Liu He insisted on leaving. Everyone had their own aspirations, so I knew I couldn't force him. Besides, Liu He wasn't an outstanding talent, so it wasn't that useful to me to stay. So I said, "Fine! You actually want to travel in the mountains, I will send you a good field! After all, it would still be supported by the imperial government! If you have any difficulties in the future, you can look for me! I will help you! To comfort the Great Sima's spirit in heaven! "
Liu He cupped his hands and bowed, then said: "Thank you, Jiao Prefecture Fan! I will advise Xianyu Fu and the others to serve Jiao Prefecture Fan! As for Tian Ji, Yan Rou and the others, they have been dispatched in the mountains, I will also send someone to deliver the message for them to surrender to Jiao Prefecture Fan! They were loyal to my father for many years, and then they followed me without changing their loyalty. Sigh! My family has treated them too much, they should have found a master to establish their name in this world, this is my family's last wish for them! " I smiled, bowed deeply to Liu He, and said: "Chang Le, thank you, Master Xiang!"
Sure enough, Xianyu Fu and Yu Shuang had surrendered under Liu He's persuasion, while Tian Xuan and Yan Rou had also descended with their people. I naturally wouldn't classify them as Gongsun Zan's subordinates. After all, I was afraid that they would clash with Gongsun Zan, and even the Liu He Jin Division was quite a distance away from where Gongsun Zan's army was stationed.
After accepting Department Liu He, my heart was naturally overjoyed, and I had spread the news all around so that Liu Biao had no choice but to fear it. But what I didn't expect was that Liu Biao actually sent someone to invite them for peace.
I looked at Liu Biao's emissary, Fu Xun, and said: "Can Jingzhou Liu really let go of the past?" Fu Xun said respectfully, "Yes! My master is willing to help Jiao Prefecture! "Friendly interaction!" I didn't understand why Liu Biao had stopped the negotiation. Just then, Chen Zhi came to my side and whispered into my ear.
"What!?" Liu Biao was attacked by Yuan Shu? " I shouted loudly. Fu Xun turned pale with fright when he heard it, because he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to complete his mission this time. I looked at Fu Xun's extremely terrified expression, intentionally causing him to continue to be terrified, while I remained silent. Chen Zhi observed me carefully and understood why I shouted so loudly.
"My lord!" Liu Biao coming here to negotiate is just a plan of power, after he recovers his strength he will definitely launch a new round of attack, he cannot raise a tiger and create trouble! Moreover, if Liu Biao does not take revenge by massacring our people, how can we face the citizens who have died? How could he explain this to the civilians and soldiers? Please take advantage of the moment when Liu Biao is about to catch fire and immediately raise your army to attack Jingzhou to take revenge! "
Fu Xun was even more speechless, his face was filled with the word despair. I showed my benevolent side and said with a sigh, "Sigh! The weapons of the soldiers were also used by the Saints! Now that war was coming, the suffering was always the common people! Besides, since when had the enmity been reported, why should we kill each other when we're all big men? All the people need now is peace and stability! I can't bear to see the people suffer! But I am also worried, afraid that Jingzhou Liu will negotiate so … " I deliberately paused and looked at Fu Xun.
After Fu Xun heard what I said, he seemed to have grasped onto a glimmer of hope and anxiously said: "Please rest assured Jiao Prefecture Fan! We are sincere in negotiating peace! I guarantee that I won't fight with the Jiao Prefecture again in the future! " I laughed and said, "Good! What else could I not trust in the words of Fu Gongti? Gongti! Now, Chang Le will sign a pact with you that we won't attack each other! " Fu Xun was overjoyed that I placed so much importance on him, so I left a good impression on his heart.
Liu Biao and I could not attack each other, but Liu Biao had no choice but to kill him. I'll go back and raise my troops and prepare for battle.
Once I returned to Jiao Prefecture, I received reports that Qiu Ju was disrespectful to Xiao Ying. I was furious and wanted to capture Qiu Ju and punish her for her crimes.
After Xiao Ying heard this, he rushed over to find me. As soon as he saw me, he asked: "Re, did you send people to capture Qiu Ju?" Yes! Xiao Ying, she dares to be disrespectful to you! I will punish her for her crimes and avenge you! " I thought Xiao Ying would be happy.
"NO!" I, if you punish Qiu Ju, not only will it not make me happy, it will also ensnare me in injustice! I'm afraid this is not what you, who love me, want to see! " I stared at Xiao Ying and asked, "What do you mean?" However, Xiao Ying didn't answer first. Instead, he cupped his hands towards me and said, "Here, let me congratulate you first!" "Huh?" It made me confused. The answer I didn't get before was strange now.
Xiao Ying said: "What I congratulate is that after elder sister Xian You, Qiu Ju has always said that elder sister is loyal to her, and she is even as loyal to you as elder sister is. Um, think about it. The people in your territory are loyal to you, as if this wasn't a good thing? " I smiled and said, "Xiao Ying, you're right!"
If my wife, Zhao An, and her father die for my country when they resist the invasion of the Fushan Kingdom, and if she is punished for her loyalty to my sister, then not only will I harm my sister's spirit in heaven, but I will also bear the name of injustice!" "Boom …" Xiao Ying looked at me expectantly, knowing what I would do. I nodded, thinking of my brothers who fought against the enemies for the country. How could I bear to hurt their loved ones on earth? I interrupted Xiao Ying and said, "I understand! I'll let her go!
Xiao Ying added, "Don't say that I'm the one who asked for it! Just say it's your own idea! " I stared at Xiao Ying, then thought about it and said, "Just say that she's Zhao An's mother! Thinking of her! I feel sad! I might as well give her this favor, consider it as Zhao An doing a good deed for Qiu Ju! " Xiao Ying was overjoyed, "Alright! Great! Just do it! "
I will follow what Xiao Ying and I discussed. After Qiu Ju was released, he went to find Zhao An's mother, and Zhao An's mother told him everything. Seeing that she had offended Xiao Ying again and again, not only did Qiu Ju not blame her, but she had also been saved. She was extremely grateful to Xiao Ying and was even willing to serve him. Yet Xiao Ying treated her like his own sister.
Time passed by like a white horse, and three months went by …
Suddenly, a scout reported: "Master, Wu Jing and Sun Xin Dai, who are stationed at the border, sent their over a thousand men to vote for Sun Jian! Should we send troops to chase after them? " I sighed and said, "Alas! Even if they could, they wouldn't be able to hold back! Let them go! Anyway, what we are most concerned about right now is the situation of the Jingzhou! Wu Jing and Sun Jian are relatives, let's just do them a favor and send Wu Jing away! We have to stabilize Sun Jian and prevent him from attacking our Jiao Prefecture. "
I changed the topic and asked, "Has there been any unforeseen events in Jingzhou?" Chen Zhi stepped forward and said, "I heard that Liu Biao's fight with Yuan Shu has slowed down, so Liu Biao pretended to submit to Yuan Shu, and wanted to make Yuan Shu switch to attacking us!"
Hearing that, I unconsciously stood up, I stared at Chen Zhi and asked, "Second brother, what did you say? Yuan Shu really wants to attack us instead? " Chen Zhi nodded his head, and said: "Liu Biao said that there are a lot of beauties in the Jiao Prefecture, Yuan Shu was originally a lustful person, and furthermore, he has seen Feng Fang Nu before, he drooled over her beauties, and he even dreamt of snatching my Fei! This is so hateful! " After Chen Zhi finished speaking, he clenched his fists and waved them vigorously, as he said while gnashing his teeth.
I said, "That's not all, is it?" Chen Zhi spat out, and said: "That idiot Yuan Shu, actually believed Liu Biao's words, he said that Jingzhou has been through many wars and is in a state of ruin, and cannot be compared to the Jiao Prefecture which has been united for a long time, our economy is developing at a rapid pace, and most importantly, our fighting strength is not strong enough! The Jiao Prefecture could attack and defend, it was advantageous for them to be in a different base compared to the enemies that surrounded them from all four sides! Yuan Shu is such a big idiot! "Stupid to death!"
I lowered my head and pondered for a moment, then said: "One thing is, Liu Biao gave all the places near the Jiao Prefecture to Yuan Shu, thus occupying the northern part of the Jingzhou. Yuan Shu is now using the southern part of the Jingzhou to help him go south to the Jiao Prefecture, and Liu Biao has already feigned submission, so he has even more of nothing to worry about! Yuan Shu was greedy and insatiable, like a dried up bone in a grave, he would be captured and killed sooner or later! How can I be afraid of him when he has not enough men of war and does not know how to take pity on the people? Second Brother, don't worry! This time, I am at the same home as Yuan Shu, I hope second brother will do his best to help me! " Chen Zhi nodded and replied, "Mmm! I will! Rest assured! "
"Report!" waiting riding flew to report: "Master, Yuan Shu has sent someone to send a written challenge!" Without even looking, I said, "Okay! Accept Yuan Shu's challenge! I want to personally lead the troops to defeat Yuan Shu, since we have already accumulated for three months, it is time for us to send troops up the Jingzhou to occupy Jingzhou! "Command our troops to prepare and send troops!"
In order to deal with Yuan Shu, I will gather the generals. I asked for advice: "What brilliant plan does everyone have to defeat Yuan Shu?" Everyone was whispering to each other, and all eyes were focused on Qian Zheng. They thought he could tell them the best way.
