Jingzhou, Wuling County.

Twelve counties of Wuling, Linyuan is the capital city.

Linyuan City at night, the curfew is strict and silent.

Taishou House.

Liu Ba was a young man who became famous, alarmed Shilin, and was repeatedly cited as filial piety and honesty, all of which were politely refused, and even Liu Biao had repeatedly recruited it for use, but he refused, on the one hand, he was concentrating on learning, and on the other hand, he saw the situation clearly and waited for the master.

However, the current situation is turbulent and dazzling, and Jingzhou is in chaos again and again.

Wuling became the center of the war between Jingzhou and Yizhou, the people were miserable, abandoned by Jingzhou several times, and did not dare to take it for Yizhou, but also at the beginning of the war, countless families were shattered, and families were destroyed.

Liu Ba was ordered to be in danger, and he was supported by several Confucians in the county, and he was entrusted by more than ten families, and he went to Jiangxia alone, faced Jingzhou Mu, and led the order of Wuling.

In the past few years, although he tried his best, the realm of Wuling was difficult to reverse, and this place has been an unavoidable place for Yizhou Jingzhou to start a war, Yizhou is constantly tempting, and Jingzhou is constantly responding.

The entire Wuling Tomb is like a boat drifting with the current, and there is no resting place.

Tonight, Liu Ba admired the moon under the gazebo, facing the bright moonlight and bright stars, but his heart was unstoppable, and in anger, he raised the wine cup and sipped in, and couldn't help but angrily reprimand the sky: "Everyone in the world is in authority, who cares about the life and death of my Wuling!" ”

He wasn't depressed.

It is a shame to show what he has learned, but he can't think about it, and he is ashamed of the trust given to him by his father and fellow villagers.

"Lord Fuzun, something is wrong!"

A fast horse, eight hundred miles in a hurry, entered the city late at night and rushed into the Taishou Mansion.

"What's the matter, so alarmed?"

After all, Liu Ba is a generation of celebrities, with his own bearing in front of people, calm and unfazed, and as safe as Mount Tai.

"Wuxi Man......"

The scout of the county soldier prostrate on the ground, his voice trembled, and he finished a sentence in half a voice: "It's the opposite!" ”

"What?"

Liu Ba suddenly stood up and glared angrily: "How could Wuxi Man be reversed?" ”

"They have occupied the county seat, and they have openly violated the order, Kou people!"

The scout said: "Youyang Chenyang has fallen!" ”

"How so?"

The barbarians in the territory have always been peaceful, and he rarely hears the words of the common people, but he has heard that these barbarians have a connection with Yizhou, and he only treats them as rumors, and does not harm Wuling, and he does not care about the rest of the details.

However, Wuxi broke through the siege of the thieves, attacked the county seat, and plundered the people, which made him extremely angry.

"Someone!"

"In!"

"Gather the soldiers!" Although Liu Ba is a famous man and a scholar, he is also good at reading military books, and in the face of the enemy Koulin County, even if he knows that he has little experience on the battlefield, he must lead the troops in armor and go into battle to kill the enemy.

"No!"

…………………………

Three days later, Wuling guarded Liu Ba and led 3,000 Wuling soldiers to the southwest suburbs of Yuannan County, and 1,000 to the enemy.

Encounter and fight.

In one day of the battle, the Wuling soldiers were defeated.

Liu Ba led more than 1,000 remnants of the army and returned to Yuancheng.

There are two more people, the barbarian soldiers in Linyuan City, the people of the city, the hearts of the people, and the squires and wealthy families in the city are even more frightened, and they gather in the Taishou Mansion to discuss countermeasures.

Liu Ba fought a few days ago, injured his left arm, fortunately the county soldiers desperately begged each other, so he could escape with his life, even so, it was a big injury, his face was pale, he sat cross-legged on top of the high position, his face was expressionless.

"Lord Fuzun, the thieves are already in the city today, please come out with an idea!"

A squire and a celebrity, more than sixty years old, stood up, trembling and trembling, and his voice trembled.

"This government has sent someone to hold the name of the post, please Lingyang County and Jingzhou City's Jingzhou defenders, go to my Wuling reinforcements, it will take time, you don't need to be impatient, don't panic, my Linyuan is a palace city, the city is high and thick, just thieves, not a problem!"

Liu Ba wanted to try his best to appease people's hearts, but people's hearts were in turmoil and it was difficult to suppress them.

"Lord Fuzun, it's not that we don't trust you, it's the army of Jingzhou, it's hard for people to trust it!" Someone stood up and said in a low voice: "It's been a while since the thieves and thieves came to the county, but they are indifferent at all!" ”

"This is obviously not treating Wuling as Jingzhou!"

"The people of Jingzhou are cowardly, how dare they send troops to rule for my Wuling!"

The crowd was indignant.

This is Jingzhou's own sin, the past war, Wuling was captured, Jingzhou for the overall situation and not to crusade, time, the end of the war, Wuling returned to Jingzhou's embrace, but Jingzhou Prefecture has moved westward, Jiangxia Changsha, Fang is the center, Wuling is adjacent to Yizhou, sooner or later for the battlefield, why work hard, sooner or later a ruin, so there is no willingness to make much effort to rectify.

There is what happened today, and the people's hearts are difficult.

"Everyone, please believe in this mansion, this mansion will not let the thieves even die, mess with my martial arts, fish my people, I should lead the troops in front of the city, at any cost, fight to the death and delay the enemy, I will definitely be able to drag our army reinforcements to!"

Liu Ba faced the squires and said in a low voice.

"Lord Fuzun, you are from our Wuling, we naturally can trust you, but in the current situation, we Wuling, we can't sit still!" A middle-aged man, who is a member of the squire family in Linyuan City, surnamed Jiang, and the head of Linyuan County, he bowed to Liu Ba, and then said: "If Jingzhou can't defend against our enemies, is it possible, our Wuling will be attacked by these thieves, so that the people will not live in peace, and the sky will be angry and resentful?" ”

"What do you suggest?"

Liu Ba squinted, glanced at this Jiang master book, and asked.

"Although Wuling belongs to Jingzhou, it can be in Yizhou, and now Yizhou City, Jiangzhou City is here, but more than a thousand miles, Yizhou Jingbingtun and Fuling, Youyang, but more than a day!" Master Jiang pondered for a moment, and then said, "Can we please help Yizhou?" ”

"Please help Yizhou?"

When everyone heard this, some people moved, some people were frightened, and some people were not very happy.

"How can it be, Yizhou is the enemy of Jingzhou, if we ask for help from Yizhou now, how will we face Jingzhou's punishment in the future?"

"Yizhou is also the Han Dynasty, and the Marquis of Ming is the Marquis of Han, please the soldiers of Yizhou to sweep the enemy of our Wuling, how can it not work!"

"Now that I'm Wuling, I've come to this point, and I'm still afraid that he won't be punished by Jingzhou!"

"Jingzhou is useless against the enemy, but what can we do, we should find a way out for ourselves, is it possible, watching us Linyuan City break, and doing nothing?"

"Yan doesn't know Yizhou, ambitious, how can he defend against the enemy for us, if Yizhou takes advantage of the weakness to enter, if Jingzhou encounters a military disaster in the future, won't we be the sinners of Jingzhou!"

"If you don't protect Linyuan today, what is the future to talk about!"

“……”

Above the lobby, everyone spoke.

Liu Ba squinted his eyes and carefully looked at the low-key head of the Linyuan Jiang family who was inconspicuous in the past, the head of the Jiang family who received a county master book.

He looked at it for a long time, but it was difficult for him to pay attention in his heart.

However, after making a suggestion, he looked at his nose and nose and heart, as if everything had nothing to do with it.

"Lord Fuzun, come and get a note!" Someone said suddenly, and everyone's voices fell silent all of a sudden, and they stared at Fuzun Liu Ba with a pair of eyes.

Liu Ba was not forcibly resettled by the governor's office.

It was recommended by the Wuling people themselves.

After Liu Ba took office, although he could not improve Wuling's situation, what he did was obvious to all, so they trusted Liu Ba a lot more than anyone else, so at this time, they hoped that Liu Ba could take them out of the predicament.

Liu Ba was also pondering in his heart.

He is not a die-hard loyalist of Jingzhou, whether Wuling will be governed by Yizhou or Jingzhou in the future, he doesn't care very much, he is just a Wuling person, hoping to see Wuling peaceful, enjoy a prosperous world, and live a worry-free life.

Looking at Jingzhou, he was a little worried.

Although he has sent someone to ask for help, but the reinforcements may not come, after all, Wuling is a place that is somewhat sensitive, once Jingzhou sends troops to Wuling, it will inevitably cause the vigilance of Yizhou next door.

The people above, think a little more about the big picture.

Wuling, in their opinion, may not be important.

After all, the terrain here is complicated, the population is thin, the taxes are not much, the labor force is not strong, and even if you want to fight for the young and strong to go to the battlefield, it is also a lot more difficult, like chicken ribs, it is difficult to have a role, and it is a pity to abandon the chicken ribs for the sake of a tasteless meal, causing a war between the princes of the two sides, they are unwilling.

As for Yizhou......

That Minghou's mind is even more uncertain.

"Master Jiang!"

"In!"

"I am willing to go to Jiangzhou and seek a career for my Wuling, or a way to live!" In Liu Ba's heart, there needs to be a decision after all.

"My subordinates are willing to go!"

"This is the book of Wuling Taishou, which can help you!"

Liu Ba wrote the book himself, stamped it with a big seal, and handed it over to Master Jiang.

"Lord Fuzun, by all means!" Someone admonished, "In the future, this is the evidence of sin!" ”

"Asking for help needs to be sincere, if someone is responsible for this in the future, for Wuling, I am willing to bear this crime!" Liu Ba said resolutely.
