Chapter 591: The Heart of Jingzhou

Liu Zhang could only suppress the surprise for the time being, he wanted to confirm whether Huo Jun really wanted to work.

There are too few people like Huo Jun who leave the family to serve in other forces.

As far as Liu Zhang knew, Huo Du was a short-lived person, and Liu Biao handed over his trilogy to Huo Jun after Huo Du's death.

It can be seen that the Huo family's status in Jingzhou can better reflect Huo Jun's status in the Huo family.

Liu Zhang never believed that no one in the Huo family could inherit these trilogy, or that Liu Biao didn't want these trilogy.

After hearing Liu Zhang's question, Wei Yan was also taken aback.

He knew that Huo Jun's family background was prominent, but he didn't expect his elder brother to be under Liu Biao's command!

Now that Huo Jun's identity has been confirmed, he would be suspected of being a spy if he joined Liu Zhang's command.

Wei Yan never expected that his benefactor would drag him down in just a few words!

"My lord..."

It's a pity that Liu Zhang didn't give Wei Yan a chance to speak, so he directly interrupted him with his hand, and then fixed his eyes on Huo Jun.

Huo Jun didn't expect his identity to be exposed so quickly, but fortunately, he has a strong mental quality and is still calm.

"General Wei, the statement that my brother is under Liu Biao's command is really biased. In fact, as early as when Wang Rui was the governor of Jingzhou, my brother had already served in Nanjun."

"As for who my brother is under, my brother really can't make the decision. Whoever His Majesty sends to be the Jingzhou shepherd will naturally be my brother's boss."

Huo Jun's answer was very clever. He not only explained that Huo Du was a Hanchen, but also opened up the relationship with Liu Biao.

However, judging from Liu Zhang's silent attitude, Huo Jun knew that this was not enough to convince him.

"Now is a time of trouble, and troubled times are just a great time to make contributions! Huo Jun has read military books since he was a child, how can he sit at home and do nothing? I heard that General Wei has issued a recruitment order, and sincerely invites all talents from all over the world to help the Han Dynasty! Huo Jun is not talented, I don’t dare to be called a talent, but I also have the heart to help the Han Dynasty, so I came to Yizhou from afar!”

Huo Jun's words were enough to clearly express his intention, but Liu Zhang wanted to chat with him more.

"If you want to support the Han family, you don't necessarily have to be from Yizhou. Isn't Liu Biao from Jingzhou the same as the clan of the Han family?"

"Your elder brother is an official under Liu Biao. If he recommends you to Liu Biao, wouldn't he have a better chance to use it? Or do you think your talent is enough to impress me and make me use you more than Liu Biao?"

After Liu Zhang finished asking, he observed Huo Jun again, only to see that he chuckled lightly, and then there was a trace of disdain in his eyes.

"To be honest, I don't want to stay in Jingzhou to waste time. Although Liu Jingsheng and General Wei belong to the same clan of the Han family, they are far from General Wei! I will say bluntly, Liu Biao has no ambitions!"

Liu Zhang never imagined that Liu Biao had reached such a level in the hearts of the Jingzhou aristocrats that he would be so bad that a young man in his early twenties would show such a look.

"As one of the Eight Talents, Liu Biao's talent and knowledge are recognized by the world. A few years ago, Liu Biao sent 60,000 troops to attack Yizhou in two ways. He is not as bad as you said, is he?"

Hearing Liu Zhang's defense against Liu Biao, Huo Jun was even more dismissive.

"Liu Biao is weak and incompetent, and extremely stupid, but if he has a trace of blood, it will not make Jingzhou fall into such a split!"

"Split! When did Jingzhou split? Isn't Zhong Miao joking?"

The sudden news from Huo Jun's mouth really shocked Liu Zhang.

It is true that Liu Zhang looks down on Liu Biao, but he has never been slack about the situation in Jingzhou. Although it is not said that he knows the situation in Jingzhou well, he will definitely know about such a big split.

"This is already an undisclosed secret among the Jingzhou aristocratic family. It is normal for General Wei to know something. It all started five years ago!"

"After Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others failed to attack Yizhou in the past, Liu Biao and the Jingzhou family completely broke up in the handling of follow-up issues. Then under the control of Cai and Kuai, Jingnan Zhang Xian led Changsha, Wuling, Lingzhou, etc. Mausoleum, the four counties of Guiyang rebelled. The intention is also very obvious, completely making Liu Biao lose the authority of Jingzhou Mu.”

"I never thought that Liu Biao hid Wenpin's 10,000 troops in Jiangbei, and then Liu Pan took command and took Wenpin as his deputy to fight in Changsha. This was originally a battle without any suspense. With the intervention of Cai Mao and others, even if Zhang Xian If you don't do anything, Liu Pan will not be able to escape the end of being defeated!"

"But Zhang Xian refused to listen and insisted on leaving the city for a decisive battle, which gave Wenpin an opportunity. Zhang Xian died, and Liu Pan immediately divided the four counties. The plan of Cai Mao, Kuai Liang and others failed. Due to the power of the Jingnan family Weakness also gave Liu Biao an area under actual control in Jingzhou."

"If General Wei faced this situation, how would he choose to act?"

Unexpectedly, Huo Jun would come to test him, which made Liu Zhang stunned.

Huo Jun is a very capable person, since he intends to test, Liu Zhang naturally accepts it generously.

In fact, Liu Zhang knew what Huo Jun said a long time ago. It was all news a few years ago, but he didn't know about the split of Jingzhou.

"If I were Liu Biao, it would be impossible to launch a war against Yizhou, and it would be even more impossible to break with the Jingzhou family because of some petty interests. I will gradually increase my control without openly confronting the family as much as possible. .”

"If it really reaches the point you said, I will temporarily repair with the family, and then escape from Nanjun in the name of the Southern Tour, directly choose to take control of Changsha, and then rely on Xutu, the four Jingnan counties, to counterattack Jiangbei."

"It's true that the four southern counties are located in a remote area, but they still have a population of more than 1.5 million people. If we work hard, how can we not take down the small southern county?"

Since it is a troubled world, the best way to solve it is always fists, knives and guns. Just relying on negotiation is only getting weaker and weaker!

Liu Zhang's thinking is very clear, unless Cai Hao, Kuai Liang and others are defeated with real swords and guns, it will never be clear who is the master of Jingzhou.

"General Wei is worthy of being a hero in troubled times, he always has great ambitions!"

There was a hint of admiration in Huo Jun's eyes, and he was amazed by Liu Zhang's act of cutting off his wrist.

"If Liu Biao has half of General Wei, no, even a tenth of his courage, he won't stay in Xiangyang all day waiting to die!"

From Huo Jun's expression, Liu Zhang could see not only resentment, but also deep disappointment.

Perhaps it was because he could no longer see the future in Jingzhou, which made Huo Jun choose to abandon his family and business not far away!

"Then what's going on in Jingzhou at this moment?"

What Liu Zhang is most concerned about is the status quo of Jingzhou. Once it really splits, it will undoubtedly give Jiangdong Sun Ce an opportunity.

The two have the hatred of killing their father, and the latter is known as the little overlord. Liu Zhang absolutely does not believe that Sun Ce will let go of any fighter.
