When I learned that Liu Xian was appointed as the governor of Jingzhou by Cao Cao, I was invited Pang Tong, Zhao Yun, Chen Dao, Zhu Huan and others to have a banquet in the mansion.

Today is my birthday, but since it is not an important birthday on the 10th, I have not been public. My eldest brother, second brother, Rong'er and the children are not in Xiangyang. If Zhao Yun hadn't reminded me the day before yesterday, I would have even forgotten the coming of my birthday.

I was not prepared to hold a grand ceremony, but I just invited seven or eight old subordinates who followed me from Yangzhou to the mansion and held a simple banquet, which was not only for celebrating my birthday, but also for contacting my feelings.

Originally, I also invited Kuai Yue, but he was not feeling well these days.

.

"Shi Yuan, what do you think about this?" After waving his hand and asked Seizuo to retreat to the inner hall, I looked up and asked Pang Tong.

After pondering for a moment, Pang Tong put down the wine in his hand and said with a chuckle: "What a Cao Cao, such a sinister trick is used..."

"The general is already the governor of Jingzhou. How could Cao Cao still let Liu Xian be the governor of Jingzhou?" Zhao Yun said with a little confusion.

To be honest, not only Zhao Yun, but also everyone in the hall, including me, could not figure out the clues.

I took over the affairs of the governor of Jingzhou and submitted a letter to Xuchang a few months ago and was recognized by the emperor's personal edict, which is legitimate. But why did Cao Cao create another governor of Jingzhou now?

"The position of governor of the state was first established by Emperor Wu, who was the chief of inspecting counties and states and inspecting officials. During Emperor Cheng, the governor was changed to governor of the state. Later, he became governor, and during Emperor Ling, he was changed to governor of the state, which has been passed down to this day.

However, to this day, there are both states called state patriarchs and governors, all of whom are the chief officials of a state. “Pang Tong knew that among the people here, he was a little confused about the mystery and explained with a smile.

"But because the functions of the state and the governor are basically the same, so the general is that if there is a governor in the state, there is no state governor, and if there is a governor, there is no state governor."

"In other words, Jingzhou is now the second master of one state?" Zhu Huan quickly reacted and said in surprise.

"That's true!" Pang Tong nodded.

"But the military advisor and general of Jingzhou was granted by the emperor's personal order. What excuse did Cao Cao have to seize the position of General of Zhouma and then change the rebel Liu Xian as governor. Moreover, the nine counties of Jingxiang are actually under the hands of the lord.

Even if Cao Cao appointed another governor, he could not change the ownership of Jingzhou. Why did he do such a meaningless thing?" Zhao Yun thought and said.

"Cao Cao appointed Liu Xian as the governor of Jingzhou, but he might not have deprived the general of the position of governor of the state." Pang Tong's knuckles rhythmically hit several cases in front of him.

"What does this mean?" Even I was a little confused.

"Cao Cao's intention was naturally to disrupt Jingzhou. Appointing Liu Xian as the governor. He also rebuilds the governor's headquarters in Nanyang, which will inevitably cause chaos in some of the scholars and civilians in Jingzhou.

If I guess correctly, after Liu Xian established the governor's headquarters, he would have been bewitching the Jingxiang gentry and the people of the people who moved north to Nanyang." Pang Tong analyzed. "But on the other hand, Cao Cao was not convenient for forcibly snatching the position of general and governor.

As General Zilong said, the general took office as the governor of Jingzhou because he was granted the emperor's edict.

The reason why Cao Cao was able to have the status of being a powerful person in Jiuzhou today was largely because he used the emperor to command the princes. If he seized the position of general and governor without any reason at this moment, he would undoubtedly damage the emperor's authority.

In this way, others will not have to worry about the existence of the emperor in the future. Cao Cao will never do such a stupid thing.

In my opinion, Cao Cao wanted to create a situation in Jingzhou with one state and two rulers, deliberately blurring the ownership of Jingzhou, making Jingxiang's scholars and people at a loss.

As for appointing Liu Xian as the governor of Jingzhou, Cao Cao could have completely claimed that he followed the old system."

"Yeah..." After Pang Tong's explanation, I roughly figured out the plot of Cao Cao, "This matter cannot be taken lightly..."

Among the officials in Jingzhou, a considerable number of people are the nature of fence-bearing grass falling with the wind. Previously, when the elder brother was almost foregone conclusion.

They chose to betray Liu Xian and surrender to their elder brother, but they faced Cao Cao, who was more powerful and had the orthodox benefit of the emperor. It was difficult to determine whether they would make another change of position.

Pang Tong twisted his beard and nodded gently...

.

The next day, I summoned civil and military generals to discuss the matter of Liu Xian being appointed as the governor of Jingzhou.

Kuai Yue, who was involved in the discussion with illness, responded extremely fiercely to the matter and angrily accused his son of his bad behavior of disregarding the safety and interests of Jingzhou.

With Kuai Yue's eyesight, we can naturally easily see the consequences of Cao Cao's re-establishment of Jingzhou. He, who attaches great importance to the interests of Jingzhou, naturally would not allow Jingzhou to split again.

After obtaining my consent and ordering the fast horse to report to Lujiang, Kuai Yue decided to gather the officials, generals and escorts from the nine counties of Jingxiang, as well as the forces of various major clans, and jointly wrote to Xuchang, asking to abolish the matter of appointing the governor of Jingzhou again.

At the same time, the provincial governor's office no longer concealed the incident of Liu Xian's escape, listed twelve charges of his father and son, and announced the scholars and citizens of the nine counties of Jingxiang.

On December 18, the ninth year of Jian'an, Lu Xun's army besieged Panyu City on the 27th day.

In the previous twenty-six heaven and earth battles, Lu Xun used war instead, and let the soldiers under his command take turns to practice the siege city - the archers' siege "cloud formation"; the thunder chariot's point shooting, covering; the cloud ladders set up the city, and the rushing car crashes... In the end, the coordinated and integrated operations of each department.

These twenty-six days have been extremely painful and tormenting to the Jiaozhou Army, with casualties being the second, and the psychological pressure is even more terrible.

The overwhelming rain of arrows and the thunderous thunderous chariots were shot, countless companions were shot into porcupines and smashed into meat sauce. The brain cracked and the tragic scene of the tragic encirclement of the remaining limbs made many Jiaozhou soldiers collapsed.

Shi Xie wanted to surrender several times, but he was all blocked by his second son Shi Hui. During these 26 days of defensive battle, Shi Hui not only was not scared, but saw hope for victory.

In his opinion, the combat power of the "enemy army" is nothing but Err. As long as we can continue to persevere, there will be a day to turn the situation around.

But unfortunately, he failed to wait until that day.

On the 27th day, Lu Xun changed his storm-like attack a few days ago. More than 30,000 troops launched a fierce attack from Panyu City like storms, leaving the defending army at a loss and did not know which side to focus on defense.

For a moment, the city was in turmoil and people were in panic.

In order to stabilize the situation, Shi Hui scolded him and even killed more than a dozen soldiers who were willing to retreat.

But he did not expect that these actions did not achieve the unexpected result, but instead brought him a catastrophe. A soldier with a loss of mind suddenly developed a madness after being scolded by Shi Hui. He raised his hand and shot Sergeant Hui in the face and shot him dead on the spot.

After Shi Hui died, the defense of Panyu City immediately fell into unprecedented chaos. A small group of soldiers opened the city gate in chaos and welcomed Lu Xun's army into the city. Panyu was then broken.

When Lu Xun's army surrounded the provincial capital, Shi Xie, who was desperate, finally chose to surrender.

In the Battle of Panyu, Lu Xun was uprooted by the forces of the local scholars who had been entrenched in Jiaozhou for more than ten years.

Subsequently, Lu Xun used the seal and ribbon of Jiaozhou's master in the place where he seized, and issued documents to each county and county as a sub-master, announcing that the ownership of Jiaozhou had changed, and ordered officials of each county and county to take the initiative to contact the southern army for surrender.

At the same time, Lu Xun used flying pigeons to convey information alternately and rushed to Lujiang to win.

December 30th, New Year's Eve

The north wind whistles, carrying countless snowflakes, overwhelmingly. When the day was getting late and the strong wind gradually stopped, Lujiang ushered in the first heavy snowfall after the beginning of winter.

Snowflakes as big as goose feathers scattered to the ground, and soon the entire city turned into a silver-covered shape.

Although the snowstorm was heavy, the people in the city were still excited, celebrating another good harvest and wishing for a good harvest in the coming year.

The crackling sound of firecrackers began to sound since the beginning of the extinction, adding countless lively atmosphere to this ice and snow city.

"Uncle Emperor, the little ones are leaving first!"

"Let's go slowly, it's snowing outside, please be careful!" The elder brother sent away the last group of Lujiang Township members with a gratified smile.

Because it was New Year's Eve, tens of thousands of people in Lujiang City spontaneously selected some respected villagers as their representatives, and came to the Grand General's Mansion to meet the eldest brother. One was to express gratitude to the eldest brother's moral politics, and the other was to offer the three new animals and grains to the eldest brother this year, and also to pray for blessings and luck.

There were three fellow villagers who were "daring" and asked their elder brother to name their newborn grandson.

"I'm finally finished..." The elder brother stretched out his hands and feet, turned around and smiled and said to me and my second brother who were standing aside, "Second brother, third brother, this time we can finally get together for a peaceful New Year.

Your sister-in-law should have a family dinner ready, so let's go!"

"I asked someone to call Zilong. He is alone in Xiangyang. After he can't return to Lujiang, he will stay at home alone." I nodded and said with a smile.

Since Jingzhou has no priorities, from the intelligence point of view, Cao Cao has no intention of committing the crime at the moment. By the end of the year, I entrusted Kuai Yue and Pang Tong to take charge of the Jingzhou army and political affairs, and I brought Zhao Yun back to Lujiang.

It’s like going home to visit relatives and celebrate the New Year!

"Don't worry, third brother, I have asked Dingguo to call Zilong, I'll probably arrive soon!" The eldest brother smiled and shook his head, holding me with one hand and second brother with the other, and walked towards the back hall with brisk steps.
