Chapter 774 Full of Pets Entering Xiangyang (Thank you Su Feng for letting go of the truck for the five yuan reward)
Xiangyang.

Since Liu Biao moved the Jingzhou government to Xiangyang, Xiangyang has become more and more prosperous. Especially after more than ten years of Liu Biao's governance, countless refugees fled from the Central Plains to Jingzhou. Like the cloud, counselors don't know how many people there are.

Because of his loyalty to the Han Dynasty, Liu Biao became the most famous prince in the world. Because he seldom participated in the disputes of the princes, he became the target of the princes' wooing.

There have been no major wars in recent years, making Jingzhou one of the most affluent lands in the world, even more attractive than Xuzhou. Therefore, Zhang Xian, the prefect of Changsha, Wuling Man, and water bandits often attacked and rioted, and Liu Biao sent troops to calm them down.

In Jiangdong and Yanzhou, where there is an urgent shortage of food and grass, Liu Biao of Jingzhou is undoubtedly a big piece of fat. If Liu Bei is not watching, the two of them will definitely divide it.

Cao Cao sent two waves of envoys, but Liu Biao refused without hesitation, because the pro-Jin faction around him, such as Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, Han Song, Wang Can and other literati, advocated for Liu Bei that "the clan of the Han Dynasty is one family" .

Liu Biao is very close to Jin under such remarks, and Liu Bei is called the second Liu Xiu. Liu Biao also hopes that Liu Bei can rule the world as soon as possible. It is always good for the world to return to the Liu family.

As for Xu Du's posthumous son, he will be controlled by Cao Cao sooner or later. In the Han Dynasty, there were too many relatives in politics, and all the generals had relatives to take over.

Huo Guang, Wang Mang, Liang Ji, He Jin, and Dou Wu are not good people.

A mature emperor is good for the Han Dynasty and the world.

Man Chong came to Xiangyang again, and he found that Xiangyang City suddenly became serious, and the guards at the gate even searched the passing merchants and pedestrians.

Man Chong felt that something was wrong, so he got out of the car and ordered his servants to enter the city, but they were all stopped by the guards at the gate and invited to enter the city.

He fled in full of excitement, and then went to Lumen Mountain outside Xiangyang City.

There is a small Pang Shangshu residence in Lumen Mountain.

The young Pang Shangshu is Pang Degong, who is well-known in the world for his proficiency in Shangshu, and he is not an official title.

Pang Degong was a famous scholar in Xiangyang. Liu Biao conscripted him many times, but he couldn't give up. He lived in seclusion in Lumen Mountain.

The reason why Man Chong came to Lumen Mountain was because Pang Degong had a wide network of contacts in Xiangyang, and he was a famous wise man, so he must have instructable strategies.

Man Chong came here to be recommended by someone else. That person is Wang Can's father, Wang Qian. Wang Qian is the son of Wang Chang, a well-known party member. Why is Wang Qian's entry into the history, higher than Chen Linji's.

Man Chong is well-known in the county, so he naturally gets the attention of Wang Qian who resigned from office.

Wang Can was well-known in Xiangyang, and he had a discussion with Pang Degong. Although Pang Degong didn't like Wang Can's unruly, he admired his literary talent.

Man Chong brought Wang Qian's famous card to see Pang Degong, Pang Degong was still a little surprised, and said to his son: "It can explain the purpose of coming."

Pang Shanmin shook his head, and said: "Go back to my father, not at all. Now that Chen Zhen is here in Xiangyang, Cai Mao and others are hosting banquets for several days. The pro-Jin faction in the city must be very powerful. He must come to see Liu Jingzhou. Father, do you want to see me?"

Pang Degong looked at Wang Qian's famous post and said: "See, if I don't see it, my decades-accumulated reputation of the Pang family will be ruined! As for whether it can be done or not, it depends on Man Boning's own ability?"

Pang Shanmin nodded and said, "Then welcome him in."

Pang Degong waved his hand and said: "No, just say that a certain person went to the mountain to collect medicine, and take him to see Ji Zirou."

"Here!"

Man Chong was taken by Pang Shanmin to meet the Kuai brothers. With Pang's carriage from Lumen Mountain, Man Chong was able to easily enter Xiangyang City.

After Kuai Liang got the news from Pang Shanmin, he immediately sent someone to invite Kuai Yue, and the two brothers sat together to discuss.

"Brother, Cai Degui obviously wants to put the treasure on Liu Bei. From my point of view, this is not a wise move."

Kuai Yue spoke first.

Kuai Liang said: "What? You don't like King Jin?"

Kuai Yue shook his head: "It's not that someone is not optimistic about the king of Jin, but that he is not optimistic about the lord. The situation in the world is very obvious now. The family of the king of Jin is the only one. However, the king of Jin unified Hebei. The war has just ended, and the barbarians are in chaos. , I am afraid it will be difficult to launch a reunification war. However, although Cao Cao has been militaristic over the years, he has destroyed Yuan Shu and the Yellow Turban successively, and his territory has more than doubled? Cao Jun is a hungry wolf, and if he wins Xuzhou, he will definitely destroy Jingzhou."

Kuai Liang said: "Then shouldn't we prevent Man Boning from going to see the lord?"

Kuai Yue: "No! If my lord does not form an alliance with Sun Ce and others, he will be divided up by Cao Cao. Cao Jun and Jiangdong's army are like hungry wolves. If they don't attack Xuzhou, they will swallow Jingzhou, and the king of Jin is unable to go south. So why don't you and I push the boat along? , although the lord has a heart for the King of Jin, sooner or later he will be drawn by the King of Jin."

"But if you and I invite Man Chong to meet the lord, won't you offend Cai Degui?"

Kuai Liang was not without worries. Now Cai Mao and his cousin Zhang Yun were in charge of the military, and his younger sister was Liu Biao's stepwife.

Kuai Yue said disdainfully: "As the saying goes, if you want to suppress, you must raise it. Cai Degui's power today must be deliberately done by the lord. I am afraid that he will suppress it next time. Otherwise, this Jingzhou will not be the Jingzhou of the King of Jin."

Kuai Liang nodded: "Then take a gamble."

Kuai Yue nodded.

The Kuai brothers are Liu Biao's confidantes, and they are already the main counselors used to check and balance Cai's relatives. Therefore, it is extremely easy to see Liu Biao, but it is not easy to keep a secret.

The Kuai brothers took advantage of Cai Mao's banquet for Chen Zhen and took Man Chong in disguise to meet Liu Biao. Liu Biao was playing chess with his confidant. Seeing Kuai Yue approaching, he hurriedly greeted him: "Come at a different speed, and play a game with a certain one."

"Lord."

Halfway between the two, Liu Biao asked, as if suddenly seeing the servant brought by Kuai Yue, "Yi Du, who is this?"

Kuai Yue put down the chess pieces in his hand, and said respectfully: "My lord, I met a cook a few days ago, he was very good at cooking seafood, and I specially invited him to see my lord."

"Oh!"

Where in the spring is the time to cook fresh fish, Liu Biao knew that there must be something interesting in it, and watched the cook coldly serve all the fresh fish.

Liu Biao didn't even have the desire to taste it, he just looked at the cook in a daze, watched him arrange the food box and said, "Man Boning, when did you become a cook?"

Man Chong kept working, and said: "It's not easy for the minister to see the envoy, but for this disguise, I might not be able to see the envoy."

Hearing this, Liu Biao's eyes flashed coldly. He naturally knew what Man Chong meant. It seemed that Cai Mao had really overdone it, but this was what Liu Biao meant. He looked at Man Chong and said, "This time, what else do you want?" Words, if nothing new!"

"If there is nothing new, I would like to die in front of the envoy."

Man Chong said, "Master, can you know the news of the Taishan Rebellion?"

Liu Biao nodded, the Taishan bandits made the whole Mount Tai restless, and even most of Yanzhou would fall into military disaster, how could he not know that this is the main reason why Liu Biao let Cai Mao and other pro-Jin faction go.

Man Chong said again: "My lord, how can I know that this Taishan bandit rebellion is supported by Lu Xuzhou, and there is also a general of the Jin army leading the army."

Liu Biao looked at Man Chong and said nothing, no matter how he looked at it, he seemed to be taking advantage of Liu Bei, so he had to be friendly with Liu Bei.
