial arts from Zhao Yun, so he gave up the idea of ​​accepting Liu Jing as his apprentice. A gentleman should not take the love of others, this is Huang Zhong's consistent principle of life.

This time Liu Biao asked him to teach Liu Jing how to learn martial arts, and Huang Zhong was also very embarrassed. Although he already knew that Liu Jing did not worship Zhao Yun as his teacher, it was still unrealistic for Liu Jing to switch to his own school. After all, this is not Liu Jing. own will.

In fact, there is another reason for Huang Zhong to hesitate, that is, Liu Jingnian is 17 years old, already an adult, and he can no longer build a foundation to improve his muscles and bones, so how can he learn his own dragon-breaking sword technique.

It's just that Liu Biao's request made him unable to refuse, Huang Zhong could only bow his hands and clasped his fists and said, "My lord has an order, and the general dares not to obey. As long as Mr. Jing is willing, the general can teach him at any time."

"Okay! With your words, I feel relieved."

"Then I will resign first, Mr. Jing can come to me at any time."

Liu Biao had already sent someone to look for Liu Jing, and he didn't know when he would come, so he didn't keep Huang Zhong, and nodded, "You go first! I'll talk to him later."

Huang Zhong saluted, and slowly retreated, leaving only Liu Biao in the room.

Liu Biao walked to the window with his hands behind his back, his brows were serious. An incident happened in Jingzhou last month. The Xiangyang Armory checked the weapons and found that [-] crossbows and [-] knives were missing.

When he was furiously searching for the whereabouts of the weapons, Cang Caozheng who was arrested died strangely in prison. Once this key person died, the clues of the missing weapons case were broken.

This big case has been settled due to the invasion of Cao Jun, but it sounded the alarm in Liu Biao's heart. He knew that this matter must be related to several big families. These families are loyal to him in name, but in fact they are secretly Cultivate power.

Even though he promised to marry the Kuai family yesterday, it doesn't mean he trusts the Kuai family. The marriage is just a political means to tie the family to Liu Biao.

The strength and secret development of the aristocratic family made Liu Biao deeply realize that outsiders are not reliable, and only the family's children are the staunch defenders of the Liu family's community in Jingzhou.

He began to pay more attention to the children of his family than ever before. In addition to ordering his younger brother Liu Du to guard Lingling County, he also planned to let his nephew Liu Qing take charge of Changsha County, but he lacked ability and qualifications, so Liu Biao temporarily appointed Liu Qing as Changsha County Chancellor.

The other one is Liu Jing, who is also the nephew that he puts great hopes on, especially in this battle of Xinye, Liu Jing's performance has impressed him, and he has decided to train this excellent Liu family child well.

At this time, a guard came from outside the door to report, "My lord, Mr. Jing is here."
