The New Year¡¯s Eve is coming soon, Xiangyang City is very lively, and there is an endless stream of people in the streets and alleys every day.
Compared with other places, there has been no war here for many years. Although Liu Bei led an army stationed outside the city some time ago, the two sides did not fight.
During Liu Biao's rule in Xiangyang, the literary style here flourished, and Liu Cong's policies made business prosperous. There were merchants from the north and south almost every day, and shops of all sizes often opened early in the morning and closed very late.
Of course, there are two major happy events in Xiangyang City, which are spreading rapidly around like flames.
The first is that Wanlixiang Restaurant has opened a branch here. Of course it is full every day, and the customers inside are definitely people with status and status. Ordinary people cannot afford to drink this kind of wine!
The second thing is that Jingzhou Shepherd Liu Cong is going to hold a wedding on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month.
The wedding of Jingzhou Mu is the biggest event in Jingzhou, and the wife he wants to marry is Cai Yu, the daughter of the Cai family.
The Cai family, which was almost on the verge of decline, suddenly cheered up and regained its former glory.
Cai Xi, the head of the Cai family, led the whole family to prepare a dowry for Cai Yu. It included everything imaginable, including gold and silver, jade, land, silk and satin, grain, and even the family's collection of books.
Cai Xi knew very well that the Cai family's vitality had been greatly damaged after Cai Mao's death, and the young son Cai Zhong and Cai He were subsequently killed, and the Cai family completely lost power. Now God has shown mercy and Mr. Zhou Mu has not regretted his marriage. This is the only opportunity for the Cai family to rise and must be seized.
The Cai family has been prosperous for hundreds of years, so it naturally has its secrets, and as the head of the family, Cai Xi also has a keen eye. He often secretly scolded Cai Mao for being short-sighted, but a hero in troubled times like Liu Cong didn't notice it. Originally, the Cai family had always supported Liu Cong. What a great opportunity this was! But at the critical moment, he made a very wrong choice, which almost brought the Cai family into doom.
Fortunately, now that he has the opportunity, he will invest at all costs, because he understands that Liu Cong is the real future of the Cai family.
Liu Cong is getting married. The Cai family is busy, and the state pastoral office is definitely busy. However, with the support of his mother, Ma Liang and others, Liu Cong doesn't have to worry at all, but he is not idle either, and is waiting for an important person.
Li Hu sent a letter from Shangyong recommending his cousin to become a general in the Han army.
Liu Cong didn¡¯t pay much attention at first and planned to give him the post of Army Sima. Li Hu made great achievements in Shangyong, but his ability in commanding troops was indeed limited. He was somewhat incompetent as a captain in a county. However, he also had his own characteristics, being serious and loyal.
Liu Cong felt that Li Hu¡¯s cousin should be almost the same as Li Hu.
But what surprised Liu Cong later was that he turned out to be Li Yan!
God, how is this possible?
Liu Cong didn't believe it and immediately asked Skynet to investigate. It turned out that this Li Yan was the famous general Li Yan in Yizhou in history. He was the most capable of commanding troops under Liu Zhang. Even Zhang Ren was not in a hurry. he.
When Liu Bei was entrusting an orphan in Baidi City, he handed over all the military power of the Shu Han to Li Yan! It's just that his military ability is very high, but his political ability is too low, and in the end his military power was reduced by Zhuge Liang.
It turns out that Li Yan was just the magistrate of Zigui County when Cao Cao went south to Jingzhou. After Cao Cao came, he resigned and went home.
When Jingzhou surrendered, Li Yan did not want to serve as an official under Cao Cao, nor did he want to go to Jiangdong, so he prepared to go south to Yizhou.
After the Battle of Chibi, Liu Cong unexpectedly captured Nanjun and Xiangyang at once, which made Li Yan hesitate again and decided to stay in Jingzhou for a while.
At this time, Li Hu wrote him a letter and asked him to come to Shangyong.
"Now there are only two people in Shangyong, Ma Tao and Li Hu. They can manage a county, but they really feel that they are not capable of governing a county. Li Hu knew that his cousin Li Yan was much stronger than him, so he wanted Li Yan to come to Shangyong to help him. But he also knew that Li Yan was arrogant and would not agree easily, so he asked Li Yan to come to Shangyong to take a look at the situation here before making a decision.
After Li Yan arrived, he was shocked by the changes in Shangyong. When he learned that Liu Cong had done all this, he was even more unbelievable.
In just a few months, he went from having nothing to finally owning half of Jingzhou and a Shangyong. This convinced Li Yan that Liu Cong was the hero in troubled times that he was looking for, so he decided to defect to Liu Cong.
¡°Zhengfang, I¡¯m looking forward to the stars and the moon, and I¡¯ve finally found you!¡± Liu Cong said happily when Li Yan appeared at the door of the Prefectural Mufu Mansion.
Li Yan was very moved when he saw Liu Cong greeting him at the gate and hurriedly knelt downOn the ground.
"Li Yan pays homage to the lord!"
"Zhengfang, please get up quickly!" Liu Cong helped Li Yan up with both hands, and then walked into the Prefectural Mufu Mansion one after another, until they came to Liu Cong's study.
After the guests and hosts were seated, the maid served tea.
"Zhengfang is a great talent in Jingzhou, but he only serves as magistrate of Zigui County. This pearl is indeed covered in dust. It's my fault!"
"My lord, please don't do this, you will offend the villain!" Liu Cong's sincere self-blame made Li Yan feel grateful again.
"But Zhengfang can rest assured. In today's troubled times, it is the time for heroes to use force to unify the world and achieve hegemony. Zhengfang will definitely be able to make immortal contributions, gain a wife and a son, honor his ancestors, and prove to the world that I, a man from Jingzhou, will never be better than other places. difference."
Li Yan was from Nanyang County in Jingzhou, and Liu Cong's ministers, such as Pang Tong, Ma Liang, Deng Ai, Huo Jun, Liu Ba, Liao Li, Xiang Lang, etc., were all from Jingzhou. Therefore, Liu Cong's words The people of Jingzhou feel most inspired.
"Don't worry, my lord, I, Li Yan, will definitely fight for my lord on the battlefield, even to the death!"
"Zhengfang came from Shangyong, how do you feel about Shangyong?"
"Under the governance of Shangyong, the government is harmonious and people are harmonious, and all kinds of waste are prosperous. Its prosperity is comparable to Xiangyang."
"So from a positive perspective, what is Shangyong's geographical location? What is its strategic location?" Liu Cong asked again.
"Shangyong is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the three cities are like horns. They rely on each other and are easy to defend and difficult to attack. This strategic position" Li Yan frowned and thought.
Liu Cong didn't say anything. He knew that Li Yan was a handsome man and would definitely see clearly.
"Shangyong borders Sili to the north, Yizhou to the south, Xiangyang to the east, Hanzhong to the west, and has access to Xiliang and Guanzhong. No matter which side we attack in the future, we will have the upper hand." Soon, Li Yan understood. , "This place is a strategic location between the north and the south!"
"What would happen if Shangyong had one hundred thousand soldiers and horses and suddenly came out?"
"One hundred thousand troops and horses suddenly attack" Li Yan's eyes flashed with golden light. No matter where the one hundred thousand troops and horses suddenly attack, they will have unexpected effects. "Lord, the general trend of the world is bound to change!"
"Zhengfang, I want you to train and command a hundred thousand soldiers and horses in Shangyong. I wonder if you are up to the task?"
¡°Don¡¯t worry, my lord, I will never disgrace my mission even though I¡¯m doing nothing!¡±
"Okay, I will make you General Hengye first. Ma Tao and Li Hu will prepare food, weapons, and armor for you, but you must recruit the soldiers yourself. What I want are strong soldiers. When the soldiers are superior, I will I¡¯ll make you General Pingnan again!¡±
