    Liu Bian stayed in Xiangyang for two days and made arrangements for Jingzhou.  The so-called arrangement was actually not a big move. Liu Biao was still responsible for most of the things. He just took over the military power from him and everything else was taken care of.  Although Liu Biao was a little regretful, he didn't say much. Liu Bian promoted him, moved him to be the shepherd of Jingzhou, and made him a marquis, which was regarded as a formal recognition of his stabilization of Jingzhou.  After Liu Bian took over the military power, he divided the military power into two.  The infantry was handed over to Kuai Yue and Wen Pin, the commander-in-chief, Wen Pin, who guarded Nanyang, and Kuai Yue accompanied him on the expedition; the navy was handed over to Cai Mao, stationed in Jiangxia, to coordinate with Yangzhou Mu Lu Kang, and to build large ships in Yuzhang to prepare for the eastward march.  Prepare.  Generally speaking, only Liu Biao really lost military power, and the powerful Jingzhou family was not affected at all. Therefore, people's hearts were stable and the handover was very smooth, with almost no resistance.  Liu Biao himself did not like fighting, and the bloody and cruel battlefield was not to his taste.  In the past, he might have had some romantic thoughts about commanding thousands of troops and conquering the world. After more than two years of war, he also knew that romance was fake, but the danger was real.  Liu Bian took away his military power, and he was free and happy.  Jingzhou has a prosperous literary style. He talks about literature and art with the great scholar Song Zhong and others every day, and edits classics. It is also a good choice for him, so he happily accepted it.  After the arrangements were made, Liu Bian rushed to Jiangling.  Accompanied by the imperial guard camp, Liu Bian rushed out of Xiangyang City. When he was galloping out of the city gate, someone suddenly shouted on the city wall: "  Your Majesty" Before he finished speaking, there was a "crash" sound.  The soldiers of the Imperial Guard Battalion drew out their sabers, raised their hand crossbows, and aimed at the wall.  Wang Yue drew his sword to protect him. Shi'a tiptoed on the horse and leaped up. Like a white crane, he landed gently on the top of the city. His sword was unsheathed and pointed directly at the throat of the speaker.  The rabbit rises and the falcon falls, all of this happened in an instant.  The speaker's mouth has not yet closed.  Shi'a's sword was already in front of him, and he was so frightened that he let out a "Gulu" and swallowed back all the words he said.  "Who are you?" Shi A looked around and found no danger.  A flick of the wrist.  There was a "choking" sound.  Return the sword to its sheath.  He neither touched the sword's mouth nor looked at the scabbard, but the sword was accurately sheathed.  This move was even more surprising than when he jumped up to the top of the city just now.  The soldiers all around stared straight-eyed, opened their mouths, and exclaimed in unison.  "II am Wei Yan. I heardHis Majesty is looking for me" "Are you Wei Yan?" Shi A followed Liu Bian and knew that Liu Bian had mentioned Wei Yan, but he had not seen him these days, and he couldn't help but  Glanced twice.  Wei Yan is about seven feet eight inches tall and has a strong body. He is considered a big man among Jingzhou people who are generally short in stature.  He is not very old, but his eyes are very sharp, and he seems to be a bit generous.  "Exactly." Wei Yan touched his head sheepishly.  "I just heard that His Majesty is looking for me, but I can't enter His Majesty's camp, so" "You come with me." Shi A smiled, turned around and walked down the city wall.  Wei Yan was overjoyed and followed closely until he reached the city gate and walked in front of Liu Bian.  Shi A explained the situation and Liu Bian nodded. He had an excellent ear and had heard the conversation between the two just now, so he couldn't help but be a little curious.  He looked at Wei Yan and found that Wei Yan was younger than he thought. He looked like he was in his early twenties. His face was green and a bit arrogant, and his eyes were not very honest.  The armor on his body is clean, but his official rank is not high, he is just a team leader, and he can manage up to fifty people.  He was still a junior officer guarding the city gate. No wonder neither Liu Biao nor Kuai Yue had heard of his name.  "Are you Wei Yan?" "Your Majesty, I am Wei Yan, with the courtesy name Wen Chang and a surname from Nanjun. I am twenty-three years old and have been in the army for three years" Wei Yan looked at Liu Bian curiously and quickly lowered his head.  Although he had never been a high official, he knew not to be too presumptuous in front of the emperor.  After listening to Wei Yan¡¯s self-report of family status, Liu Bian knew that he was probably right.  "How are your martial arts skills?" Wei Yan raised his fists carelessly: "I'm brave, I dare you to give me a try." Liu Bian gestured to Liu Bei: "Xuande, take him to the side and give it a try. If he can survive three rounds of you,  Just take him with you. Otherwise, let him guard the city gate." Liu Bei nodded with a smile and walked out of the city gate with Wei Yan.  Wei Yan was a little dissatisfied and muttered something as he walked.  He thought his voice was so low that Liu Bian couldn't hear it. In fact, Liu Bian heard it clearly and didn't care.  He believed that Wei Yan would be convinced soon.  In the original historical process, Liu Bei may not have been Wei Yan's opponent, but it is different now.  Liu Bei realized his destiny and practiced the Daoyin Diagram for a long time. His martial arts skills were more than one level higher than before. However, Wei Yan had not yet realized his destiny. The two of themNot on the same level at all.  He said that in the three rounds, he was trying to save face for Wei Yan. According to his estimation, Liu Bei could beat Wei Yan's nose and eyes with a single strike.  As Liu Bian expected, Liu Bei and Wei Yan caught up after a while.  Liu Bei had a cheerful look on his face, but Wei Yan lowered his head, losing the arrogance he had just now.  Liu Bian asked as he drove his horse forward: "How is it?" "Your Majesty, although his realm is limited, his courage is commendable and he is a talent that can be made." "Really?" Liu Bian glanced at Wei Yan: "  Then let him follow you." "Wei." Liu Bei poked Wei Yan: "Chang Wen, why don't you thank me?" Wei Yan was stunned and bowed quickly.  This time, he bent perfectly.  ¡­ ¡­ Runan County, Pingyu City, Yuan¡¯s old residence.  Yuan Shu flew into a rage, punched and kicked, and threw the cases everywhere in the hall.  "How unreasonable, this bastard actually dares to order me?!" Yuan Shu's eyes widened, he took the letter from Qiao Rui's hand, threw it on the ground, stomped a few times, pulled out his sword, and hacked at it without thinking.  He just received a letter from Yuan Shao.  Yuan Shao said that Liu Bian had returned and was about to lead his troops on an expedition. The Yuan family was facing a crisis. If they wanted to survive this crisis, they must join forces and face the enemy together to avoid being defeated individually.  Yuan Shu did not object to this. He also thought so when he received Liu Bian's edict sent to the whole country. However, it was different from what Yuan Shao thought. He wanted Yuan Shao to move closer to him and listen to his command, not to listen to Yuan Shao.  command.  In Yuan Shu¡¯s view, Yuan Shao¡¯s dream of claiming to be the leader of the Confucian sect has been shattered, and now only the reputation of the Yuan family is left to support him.  In terms of status in the Yuan family, he, the legitimate son, is the real head of the family. How can Yuan Shao, the common son, have the right to order him?  He was very angry because of this and flew into a rage.  Qiao Rui and others are helpless. They have reached this point. The Yuan brothers are still fighting for this status. They are really ignorant of current affairs.  The chief secretary, Yan Xiang, took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "General, can I say a few words?" "You say it!" Yuan Shu shouted angrily, brandishing a sword in his hand with a menacing attitude, and he would chop Yan Xiang if he disagreed with him.  meaning.  "The general thought to himself, without Yuan Benzhu, can you deal with the imperial army alone?" Yuan Shu's eyes twitched and he said nothing.  He still has this self-awareness. If he can handle it alone, why would he talk to Yuan Shao.  "There are three battlefields that the imperial court has to deal with now: Liu Yan's Yizhou, General's Yuzhou, and Yuan Benchu's Jizhou. Who does the general think will be the emperor's first target?" Yuan Shu was silent for a moment, and then he said no.  He said reluctantly: "It should be Yizhou. The Liu Bian brothers were stationed in Guanzhong before. Capturing Yizhou was their established plan and they were fully prepared." "Then what will happen to the court after Yizhou is captured?  Should we attack Yuzhou first or Jizhou first?" Yuan Shu remained silent.  He understood what Yan Xiang meant.  After the Yizhou war ends, he will become Liu Bian's first choice. In other words, he will be under greater pressure than Yuan Shao.  If he does not join forces with Yuan Shao, he will die in front of Yuan Shao.  "Then what should we do? Do you want me to listen to that bastard?" "Which is the lesser of two evils? The most urgent task is to defend Yuzhou." Yan Xiang said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "Two general brothers, if one of them is harmed,  The rest can't stand on their own. At this moment, if we can't work together, the Yuan family's more than 100 years of foundation may come to an end. Who is the head of the family, and what's the point?" Yuan Shu threw the knife and sat down on the couch.  , holding his head, sighed: "I didn't expect that I, Yuan Jiujiu, would end up like this in my powerful life."  Guo Jia walked into the lobby and met with Tao Qian and Chen Deng.  Tao Qian and Chen Deng looked cold and only bowed slightly to return the gift.  Compared with the previous visit by Cao Cao's envoy, their etiquette today was really not considerate.  However, Guo Jia didn't care. He knew very well that the situation was different now. Cao Cao was in an embarrassing situation. In the future, he would have to rely on Tao Qian and others to speak kindly in front of the emperor. He had to bow his head under the low eaves.  Tao Qian stroked his beard and spoke slowly.  "Why do you come from far away to offer sacrifices to wine?" Guo Jia smiled slightly: "Of course it is a matter of joint operations. The emperor is about to conquer the world. If the Yuan brothers join forces, I am afraid that the day of peace will be delayed for a few days. They  Naturally, I am not the emperor's opponent, but if the trapped beasts still fight and want to go to the sea or cross the river, I am afraid that Xuzhou and Yangzhou will inevitably be in trouble. Although General Cao has dragons, his troops are limited, so he has to send me here, hoping to join forces with the envoy to ensure peace.  ." Tao Qian raised his eyebrows and glanced at Chen Deng without saying anything.  Chen Deng was also speechless.  They originally wanted to borrow the emperor's moneyThey tried to coerce Cao Cao and take the initiative on the Jianghuai battlefield, but after listening to Guo Jia's words, they knew that the situation was not that simple.  If Cao Cao is forced into a hurry, their losses will also be staggering.  Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao were no match for the Emperor, but it was easy to deal with them.  They have persisted for so long and finally see the dawn of victory. They cannot be destroyed by Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu at this time.  Leveraging Cao Cao's strength and putting Cao Cao at the front is the most cost-effective strategy.  In any case, Cao Cao had the stain of being a rebel. No matter how great his achievements were, he would not have as good a future as those of them who had always supported the imperial court.  The two weighed it up and quickly made a decision.  Chen Deng stood up and greeted him with a smile: "Haha, you are finally here. Your Majesty is waiting for news about General Cao, but he is very anxious." (To be continued)?¡­
