Chapter 252

After hearing Han Song's words, Zhao Qian nodded and said, "If that's the case, it would be great. I will play the Son of Heaven and add Liu Jingsheng as Zhennan General and Xiangyang Marquis."

Liu Biao had already been conferred a title as Marquis of Chengwu, but he was only a county lord, while the Marquis of Xiangyang was a county lord, and his title was even better.

Moreover, this time he was named General Zhennan, and Zhao Qian's attitude towards wooing Liu Biao was very clear.

Han Song quickly stood up, bowed deeply to Zhao Qian, and said, "On behalf of my lord, thank you, General!"

Zhao Qian laughed, and said: "De Gao came from a long way, and it was quite hard work. I will also play the role of the emperor, and make you a servant and lead the Nanyang prefect."

Han Song was taken aback, and quickly thanked him again: "I don't have any merit in my lower body, how can I be worthy of the post of prefect?"

"De Gao is a well-known scholar in Jingxiang, how can he not be worthy of it? There is no need to be too modest." Zhao Qian said with a smile.

Han Song's expression was a little unnatural, and he hesitated to speak, which fell into Zhao Qian's eyes. Zhao Qian asked, "What worries does Degao have?"

After hesitating for a moment, Han Song said coyly, "Has the general forgotten that Ma Teng's Xiliang army is stationed in Nanxiang City at this moment, how can I go to Nanyang to take up the post?"

When Zhao Qian heard this, he laughed loudly and said, "Don't worry about virtue, I have already sent someone to inform General Zhenxi to withdraw his troops."

"Oh?"

Although Nanyang is in Jingzhou, it was first occupied by Yuan Shu and then destroyed by Cao Cao. Now that Ma Teng is occupying it, Zhao Qian's move is tantamount to handing over Nanyang. Han Song doesn't understand this.

However, it would be great if he could help his lord Liu Biao to bring Nanyang over without a single soldier.

Zhao Qian said again: "De Gao, I have something that I need Liu Jingsheng to help. I hope you will tell me for me when you go back."

"What's the matter with the general? Just say it, and I will definitely bring it to you." Han Song said.

Zhao Qian nodded and said: "Yuan Shu occupied Nanyang before, but now he is sitting in Huaiyang. If he refuses to obey the king's order, it will be a serious disaster. I hope Liu Jingsheng can share the worries of the emperor and restrain Yuan Shu."

"Don't worry, General. Yuan Shu occupied Nanyang before and was an enemy of our Jingzhou. Now that he is in Huaiyang, it is a big problem for Jingzhou. My lord will definitely pay more attention to it." Han Song said.

"It's so kind, if Degao has no other problems, then go back to the post to rest." Zhao Qian said with a smile, "Jicai, Degao is in Jinyang these few days, and you will be in charge of entertaining him. There must be no mistakes."

Yang Jun stood up from the table, bowed and said, "No!"

So Han Song stayed in Jinyang for a few days under the hospitality of Yang Jun, and after learning about all aspects of Jinyang, he set off to return to Jingzhou to reply to Liu Biao.

"Degao, what can you gain from your trip to Jinyang?" Liu Biao asked.

Han Song bowed and said, "The Son of Heaven granted the Lord the title of General of Zhennan, Marquis of Xiangyang. I hope that the Lord will guard Jingxiang and live up to the name of the clan of the Han family."

Liu Biao snorted softly, but did not speak, but Cai Mao took a step forward and said, "Congratulations, my lord, for being granted the title of General Zhennan!"

"Yes." Liu Biao nodded, "This is because His Majesty trusts me, and you may try your best."

"promise!"

Han Song continued: "In addition, the general ordered Ma Teng to withdraw from Nanxiang and return Nanyang to Jingzhou."

"Is that true?" Liu Biao asked.

Han Song nodded, and Kuai Yue smiled and said, "Congratulations, my lord, for regaining Nanyang. Ever since Yuan Shu took over Nanyang, it has finally returned to Jingzhou territory."

After Liu Biao was happy, he frowned and asked, "Then what are the conditions for Zhao Qian to return Nanyang to Jingzhou?"

Han Song nodded, and said: "The general seems to be very afraid of Yuan Shu, who is currently sitting in Huaiyang, and wants the lord to hold back Jingzhou, and join hands to conquer together if necessary."

Liu Biao sneered, and said, "I knew that there is no such cheap thing, but to deal with Yuan Shu, that's what I wanted. From this point of view, there is nothing to lose."

Kuai Yue nodded and said, "I heard that Yuan Shu sent Liu Bei to attack Lujiang recently. After several months, he finally conquered it. Yuan Shu is extremely powerful."

"Yuan Shu's growth is indeed a threat to our Jingzhou. In addition, because of Nanyang's incident, I had a grudge with my Jingzhou. My lord has to guard against it." Kuai Liang also said.

Liu Biao nodded and said, "What Yidu and Zirou said is reasonable. Now that Yuan Shu has captured Lujiang, the next step is probably to direct the troops to Jingzhou."

"My lord, don't worry, now Jiangxia is guarded by Huang Zu, who can spy on Jiangdong and guard against Huaiyang, killing two birds with one stone." Kuai Yue said.

Liu Biao frowned, nodded, and said, "Jiang Xia only has Huang Zu alone, so I'm afraid it won't be complete. Degui, do you have a suitable general? I can recommend one."

Cai Mao didn't expect that Liu Biao would ask him for someone suddenly. He frowned and thought for a long time. His two younger brothers had already died in battle. Otherwise, he would definitely recommend Cai He or Cai Zhong at this time.

"I remember that there is a general in Degui's tent, named Wang Wei, who is always cautious, so you can send him there." Cai Mao didn't speak, but Zhang Yun spoke.

After hearing Zhang Yun's suggestion, Cai Mao relaxed his brows and said, "If Wen Nuo hadn't reminded me, I would have almost forgotten that Wang Wei is indeed a very good candidate."

"Who is Wang Wei?" Liu Biao asked.

Cai Mao stepped forward and replied, "Wang Wei is Mao's subordinate. This man is very loyal and can be regarded as a confidant."

Liu Biao nodded and said, "Okay! Since it is strongly recommended by De Gui, then I will order Wang Wei to lead five thousand troops to Xinyang City in Jiangxia County, and guard Jiangxia with Huang Zu in the south and north."

"No! I will notify Wang Wei later." Cai Mao responded quickly.

Liu Biao nodded, and suddenly saw Han Song again, and asked with a smile, "De Gao, is there anything else?"

Han Song clasped his hands again and said, "There is indeed one more thing. Your Majesty appointed me as a servant and led the Nanyang prefect."

Liu Biao's expression changed when he heard this, and he smiled and said, "The Son of Heaven really likes Degao, but my governance of Jingzhou depends entirely on Degao's plan, so this Nanyang prefect should not take up the post, I will choose someone else."

Han Song was taken aback, and said, "This is His Majesty's will. If you don't obey, I'm afraid it's wrong?"

"Your Majesty's will? From my point of view, this is Zhao Qian's intention, right?" Liu Biao sneered, "I never thought that after Degao's trip to Jinyang, he would betray me and join Zhao Qian! Come on, drag it down, cut!"

Han Song was taken aback. He didn't expect that the usually gentle and elegant lord would turn his face so quickly, and quickly shouted: "My lord will lose to Song, and Feisong will lose to my lord!"

Don't drive Liu to take a look first, and hurried out of the class and said: "My lord, when De Gao was about to leave, he had something to say first. If you kill De Gao at this time, wouldn't it mean that the lord has no faith?"

Kuai Liangsu had a good relationship with Han Song, and quickly persuaded him: "De Gao has always been open-minded, and he is quite famous in the land of Jingxiang. If he is killed now, I am afraid he will be disappointed."

After listening to Kuai Liang and Liu Xian's persuasion, Liu Biao's anger subsided a little, so he ordered Han Song to be taken into custody, but he was not beheaded.
