After the Yanzhou Stinger Liu Dai killed the founder of the Guandong Allied Army and merged with Qiao Mao's army, the Duke of Guandong's people kept quiet. As the Alliance Master, Yuan Shao actually didn't say a word and admitted Liu Dai's fait accompli.
Liu Dai unrestrainedly appointed his own Wang Gong as the Dongxian Imperial Guard, he did not even try to beat around the bush by appointing his own people as a government official. He set a precedent of appointing his own taiwai to the Eastern Han Dynasty. From then on, the Duke of Guandong no longer held the Imperial Court in their eyes and directly appointed their own officials.
”You're right.” Yuan Shao stroked his beard and nodded again. Although the Qingzhou was important, Yuan Shao, as the Alliance Master, wouldn't dare to nominate his own people to be the Qingzhou Acanthopanax. Most importantly, the Qingzhou was currently in a state of chaos, and a few hundred thousand xanthopanax would not be easy to deal with.
”Humph …” Xu You snorted with a fake smile, and said indifferently: ”master indeed doesn't need to rush to take over Qingzhou, but we can't let the other dukes have it either. master has chosen an insignificant person to be his Qingzhou Acanthopanax, so we can replace him at any time. ”
”Makes sense!” Yuan Shao nodded heavily. He suddenly felt that Xu You was still the best, and although Qingzhou was good, it was a mess. If he wanted to pacify Qingzhou, it would take a long time before he could finally ask Xu You: ”Who said is suitable?”
”Cang Hong, which is also the martial art of the Grand Dominance taiwai Zhang Chao, is most suitable for him.” Xu You nodded, and said seriously: ”First of all, he is not related to the master, so others will not talk about the selfishness of the master. Furthermore, he did not have any background. Without the master's support, he would not be able to stay in the Qingzhou for even a day. Furthermore, the relationship between the master and Chen Liu, taiwai, Zhang Miao, is very good, and the Grand Dominance taiwai, Zhang Chao, is Zhang Miao's younger brother.
”Makes sense.” ”Yuan Shao nodded again, using Cang Hong to pull back Zhang Miao, Zhang Chao and the other brothers, undoubtedly increasing his own strength.” It's him, immediately assign 3,000 troops to him, and have him take over Qingzhou. ”
As a small county magistrate, even Cang Hong himself didn't know if there was smoke rising from his ancestor's grave or not for him to have the chance to go to the capital and assassinate history. He didn't have time to return to his ancestral tomb to take a look, so he brought the three thousand soldiers that Yuan Shao had given him to the Qingzhou in a hurry.
In Xiangyang City, the red light of the Acanthopanax of Jingzhou Palace hung high, as if it was a holiday. One after another, luxurious horse carriages entered. The guards at the entrance of the Schmidt's house were all smiling as they greeted the precious guests. The old masters who were getting down from the carriage greeted each other, and walked into the great hall of Schmidt's house while laughing and chatting.
”Lord Thorn has arrived …”
Following a loud shout, the newly appointed Acanthopanax of Jingzhou Liu Biao walked into the great hall. Ever since Emperor Liu Xie gave the order to appoint Liu Biao, the general of the northern troop, as Acanthopanax of Jingzhou, Liu Biao charged through the defenses of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu alone, and finally entered the Xiangyang. Compared to when he was in the main hall of the Luoyang, Liu Biao's stern face now had more determination.
Liu Biao conversed with the crowd for a while, then sat at the head of the hall, he looked around at the people who were seated down, and picked up his wine: ”Liu Biao respects the Imperial edict, and takes the position of Acanthopanax of Jingzhou. ”Originally, we should guard the Emperor's side, but after Liu Biao arrived at Ren Yue and roughly understood the situation in Jing Prefecture, he realized that the future is bleak …”
The distinguished guests in the hall looked at each other. They had been in high spirits a moment ago, but now, they suddenly fell into absolute silence. After a long while, an older gentleman stood up and shakily said: ”Lord Thorn just came to Jing Prefecture, I wonder what's the problem?”
Liu Biao raised his head and said lightly: ”What I am worried about is you guys … ”You are all Patriarchs of the Jing Prefecture clan, and your powers are very strong. Each of you is independent, you can run amok in your own country, and the imperial government cannot order you to do anything. Even if I wanted to do something, I'm afraid the people sitting here would not agree …”
The old gentleman drew in a breath and looked around the lobby. Behind the tent, there seemed to be the ambush of sabers and soldiers, faintly concealing their killing intent. He immediately cupped his hands towards Liu Biao and said sincerely: ”Lord Thorn can rest assured, we will definitely support you with all our might.”
”Oh …” ”Old masters, are you all willing to wholeheartedly support me?” Liu Biao seemed to be surprised, and happily smiled. He slowly raised the wine cup in his hand and lightly said, ”I would like to borrow your heads. Would you mind?”
”Ah …” At that moment, not only the elderly gentleman, but all the clan heads stood up all of a sudden and drew their swords from their waists. They already understood that this new Lord Thorn wasn't inviting them to drink, it was purely a Hong Gate banquet.
”Pah!”
Liu Biao finally threw out the wine cup, and the blade and axe hands that were hiding behind the tent flap rushed out, followed by the bloody slaughter. Liu Biao turned and left the hall. A precious relative of the Royal Family like him was unwilling to see such a bloody scene.
The new Acanthopanax of Jingzhou Liu Biao had lured and killed fifty-five clan Patriarchs within the borders of Jing Province in one go, recruited and recruited their subordinates, and at the same time released an official letter to pacify the County. Other than the Nanyang, the other counties were much calmer.
