Chapter 497
Jingzhou.
Liu Biao sat on the couch in the governor's mansion.
"Mr. Governor!" Kuai Yue spoke first.
"The world is in chaos and Yangzhou is empty. It is the best time for us to move eastward."
"Take advantage of this opportunity to occupy the two states."
"Advance and take another step."
"Retreat and watch the war among the princes of the world."
"It is indeed the best choice."
Kuai Liang and Cai Mao also stepped forward to persuade him.
However, Liu Biao was unmoved.
After taking a sip of hot tea and listening to his confidants, Liu Biao calmly said, "Just hold on to Jingzhou."
"Although Yangzhou is empty, it is vast and sparsely populated."
"Sending soldiers to capture it is a strategy of dividing troops."
"It is easy to be divided and defeated by other invading princes."
"Not to mention that we have to face Shanyue."
"It is really a bad strategy."
"The best strategy is to develop Jingzhou and strengthen the military equipment."
"Don't say too much."
"According to my orders."
"As for what the world will become..."
Liu Biao drew a long tone, his brows did not relax at all, "Do whatever you want."
He continued to drink tea without any ambition.
Already past that age, Liu Biao wanted stability the most.
Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue and Cai Mao looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
However, they were unable to change Liu Biao's mind.
The entire Jingzhou remained the same.
Liu Biao only sent officials from Xiangyang to conquer Changsha, which was originally controlled by Sun Jian.
In addition, officials were sent to various parts of Jingzhou to unite Jingzhou and form a unified faction with him as the head.
Concentrate on developing military equipment.
Liu Biao had long seen from Dong Zhuo's various actions that there would be no more struggles in the court in the future.
The so-called right to speak depends on the sword in hand.
Whoever has a sharp sword speaks loudly.
Liu Biao is extremely concerned about military equipment.
…
Jiaozhou separatism.
As the largest clan in Jiaozhou, the Shi family was extremely happy after no longer under the jurisdiction of the court.
The Shi family replaced all the officials originally appointed by the court.
Those who were restless were directly beheaded.
The entire Jiaozhou changed its surname in an instant and became the private land of the Shi family.
…
In Yizhou, Liu Yan once again lamented that he was right when he made the decision in the past.
Far away from Youzhou, far away from the court.
After he came to Bashu, he lived a pretty good life after dealing with the local clans.
The barbarians in the south did not pose any great threat to him.
In the north, he secretly supported the Five Pecks of Rice Sect, and after assassinating Hanzhong prefect Su Gu and other Sima Zhang Xiu, he completely cut off contact with the court.
Bashu is very comfortable.
Liu Yan became more and more addicted to enjoyment.
He didn't care about various things.
He sang and drank every day, but his health was not as good as before.
...
Jicheng, Youzhou.
In the lobby of the governor's mansion, Liu Yu slapped the table hard.
"Yuan family's traitor! He is disturbing the Han Dynasty!"
"This is not the anti-Dong Zhuo coalition army, but the traitor who destroyed the last lifeline of the court!"
"A bunch of damned princes, they only care about their own interests!"
"But they don't care about justice, which is really infuriating to both humans and gods!!"
The angry roar echoed in the hall, and Liu Yu's emotions gradually became chaotic.
The maids stood aside and looked down at the ground, not daring to make any noise.
For fear of being blamed by the furious governor.
"Governor, there is a letter from Jizhou." Qi Zhou, an official from outside, came in and handed over the letter.
Liu Yu suppressed the emotions in his heart and took it to open it to read.
The emotions that were barely suppressed soared again with reading.
Without waiting to finish reading it all, Liu Yu threw the letter with force.
He stood up and roared in the hall: "Damn the bastard of the Yuan family, not only did he disrupt the dynasty, he also wanted to establish another court."
"How could I associate with a traitor!"
Qi Zhou picked up the letter and read it quickly, his face changed drastically.
Yuan Shao wanted to establish Liu Yu as emperor and establish another court!
Hiss!
Qi Zhou took a breath of cold air.
The Yuan family is more than bold.
They are simply so bold!
They can even think of such a treasonous thing.
Are they still human?
Not to mention the so-called Han ministers.
Sure enough, in the hearts of those noble families, there is no court at all.
All their thoughts are on power.
Yuan Shao's letter made Qi Zhou feel the filth and ugliness of the noble families again.
Maybe... Tang Hai was right?
An idea formed in Qi Zhou's heart.
Being so close to Tang Hai, he heard more news than other places.
The people of Youzhou had a completely different view of Tang Hai.
Qi Zhou frowned and thought deeply.
After a fit of anger, Liu Yu's mood gradually stabilized.
Things still had to be faced.
Sitting back on the couch, he thought carefully.
Luoyang ChaoThe court had been completely destroyed by Dong Zhuo.
The whole world was in chaos, and each was ruling its own country.
He had also heard about the princes fighting each other.
A deep sense of uneasiness emerged from Liu Yu's heart.
I'm afraid that no one will be able to stop the wars between the princes in various places in the future.
Youzhou will not be able to escape such a fate.
He knew very well what the consequences would be if he rejected Yuan Shao's proposal.
Yuan Shao, who owned the land of Jizhou, would definitely not be content.
It was only a matter of time before he raised an army to attack.
Wait!
Liu Yu suddenly thought of a possibility.
This letter might be a trigger.
Yuan Shao couldn't have been unaware that he was loyal to the court and the Han Dynasty.
But he still wrote this letter.
It must be to let him reply and scold him, and then just have a reason to attack.
Cold sweat flowed down Liu Yu's forehead, but it was not as cold as the chill in his heart.
These children of noble families are not good in other aspects, but they are good at conspiracy and various internal struggles.
"Alas!"
Liu Yu sighed and looked extremely ugly.
After thinking for a while, he looked firm.
"Write a reply to the governor of Jizhou!"
Qi Zhou hurriedly grinded ink.
Liu Yu picked up the pen, and the first sentence he wrote made Qi Zhou's eyes widen.
That mother's
Maid raising bastard
Liu Yu wielded his pen and wrote a letter of scolding.
He cursed out all the real thoughts in his heart.
Without any scruples.
As the last stroke was completed, Liu Yu threw away the flying brush, stood up and said seriously:
"Dry it, seal it and send it to the bastard of the Yuan family."
"In addition, reorganize the military equipment of Youzhou."
"Be ready to meet the enemy at any time!"
...
Yecheng, Jizhou.
In the hall of the official temple, civil and military officials stood on both sides.
Yuan Shao, sitting in the main seat, read the letter with a gloomy face.
Just reading the first sentence almost made him mad on the spot.
Damn Liu Yu, don't accept the toast and drink the penalty wine.
Yuan Shao cursed in his heart.
The various insults in the letter attacked from all angles.
Even though he has been tempered by all kinds of hardships now, he still can't ignore it.
"Humph!"
The letter was thrown hard on the table, and Yuan Shao angrily ordered: "Liu Yu of Youzhou watched the traitor Dong cholera in the court."
"Not only did he not contribute, but he also wanted to secede from one side."
"He is really a traitor!"
"Now I want to pacify the world and use it to restore the glory of the Han Dynasty."
"I will definitely punish such a traitor first!"
"All generals listen to my order!"
Yuan Shao called out solemnly.
A group of counselors and generals answered loudly, "Here!"
Yuan Shao waved his hand, "Raise the army and head straight to Youzhou!"
