A doctor led Liu Jing to bandage and treatment. Cai Mao felt bored and retreated to the front army. Li Gui reported to Liu Biao another day and said goodbye. Only Liu Biao and Kuai Yue were left in the room.

Liu Biao stood in front of the window, staring at the big trees outside the window, looking a little lonely. He didn't know why he felt lost in his heart. Perhaps his two sons couldn't say what Liu Jing said.

Liu Biao was finally persuaded, of course he had to consider the overall situation. Before he decided to use a knife to eradicate Liu Bei, he did not realize that this matter would be related to Eastern Wu. When Liu Jing clarified the pros and cons, especially made him realize that eradicating Liu Bei would be more harmful than good for him, Liu Biao's determination finally shook.

Kuai Yue sat in his original position and stared at Liu Biao's back calmly. He followed Liu Biao for more than ten years and knew Liu Biao's mood. He knew that Liu Biao had been persuaded, and Kuai Yue also felt heartless.

"Isn't the lord happy that he has such a nephew?"

Kuai Yue could feel Liu Biao's loss and understand why he was lost, so he specially bit his nephew very hard and reminded Liu Biao that in a certain way, nephews are the same.

Liu Biao smiled bitterly in his heart, slowly turned around and said gently: "I have considered it too much. Of course, I feel relieved to have such a nephew. To be honest, even you and Degui can't see that Cao Cao's intention is in Eastern Wu, but my nephew sees through it. Can you not feel proud?"

Kuai Yue smiled and said with emotion: "The younger waves of the Yangtze River push the older waves. We are all old. We should give our younger generations more opportunities. To be honest, Gong Jing's performance this time is indeed remarkable. It is not just a lesson today. Last night, his fight in Cao's army was even more exciting and it makes people feel that the world belongs to them."

Liu Biao nodded, "You are right. I want to give young people more opportunities. This time Jing'er made me understand that he can completely conquer the other side for me."

Kuai Yue was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "I recommend Duke Jing to be the governor of Jiangxia and the deputy of Huang Shouzhi. What should I do?"

A trace of unhappiness flashed in Liu Biao's eyes. Last night, Chang advised him to place Jing'er in Jiangxia. Kuai Yue also said so today. Didn't these two people just collude in private?

Liu Biao said without saying a word, "Don't worry, I'll arrange for him when his injury is healed. This time, since I know his ability, of course I have to use him."

Speaking of this, Liu Biao remembered something again and said with a smile: "There is also the marriage between Qi'er and Jing'er. Qi'er is not young, so let him get married with Jing'er early to avoid us elders always worrying about them. What do you think?"

Jing'er is Kuai Yue's nephew and Kuai Liang's daughter. She is dignified and beautiful and friendly. Liu Biao has long taken a fancy to her and has joked that he is willing to let her be for his daughter-in-law. He said this today, even if it is his official statement.

Kuai Yue was overjoyed and quickly stood up to salute, "The Kuai family thanked his lord for favoring him, and hoped that this marriage would become an unbreakable bond between the Liu and Kuai families."

Liu Biao nodded, "In two days, I will ask the matchmaker to come to propose marriage."

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

Liu Biao finally decided to send troops to rescue Liu Bei. He immediately ordered Cai Mao and Zhang Yun to advance together by land and water, leading the ten thousand Jingzhou troops to attack Cao's army besieged Xinye.

The Jingzhou army and Liu Bei's army joined forces inside and outside to attack Cao's army. Xiahou Dun was defeated and fled back to Wancheng. Xiahou Dun was unwilling to accept it and wanted to reorganize his troops and fight again. At this moment, Zhang Fei led the cavalry to attack Ye County at night, and burned down the supplies and food of Cao's army, causing heavy losses to the food and food of Cao's army.

Xiahou Dun had to give up his plan to buy Xinye again and wrote a letter to apologize to Cao Cao.

Cao's army's fierce invasion of the south ended up failing in the joint fight between the Jingzhou army and the Liu Bei army.

This news made Jingzhou jubilant, gongs and drums, celebrating victory, and also pushed Liu Biao's prestige to a new high.

But Liu Biao was not happy. For him, this was not the best ending.

.........

At night, Liu Biao was lying on the bed and couldn't fall asleep. He stared at the tent. He was still thinking about Liu Jing's going to Jiangxia. In fact, Liu Biao had already planned to let Liu Qi or Liu Cong go to Jiangxia because he was worried about Huang Zu.

Although Huang Zu was once his confidant, after Sun Jian's death, Huang Zu became increasingly arrogant and gradually controlled Jiangxia. He served as the guard of Jiangxia for seven or eight years, and Jiangxia almost became his Huang family's territory.

Two years ago, Cao's army attacked Nanyang for the second time, and Xiangfan was shocked. Liu Biao ordered Huang Zuhuo to lead Jiangxia's army to aid, but Huang Zu refused to threaten Jiangdong and refused to send troops. Last autumn, Cao's army attacked Runan, but Huang Zu still made excuses to refuse to transfer Jiangxia's army to Xiangyang. This made Liu Biao dissatisfied and became suspicious of Huang Zu.

But Liu Biao was worried that Changqi and Cicong were not Huang Zu's opponents, so he was reluctant to make up his mind. This time, the talent shown by Liu Jing made Liu Biao look at him with admiration. It would be okay to put Liu Jing away from Jiangxia, but... Liu Biao felt that he needed to find a capable helper for him.

.........

The next morning, in the study room, Liu Biao was discussing the matter with a veteran general in his fifties.

This veteran is Huang Zhong, a famous general in Jingzhou. Huang Zhong is over eight feet tall and looks like a giant ape. He is strong and strong. His arms are powerful. He can use an 80-pound red dragon sword with a sword technique that is elusive. He is the veritable number one general in Jingzhou.

Especially when he was able to drive two stone bows, he was also known as the number one arrow in Jingzhou. Although he was over 50 years old and had to be half white, his majesty was still as strong as that of the past.

Huang Zhong was appointed as the General of the Central Army and was also a famous general in Jingzhou. He has been in the army for more than ten years and has outstanding prestige in the Jingzhou army.

In the Romance of China, Huang Zhong is a late-achieving veteran, but in fact, he only appeared in the Central Plains for fewer appearances, and his deeds in the first half of his life are unknown to the world.

However, he made great achievements in Liu Biao's fight for Jingzhou and following Liu Biao's battles in the south and north, especially in the rebellion of quelling Zhang Xianfu in Changsha County, and was promoted to the General of the General of the Two Thousand Stones.

However, Huang Zhong is not Liu Biao's confidant, which is an indisputable fact. Huang Zhong finally assisted Liu Biao from his nephew Liu Qing, but did not assist Liu Qi or Liu Cong. From this, it can be seen that Huang Zhong did not enter the core power circle.

The reason for this is somewhat related to Jiangxia Huangzu.

The Huang family in Jingzhou is divided into two branches, one is the Huang family in Jiangxia, with Huang Zu as the head of the family, and the other is the Huang family in Nanyang, with the famous scholar Huang Chengyan as the head of the family.

Huang Zhong was an important figure in the Huang family in Nanyang. Since the Cao army had captured Nanyang County, Huang Chengyan moved his family to Jingzhou and became one of the famous families in Jingzhou.

Although they are both Huang clans, the two Huang clan families are not harmonious and are in a state of secret competition. Huang Zu has the upper hand in the dispute between Jiangxia and Huang clan with his deep personal relationship with Liu Biao. In addition, the Huang clan in Nanyang belongs to an alien family, so Liu Biao has more or less a non-local rejection of Huang Zhong.

However, with his lofty prestige in the army, Huang Zhong did not dare to underestimate him. He also became one of the six generals of Jingzhou. Huang Zu, Pin, Wang Wei, Huang Zhong, Wu Ju, Zhang Yun and Huang Zhong were in charge of the 10,000 troops in the Nandaying of Xiangyang.

"I originally planned to let Zhigong teach the young martial arts practitioners, but I felt it was inappropriate. On the one hand, Zhigong was his boss, so it was inconvenient to teach him. More importantly, he was unwilling to follow Zhigong's martial arts practitioners. Last time I asked him, I felt that he respected you very much. I wonder if General Huang was willing to teach me this bad nephew."

The Zhigong Liu Biao mentioned here is Wang Wei. Yesterday, Wang Wei wrote a letter to Liu Biao, praising Liu Jing's performance this month, praising him for his natural command ability, and hopes that Liu Biao can cultivate Liu Jing and become the pillar of Jingzhou.

It is not easy to get Wang Wei's praise. In addition, Wang Wei is Liu Biao's most trusted confidant, and his suggestions are more convincing than Liu Bei's persuasion.

Liu Biao thought about it all night, and he really needed to train his nephews to let them guard the world. He particularly valued Liu Jing.

So early this morning, Liu Biao invited Huang Zhong, hoping that he could teach Liu Jing to practice martial arts.

In fact, when Liu Jing defeated Cai Jin a few months ago, Huang Zhong had the idea of ​​accepting Liu Jing as his disciple. Liu Jing's calmness in the last sword left a deep impression on him. This was the first time he had seen such a calm young man.

However, later Huang Zhong learned that Liu Jing was with Zhao Yunwu, so he gave up the idea of ​​accepting Liu Jing as his disciple. He would not take away the love of others. This is his consistent principle of being a human being.

This time, when Liu Biao asked him to teach Liu Jingwu, Huang Zhong was also embarrassed. Although he knew that Liu Jing did not take Zhao Yun as his teacher, it was still unrealistic to make Liu Jing turn to his subordinates. After all, this was not Liu Jing's own wish.

In fact, there is another reason that Huang Zhong hesitated, that is, Liu Jing was seventeen years old and was already an adult, and could no longer build foundations and transform his muscles and bones. In this way, how could he get his own Dragon Breaking Sword Technique?

However, Liu Biao's request made him unable to refuse, Huang Zhong could only bow and hold his fist and said, "The lord has an order. How dare the general dare not obey? As long as Mr. Jing is willing, the general can teach him at any time."

"I feel relieved with you."

"Then I will sue my leave first, and Duke Jing can come to me at any time."

Liu Biao had already sent someone to find Liu Jing, and he didn't know when he would come, so he didn't try to keep Huang Zhong and nodded, "You go first and I'll talk to him."

Huang Zhong bowed and slowly retreated, leaving only Liu Biao in the room.

Liu Biao walked to the window with his hands behind his back, his eyebrows solemnly unshakable. Last month, something happened in Jingzhou. Xiangyang Arsenal counted weapons and found that one thousand crossbows and five thousand knives were missing.

Just when he was furious to track down the whereabouts of the weapons, the arrested Warden died strangely in prison. As soon as this key figure died, the weapon was lost, and the line was broken.

This major case was left unresolved due to the invasion of Cao's army, but it sounded a wake-up call in Liu Biao's heart. He knew that this matter must be related to several major aristocratic families, which were nominally loyal to him, but in fact they were secretly cultivating power.

Although he promised to marry the Kuai family yesterday, it did not mean that he trusted the Kuai family. Marriage was just a political means to tie the aristocratic family to him Liu Biao.

The strength of the aristocratic family and the secret development of power made Liu Biao deeply realize that outsiders were not reliable, and only the family brothers were the firm defenders of the Liu family in Jingzhou.

He began to pay unprecedented attention to his family's younger brother. In addition to his younger brother Liu Shou Lingling County, he also planned to let his nephew Liu Qing take charge of Changsha County, but he lacked abilities and no qualifications, so Liu Biao temporarily appointed Liu Qing as the governor of Changsha County.

Another one is Liu Jing, who was also his nephew who had great hope. Especially in this Xinye Battle, Liu Jing's performance made him admire him. He had decided to train this excellent Liu family brother.
