Jingzhou, Changsha, Prefect's Mansion.

"King of Danyang?"

The banquet hall, the prefect of Changsha, who was eight feet tall and had a tiger-back and bear-waisted waist, put down the silk book in his hand and sighed.

"The title of king in a different surname is a sign of the decline of the Han Dynasty!"

After the court failed to fight against Tao, Tao Ying took the opportunity to use troops everywhere. Now he has landed in the three states and has a population of more than 12 million. He has already refused to obey the orders of the Han Dynasty. Now he is promoted to the king by Dong Zhuo and Yuan Wei. Sun Jian feels uneasy.

"If Zhang Boshen had been willing to listen to me and kill Dong Zhuo in the past, how could the court have been harmed today!"

Sun Jian's slightly complicated eyes flashed through Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Zu Mao, Wu Jing, Zhu Zhi, Sun Ben and others who sat down without saying a word, and they felt a little excited.

"It seems that you still have to have your own territory!"

Because he was born in a poor family, he had no reason in the court and was not a prominent family in the county. Although Sun Jian, who was thirty-five years old, made great contributions to the Han Dynasty's war, he is still only a prefect and has only won a "consolation prize" of Wucheng Hou who is better than nothing.

On the other hand, Tao Ying, a second-generation official, was awarded the title this year, but in just one year, he became the first king of different surnames since the Han Dynasty and the most powerful prince in the world.

In Sun Jian's view, Tao Ying could be named king because of his strong soldiers and a large territory, and the court had to compromise.

"Lord, the imperial court can grant Tao Ying the King of Danyang today and be dismissed tomorrow. Don't forget that his Jinan Marquis was dismissed not long ago."

Seeing Sun Jian’s eyes flashing, his mind wandering, and his fists are sometimes loose and tight, Cheng Pu knew that Sun Jian had fantasies in his heart and immediately spoke up to remind him.

"There is a Grand Marshal Liu Yu in Youzhou, and the Wuhuan, Xianbei and Xiongnu entrenched. Although Tao Ying is strong and powerful, once he falls into it, he may be difficult to escape for a while."

Cheng Pu, who is quite beautiful, followed Sun Jian to fight against the Yellow Turban in his early years. Not only was he skilled in bows and horses, but he was also very skilled in strategy and strategy, and was deeply trusted by Sun Jian.

"De Ming is a good prediction. Whether it is foreign races or Tao Ying, they are all harmed by the Han Dynasty. I hope both sides will suffer losses!"

Knowing that Cheng Pu saw through his thoughts, Sun Jian immediately withdrew his thoughts and turned the topic to Wang Rui, the governor of Jingzhou.

"Demou, Wang Tongyao moved his capital from Wuling to Nanjun. According to your opinion, what is the intention?"

Cheng Pu frowned, then stretched again, and a trace of light was emitted from his eyebrows.

"Wuling Prefect Cao Yin and the Governor Wang Rui have become incompatible with each other. This is the chance for the lord to seek Jingzhou!"

Youzhou.Yuyang.Quanzhou.

The depressed Quanzhou ruler Liu Bei, wearing a brand new red robe, stood at the city wall, looking at the direction of the Bohai Sea covered with snow, and said nothing for a long time.

After receiving reports that Liu Yu was named Grand Sima and Tao Ying was appointed as King of Danyang, Liu Bei's mood was as fluctuating as a roller coaster, both excited and desperate.

"Dong Zhuo, Yuan Wei, Yang Biao, etc. are the sinners of the Han Dynasty!"

At this moment, Liu Bei hated Dong Zhuo and the other two, far more than Tao Ying.

Liu Bei had a feeling that he was used to suppress Liu Yu. When he dealt with Tao Ying, a foreign race, if he took the initiative and led his troops north to Youzhou, he would definitely be the first person to deal with.

"No, I can't stay in Quanzhou and wait for death!"

Liu Bei's dispersed and unsightly eyes focused again, and a touch of coldness and decisiveness flashed across the harmless faces of humans and animals.

Liu Bei was still a little confident when dealing with Zhao Yun, but when dealing with Tao Ying, Liu Bei didn't even have the intention of taking chances.

"Xuande!"

Liu Bei was thinking about his next path, and Jian Yong came to his side gently.

"Have Guan Jing settled?"

Liu Bei turned around and looked at Jian Yong, with a warm face, as if bathing in spring breeze.

"Guan Jing has a flattery but has no major plans. I don't know why Gongsun Zan used this person as the chief secretary!"

Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei are both disciples of Lu Zhi. In Jian Yong's perception, although Gongsun Zan is a reckless man, he is not so stupid in hiring people.

Jian Yong glanced in the direction where Liu Bei was watching before, and reminded Liu Bei.

"Gongsun Zan led the prefect of Youbeiping, but has not been the governor of Zunzhou. Now he has sent troops to Yuyang for no reason, occupying the three counties of Qixi, Jianping and Pinggu, and is in a great way to seize Yuyang. Xuande cannot be bewitched!"

Liu Bei nodded gently, giving Jian Yong a look of peace of mind.

If Guan Jing had come ten days earlier, Liu Bei would have agreed to Gongsun Zan as the prefect of Yuyang.

"As a relative of the Han Dynasty, not to mention a fake Yuyang prefect, even if you prepare a Youzhou governor, Bei will never be with the rebels and rebel against the clan and the ancestors!"

Liu Bei's determination and righteousness made Jian Yong breathe a sigh of relief.

"With the ambition of Xuande, the pastoral of a state is sooner or later!"

Looking at his childhood friend Jian Yong, Liu Bei's face was gradually shrouded in his sorrow of worrying about the country and the people, and a tragic look emanating from his eyes.

"Xianhe Zhibei, the aspirations are not based on the salary of high officials, but in the Han Dynasty, and the people are at ease!"

Looking at Liu Bei who was crying, Jian Yong seemed to be infected, and he was stumbling for a moment.

"Brother!"

Just when the atmosphere was a little awkward, Zhang Fei broke the deadlock for the two of them with a shout.

"Second brother, third brother!"

Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu who was walking quickly, Zhang Fei responded and took two steps forward, staggering Jian Yong's gaze, and the sad clouds on his face were swept away.

"Brother, Zhao Yun's son is here to issue a letter of war again!"

Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, who looked gloomy and helpless, rushed over and handed a letter of war to Liu Bei.

If it were in the past, both Guan Yu and Zhang Fei would go out of the city to fight very actively.

But since he fought with Zhao Yun on the Bohai Sea, he was not only defeated, but was defeated by Zhao Yun. Zhang Fei was injured. Later, he went out of the city several times to fight and returned home. In addition, Zhao Yun had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were all out of the desire to fight.

“It’s a pity that such a beautiful paper!”

Liu Bei took over the war letter and did not look at the contents above, but looked at the white and delicate bamboo paper over and over again.

Liu Bei also wanted to buy some bamboo paper for its own use, but unfortunately it was not sold on the market, so it was hard to get a lot of money.

"Xianhe, what do you think about the stay and going to Quanzhou City?"

Liu Bei handed the letter of Zhan to Jian Yong, staring at him without expression, but was calculating in his heart.

"Xuande, Yuyang's food and grass are unsustainable, and the counties in Youzhou are also short of food, and the Grand Sima is powerless. Moreover, in Hejian, Bohai and Tao Ying were trapped, and the grain from Jizhou could not flow into Quanzhou. It would be harmful and useless to defend this city!"

Jian Yong took the Zhan Shu calmly, glanced at him, but did not look closely. His dark eyes stared at Liu Bei without blinking for a moment, and he thought for a moment, and slowly expressed his opinion.

"Oh, I'm just giving up Quanzhou like this, I'm sorry to the Grand Sima and the people of Quanzhou!"

Seeing that Jian Yong understood his thoughts, Liu Bei secretly praised Jian Yong and immediately asked Jian Yong to give him a step to give up Quanzhou City.

"Xuande, Gongsun Zan is strong in his army and is accustomed to fighting, and is eyeing Yuyang, it is better to hand Quanzhou over to him..."

Looking at Liu Bei with a shameful look, Jian Yong did not directly comfort him, but instead made a tentative suggestion to him.

"Huh!"

"Hiss!"

"What a trick to drive away the wolf and swallow the tiger!"

Jian Yong's proposal, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei understood it, and Liu Bei naturally knew his intention.

Whether it is Zhao Yun or Gongsun Zan, a tiger and a leopard, or a jackal, Jian Yong wants to use Quanzhou City as bait to make both sides suffer losses.

"Xianhe's plan is very good!"

After a brief weighing, Liu Bei agreed to Jian Yong's plan and made a quick decision to issue an order.

"Xianhe, go see Guan Jing immediately and let Gongsun Zan take over Quanzhou in three days."

"Second brother, please reply to Zhao Yun's son, and send a hundred stones of grain to the city in three days. I will hand over Quanzhou to him."

"Third brother, select two thousand people from the people in the city, put on our military clothes, and carry food north with me in three days!"

The expressionless Liu Bei looked at the white snow outside the city, and his sharp gaze seemed to be able to cut a person inch by inch, making Jian Yong, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei a little creepy.

"Uh..."

Yanzhou, Mount Tai, Fenggao.

In Tao Ying's study, in addition to Tao Ying who hurriedly returned from Mou County, there were also Deng Zhan and Xia Yun, the Central Constable who came to Luoyang to preach the imperial edict.

"Lord, Dong Zhuo is ill-intentioned, don't be fooled!"

Seeing that Tao Ying seemed to fall into the trap set by Dong Zhuo, Xia Yun hurriedly reminded him again.

For Xia Yun, Tao Ying was his life-saving benefactor. If it weren't for the secretly sending people to remind him that he had long died under the butcher knife of Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and Dong Zhuo.

"I know!"

Tao Ying waved his hand to Xia Yun with a smile, asking him to be calm.

"In this way, you will go back to Luoyang tomorrow and tell Dong Zhuo that he will send someone to send the Lantai collection to the university in Lu County for professors and students to read. Otherwise, I will not respond to the imperial edict."

Lantai not only contains a large number of royal classics, but also contains various royal archives.
