The person who came was the bandit head known as the Left King of Jiangxia. He was originally a general of Liu Pi in Runan. Because he was from Xiangyang, Liu Pi ordered him to return to Jingzhou to open up a new foundation. However, the people of Jingzhou were determined and did not want to go up the mountain to become bandits. After a year of scattering, they only pulled out an army of more than a thousand people, which was far from his promise to Liu Pi that his goal of 10,000 yuan a year.

Today he happened to pick up his brother who had returned from the robbery at the foot of the mountain, but he heard that his brother Wang Tai met his benefactor. He knew very well that Wang Tai's benefactor was Liu Jing, the nephew of Liu Biao, which made him very anxious and urged the horse to chase him.

A few dozen steps away, Liu Jing looked up and down at the bandit's head. He was twenty-five or six years old, eight feet tall, and handsome. He held a long sword weighing at least fifty kilograms in his hand, wearing an eagle helmet and armor. He didn't look like a bandit and thief, he was clearly a general.

The Left King of Jiangxia was also looking at Liu Jing, a little taller than him, young and heroic, with extraordinary appearance, and his eyes seemed to be sharp enough to see through his heart. He thought to himself that this is the famous Jinggong of Jingzhou, which is worthy of his name.

However, at this time, the King of Jiangxia Zuo was more concerned about his subordinates' stay or not. He turned over and got out of the horse and went up to Wang Tai and said, "Second brother, do you really want to abandon your brother and leave?"

Wang Tai sighed, pulled the leader aside, and whispered to him: "Brother, this is actually an opportunity. The Yellow Turbans of Runan have been destroyed, Liu Pi and Gong Du are all dead, brother has been struggling for many years, do you think we have any hope for any future?"

Wang Tai's words hit the heart of the Left King of Jiangxia. He originally came to Jingzhou to fight with hope, but years have passed, and he has only a thousand people under his command, and it is starting to be difficult for him to support only these thousand people, otherwise he would not have crossed the boundary and ran to the riverside to rob.

They gradually couldn't make it, and they were notorious and became increasingly embarrassed. The officers and soldiers surrounded and suppressed each other more fiercely. It is very likely that Liu Biao would also send troops to encircle and suppress them. More importantly, the Yellow Turban Army in Runan was destroyed. He was alone and he would die sooner or later. So what was his future?

The King of Jiangxia Zuo sighed, "Even Gan Ning surrendered to the government, why do I want to be a thief for the rest of my life? I originally wanted to surrender to Liu Bei. After all, he came from Runan. Liu Pi and Gong Du surrendered to him, but he felt that he had no future with Liu Bei and could not make a decision in his heart."

Wang Tai knew the elder brother's mind very well, and had great ambitions, but was not appreciated. He wanted to follow Gan Ning and defect to Liu Biao, but was afraid that Liu Biao would not tolerate him, so he handed him over to Huang Zu. He took the opportunity to say, "It's better for the elder brother to defect to Gong Jing with me. He is Liu Biao's nephew and my benefactor. He is kind and righteous and tolerant, and he will not have any future with him."

The Left King of Jiangxia was also a little moved. This was Liu Biao's nephew. In the future, he would definitely be a prince in Jingzhou. He pondered for a while and said, "I don't know if he is willing to accept me."

"I'll talk to my elder brother."

Wang Tai walked quickly to Liu Jing again, bowed and said, "My brother, my elder brother is also a talented person, Wu Shuangquan, he doesn't want to be a thief for the first generation. He is willing to follow him, but he doesn't know if he wants to include it."

Liu Jing looked at the King of Jiangxia, who was not far away, and saw that he looked here with expectation, with the whip in his hand bent, and he seemed a little nervous. No matter how he looked, he didn't look like an ordinary bandit, Liu Jing felt aroused in his heart and asked, "What's the name of King of Jiangxia?"

"He was named Liao, his name was Hua, his courtesy name was Yuanjian, and he was from Zhonglu, Xiangyang."

Liu Jing was stunned, and then he felt a surprise. It turned out that the Left King of Jiangxia was Liao Hua. No wonder he didn't look like an ordinary thief, and he had a bit of a general. If Liao Hua wanted to vote for him, of course he would not be able to ask for it. Liu Jing immediately said: "As long as he serves me sincerely, I will definitely use him."

Wang Tai ran away. Soon, Liao Hua followed him quickly and knelt in front of Liu Jing, "The bandit Liao Hua, Meng Jing Gong, did not abandon him, was the first to be a good job for the Lord."

Liu Jing quickly dismounted and helped Liao Hua up, "General Liao is a talented general, it's a pity to be reduced to the Yellow Turban. Fortunately, the general woke up and was not too late. Since the general was willing to serve me, Liu Jing, I will never treat you badly."

Liao Hua felt ashamed and happy in his heart. He was ashamed that he even mocked Gan Ning for joining the government, and he finally walked on this line. He was happy that he felt Liu Jing's sincerity and did not despise him because he was born into a Yellow Turban bandit. This respect made him feel a sense of becoming a human again.

He also said sincerely: "Liao Hua has been confused for many years. Today, he meets the wise master. He is like seeing the sun with clear clouds. He is so happy. Liao Hua should change his mind and become a new person."

For some reason, Liu Jing suddenly thought of the saying, "There is no general in Shu, and Liao Hua is the pioneer." In fact, on the other hand, Shu is not that bad, but proves that Liao Hua will behave in the world.

..

Although Liao Hua was eager to follow Liu Jing, Liu Jing did not take him with him immediately. Liao Hua surrendered to Liu Jing because of Wang Taizhi's persuasion. Although his tone was very sincere, Liu Jing always felt a little hasty. He wanted to give Liao Hua some time to think, so he asked Liao Hua to clean up the village, dismiss the tribes, and make an appointment with Chaisang to meet.

Liu Jing took Wang Tai and more than 20 military slaves he released. Unlike Liao Hua, they were willing to follow him wholeheartedly. Liu Jing hired another big ship, two ships headed for the south.

Liu Jing stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the river with his hands behind his back. The more he walked south, the wider the river surface was, and the waves on the river surface were vast. Flocks of gulls and herons circling and singing on the river surface. The sky was high and the clouds were light, which made people feel relaxed and happy, and their hearts were particularly open.

At this time, Xu Shu slowly walked to him, stared at Jiang's face and smiled, "I didn't expect that this accident would end up being a big gain."

"Yuan Zhi didn't blame me for accepting the Yellow Turban Thief as his subordinate." Liu Jing glanced at him and asked with a smile.

Xu Shu shook his head and sighed, "Actually, I admire Cao Cao very much. No matter how noble or low a person is, it is simple to say, but how difficult it is to do it. From Liu Jingzhou, you can see that even the northern aristocrats with high status, he refused and refused, let alone the lowly people. Jinggong, no matter how Liao Hua came from the Yellow Turban, resolutely included him, which made me admire his heart even more. Gong Gong is an alien in Jingzhou."

Liu Jing smiled bitterly. He was indeed an alien in Jingzhou. He had no distinction between noble and humble family in his mind. Although his speech habits had been integrated into this era, his thoughts still retained a little bit of equality in future generations. He did not receive the education of this era, and naturally he did not have the mark of this era.

Although Liu Jing is also trying to integrate, the things in his bones will not change. He always has a wish in his heart. He hopes that one day, it will not be him to adapt to this society, but to this society to adapt to him.

At this time, Xiaobao's blaming sound came from the cabin, "You are not like Jiancha, but you are just a medicine. Jiancha cannot be distracted at all. If you are like this, you will disappear in the blink of an eye. You should die of thirst."

Liu Jing and Xu Shu looked at each other, and both showed knowing smiles. This was Xiao Bao teaching Hou Wu a lesson. Hou Wu is the Wuhou. He is only eleven years old today, and he is the same age as Xiao Bao. He has been begging on the street since the year old and has been a bandit in the mountains. Liu Jing likes his cleverness, so he accepted him and named him Liu Zheng, with his nickname Hou Wu.

Hou Wutian was very smart and was especially good at observing his expressions. As soon as he got on the boat, he tried his best to please Xiao Bao and work for her. Unfortunately, he was not the ingredients for Jiancha. He failed both times Jiancha and was scolded by Xiao Bao.

Liu Jing slowly walked into the cabin and saw Hou Wu standing with his head down, with a look of frustration, while Xiao Bao put his hands on his hips, looking like a fierce big sister, teaching Hou Wu to his uselessness a lesson.

Seeing Liu Jing come in, Xiaobao had to say angrily: "Forget it, you are not the ingredients for Jiancha, so I will come in the future. You don't have to fold your husband's clothes. Just serve tea and water and run errands."

"Hou Wu, go and drive the boat with the boatman"

Liu Jing patted his round head and smiled, "A real man, don't do anything about women all day long."

"Thank you for your teachings, I understand."

Hou Wu spitted his tongue at Xiaobao, made a face, and ran away. Even Xu Shu couldn't help laughing. This guy looked at the young man, but he was still a child in his bones.

.

The ship had been away for two more days. That morning, Hou Wu, who was on the top of the mast, pointed to the distance and shouted: "It's here, Chaisang City has arrived."

Chaisang is the Jiujiang in later generations. In the sixth year of Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty, when Liu Biao ruled Jingzhou, it belonged to Jiangxia County, located in the southeast of Jiangxia County, and was a strategic location on the eastmost side of Jingzhou. Due to its important geographical location, it became a place that military strategists must fight for. Every time the Jiangdong Army advances westward, it always points to Chaisang.

In fact, Chaisang has changed hands several times between Jingzhou and Jiangdong, but most of the time it is under the control of Jingzhou.

During the long-term war between Jingzhou and Jiangdong, Jingzhou was in the four battles, threatened by Cao's army in the north and fought against Jiaozhou in the south. Therefore, the war with Jiangdong was always on the defensive, facing the aggressive offensive of the Jiangdong army again and again.

For this reason, the city of Chaisang was built particularly tall, with a height of 100 meters. It was built of huge bluestone. It was wide and thick. You could drive a carriage at the top of the city.

But Chaisang City is not big, with a circumference of only twelve miles and a population of more than 10,000, so it can only be considered a Zhongxian.

Currently, there are 1,000 troops stationed in Chaisang County, with military and political unity. The county magistrate and Ya General are the same. They are named Zhou Ling, and they are also the son-in-law of the Huang family, and are also native of Chaisang, and are the brothers of the Zhou family of the Chaisang clan.

In addition to the Zhou family, there are two major families in Chaisang County. One is the Tao family, the first merchant in Jiangnan, and the other is half a merchant, the Zhu family, but the Zhu family is more of land. Chaisang has always had the Tao family's ship and the Zhu family's cow.

These days, Chaisang County is particularly lively. The old master of the Tao family is about to celebrate his 70th birthday and invites all the invitations. Nearly a thousand celebrities from various counties in the south of the Yangtze River will gather in Chaisang.

Even Liu Biao wrote a congratulatory letter in person and sent Liu Cong to celebrate Mr. Tao's birthday on his behalf, and at the same time, he also wanted to appease the last time the Tao family was frightened in the case of smuggling weapons.

Interestingly, Liu Biao's nephew Liu Jing also came to Chaisang to pay his birthday, but he came in his private capacity.
