<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="4" > Liu Biao's fourth major event - Sun Jian gave a good opportunity</h1>
In the previous issue, it was mentioned that in response to the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Han Ling Emperor dismissed the party, and Liu Biao, who had been pardoned, was summoned to the palace by the general He Jin.
The history books record that Liu Biao was "more than eight feet long and had a very great posture", and was a handsome man with a tall horse and a dignified appearance, so He Jin made him a lieutenant in the Northern Army and took charge of the forbidden army of the fifth battalion of the Northern Army. Therefore, in detail, Liu Biao's official entry into the career is actually a military attaché, which may not be thought of by many people. According to relevant research data, the strength of the fifth battalion is about 4,000 people, so Liu Biao's official position is not high, but his power is very heavy. Perhaps it was this experience in the army that added a lot of valuable experience to his later entry into Jingzhou.
In the first year of Chuping (190), with He Jin and the eunuchs ending up in the Rebellion of the Ten Constant Attendants, after a series of storms after Dong Zhuo took power, various princes formed a Kwantung alliance to raise an army to fight Dong.
Liu Biao's opportunity to enter Jingzhou should be thanked to Sun Jian. In Sun Jian's chapter, the author told how this Changsha Taishou killed Wang Rui of Jingzhou and The Taishou of Nanyang, and finally defected to the rear general Yuan Shu. In fact, Sun Jian gave Yuan Shu a letter of surrender, handing over control of Nanyang County and Jingzhou to Yuan Shu. But we all know that Yuan Shu did not actually control the rest of Jingzhou except for Nanyang County. Because he was cut off by Liu Biao.
After Sun Jian killed Wang Rui of Jingzhou, the imperial court controlled by Dong Zhuo appointed Liu Biao as the Assassin of Jingzhou, of course, it can be directly said that Liu Biao's Assassination History was given by Dong Zhuo. This was nothing, because the anti-Dong alliance's Jizhou Mu Hanfu, Yanzhou Assassin Shi Liu Dai, Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Ling, and so on were all appointed by Dong Zhuo, even including Yuan Shao's Position of Bohai Taishou. After these people arrived at the post, they did not save dong Zhuo any face and quickly held high the banner of anti-Dong Zhuo, and they would not have any ideological and moral baggage, nor would they be criticized by the public opinion at that time.
However, Liu Biao was slightly embarrassed, because the princes mentioned above had formed a coalition army to discuss Dong, and one of the core forces, Yuan Shu, had already regarded Jingzhou as his own territory, at this time Liu Biao, who was alone, went to Jingzhou, and if he joined the anti-Dong alliance, he would inevitably rely on Yuan Shu, and Liu Biao, who had no foundation, would be reduced to a mascot, and if he was not careful, he would be killed, and Sun Jian should be very experienced in this. Therefore, Liu Biao could only start another stove to avoid Yuan Shu, exalting the legitimacy of his imperial court's appointment of assassins, and competing for Jingzhou under this banner. In this way, Liu Biao had to distance himself from the Kwantung Alliance.
The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms and the Biography of Liu Biao contains: Emperor Ling, Dai Wang Rui as the Assassin of Jingzhou. It was when the Shandong army rose up, and the table also joined the army in Xiangyang.
This sentence is more confusing, and on the surface it seems that it is because the Kwantung Coalition Army started an army, so Liu Biao also raised an army in Xiangyang to echo the coalition army. In fact, this is not the case at all, Liu Biao is indeed a soldier, but there is no half-cent relationship with the Kwantung Coalition Army. What the hell is going on, look down.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="40" > Liu Biao's fifth major event - a horse into Jingzhou</h1>
As a native of Yanzhou, Liu Biao spent more than ten years fleeing to life due to the disaster of the party in his youth, and later rose to the capital as a lieutenant in the Northern Army, which was completely incompatible with Jingzhou. Moreover, Jingzhou already has two strongmen, Yuan Shu and Sun Jian, and Liu Biao cannot flaunt the scenery of the city to take office.
The "Later Han Shu Liu Biao Lie Biography" says: When the Jiangnan Emperor Thief Dasheng, and Yuan Shu blocked the army tun Luyang, the table could not be obtained, but a single horse entered Yicheng, and asked the Nan Commandery people Pu Yue and the Xiangyang people Cai Mao to conspire with them.
Tangtang thorn history can only be one person and one ride, bypassing Nanyang County to Come to Nan County Yicheng, it is also thrilling enough, in case the halfway is caught by Yuan Shu, it is basically a direct click of life, after all, the previous assassin Shi has killed, do not care about killing one more.
Born in a chaotic world, the powerful will have different path choices because of different interests. While Yuan Shu focused his attention on Dong Zhuo, Liu Biao was quietly plotting with the Nan County clans of Ku Yue, Qu Liang, and Cai Mao in Yicheng. Liu Biao can get the support of the local clan in Nan County, of course, because of the interests rather than the great righteousness, about this point later, let's first see what kind of plans Liu Biao has made when they get together.
At that time, there was Yuan Shu in the north of Jingzhou, and in the south, there was a Wu person Su Dai who led Changsha Taishou, and even within the Southern County, there were Huarong County Governor Bei Yu who used his troops to respect himself. Considering that Sun Jian was the former Taishou of Changsha, then this Wu person Su Dai should be Sun Jian's subordinate who stayed in the rear and also belonged to Yuan Shu's camp. There are clan thieves outside Yuan Shu and there are hostile forces everywhere, Liu Biao wants to recruit troops to protect himself first, but he is afraid that no one will respond, what should he do?
"The reason the people did not come to the subordination was because there was a lack of benevolence, and the reason why the people came to the subordination and could not prosper was because of the lack of morality." If you can practice benevolence and righteousness, the people will continue to cling to it like a gushing river, and then do you still need to worry about no one to attach to, no soldiers to use? ”
Liu Biao asked Qu Yue again. Ku Yue replied, "In peacetime, benevolence and righteousness should come first, but now it is a chaotic world, and a chaotic world should focus on power and scheming." There are not many soldiers, but they are winning the hearts and minds of the people. Yuan Shu was brave and unscrupulous, Su Dai and Bei Yu were a warrior, and there was nothing to worry about. As for the thieves, most of the leaders were greedy and cruel, and they were regarded as a scourge everywhere. Let me send out my men to tell these chiefs what is at stake, and they will surely lead the crowd to their side. Then you pick one or two most heinous bandits from within and put them to death, and the others are appeased and appointed. In this way, the whole people of Jingzhou will come and run because of your kindness. At that time, you will have a source of soldiers, south of Jiangling, north of Xiangyang, Jingzhou can be passed on. Even if Yuan Shu in the north called over, we would not be afraid of him. ”
Sima Biao's "Strategy" contains: "The words of Zi Rou, the theory of Yong Ji." The scheme of heterogeneity, the conspiracy of the offender. ”
The theory of Yongji and the conspiracy of usury are allusions to the Spring and Autumn period, which probably means that Yongji's proposition focuses on long-term interests, and the plan of the molester is to solve the current problem as soon as possible. This evaluation shows Liu Biao's celebrity style and high emotional intelligence, citing the scriptures to give high praise to the Ku brothers, although the specific method is still to be done according to Ku Yue, but also praises Ku Liang's long-term vision. This long-sleeved good dance balances the way of dealing with all parties, and it is also an important factor for Liu Biao to be able to sit firmly in the position of Jingzhou Thorn History without any foundation.

The strategy is set, and the time is not waiting. Liu Biao asked Ku Yue to send a doorman to recruit thieves from all over the world, and there were fifty-five people who came. As for what the thief really is, here's a few more words. Historians have two views, one is the literal meaning of the clan thief, which is the product of the clan power, and the local armed forces produced by blood relations as a link. The other is that the Zongzi tong "賨" refers to the barbarian forces scattered in the south at that time, as well as the Han people who entered the mountain life for various reasons to "barbarianize". Personally, I prefer the latter. Because the clan thieves are not found in the Central Plains, but in Jiangnan, only the concept of clan cannot explain this. However, this has little to do with the topic of the article, so I will not talk about it.
Liu Biao beheaded all fifty-five sect leader leaders and annexed all the troops. Here it can be seen that Liu Biao is not just a sit-and-talk talker like many people have the impression, on the contrary, he is also quite fierce when he should make a decisive shot. At the beginning, Ku Yue only suggested that Liu Biao get rid of the first evil, but Liu Biao directly put a pot, which shows that those who can dominate one side in the chaotic world are not good. Moreover, Liu Biao's practice also indirectly confirms the author's view on the concept of zong thieves, that is, zong thieves are not clan armed, but barbarian or barbarian Han armed. Because if it is a clan armed force, Liu Biao does not dare to kill the ring, it is bound to offend a large number of local people, and Liu Biao is most afraid of this. Liu Biao's use of tough means to suppress the barbarians was precisely able to appease the locals and win support.
Nan Commandery was basically leveled, leaving only the Jiangxia thieves Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng to defend Xiangyang, and Liu Biao sent Two people, Qu Yue and Pang Ji, to persuade them to surrender, and the thieves surrendered Kaesong in fear. The remaining counties heard of Liu Biao's methods, surrendered, resigned, and the whole of Jingzhou obeyed Liu Biao's orders from then on, except for Nanyang County.

In this way, Liu Biao took Xiangyang as his seat of government, and the so-called "Xiangyang of the Combined Army" came from this way, which had nothing to do with responding to the Kwantung Coalition Army.
Yuan Shu of Nanyang originally did not take Liu Biao in his eyes, and Liu Biao also made Yuan Shu the Taishou of Nanyang, acknowledging that Nanyang was Yuan Shu's territory, so the two sides did not immediately break out into conflict. However, the geographical relationship between the two sides determined that it was impossible to maintain peace for a long time, and Yuan Shao was the leader of the coalition army, so Liu Biao secretly allied with Yuan Shao and introduced him as foreign aid. In essence, Liu Biao bet on both sides between Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao, whether there is Yuan Shu or not, but making good friends with Yuan Shao is bound to aggravate the contradiction with Yuan Shu.
Later, Sun Jian, who had originally attacked Dong Zhuo, returned to rescue Yuzhou, which had been attacked by Yuan Shao, and withdrew, and Yuan Shu simply did not fight Dong Zhuo instead of Liu Biao.
In April of the third year of Chuping (192), Yuan Shu sent Sun Jian to lead troops south to attack Liu Biao. Liu Biao sent Huang Zu to fight in the area of Fancheng and Deng County, but was defeated by Sun Jian. Sun Jian crossed the Han River to besiege Xiangyang, and Liu Biao's situation was extremely critical. However, Sun Jian rode alone to the mountain to investigate the terrain, and was found by Huang Zu's soldiers and shot.
As soon as Sun Jian died, the situation was reversed in an instant, and Yuan Shu lost his most powerful general and could not cross the Han River again, and from then on turned his strategic direction to Cao Cao in Yanzhou.
In September of the third year of Chuping (192), Li Daijin, who had actually controlled the Chang'an imperial court, was a general and a lieutenant of the lingsi. Li Dai and Guo Feng sent emissaries to the Kwantung in the name of the imperial court, hoping to ease relations with various princes. After all, Dong Zhuo is dead, and there is no point in asking for Dong's banner. Liu Biao was not among the princes of the Kwantung And never said that he would not recognize the Chang'an court, so Liu Biao quickly sent emissaries to Chang'an to pay tribute. Li Dai was originally only a general under Dong Zhuo's account, and suddenly controlling the imperial court was actually bottomless, so he took the initiative to send emissaries to various places to show his goodwill. Li Dai was also very happy to get a positive response from Liu Biao, and made Liu Biao the general of Zhennan and Jingzhou Mu, and was made the Marquis of Wu, falsely festival, and regarded Liu Biao as his ally.
How smooth Liu Biao's handling is, as long as he does not come to fight, Yuan Shu can be on the table Nanyang Taishou, anyway, it is a false name to give. As for Yuan Shao, Liu Biao was also actively making friends, and no one in the imperial court, whether it was Dong Zhuo or Wang Yun or Li Dai, did not oppose it. Liu Biao's attitude of seemingly supporting everyone and actually having no position at all did indeed lay a good external environment for him to govern Jingzhou in the early stage.
Because of its geographical advantages and Liu Biao's diplomatic efforts, Jingzhou has become a refuge for both the common people and the soldiers, providing Liu Biao with a strong labor force, military resources, and talent reserves. As for what Liu Biao will do after becoming Jingzhou Mu, we will continue to talk about it in the next issue. Interested partners, please like and pay attention, thank you for your support!
