The next morning, Wang Ting had Mi Jing prepare the things he needed to go out. He then had Mi Liang send someone to bring him to the Provincial Governor's Estate.
Before Wang Ting and Mi Jing arrived at the entrance of the Provincial Governor's Estate, they saw many people standing there. Guo Jia was among them. The person in the middle was about forty years old. He was more than eight feet tall, had a square face, thick eyebrows, and big eyes. He had a five-lock beard unique to the Han Dynasty. He looked like a kind person who made people feel at ease. In addition, Liu Biao was originally a relative of the Han royal family. He had been familiar with poetry and books since he was young, which made his majestic body reveal a sense of literary quality. He was really a good Confucian. He was worthy of being listed as one of the eight Gu. He was a good person, but unfortunately, he had the heart of a woman. In history, he had given up his territory to others and was destroyed by his brother-in-law, Cai Mao. Wang Ting thought to himself.
Seeing Liu Biao's importance, Wang Ting also quickly rushed forward. He cupped his fists and bowed,""How dare Zichang trouble the Jingzhou Great Pavilion to personally respond? Isn't Zichang afraid?”
Liu Biao stepped forward and held Wang Ting's hands with both hands.""I've long heard of Zichang's great name. The famous Jingzhou paper and the muddleheaded immortal wine of the Great Han were both made by Zichang. I was even more surprised to see the books that Zichang entrusted me with. I regret not being able to meet you sooner. If Zi Chang does not accept it, who in the world can accept it?”Wang Ting had planned to give him a big compliment, but he didn't expect him to take the initiative.
"The Jing state praises Zichang too much. Zichang also wished that he could come to the Jing state earlier, but he couldn't come because of the secular world. Now that he has seen the Jing state in person, it's even better than the rumors!”Wang Ting finally reluctantly returned the hat.
" Ha…" Liu Biao pulled Wang Ting's hand and led him into the Provincial Governor's Office.
After everyone was seated, Liu Biao smiled at Wang Ting and said,""Yesterday, after returning from Fengxiao, I knew that Zichang would definitely come today, so I waited for Zichang. Now, let Zichang introduce everyone!”After saying that, Liu Biao pointed at the middle-aged scholar sitting next to him and said,"This man is my best friend."This is Cai Mao, also known as De Gui…" Liu Biao introduced everyone in the living room that Wang Ting was not familiar with.
"Oh, so you're Cai Mao. We had a feud yesterday! Don't provoke this brother of yours. When the time comes, this brother of yours won't even know how you died.”Wang Ting didn't pay much attention to the others because he didn't have a big impression of them. It was only because he had a bad relationship with Cai Mao yesterday that he paid special attention to Cai Mao.
Cai Mao was about thirty years old, his cheeks were thin and long, and his physique was similar to his own. He was dressed like a scholar.
In fact, what Wang Ting didn't know was that among Liu Biao's strategists, Kuai Yue and his brother were the most talented. It was just that this kid didn't have any impression of them.
Everyone was actually looking at Prince Chang of the royal court. This person was more than seven feet tall, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. His eyes were especially spirited, and his nose bridge was straight. All the organs on this brother's body were really exquisite. Especially after Wang Ting practiced Kung Fu, his body was healthy and healthy. Everyone who saw him couldn't help but sigh in admiration. He was a peerless young master.
"Zichang, since you've already arrived at the residence and there's no one else here, why don't you let us hear your views on the Imperial Court?”Liu Biao said to Wang Ting with a smile.
This old fellow was testing him. Fortunately, he knew more about history than him. He had also learned about the current situation through Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, and the others. This question was simple for Wang Ting.
"Since the Jing Prefecture has said so, that brat will have made a fool of himself in front of all the high dukes.‘After the Emperor put down the rebellion and the struggle for party proscription, the Emperor had entrusted eunuchs with important tasks to balance the government. Now, the court was divided into three parts: relatives, eunuchs, and various powerful officials. Now the emperor does not look at the people, ears do not hear the world, the emperor does not have a Liu family beside the emperor, I am afraid there is danger to the royal family without family support.
Jingzhou was newly appointed after Wang Rui. The hearts of the prefectures and Jingzhou were not united. Moreover, there were riots everywhere. There were still Jiangxia thieves Zhang Sheng and Chen Hu occupying Xiangyang. Therefore, it was not easy to stabilize Jingzhou.”
Liu Ting couldn't be too straightforward. After all, most of the people in front of him were loyal to the Han Dynasty, especially since the Han Dynasty belonged to Liu Biao's family.
"Oh, from what Wang Zichang said, we can't do anything about Jing Zhou. Could it be that he can't do it with the help of my Cai family and Kuai family? Zichang is too sensational." Cai Mao said that he was introduced by Kuai Yue's brother Kuai Liang to help Liu Biao, so he naturally didn't want to hear that it was difficult for Wang Ting to completely control Jingzhou.
"No, Mister Cai misunderstood Zi Chang's words and needed an opportunity.”F * ck, aren't you looking for trouble? Can't you tell that stabilizing Jingzhou requires time and manpower?
Kuai Yue saw that Cai Mao's tone was somewhat unfriendly. He stood up and said to Wang Ting,""Young Master's words are reasonable. Can Young Master judge if this is feasible?”
Then Kuai Yue said to Wang Ting," I think Zichang's views on the court are very correct. However, looking at Jingzhou, I think that in times of peace, we must first rely on benevolence and righteousness to govern the country. We must first use power tactics to quell chaos. It is not the number of soldiers that counts, but the number of people that counts. Yuan Shu was brave and indecisive, while Su Dai and Bei Yu were boorish and not worth worrying about. The leader of the sect bandits was greedy and ruthless, and did not have the support of his subordinates. If the State of Yue has a person who has been trained and sent to show him the benefits, he will certainly come with many people. The king killed him for his heresy, appeased him, and appointed him. The people of the whole state are happy to live. When they hear that you are virtuous, they will come with their children. Gather the army to surrender, occupy Jiangling in the south and Xiangyang in the North. The eight prefectures of Jingzhou can be pacified by a call to arms. I wonder what Zichang thinks?"
In fact, Kuai Yue's intention was to find a way to tell all the leaders of the rebellion that he would give them benefits and trick them into coming. Then, he would kill all the violent and chaotic people in the village and appease their subordinates and other leaders. Everyone in Jingzhou wanted to live and work in peace and contentment. They naturally supported Liu Biao. When the army is strong and the people surrender, Jiangling in the south and Xiangyang in the north, the eight prefectures of Jingzhou can be pacified. Even if Yuan Shu and the other bandits came, what could they do?
Kuai Yue was a strategic talent. He had thoroughly combed through the chaotic situation in Jingzhou, found the main contradiction, and proposed a solution. Yuan Shu was an indecisive guy, so he couldn't succeed. Changsha prefect Su Dai, Huarong County ordered Bei Yu to support the army rebellion, they are just two poles of ordinary people. And the leaders of the sect bandits who had gathered together to cause trouble were not popular at all. They did not have the support of the masses, so the matter was not difficult to resolve.
F * ck, do I need you to say that? You're right, but I don't want Liu Biao's mind to be here. Otherwise, wouldn't I have to spend a lot of effort? What a cultured person.
Wang Ting stood up and bowed to Kuai Yue.""That's true. Zi Chang admires your wise opinion. But what you said was to observe things in the well!”
Kuai Yue saw Wang Ting bow to him and thought that he had been convinced. Who knew that Wang Ting would actually compare him to a frog in a well? This anger, kid, you're too ruthless when you scold people. You don't even use vulgarities when you scold people. When Guo Jia heard this, he secretly laughed at his young master. He didn't know how to be polite to others.
Wang Ting didn't care about this and continued,""As the saying goes, a tree is good for shade. Liu Jingzhou and my Great Han Dynasty were originally connected as one branch. Now that the roots have been invaded by insects, he doesn't think about dealing with them from the root.'If the tree doesn't exist, how can the bark survive?'"
Although Wang Ting was answering Kuai Yue's question, he was saying it to Liu Biao. He meant that his big tree had attracted insects. He didn't want to control the seeds but only wanted to look at the beauty of his leaves. When the tree fell, he would see what he could do. To put it bluntly, if the Han Dynasty was gone, who knew who would own Liu Biao's Jingzhou?
Wang Ting's words were spoken from the perspective of righteousness. Compared to Kuai Yue's consideration of how Liu Biao would occupy Jingzhou, it was much higher. What Wang Ting said was right, but Kuai Yue felt that what he said was also right, but he just couldn't find a reason to refute him. From what he said, it seemed like he was the loyal minister for thousands of years.
At this moment, Liu Biao truly acknowledged Wang Ting. Before this, he had only admired Wang Ting's literary talent and craftsman's talent. He hadn't expected Wang Ting's words to have such a high starting point. His words implied that only Liu Biao himself could save the Great Han, and that he could be a great hero. He just didn't know what method this young master had to return to the imperial court and obtain a high position.
"Ha, Zichang, I admire your opinion. I wonder if there's a solution?”Liu Biao finally asked the question he was concerned about.
"Thank you Jingzhou for your attention. Zichang has three strategies for you.”
"Then I'll have to trouble Zichang to tell us the details for our decision!”
"The worst plan is to take advantage of the fact that the Imperial Court has yet to fall into chaos. Jingzhou can rely on the wealth we already have to escape into the mountains. I believe that the wealth accumulated in Jingzhou is enough for my family to use for several generations. This plan can protect the family without worry!" If you want me to say it, I'll set a trap for you. Don't blame me. You begged me.
"The middle plan is to do as the Yidu Gong said. In a few days, we will hold Jingzhou and keep the chaos outside. No matter how the court changes, I will remain unmoved. Although there was a risk, it could still protect his wealth for a while.”
"Although the best plan is good, it is also a very dangerous plan. I wonder if the Duke of Jing State has the courage to plan it? If he succeeded, his name would shake the ages and leave his name for all eternity!”
"Tell me!" Liu Biao was also filled with blood by the generals of the royal court, as if his entire body was filled with the power to save the world.
"According to Duke of Yidu's plan, we will take Xiangyang and move the Provincial Governor's Office. Xiangyang is the closest to the Imperial Court, so we can observe it closely to prevent any accidents. Zi Chang was not willing to seize Wuling for Jingzhou. He could not occupy all the counties in the whole state at once, but he still had a foothold in Jingzhou. As for the matter of assisting Jingzhou in the court, it was a secret. Zichang wrote it on paper yesterday and asked Jingzhou to watch it. Zichang would definitely be able to let Jingzhou return to the high position of the court within one or two years.”After Wang Ting finished speaking, he took out a piece of paper that he had prepared yesterday and handed it to Liu Biao.
In fact, there was nothing much on the paper. It was just that Wang Ting said that he was familiar with astrology and knew that a miracle had recently descended from the sky to the Emperor. The higher-ups would say that only Liu Biao could become the Great General to quell the chaos of the Great Han Dynasty. As for money, He Jin, eunuchs, and the like were all settled by him. In any case, as long as you, Liu Biao, are tricked away, Jing Zhou will become my territory.
Liu Biao took Wang Ting's paper and looked at it for a long time without saying anything. Combined with the best plan that Wang Ting had just said, he thought that he had not lost anything. At most, he would still be the same. Moreover, Wang Ting's best plan was to combine Kuai Yue's words, but on this basis, he would gain a greater official position and credit.
If he did it, there would be no harm in it. Only a fool would not do it.
"Good, Zichang's plan is a great one. Zichang is really a confidant of Biao. Men, come and see if the meal is ready.”
