Sima Yi's words immediately caused Wei Yan to fall into silence.

Even if Sima Yi now promises that Wei Yan is safe, Wei Yan can still imagine what the consequences will be if he refuses.

"Teacher, I, Wei Yan, won't accept anyone in Jingzhou, but I will accept you!" Wei Yan clasped his fist towards Sima Yi, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Liu Biao, the mediocre master, is now dead, let's go. It's time to plan for yourself!"

Hearing this, Sima Yi looked at Wei Yan with a smile.Then Wei Yan said again: "Liu Xuande is the master of the world, and I, Wei Yan, also believe in the vision of the military adviser. If the military adviser has any orders, just give them the order, and go through fire and water."

Hearing that Wei Yan finally spoke, Sima Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and even said, "Okay! With the help of Chief Wen, there will be a little more hope for the lord's great cause!"

Immediately, Sima Yi told Wei Yan what he had discussed with Liu Bei and Pang Tong, and then smiled: "Mr. Wen, the eldest son Liu Qi has already run away, whether you can convince the second son Liu Cong depends on your performance. If the second son Liu Cong is willing to help our lord Liu Xuande, then the lord is in charge of Jingzhou, so I don't need to say more about the importance of this matter!"

Wei Yan hurriedly folded his hands and said, "Please rest assured, strategist, Wei Yan will never bear the heavy trust!"

Without any hesitation, Wei Yan even asked someone to invite Liu Cong, ready to persuade Liu Cong immediately.However, Sima Yi went to other rooms in Wei Yan's mansion to avoid temporarily, ready to wait for the good news from Wei Yan.

It was not that Sima Yi was unwilling to persuade Liu Cong personally, but that Sima Yi and Cai Mao and others had formed a deadly feud on the issue of whether to fight or surrender in Jingzhou. Later, when Liu Di decided to go to war, it was even more at the instigation of Sima Yi. Killed everyone in the Cai family.

And this second son, Liu Cong, was born to Sima Yi's concubine, the Cai clan. In the past, Liu Cong was able to run wild in Jingzhou because of the support of the Cai clan.However, since the war in Jingzhou, Liu Cong's status has declined sharply. Later, even the civil servants and military generals who had previously depended on him completely abandoned him.

And the culprit that caused Liu Cong to end like this is naturally Sima Yi.It is for this reason that Liu Cong hated Sima Yi deeply.Therefore, Sima Yi had no chance at all to persuade Liu Cong to turn to Liu Bei.

But Wei Yan is different. Wei Yan has followed Liu Biao for a long time, and this qualification and weight are important enough.Wei Yan had never had a conflict with Liu Cong in many matters in Jingzhou, so it was naturally the most appropriate choice for Wei Yan to persuade Liu Cong.

It didn't take long for Liu Cong to arrive at Wei Yan's house with some joy, but Wei Yan's first sentence made Liu Cong stunned.

"Young master, you are already in trouble, do you know that?" Wei Yan looked at the excitement in Liu Cong's eyes, sneered in his heart, and said.Qiankun Tingshu Network www.qktsw.com

Liu Cong was stunned for a moment, but his heart trembled violently.Today that Liu Qi ran away, and Liu Cong is the only heir left in Jingzhou. When Wei Yan sent someone to invite him, Liu Cong thought that Wei Yan was trying to show his loyalty, but he just came to Wei Yan's house. He was so fooled by Wei Yan's words that he didn't dare to change.It's just that Liu Cong thought about it for a long time, but he didn't understand what Wei Yan meant. He could only ask in confusion: "General Wen, why do you say that? Could it be that something happened again?"

Wei Yan looked at Liu Cong's appearance, and he had already guessed what he was thinking, and then he sighed and said, "Young Master, do you know why the old master entrusted Jingzhou to Jingzhou? For Liu Bei?"

"This...because Liu Xuande is unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness?" Liu Cong replied somewhat uncertainly. Liu Biao's original decision did not bother Liu Cong for a long time, but at that time, the Cai family had just perished, and no one would care about him at all. Liu Cong's thoughts.

Hearing Liu Cong's words, Wei Yan laughed softly, and then said sternly, "Young Master must think that the old master is too confused, so he didn't hand over the power to you or Master Liu Qi!" He was keenly aware of the dimness in Liu Cong's eyes, and realized that he was on the point, and immediately said again: "Young Master, have you ever thought that if you were in charge of Nanyang, would you still be alive now?"

Liu Cong was startled, but he had arrived because of this incident, but he had never thought about Wei Yan's problem at the moment.If Liu Cong had come to lead the army in the Battle of Nanyang, I am afraid it would not be long before he would be cut off by various rebels and dedicated to Liu Rui!

"Master, the old master did this to protect you, because only Liu Bei and Liu Xuande would take in a Han clan like you." Wei Yan's words immediately made Liu Cong's heart sink to the bottom, and he didn't wait for him to react. Then Wei Yan continued: "Young master is young and vigorous, and he has never managed government and military affairs. Do you know how many people in this world have been killed by subordinates' rebellion? The old master's good intentions are to make Liu Bei look at him. In the past, I took care of you in love, but unfortunately, Young Master Liu Qi didn't know what to do, and he still wanted to seize power on his own..."

Liu Cong was already frightened by Wei Yan's words, and even hurriedly asked: "General Wen, you are my father's old subordinate, can't you help me?" At this moment, Liu Cong was still a little unwilling to give up. , still thinking about being able to become the Lord of Jingzhou...

Wei Yan sneered, then said with a smile: "Young master, wake up! Even if we help you, then what? Then Liu Rui is eyeing the north, and Cao Cao and Sun Ce are annexing the city and land of Jingzhou. At that time, if there is no Liu Xuande, What will happen to you, son?"

Liu Cong was completely speechless, but the unwillingness in his heart still made him open his mouth, but after all, he couldn't say anything!

"If your son doesn't want to submit to Liu Xuande, then it's fine. At the end of the day, he will accompany him to go crazy. Let's enjoy the glory and wealth before we die. What do you think, son?" Wei Yan sneered, and then looked at Liu with cold eyes. Cong.

Liu Cong had nothing to say for a long time, and his face was constantly changing, sometimes resentful, sometimes hesitant, and sometimes extremely aggrieved, but in the end, Liu Cong finally shrank his neck and said, "Okay, I Listen to you, I will go to Liu Xuande now..."

Wei Yan bowed his hands with a smile, and then smiled: "Young Master Yingming, as long as you have helped, Liu Xuande will definitely be grateful to you in the future. If nothing else, you need not worry about the glory and wealth in this life."

Liu Cong nodded, and as if relieved, he took Wei Yan's hand and said, "General Wen, thank you for reminding me today, otherwise I will inevitably end up dead!"

Wei Yan repeatedly complimented Liu Cong's heart with just a few words.At the end, the two of them also arrived at Liu Bei's mansion together. , , .

610: Close Jingzhou

Liu Cong's take refuge in, can be regarded as a complete solution to Liu Bei's worries.

After Liu Qi escaped, although he did not accuse Liu Bei of anything, those rumors had regarded Liu Bei as a heinous villain who killed Liu Biao and forced Liu Qi to occupy Jingzhou.

Now that Liu Cong has taken refuge with Liu Bei, these rumors are naturally broken without attacking.However, there are still some voices saying that Liu Bei bullied Liu Cong when he was young and ignorant, and deliberately intimidated and threatened Liu Cong to bow his head.

Of course, Liu Bei couldn't do anything about these things, but now Liu Bei doesn't care about these things at all.

At this moment, Liu Bei was meeting with the nobles and gentry from all over Jingzhou. These people were all introduced by Sima Yi.

When Liu Biao first arrived in Jingzhou, it was because of the support of many aristocratic families that he was able to master the huge Jingzhou in a short period of time.

It's just that this Liu Biao is also an aristocratic family, and his defeat is also an aristocratic family. Before Liu Rui attacked Jingzhou, there were two factions of the main battle and the main and the peace in Jingzhou.Under the guidance of Sima Yi, Liu Biao chose to fight to the death, but Cai Mao and others wanted to rely on Liu Rui in private, and it was because of this that Liu Biao started killing the Cai family.

In that battle, Cai Mao's family was completely eliminated, and his power in the army was uprooted.

Among the aristocratic families in Jingzhou, the Jing family of the Cai family is in the hands, and Cai Mao of the Cai family was killed by Liu Biao in the last round of competition, and has long since ceased to exist.Sima Yi also used this to make Wei Yan force Liu Cong, who was supported by the Cai family, to join Liu Bei.

However, the Jing family is still strong, and there are other big families such as the Ma family and the Pang family.Officials from these aristocratic families are all over Jingzhou, and they firmly hold the lifelines of Jingzhou.If he could not get the approval of these noble families, then even if Liu Bei occupied the city, he would be a tree without a source of water.

Before Liu Qi escaped, these noble families were faintly showing signs of loosening.However, Liu Cong, who followed closely behind, bowed his head to Liu Bei, but it was to let all aristocratic families see Liu Bei's means.

It is precisely for this reason that under Sima Yi's strong invitation, countless officials from aristocratic families have gathered in this Xinye City.

"Everyone, when Brother Qiansheng was alive, he entrusted the entire Jingzhou to me. At that time, Brother Jingsheng told me that everyone here is the backbone of our Jingzhou, and I, Liu, have long thought Visiting you all one by one, but the battle was busy, so it was delayed!" Liu Bei looked at everyone in the arena, raised his glass, and said with a smile.

Everyone in the field did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly raised their glasses and drank with Liu Bei.After one sip was exhausted, someone stood up and bowed to Liu Bei and said, "Excuse me, Duke Xuande, now that Liu Rui's army is in Nanyang, and Jingzhou is already at stake, what are you going to do?"

"Good question! This is the question I want to discuss with everyone today!" Liu Bei praised and said with a smile, "When I came to help King Shenggong, I had already discussed it with Lu Fengxian in Xuzhou, and now Now that he has led the army to the vicinity of Jingzhou, he will be able to rush to Xinye in a few days, and when the two armies meet, even if Liu Rui fights, I have no fear!"

Of course, Liu Bei couldn't say that Lu Bu was nearby. If so, everyone would know that Lu Bu had bad intentions for Jingzhou.

However, Liu Bei's words reassured everyone in Jingzhou.However, there are still people who are puzzled: "Duke Xuande, then Cao Cao and Sun Ce are raiding around Jingzhou, do you know what wisdom Xuande has?" Peerless Tangmen www.jueshitangmen.info

Liu Bei nodded. This question involves the future interests of the major families present. If Liu Bei cannot guarantee these families, I am afraid that these people will inevitably turn to others in the future.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei chuckled and said, "You don't need to worry, I have already written a letter to that Cao Mengde. We had some friendship in the past. I want to see it for my face, then Cao Mengde will not dare to go too far!"

After a pause, Liu Bei looked at Sima Yi again and said with a smile: "Zhongda has also sent messengers to Jiangdong to find Sun Ce, the enemy of the feudal lords is Liu Rui, the thief of the state, and Sun Ce is also a sensible man and will definitely not ask for his own death. the way."

Many aristocratic families are nodding their heads again and again. Now, it seems that Liu Bei's methods are much higher than Liu Biao's. Just looking at his calm demeanor, he is a hundred times stronger than Liu Biao.
