Chapter 39 Resolving the Crisis

,,,,,,,,,,,,

The provincial governor who arrived in time was stunned by the order of Cai Zhongzhong. The archery order was not issued, and Gan Ning's impending killing aura was also taken back. The two of them looked at the rushing person at the same time.

The person who came was wearing fish scale armor and an eagle-edged helmet, and was just dressed as an ordinary low-level officer, but the BMW under his crotch was particularly eye-catching.

Gan Ning was surprised, but he didn't show any expression. Cai Zhong stared at BMW with a greed in his eyes. He looked at Liu Jing again. He didn't know him. Seeing that he was just a low-level officer, he was furious and pointed a long knife in his hand, "Who are you? You dare to commit crimes."

The people around him were whispering, and they were all surprised. The person who came was Liu Jing. At the critical moment, he rushed in without hesitation.

Liu Jing said lightly: "I am just a garrison leader, and I want to say something to General Cai."

Cai Zhongjiao narrowed his eyes and smiled grimly, "Things that don't know what you know is alive and dead, a small small village chief dares to sue him. He should be killed according to military rules, leave this horse for me and spare your life. Otherwise, I will kill you together."

Cai Zhong stared at Liu Jing with his fierce appearance, but Liu Jing sneered.

"Arrowman is ready" Cai Zhong ordered viciously.

The famous crossbowman raised the crossbow arrow. At this time, a Bo Chang who was guarding the city gate ran forward and whispered a few words in Cai Zhong's ear.

Cai Zhong was stunned. The nephew of the provincial governor, it turned out that this young general was Liu Jing who defeated Cai Jin. He looked at the young general in front of him with confusion, Xiongjun's war horse, and his expression was fearless. He looked like this.

Cai Zhong didn't dare to do anything randomly anymore, and waved his hand and "let it go"

The soldiers all put down their crossbow arrows, and Liu Jing turned around and smiled at Gan Ning and said, "General Gan is a hero, so let me say a few fair words."

Gan Ning secretly cried out ashamed. He was also greedy for the young man's war horse. He wanted to snatch it, but unexpectedly the other party was fully protecting himself, which made him feel ashamed. His face was a little hot, and he nodded and said, "Shaolang, please tell me."

Liu Jing was enthusiastic and generous in his previous life, liked to stand up for trouble, was willing to solve problems for others, and had the experience of being a lawyer. He knew very well how to alleviate the conflict between the two parties in this situation.

Not only should we control the upcoming conflict, but we should also keep Gan Ning, not let him go to Dongwu, and we should not offend Cai Zhong too much. We must give him a way out to prevent him from being angry and killing people regardless of the consequences. In short, we must take care of everything in order to eliminate this crisis.

He showed his identity and also gained the recognition of the other party. This is the first step towards success, but the next few steps cannot be missed.

Liu Jing bowed and smiled at Cai Zhong and said, "General Cai is loyal to his duties and his meticulous manner is amazing. However, General Gan came to visit thousands of miles, and he was also sincere. I believe that the governor of the state is willing to humble and bring him the reputation of being a wise man and hospitality all over the world, so he summoned more talented people, so he asked General Cai to be a little tolerant and wait for the governor of the state to deal with this matter. I don't know what General Cai thinks."

First, I have a few compliments, but the words afterwards are soft and hard, and soft and thorny. In fact, I am warning Cai Zhong not to ruin your lord's reputation for recruiting talents.

You should know that reputation was important at the end of the Han Dynasty, especially for princes like Liu Biao. Only those who have wise reputations will have someone to surrender.

Cai Zhong's face looked very ugly. He originally wanted to kill Gan Ning without knowing it. This would relieve his hatred and at the same time kill the water thief and kill two kills one stone.

However, when Liu Jing appeared, he knew that his plan had failed, but just forgot it, and his face was a little unrestrained. Cai Zhong said coldly: "It turned out to be Duke Jing, who had offended him just now. Since Duke Jing wants to have a reputation as a governor in Baozhou, please report to the governor of the state. This person is a giant thief in Jiangyang. I want to watch him and prevent him from committing looting in the name of surrendering."

Liu Jing was a little embarrassed. At this time, he could not leave Beicheng. He knew very well that once he left, something would happen. Even if Gan Ning didn't die, he would be agitated by Cai Zhong.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Can you ask General Cai to accompany me?"

"no"

Cai Zhong refused flatly, "It is my duty to guard the city gate strictly and prevent the water thieves from entering the city to invade. I will not leave the city gate one step."

Liu Jing really felt that things were difficult to handle. It would have been better if he had known that his entourage would not leave first. What should he do? Who would be willing to send a message for him?

The people on both sides were talking. Not far away, under a big tree, an old Taoist priest with a crane-haired and young face was leading a strong mule to look at Liu Jing from a distance, stroking his long beard and smiling without saying a word.

At this moment, a long laugh came from the wine shop next to you, "Mr. Jing, I will report to you how the governor of the state will be."

I saw a thin man walking out of the winery, wearing a white Confucian robe and a flat scarf, about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, fair skin, bright and upright eyes, elegant and calm, and indescribably gentle.

Cai Zhong knew this person and secretly called out a lucky call in his heart, "It turns out that he was hiding in a restaurant and almost made a big mistake."

Liu Jing was overjoyed and bowed and said, "May I ask you to respect your surname and name."

The young man bowed his hands and smiled slightly, "I am aide in the Liuzhou governor's tent, and I am the Shanyang native Yiji."

............

The General's Mansion in Zhennan, located in the west of the city, is also the governor's Mansion in Jingzhou, and is the power center of the entire Jingxiang area. At this time, in the prefecture's official room, Liu Biaozheng, Cai Mao and Kuai Yue discussed important matters.

Liu Biao received a letter written by Yuan Shao today, asking Liu Biao to send troops to the Central Plains. Yuan Shao attacked from the north and the south, attacked Cao Cao from the north and south, killed the Han thieves, and jointly promoted the righteousness.

In fact, this was the second letter written by Yuan Shao. During the Battle of Guandu last year, Yuan Shao wrote a letter asking to form an alliance with Liu Biao to attack Cao Cao. Liu Biao hesitated, but his important officials, except Huang Zu, unanimously opposed the alliance with Yuan Shao.

Even Han Song and Liu Xian persuaded him to surrender to Cao Cao while he was weak and gain reuse.

Today, Yuan Shao's second letter did not cause any major turmoil. Kuai Yue smiled and said, "Last year, I knew that I would be defeated, so I advised the lord not to contact Yuan. Yuan Shao was not kind or wise. He had Tian Feng's plan but was jealous and harmed him. He had only a big army but was indecisive. He was so similar to He Jin back then. Now he fought with Cao's army again and would be defeated."

Liu Biao pondered for a moment and asked Cai Mao again, "What does Degui think?"

Although Cai Mao and Kuai Yue had a family interest dispute, their opinions were consistent in opposing the alliance with Yuan Shao. Cai Mao sneered, "When Yuan Qiang and Cao Cao were weak last year, we did not form an alliance with Yuan Shao. Now Yuan is weak and Cao Cao is strong, but we want to form an alliance with Yuan Shao. Isn't this a joke about ten more letters like this? The lord doesn't have to pay attention to it."

Liu Biao was really worried. He was not worried about Yuan Shao, but about himself. Once Cao Cao destroyed Yuan Shao, would the next one be the target of Jingzhou?

Cai Mao saw Liu Biao's concerns and said, "I suspect that this letter was Yuan Shao's plan to cause Jing Nan."

Liu Biao was stunned, "How to say this?"

"Yuan Shao was defeated in Guandu last year, and Cangting was defeated again this year. It was already a dead end. At this time, he wanted to protect himself. He could not kill the Han thieves and shared his thoughts on righteousness. If the lord sends troops to the Central Plains, Jingzhou will inevitably be retaliated by Cao's army. Yuan Shao escaped the disaster and was able to breathe his breath. This is actually Yuan Shao's plan to use the plan to surround Wei and save Zhao. The lord must not fall into the trap."

Liu Biao sighed secretly, "There is a crisis in saving, but there will be future troubles if he doesn't save him, which really makes him a dilemma."

At this time, a guard quickly walked to the door and bowed to report: "Qi Zhuzhou Governor, Mr. Yi asked for a meeting and said that there was an important matter."

............

Yiji was from Gaoping County, Shanyang County and was a fellow villager with Liu Biao. When he was a teenager, he went to Jingxiang to escape the war and depended on Liu Biao. Because he was extremely intelligent and never remembered his studies, he was deeply appreciated by Liu Biao, so he helped him complete his career and became a teacher at Xiangyang's famous scholar Pang Degong.

When he was twenty years old, Pang Degong recommended him to Liu Biao and became Liu Biao's aide. He sorted out books and drafted them for him, which was deeply trusted by Liu Biao.

Today, Yiji rested for one day and went shopping in Fancheng on the other side. When he came back, he spent lunch at a tavern outside the North City. Unexpectedly, he happened to meet Gan Ning coming to serve and saw Liu Jing decisively resolve the crisis with his own eyes.

Yi Ji hurried to the lobby, and was still feeling deeply about Liu Jing's decisive and wit. This not only requires courage, but also means, and also requires reasonableness and integrity. Any negligence will fail. Liu Jing did all these things, as if this young man was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but he was skillful in dealing with things, which made Yi Ji deeply amazed.

Yi Ji knelt down on both knees and bowed respectfully to Liu Biao, "There is an important matter under his subordinates to report to the lord."

"What's wrong with Ji Bo?" Liu Biao asked with a smile.

"I went to Fancheng today. When I came back just now, I was about to meet Gan Ning and come to surrender to my lord."

"But that Jinfan thief Gan Ning Gan Xing Ba"

Cai Mao was furious next to him. He was in charge of the Jingzhou naval army and fought with Gan Ning many times, but was humiliated by him, which seriously damaged his reputation in the army and made him hate Gan Ning in his heart.

"It's this person"

Yi Ji then slammed Cai Zhong outside the city gate to kill Gan Ning, and Liu Jing stepped forward to resolve the murderous intent that both sides were about to break out. He explained in detail. He was eloquent and had a good impression of Liu Jing. In the description, he deliberately raised Liu Jing's image a little.

Cai Mao and Kuai Yue looked at each other. It turned out that Liu Jing was back. Cai Mao was a person with status. Although he hated Gan Ning to the core, he would not be as unscrupulous as Cai Zhong and knew that he should not take the lead in the officialdom first. He held back the anger in his heart, stopped talking for the time being, and waited for Liu Biao's opinion.

Liu Biao pondered for a moment and said, "How to deal with this Gan Ning is indeed a headache."

He glanced at Cai Mao, meaning to seek Cai Mao's opinion. Cai Mao sneered, "This man killed countless people and was full of evil. How many people in Jingzhou want to kill them soon. Since they have arrived at the door, I think the innocent creatures who died at his hands can be in peace."

Yi Ji was very anxious. If he decided to kill Gan Ning, what is the difference between this and Cai Zhong killing him? He quickly advised: "My lord, please listen to me. Gan Ning is a hero of Jingxiang, with a strong martial arts skills. Now that the world is in chaos, the thief of Cao is glimpse of the south. It is the time when Jingzhou is employed. Moreover, there are many famous scholars and few military generals. Gan Ning came to surrender to the lord. God should use his force to not blame the past. He must not refuse him thousands of miles away, let alone kill him. I hope the lord will understand clearly."

Cai Mao hummed heavily, "The wise men help the wise men, and the evil men ruin the terrible men. If the lord takes him as a general, he will destroy his reputation. Who among the wise men in the world dares to surrender to the lord Mr. Yi? He should consider the lord's reputation."

Liu Biao was a little conflicted. He also knew that Gan Ning had high martial arts skills and was inappropriate to the courage of thousands of men. He used him as a general and just used the Eastern Wu or Cao's army. However, Cai Mao's words hit the nail on the head and took him as a general would damage his reputation and stop the wise, which made Liu Biao really unsure of his attention.

At this time, Kuai Yue smiled and said, "Actually, the lord still has a first line to leave."
