"Oh?" Liu Biao asked, "I wonder who it is?"

Han Xuan said: "Cao Cao of Qiao County!"

"Ah?" Liu Biao was shocked when he heard this, "Cao Cao!"

A group of Jing Xiang civil and military officials in the hall also asked one after another: "Didn't Cao Cao die in Xuchang?"

Han Xuan said: "My dear lords, Cao Cao actually did not die in Xuchang. He is now stationing troops at the junction of Nanyang, Yingchuan and Runan counties. A small county town called the ancient city! Although Cao Cao was defeated by Xuchang, he still had eight thousand elite soldiers under his command. Cheng Yu, Liu Ye, and Jia Kui are all famous scholars today. The martial arts include Zhang Liao, Zhang He, and Tibetan Ba ​​are all enemies of thousands of people, and there are also Cao Hong, Cao Zhen, and Cao Xiu, who are full of talents. If the lord can recruit him and use him to defend Xinye, it is enough to resist the Liang army's troops."

"Nonsense!" As soon as Han Xuan finished speaking, Liu Biao immediately stepped out and scolded, "Cao Cao was once the prime minister of Han. If he welcomed him to Jingzhou, where would he place his lord?"

Han Xuan said: "All the kings under the world are kings, and all the kings and ministers are kings. Since we are all ministers of the Han Dynasty, we are determined to support the Han Dynasty and eliminate treacherous slandering as our responsibility, why should we care about the position and the severity of power? Although Cao Cao was once the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, he was a hero of the world. He should understand the truth. How could he compete with his lord to be the lord of Jingzhou?"

Liu Biao's expression was gloomy and sunny. No one knew what he was thinking. After a while, he turned his head and asked Cai Mao, "What do you think?"

Cai Mao hurriedly said: "It is not enough to resist the butcher without Cao Cao."

Liu Biao asked Huang Zu again: "What do Yuanyang think?"

Huang Zu also said: "It is not enough to resist the butcher without Cao Cao."

Liu Biao finally asked Wang Wei: "What does Yuanwu think?"

Wang Wei said again: "It is not enough to resist the butcher without Cao Cao."

Since Cai Mao, Huang Zu and Wang Wei have already expressed their opinions, it is equivalent to the agreement between the Cai, Huang and Wang families among the four major clans of Jingxiang. The attitudes of these three families actually represent the attitude of the entire Jingxiang gentry. Since Liu Biao became the governor of Jingzhou, although the Liu family has risen rapidly and has become the leader among the four major clans of Jingxiang, in fact, the foundation is not deep and it is difficult to compare with the other three families. At the critical moment, it is not yet capable of decisive.

After a while of silence, Liu Biao suddenly said, "This is the end of today, and we will discuss this matter again."

After saying that, Liu Biao left without paying attention to everyone, and everyone was very bored and left one after another.

It was late at night, Lumen Mountain.

In an ordinary thatched hut, Liu Biao bowed respectfully to an old man and said, "Duke Pang De, Gu really encountered a problem this time, so I'm here to ask for advice."

Pang De Gongsu signaled Liu Biao to the table, and asked the boy to serve Qing tea. Then he smiled and said, "I wonder what the problem is Liu Jingzhou?"

Liu Biao said: "Since Dong Zhuo's rebellion in the capital, all heroes have emerged, and many princes have emerged. Now all heroes have been destroyed. Only the lonely ones are: Sun Jian from Jiangdong, Liu Zhang from Xichuan, and Yuan Shao from Hebei are still alive. Horses in the northwest are gradually sweeping the world! In order to protect themselves, the Jingxiang gentry recommended Cao Cao as the prefect of Xinye to resist the army. Pang Degong thought this was appropriate?"

Pang Degong refused to answer and asked Liu Biao: "Does Liu Jingzhou recognize the wolf?"

Liu Biao said: "Of course I can recognize it."

Pang De said justice: "However, can you recognize the habits of wolves?"

Liu Biao shook his head and said, "I don't know very well."

Pang De said justice: "Wolves like to live in groups. Every wolf pack has a head wolf king. All the female wolf in the wolf pack are the spouses of the wolf king, and the other male wolf does not have the right to mating! After the old wolf king ages, the strongest young male wolf in the wolf pack or outside the wolf pack will challenge it. If the old wolf king is defeated, the new wolf king will take over the wolf pack. At this time, all the female wolf in the wolf pack will no longer be nostalgic for the defeated old wolf king, but will happily throw themselves into the arms of the new wolf king! Why is this? Because only the new wolf king can provide them with protection, and only the new wolf king can keep this wolf pack alive and vibrant, so that the entire wolf pack can survive!"

Liu Biao was speechless.

After a while, Mr. Pang De asked, "Now, does Liu Jingzhou understand?"

"I understand." Liu Biao said sadly, "I am the old wolf king, Cao Cao is the new wolf king, and the aristocrats in Jingxiang are the female wolf in the wolf pack!"

Pang Degong said again: "Does Liu Jingzhou know what to do?"

Liu Biao shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Pang De said justice: "The people are suffering, the people are suffering, the people are suffering, and the people are suffering. I hope Liu Jingzhou can think of the people of Jingxiang as the thoughts."

Liu Biao said in confusion: "What does Pang Degong mean? Can it be made explicit?"

"It's getting late." Pang Degong did not explain, but suddenly stood up and said, "I won't leave any guests. Liu Jingzhou please take care of yourself."

Liu Biao had no choice but to bow to Pang Degong and then turned around and left the hut.

After Liu Biao left the hut, Pang Degong looked at the dim night sky and sighed quietly, shook his head and said, "The chaos in Jingzhou is about to begin. I wonder how much suffering the people of Jingzhou will suffer?"

Xiangyang, Han Xuan’s official residence.

Han Xuan had just returned to the mansion, and Liu Ye arrived and asked Han Xuan: "Sir Han Xuan, how is the progress of things?"

Han Xuan said: "Mr. Liu Ye, I have already said everything I should say. As for success or failure, it is not something I can control. As the saying goes, planning is up to people and success is in heaven. Mr. should wait for news here patiently."

Liu Ye said anxiously: "I can wait too much, but the people of Jingzhou can't wait."

Han Xuan smiled and said, "Look at it, the Prime Minister can't wait, right?"

Liu Ye said: "The Prime Minister considers the people of Jingzhou as his thoughts, so he is naturally anxious."

"There is no need to say these scenes. Since I have taken the benefits of Prime Minister Cao, I will naturally do my best to do my best to do my job for him." Han Xuan said this, and attached himself to Liu Ye's ear and said softly, "It's true that Cai, Huang and Wang from the four major families of Jingxiang all intend to accept the Prime Minister. According to my opinion, it is imperative that the Prime Minister guarding Xinye is inevitable. Even if Liu Biao is unwilling, it will be difficult to stop it! As for how things will evolve next, it depends on the fortune of the Prime Minister."
