Chapter 267 Nanyang Talents (seeking subscription)

Qi Ji led the army to reach the meeting of Xiangyang and Liu Biao, only to realize that Yuan Shu had already led the army a few days ago to support the Yanzhou provincial governor Jinshang appointed by Chang'an to kill Yanzhou.

It's not that Yuan Shu didn't want to stay in Nanyang, but that he could no longer stay.He did not practice the law in Nanyang, and used copying as his capital. In the past three or four years, Nanyang, who had hundreds of thousands of household registrations, was tortured by him, and he couldn't squeeze any more oil and water.

So he called his idea to Yanzhou.

When Sun Jian served as Yuzhou's governor, Yuan Shao wanted to send troops to take Yuzhou, and put it into practice, sending Zhou Xin to attack, but Yuan Shu repelled, and the two have feuded since then.Therefore, Yuan Shu joined Gongsun Zan and Tao Qian to fight Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao and Cao Cao defeated them.

Yuan Shu is a direct line of the Yuan family of Runan. Yuan Shao, who could not afford to come to see him, always wanted to overwhelm Yuan Shao.This time I came to fight Yanzhou, but also meant to attack Jizhou through Yanzhou.

Because Cao Cao was supported by Yuan Shao.

He, the Yanzhou animal husbandry, would not be able to sit still if Yuan Shao nodded.

At this time, it was Cao Cao's difficult time when Yuan Shu's army came and entered Chenliu's territory. With the Black Mountain thief and the Southern Huns as his followers, Cao Cao could only ask Yuan Shao for help.

"Father, did Yanzhou fight?" Seeing Liu Biao again, Qi Ji only felt that he was more energetic and not showing his senility at all.

Obviously, the canonization of the emperor at the beginning of the year made him very excited.

In life, what he wants is not to be in a high position, hold great power, and seal his wife, he has achieved it.

"Not yet, but it's coming soon." Liu Biao is very satisfied with Qi Ji's performance in the past two years. He is low-key, but his strength has been increasing. Even if it is not compared with Xiangyang, it can definitely affect Xiangyang's decision-making. .

Therefore, his right to speak is much heavier, breaking through the restrictions of the Jingzhou clans, and promoting a group of his own people.

"When the war starts in Yanzhou, we immediately dispatched troops to Nanyang to cut off Yuan's road and force him to give up Jingzhou." Qi Ji said, "This opportunity should not be missed."

"Zijun, are you so sure that Yuan Shu will be defeated?" Liu Biao asked.

"Yuan Shu is definitely strong, but Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are not weak in uniting. These two have experienced a lot of battles in the past two years." Qi Ji said, "That's why we have to send troops and become the last one to crush the camel. straw."

"The back road was copied and the food road was cut off. What else would Yuan Shu use to fight?" Qi Ji sneered.

"Well, this time, my father intends to take you as the head to recover Nanyang." Liu Biao said.

"No, this battle is for the unification of Jingzhou. My father is the lord of Jingzhou, so he should come forward. This can increase his father's prestige." Qi Ji said, "Not only that, the next year he will conquer Jingnan and his father will also come forward and let Jingnan spread his father. The prestige."

"This will enable Jingzhou to settle down quickly, and it will not be too late for the children to lead the troops in the coming day to conquer others."

"Jingnan, are you ready?" Liu Biao asked.

"Yes, there are only three thousand people left. I think they can bear it." Qi Ji said, "In the past two years, apart from Changsha, the other three counties have been in chaos. My father repeatedly scolded Wuling prefect Zhang Xian, and the child also arranged After Huanjie does the internal response, I don’t worry about him not coming."

"Three thousand people, can you stop it?" Liu Biao worried.

"Father, Haier believes that these generals under his command will not let Haier down." Qi Ji said.

For this reason, he kept the most elite three thousand people.

"Well, Jingzhou will be completely cleaned up this time." Liu Biao also made up his mind, "Listen to you, and levy for his father."

"Yuan Shu's army left, Nanyang didn't have much defensive power. My father no longer needs to take Cai Degui and Kuai Zirou to pass, let them guard Xiangyang and bring Mr. Yidu. Cai Ying is still in the kid's army!" Suggested.

Liu Biao knew that Qiji was trying to restrict the two from continuing to perform meritorious services, and nodded in agreement.

A few days later, the news of the Yanzhou war came out. Liu Biao pointed to a 50,000 army and joined the 30,000 Changsha army to survive the Hanshui River and begin to conquer Xiangyang.

Along the way, invincible.

Nanyang was originally a jurisdiction, how could it be against Zhou Mu?

Coupled with Yuan Shu's unpopular deeds in the past few years, few people are willing to continue to follow him except for a few diehard loyalists. The arrival of Liu Biao happened to cater to the popular support.

It was not until Wancheng that he encountered resistance.

What is left here is Yuan Shu's direct line.

But there are not many people, and there are no well-known military generals, Yuan Shu almost gave up here.

Only three days after the army attacked the city, the people in the city organized spontaneously on the fourth day, took advantage of the outbreak of the war, opened a city gate and let the Jingzhou army in.

The start of Wancheng represents Nanyang's official inclusion in Liu Biao's Jingzhou sequence.

Counting from the march, only twenty days.

The news spread to Xiangyang, cheers, and Liu Biao's prestige rose.

But starting with Wancheng does not mean that Nanyang has completely expelled Yuan Shu's forces. There are still several counties north of Nanyang under Yuan Shu's control.

Bowang, Yexian, all the way to Luyang, these counties, it took a lot of time.Especially after taking Luyang, Yuan Shu sent troops to seize and fight for several days. Yuan Shujun left thousands of corpses under the city before retreating.

Soon after, news came that Yuan Shu was defeated in Chenliu and was almost surrounded by Yuan Shao and Cao Cao at Fengqiu, and fled to Xiangyi, while Cao Cao was chasing him.

Yuan Shu has no time to take care of Nanyang. Since then, the battle of Nanyang has settled, and Liu Biao has become the final winner.

At this time, the four years of Chuping is about to pass.

Liu Biao led the army back to Xiangyang, but the odd plan did not leave and stayed behind for the time being.

He will return to Changsha after the news of Jingnan's rebellion comes out.

And now, he has three things to do.

The first thing is to split Nanyang.

Compared with other counties, Nanyang is too big. Before Liu Biao left, Qi Ji suggested that Nanyang should be divided into three counties.Liu Biao has agreed, and handed it over to him. After reporting to Xiangyang, he will arrange for someone to take up the post.

Comprehensive considerations of later geography, the final plan was to retain Nanyang County and govern Wancheng, and to analyze Nanxiang County and Zhangling County, each governing its county.

The second is the Wuguan issue.

Wuguan is the gateway of Guanzhong into Nanyang, belonging to Jing Zhaoyin. Last year, Lu Bu was defeated and fled Guanzhong through Wuguan.

But now, Wuguan is still unmanned, only some guards.If the historical trend remains unchanged, after the Xiliang army riots, Zhang Ji also came to Nanyang through Wuguan, and abruptly created the little prince Zhang Xiu.

Qi Ji wondered whether to occupy Wuguan.

The question is whether occupying Wuguan will anger the Xiliang army.

After all, the civil strife of the Xiliang Army has not yet begun. It would be bad if Wuguan stationed in Wuguan was regarded by the Xiliang Army as a provocation of Jingzhou and joined forces to attack.

Jingzhou's interior is not yet stable, and now fighting with the Xiliang army is not worth the loss.

Besides, as long as you don't care about him, the Xiliang army will have no use for it, and there is no need to offend it now.

After thinking about it for a long time, I finally gave up this idea. In the suggestion to Liu Biao, he urged the Nanxiang County prefect to be able to keep the direction of Wuguan and not let people slip into the hinterland without knowing it.

The last one is Nanyang's talent problem, which is also the most important thing that Qiji thinks.

There are many talents in Nanyang. There is no doubt that Liu Biao was not as powerful as Nanyang before, and there were so many talents that he did not dare to recruit.

Now it's alright, Nanyang is down, Liu Biao is gone, here he is the biggest, and finally he can harvest another wave.

Therefore, he listed the talents in his memory and ordered them to inquire about the situation.
