said that Gu Yong said that Zhang Xian was moved, so Zhang Xian rebelled according to Changsha. Because Zhang Xian has a letter of grace in Lingling and Guiyang. Zhang Xian lured him again. The two counties of Lingling and Guiyang also followed Zhang Xian.

Liu Biao was shocked when he heard of the rebellion in the three counties of Jingnan. Jingzhou led the seven counties, and after he came, he divided Nanyang into two and set up a new Zhangling County. It's just eight counties. Now that the three southern counties have rebelled, Wuling County is not to mention the danger, but it has cut off the back road of Jingzhou soldiers such as Yu Zhangwen and others.

So Liu Biao ordered Cai Mao, Pang Ji and others to send troops to quell the rebellion, and at the same time urgently sent an order to Yuzhang's Wenpin, asking him not to be entangled in Yuzhang and quickly return to Jingzhou from Jiangxia.

Wen Ping got the letter, and hurriedly came to see Liu Xuan, and said: "Duke Liu, my lord has a letter, Sun Jian has said that he is against the three counties of Jingnan, and now I am under the enemy and have to retreat." I also asked Liu Gong and Taishou to prepare early and return to Jingzhou with me. ”

Hua Xin and Wang Lang could only smile bitterly when they heard this, Liu Biao hesitated, but Sun Jian made the first move. Now the offensive and defensive situation is easy. What else can be done other than to withdraw troops?

So I had no choice but to follow Wenpin's words, lead my family, withdraw from Nanchang City with Wenpin, and go to Haiduan to meet Liu Pan. Before Liu Miao left, Fan Neng, Zhang Ying and other generals wept and said: "Our family is all in Jiangdong, and we can't go to Jingzhou with the lord." ”

All the generals are Jiangdong wealthy families, Liu Miao came to Yangzhou back then, and with the help of others, he was able to fight against Yuan Shu. Now that he has been defeated, how can he criticize the soldiers. Liu Miao picked up the generals and sighed: "I mistook Zhu Qingye." Say goodbye today, I don't know when we will see each other again. Please cherish it. ”

Everyone shed tears and said goodbye.

Fan Neng said to Zhang Ying: "Liu Gong, our late master, has been kind to us many times. Now that he is going to Jingzhou, although we can't follow, we can also prevent Sun Jian from reporting Liu Gong's kindness. ”

Zhang Ying thought so, so the second general led his troops to fight Sun Jian. When Sun Jian heard that Wen was hired and left, he knew that the incident in Changsha had happened, and he wanted to chase him. Fang Xing, when he heard that the defenders of Nanchang were out, he turned back to attack. Fan and Zhang Er were defeated to the death, Sun Jian broke it, won Fan Neng and Zhang Ying, felt his kindness, and accepted him as a general. Exploring Wen Ping again, he has already joined forces with Liu Panbing and went to Chaisang.

When he arrived in Chaisang, Liu Miao said to Wen Ping: "I am in Yuzhang, thanks to the power of Zhongye, I can survive so far." I wanted to follow Zhongye to Xiangyang to thank General Liu. Ranwu lost his teacher and lost his land in Yangzhou, and he had no face to see Jingsheng. Now that the children are getting older, they are gathering in Qingzhou. I want to take my children to Qingzhou so that they can study. I also hope that Zhongye will come to Xiangyang and say one or two on my behalf. ”

On the one hand, Liu Miao was not optimistic about Liu Biao, and felt that Jingzhou was not as prosperous as Liu Bei. On the other hand, he also said the truth, his eldest son Liu Ji is in his teens, and it is when he is naughty and active, although he is full of poetry and books, he is always unable to educate his son. It's useless to scold a few words, I want to start fighting, but my wife doesn't stop me, and I can't be so ruthless. It is better to send it to Qingzhou Academy, where there are many famous teachers, and the environment and atmosphere are the most suitable for studying. Besides, my son was disobedient and let the teacher beat him, and he didn't feel distressed if he couldn't see it.

Liu Miao was going to Qingzhou, so he naturally discussed it with Hua Xin and Wang Lang. The two agreed. Hua Xin studied under the door of Taiwei Chen Qiu in his early years, and barely got along with Lu Zhi, Zheng Xuan, and Guan Ning. and made friends with Guan Ning and Bing Yuan. These people are all prominent in Qingzhou, and they can quickly integrate when they go by themselves, and they will not be isolated. Not to mention Wang Lang, he studied under Taiwei Yang Ci, and Yang Ci's son Yang Biao was his junior brother. Yang Biao is Lu Min's father-in-law again. Moreover, Chen Deng, Mi Zhu, Mi Fang and others, who were also Tao Qian's subordinates, are now all ministers under Liu Bei. Wang Lang and Hua Xin combined, the two of them have never dealt with Sun Jian, not to mention, but are enemies of each other, if they vote for Sun Jian, I am afraid that the treatment will not be much better. It's better to follow Liu Miao and defect to Liu Bei together.

Liu Bei now owns Qing and Xu Erzhou, with millions of Dingkou, and it is the time to do something. If you go yourself, you will be courteous. As soon as the three of them discussed it, they came to ask Xu Shao's opinion. Xu Shao thought to himself, you have all discussed it, come and ask me, can I say no?

Wen Ping saw that these people were going to return to the north, and he was quite embarrassed. The lord is a good guest, and if these heavyweights in front of him go to defect, it will inevitably make the lord's reputation spread again. But you can't force it. These people are famous in the world, if they are not polite and spread out, this face will not be needed.

This shows the loyalty of the clerk's character. If Huang Zu came, I was afraid that I would have to invite these people on the boat first. Wen Ping hesitated for a while, responded, and said: "Gong Liu, now that the road is blocked, how can you get there?" ”

Liu Miao said with a smile: "Zhongye doesn't need to worry, but give a big boat, and I can go down the river from Xuzhou to Qingzhou." ”

Wen Ping said: "Dajiang is guarded by Sun Jian, and Liu Gong is afraid that he will not be able to pass." ”

Liu Miao smiled and said: "I have my own way to deal with this trivial matter." ”

Seeing that Liu Miao was full of confidence, Wen Ping had to agree. So he allocated two large ships and 100 soldiers to Liu Xuan. Then the two sides said goodbye in Chaisang.

Liu Pan was on the side, silent, he went out of Yuzhang with Wen Hir, and before leaving, Liu Biao ordered everything to be headed by Wen Ping. It was only after Liu Miao got on the boat that he spoke: "Zhongye, how can people like Liu Miao indulge in it?" ”

Wen Ping smiled bitterly and said: "Liu Xuan, Hua Xin, Wang Lang and others, Lu are all 2,000 stones, and Xu Shao is also a famous person at home. How can I withhold it for myself? These people, even when they arrive in Xiangyang, the lord can only treat them like guests and let them come and go freely. If so, why should we ruin our reputation by forcing it to stay? ”

Liu Pan thought about it, it is true, when he arrives in Xiangyang, what else can he do except be polite to these people? Didn't there be a Pei Qian before, dissatisfied with the lord, and ran from Xiangyang to Changsha to defect to Zhang Xian, didn't he see the lord?

So he didn't say anything more, and when he got off the pheasant, Huang Zu sent him to greet him. and returning to Xiangyang, Liu Biao asked: "Where is Brother Zhengli?" ”

Wen Ping said so. When Liu Biao heard this, he was silent for a long time, and said: "I wanted to say goodbye to the Zhengli Princes for a long time, but who expected that he would already go north." ”

Liu Miao let the boat go all the way south, and at this time, he showed his deep network skills. He and Lujiang Taishou Zhou Yu from his father Zhou Shang is an old acquaintance, now Zhou Shang is also in Shu County, Liu Miao went ashore to visit Zhou Shang, Zhou Shang left unsuccessfully, personally sent him across the river. Danyang is too guarded by Handang, and builds a pass at Niuzhukou, and sees that there are two ships whose flags are unknown, and they come along the water. Then he led the crowd to stop him. Zhou Shang came out and said, "Yigong, this guest of my family, wants to return to Xuzhou in the south, and I hope that Yigong will let him go." ”

Han Dang saw that it was Zhou Shang, so he allowed him to pass. After the boat passed, Liu Miao came out to thank Zhou Shang. Han Dang's junior colonel was sharp-eyed, and when he saw it, he said: "General, this is not the Zhou family's guest qing, and Liu Xuan, the assassin of Yangzhou, was also before." ”

Han Dang was shocked and said, "Zhou Shangan dared to deceive me, so he led the ship to chase me." ”

When Xu Shao saw it, he stumbled and said, "It's bitter, the black guy is chasing after me." ”

Liu Miao came out of the cabin and looked at it, and saw Han Dang chasing him by boat, so he ordered the soldiers: "The boat goes to the left bank." ”

The boat traveled on the left bank, close to Liyang Water Village, and when he saw the warship, Liu Miao shouted: "I am a friend of Zhu Junli, there is a boat behind me chasing me for no reason, please report to Zhu Junli quickly and intercept it for me!" ”

It just so happened that Jiujiang Taishou Zhu Zhi was inspecting Jiangfang that day, and when he heard the sound, he saw that it was Liu Xuan, and laughed: "Brother Zhengli, where do you want to go!" ”

Liu Miao stood at the bow of the ship and said, "Junli, do you want to stop me?" ”

When Zhu Zhi saw Liu Xuan's boat, there was a faint boat chasing him, and he immediately knew it, so he smiled and said: "Brother has done it, I will bear it for you." ”

Zhu Zhi, a native of Danyang, followed Sun Jian to fight in the Quartet in his early years. When Liu Jian was in Yangzhou, he took care of Zhu Zhi's family, so Zhu Zhi confessed. When Zhou Shang saw it, he said, "Brother Zhengli, you and I will say goodbye." So the two said goodbye, and Zhou Shang got on Zhu Zhi's ship and went to Yinghan with Zhu Zhi.

Liu Miao had a smooth journey, crossed the Jiujiang River, and went ashore in Guangling County. Chen Deng, who had been waiting here early after getting the letter, greeted him and went straight to Guangling.

Liu Jian left, and Han Dang reported Sun Jian, saying so. When Sun Jian heard this, he was stunned and smiled, and said: "Liu Xuan's trip shows his true colors, and he is worthy of the title of a celebrity." ”
