Chapter 49 Go to Xiangyang

"Oh? Liu Jingzhou agreed to form an alliance with our army?" Liu He asked Han Song with a hint of joy on his face.

"Hehe, with the current situation, how can my lord have other choices?" Han Song smiled bitterly, and then said, "I will not hide it from the envoy. Although Jingxiang has been pacified, there are thieves everywhere and the people are living in poverty. In order to stabilize the counties of Jingzhou and restore their vitality, my lord is indeed not suitable to send a large army to seize Nanyang. Although the envoy seizes Nanyang, he is also dedicated to fighting the thieves to serve the emperor. My lord is kind and righteous. Even if he has the strength to take back Nanyang, he cannot bear to do this, leaving the envoy with nowhere to return and let down his loyalty."

It turned out that after Wen Pin returned to Xiangyang and reported the matter about Nanyang Sheng to Liu Biao, Liu Biao was immediately furious. The war faction, who was the pro-war faction, even more clamored that he must send troops immediately to completely erase Liu He.

However, the wise Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue and others shook their heads and expressed strong opposition, because Jingzhou was not calm at that time, with thieves everywhere, the economy was declining, and devastated. In this case, it would be better to temporarily lend Nanyang to Liu He and let him help him defend the north, so that he could take the opportunity to develop his economy. In the end, Liu Biao decided to do this mainly because of Liu He's identity. Since he was the son of Liu Yan, the governor of Youzhou, the base camp was in Youzhou, it was impossible to occupy Nanyang for a long time, and he would eventually return Nanyang to Liu Biao.

Therefore, after some consideration, Liu He decided to send Han Song to Nanyang to meet Liu He and explain his sincerity in demanding peace. Of course, this also means to examine Liu He's ability. If Liu He is not enough to defend Nanyang, he would not mind killing Liu He secretly. Anyway, Youzhou is so far from Jingzhou, even if Liu Yu knows, he can't do anything to himself. What's more, Liu Yu is having a very unhappy relationship with Gongsun Zan in Youzhou, and he is unable to protect himself and has no ability to retaliate against him.

"Since that's the case, I'm thankful for Liu Jingzhou." Seeing that Han Song's purpose was exactly the same as Cui Jun expected, Liu He was very happy. He bowed to the direction of Xiangyang and said solemnly: "Please rest assured that Han Zhonglang will go to Xiangyang in three days to meet Liu Jingzhou."

"Okay, Han will send his entourage to report to my lord, and Han will personally accompany the envoy to Xiangyang." Although he thought that Liu He would definitely go, when Liu He really won, Han Song was still very happy.

"This person's courage is indeed admirable. He actually dares to go. Alas, my two young masters may not have such courage. The eldest son is better, but the second son..."

Thinking of his lord's two sons, especially his youngest son Liu Cong, he shook his head helplessly.

Three days later, early in the morning, Liu He left Wancheng on time and headed for Xiangyang. Before leaving, Liu He entrusted Guo Jia to act as the prefect of Nanyang and be in charge of Nanyang affairs. Although Guo Jia was lazy by nature, he knew that at this critical moment, he could only take on this burden, so he nodded and agreed.

In addition to Han Song, there were Cui Jun and Chen Dao, as well as the 300 elite Bai Libing under Chen Dao, including Pei Yuanshao and Deng Zhan, two personal soldiers, chief and deputy captains.

Liu He believed that as long as Chen Dao and others were there, it would be enough to protect his own safety, and he believed that Liu Biao's trip was more out of sincerity in pursuing peace, rather than to harm him.

These two days are the end of the New Year, and the New Year is about to celebrate. Although most people are living a bad life, they have some hope for the coming year, so they have made sufficient preparations for the New Year, put all their efforts into making the New Year more abundant.

Therefore, the journey was full of festive colors, especially when Liu He came outside Xiangyang City, and when he saw the people coming in and out, he felt like he had come to the prosperous age. Compared with the people in Nanyang, the faces of all the people were all delicious, it was a world of difference.

At this time, Liu He was also impressed by Liu Biao's ability. It has been less than three years since he was appointed as the governor of Jingzhou. It was really not easy. At the same time, he also secretly decided that he must not let down the expectations of the people under his rule. Even if he could not meet Liu Biao's Xiangyang people, he would try his best to make the people live a better life.

"Liu Jingzhou has only been in Xiangyang for more than two years, right? It was able to heal the trauma of the war and have enough food and clothing. This talent is really admirable." Since he was about to form an alliance with Liu Biao, Liu He naturally did not stingy with praise.

After hearing this, a faint smile suddenly appeared on his face, and then said to Liu He: "The envoy is not simple either. Haha, you can see that the people of Nanyang trust and attachment to the envoy, and Song can also see that the people in Wancheng saw that although the people there were not rich, they were already quite peaceful. Song believed that in less than two or three years, all parts of Nanyang would be managed as long as Xiangyang."

"Haha, thanks to Han Zhonglang Ji Yan." Liu He sighed secretly in his heart, because he knew that this was actually just a luxury for himself or the people of Nanyang, because this place was in the four battles and was not suitable for staying for a long time. Besides, his foundation was in Youzhou, and he had to go back sooner or later. And if his memory was not bad, the conflict between his cheap father Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan would soon explode, so he had to rush back to Youzhou before the conflict broke out, because he knew that with Liu Yu's temperament, it would be difficult to defeat Gongsun Zan.

Therefore, he was destined to not stay in Nanyang for a long time, and he could only be misloved by the people of Nanyang. However, he also secretly decided that even if he really couldn't stay for a long time, he would try his best to bring some benefits to the people.

At this time, Liu He saw a middle-aged scholar in his fifties leading many people from afar, waiting for something. You don’t need to think about it and you must be welcoming his arrival.

Liu He also felt that his face was very glorious when he was able to be greeted by the dignified governor of Jingzhou.

However, Liu He did not see that behind Liu Biao, another middle-aged scholar dressed up, but the tough man was looking at him hatefully, and at the same time, he was thinking in his heart: "Liu He has actually arrived in Jingzhou and worked with the old man all the way. But this is also an opportunity to let me take the opportunity to get rid of this kid. Haha, this is what I promised Meng De at the beginning, so I can't go back on my word. Well, with that, I can do this, and I won't be afraid that Liu He will not teach you."
