Dong Cheng, who was in Xudu, didn't know that Liu Biao, who he had high hopes for, was now in the quagmire of the Battle of Changsha. It stands to reason that with Liu Biao's strength of thousands of miles, it is not a problem to deal with a small Changsha city. But more than half a year has passed since the war with Zhang Xian, the Taishou of Changsha, and even Cao Cao of Jizhou has captured Yecheng, but Liu Biaobu has always taken Changsha City. The long confrontation and stalemate made Jiangxia County a supply base for Liu Biao's department. For a time, thousands of sails gathered in the port of Jiangxia, hundreds of boats competed for the current, and a fleet of ships traveled south from Xiangyang all the way through the Han water source to continuously deliver supplies to Liu Biaobu besieging Changsha through this place.

Liu Qi, who was the Taishou of Jiangxia at the time, sat on a tall building, twisting the chess pieces in his hand and staring silently, but what he was thinking about was neither the fight on the chessboard nor the current battle situation in Changsha. In fact, what is besetting Liu Dagongzi at the moment is a rumor that has been circulating in Jingzhou these days. It is said that since Liu Qi went to the house to draw the ladder from Zhuge Liang's mouth on the day of the fight, he hurriedly ran to his father Liu Biao to ask himself to be the Jiangxia Taishou. Xu is Liu Biao, who has the meaning of training Liu Qi, or maybe it is the pillow wind blown by Mrs. Cai. In short, Liu Biao agreed to Liu Qi's request. But after arriving in Jiangxia, he didn't wait for Liu Qi to follow the second step of Zhuge Liang's teaching to win over Liu Bei. There were rumors in Xiangyang that Liu Qi secretly colluded with Liu Bei, intending to use Liu Bei's power to seize Jingzhou. This rumor can be regarded as scaring Liu Qi a lot. Not only did he not dare to contact Liu Bei anymore, but he also had a headache about how to explain it to his father. After all, if this kind of thing is not handled well, it will become more and more black.

Zhuge Liang, who was sitting opposite Liu Qi and playing against him, saw Liu Qi looking absent-minded. He reminded him, "Young Master Qi, you should also." ”

"Ahh Liu Qi, who came back to his senses, shook his hand and dropped a son indiscriminately. Zhuge Liang quietly flew the seed, and then ate a large piece of the sunspot held by Liu Qi. Seeing this situation, Liu Qi, who knew that he was bound to lose, couldn't help but sigh and surrendered. "Kong Ming's chess is superior, and Qi loses."

Zhuge Liang glanced at the one-sided chessboard and said disapprovingly. "It's not that Liang Qi is superior, but that the son has a knot."

Liu Qi, who was pierced through his heart, was embarrassed. That's right, I do have a knot. But this heart knot can't be said with Zhuge Liang. After all, it was Zhuge Liang's idea that he forced him to come up with. is making rumors by mistake right now, if he mentions it in front of Zhuge Liang, wouldn't he be blaming the other party. That's too unjust.

Just when Liu Qi didn't plan to trouble Zhuge Liang anymore, Zhuge Liang said in one sentence, "Childe is worrying about rumors?" ”

Seeing that Zhuge Liang took the initiative to mention this matter, Liu Qi no longer had anything to hide, but when he saw him, he sighed and said, "Don't hide it from Kong Ming, now that Xiangyang is rumored to be in collusion with Liu Bei, Qi doesn't know how to explain it to his father." ”

"Childe doesn't need to worry about this. Ling Zun will have his own judgment. Zhuge Liang raised his head and smiled confidently at Liu Qi.

Liu Qi's eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard Zhuge Liang say this, but then it dimmed, and he shook his head again and again, "Kong Mingdon't want to comfort Qi." My father has always favored Yu Di Cong better than Qi, but now I am afraid that he is even more disgusted with Qi Ye. ”

"Why is Childe arrogant?" Zhuge Liang raised his eyebrows. Looking directly at Liu Qi Zhengse, "It has always been orderly for the young and the young, and the son is the eldest son, so he should inherit the family business." On the other hand, Yuan Shao abolished the growth and establishment of the young, which divided the Yuan clan in Runan. With such a lesson from the past, how can Ling Zun not take it as a warning? ”

As if to confirm Zhuge Liang's words. As soon as his words fell, a voice of announcement came from downstairs, "The eldest prince of Qiqi, Xiangyang is here." ”

Liu Qi first glanced at Zhuge Liang in surprise, and then his face showed uneasiness. Seeing that Liu Qi was a little hesitant, Zhuge Liang gave him an encouraging look. As the so-called blessing is not a curse, it is a disaster that cannot be avoided, and since the messengers are here, it is not a matter to hide upstairs.

So Liu Qi got up happily and walked down the stairs with a hard head. But seeing that the envoy from Xiangyang was already waiting downstairs, as soon as he saw Liu Qi going downstairs, the envoy led by him quickly stepped forward with a smile on his face and bowed his hand and said, "Congratulations to the eldest prince, the lord named the eldest prince as General Fubo, and the commander-in-chief of the battle of Changsha." ”

Liu Qi, who thought that his father had sent someone to question him, couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard that he was going to be promoted to his own official. It is important to know that although General Fubo is a miscellaneous general, he usually serves as a taishou. Liu Qi is now named General Fubo, undoubtedly sitting on the position of Jiangxia Taishou, and at the same time has military power. Liu Qi, who was overjoyed, hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Please tell your father on your behalf, Qi'er will never live up to his father's trust." ”

Zhuge Liang, who was standing behind Liu Qi, was not as optimistic as Liu Qi. In his opinion, the battle of Changsha was not easy to fight, Changsha was too guarded by Zhang Xian to occupy the geographical advantages and people, and the siege war was not conducive to the besieging side. With Liu Qi's prestige and strength, I am afraid that it will be difficult to complete the trial delivered by Liu Biao. However, in this way, Liu Qi should need to rely on external forces even more.

Speaking of external forces, we have to mention Liu Bei, whom Zhuge Liang has always been optimistic about. If it weren't for the rumors in Xiangyang, Liu Qi would have already befriended Liu Bei at this time. However, this small change did not stump Zhuge Liang. After all, even if there are no current rumors, as long as Liu Qi and Liu Bei get close, there will always be gossip in the future. It is certainly a way to let Liu Qi impress Liu Biao with the love of father and son, but in Zhuge Liang's opinion, the most effective way is to take the initiative.

"Kong Ming, my father has appointed Qi as General Fubo." Liu Qi, who had sent the envoy away, hurriedly ran over to share his joy with Zhuge Liang.

"Congratulations to Mr. Qi." Zhuge Liang congratulated Liu Qi indifferently.

Zhuge Liang's attitude calmed Liu Qi down. Thinking of the battle of Changsha that was in full swing right now, he hurriedly grabbed Zhuge Liang's sleeve and asked for help, "In the battle of Changsha, Kong Ming can help Qi." ”

And when Liu Qi of Jiangxia was appointed as General Fubo, Mrs. Cai, the wife of Liu Biao, who was far away in Xiangyang's assassination embassy, was so angry that her teeth were itching. I saw her facing her brother Cai Mao with a blue face and asking, "I didn't let you spread rumors in the city, saying that Liu Qi colluded with Liu Bei with bad intentions. Why did the envoy still crown Liu Qi as General Fubo! ”

Cai Mao was questioned by Mrs. Cai, and she felt quite aggrieved. After all, everything he could have done had already been done. Liu Biao still appointed his eldest son as General Fubo, what can he do as an uncle. However, Mrs. Cai has always been strong, so Cai Mao is a little frightened of this girl. saw him persuade Mrs. Cai with a flattering smile, "Second sister, don't be in a hurry, you have always loved Cong'er." This Fan appointed Liu Qi as the general of Fubo, most of which was just to block the mouth of Youyou. After all, Liu Qi is always the eldest son. ”

"It's all given the right to fight, how can I not be in a hurry." Mrs. Cai bit her red lip and said unwillingly. It is said that the Cai family is also a wealthy family in Jingzhou. Mrs. Cai has had a very high opinion of herself since she was a child, thinking that she will one day become the wife of a hero. Now she is indeed married to one of the best princes in the world. But the fly in the ointment is that she is Liu Biao's stepwife. In order to let his biological son Liu Cong squeeze out Liu Qi and become the heir. Mrs. Cai is not less tricky in secret. At this moment, seeing that Liu Qi had a tendency to be favored again, Mrs. Cai couldn't help but say anxiously, "Brother really hasn't heard anything?" ”

Cai Mao lowered her head and thought about it. With a slight hesitation, he replied, "This...... The envoy once asked Mao Donglai Cai Anzhen if Nanyang Cai's relatives were deceased. ”

Mrs. Cai hurriedly asked, "How do you answer?" ”

"I'm telling the truth." Cai Mao said disapprerovingly, "Cai Anzhen's father, Uncle Qigong, is our cousin, and he can't fake it. ”

"Stupid! Genealogy cannot be faked. Don't you know how to avoid suspicion! Mrs. Cai scolded at Cai Maojiao.

Cai Mao was drunk like this by her sister, and she couldn't help but lose her temper, and immediately stalked her neck and said, "Cai Anzhen is a tyrant in the north, and the Nanyang Cai family is proud of it, so why not?" ”

"Does Cai Anzhen have anything to do with her brother in the Northland? Brother, don't forget, Er is Liu Jingsheng's general. The foundation of my Cai clan is also in Jingzhou, not Beidi! Mrs. Cai rolled her eyes angrily and said.

In fact, as early as when Cai Ji took office as a woman as Donglai Taishou, there was a lot of turmoil within the Cai family in Nanyang. But it's just a wave. As Mrs. Cai said, the foundation of the Nanyang Cai family is in Jingzhou, and it is impossible to go to Qingzhou to interfere with what Cai Ji did. What's more, it was Yuan Shao who recommended Cai Ji to be the Taishou at that time, and the vast majority of people regarded Donglai's girl Taishou as Yuan's puppet. In this case, how dare Nanyang Cai's family tease Yuan Shao's tiger whiskers. So even if Cai Ji is mixed up in the north, he will be prosperous again. Nanyang Cai's also did not publicize their relationship with Cai Ji as usual. It wasn't until last year that Cai Ji teamed up with Cao Cao to kill Yuan Shao that she was officially recognized by the world as an independent prince. And Cai Mao and other Cai children also began to show their pride in Cai Ji openly and secretly. However, in Mrs. Cai's opinion, this is an extremely unwise move.

At this moment, seeing that Cai Mao on the other side was still looking indifferent, Mrs. Cai had to sigh and analyze to her, "Brother Mingjian." Cai Anzhen was not only a prince, but also formed an alliance with Cao Cao by marriage. How can the old man, who has always been at odds with Cao Cao, not regard Cai Anzhen as an opponent? How can you not be afraid of the Nanyang Cai family, who is related to Cai Anzhen? ”

Mrs. Cai asked two questions in succession, which made Cai Mao, who was originally complacent about having one more backer, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Although Liu Biao has never publicly expressed his likes and dislikes for Cai Ji. But anyone with a discerning eye can see that Liu Biao has the heart to chase the deer. Now that Cai Ji has formed an alliance with Cao Cao, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not send troops to Jingzhou for Cao Cao in the future. If the Cai family is out at this time, they will have a good relationship with Cai Anzhen. It will indeed cause Liu Biao's jealousy. From this, it is not so surprising to think about Liu Qi's acceptance of the title of General Fubo. Thinking of this, Cai Mao hurriedly blurted out, "How is this good?" ”

This time, Mrs. Cai did not continue to blame Cai Mao, but after pondering for a while, she asked rhetorically, "Why did the envoy mention Cai Anzhen's matter?" ”

Cai Mao thought about it and replied, "It was Kuai Liang who mentioned it that day, and many scholars in Jingzhou were talking about Cai Anzhen. Only then did the envoy ask me about Cai Anzhen's life experience. ”

"So it was." There was a sneer on Mrs. Cai's already blue face. As Cai Mao said before, it is not a shocking secret that Cai Ji was born in the Cai family in Nanyang. It's just that Cai Ji and the Nanyang Cai family deliberately avoided talking about it. What's more, Cai Ji's father, Cai Boqi, was a Confucian celebrity, and it is impossible for Liu Biao not to know Cai Ji's life experience. It can be seen that most of the people chewed their tongues behind their backs, which made Liu Biao mind the relationship between the Cai family and Cai Ji in Nanyang so much. Especially after Cai Mao mentioned Kuailiang, Mrs. Cai was even more sure of her guess.

The two brothers Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue are the two most angry strategists under Liu Biao at the moment. It is said that when Liu Biao first arrived in Jingzhou in the first year of Chuping, the local thieves were very arrogant. And Yuan Shutun was in Luyang, Wu Su led Changsha Taishou, and Bei Yu was Huarong Chang, all of which were based on one side and became independent. On the other hand, when Liu Xianma entered Yicheng, there was not a single soldier around him, only Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, who were from Lu County, and Cai Mao, who was still a strong man at the time, conspired together.

At that time, Liu Biao asked Ji Kuailiang: "The thieves here are very prosperous, and the masses are not attached, so Yuan Shu has made trouble, and the disaster has now come!" I want to recruit troops here, but I'm afraid they won't be able to gather, so what can I do? ”

Kuai Liang said: "The reason why the masses are not attached is because of the lack of benevolence, and the reason why the masses are dependent and cannot govern is because of the lack of righteousness; If the way of benevolence and righteousness can be done, then the people will return like the downward trend of the water, so why worry about the inroads of those who come and ask for the strategy of raising the army? ”

Liu Biao also consulted Kuai Yue, and Kuai Yue said: "Those who govern peace take benevolence and righteousness first, and those who govern chaos take power and scheming first." There are not many soldiers, but they can win their people. Yuan Shu is brave and unbreakable, Su Dai and Bei Yu are all brave martial artists, so there is nothing to worry about. The leader of the thieves is greedy and violent, and his subordinates are worried. I have some people under my command who are usually cultivated, and if they are sent to show their benefit, the leader of the thieves will surely come with the crowd. The king will punish those who have no way, and then use them with others. The people of such a state have the heart of happiness and the virtue of the king, and they will help the old and the weak to come. Even if the soldiers are gathered, Jiangling in the south and Xiangyang in the north, the eight counties of Jingzhou can be passed on. Although Yuan Shu and the others came, there was nothing they could do. ”

Liu Biao sighed: "Zirou (Kuailiang character) can be described as Yongji's theory. The plan of Xenodegree (Kuai Yue Character) can be described as a plan of the murderer. After that, he sent Kuai Yue to send people to lure the thieves, and fifty-five people came and all of them were beheaded. and to take them over, or to give them a trilogy. Since then, the chaos in Jingzhou has been calmed down, and Liu Biao began to manage his troops in Xiangyang, laying the foundation for the future competition in the Central Plains.

Since the Kuai brothers were the first contributors to Liu Biao's capture of Jingzhou, Mrs. Cai has always attached great importance to the two of them. After a few contacts, Kuai Yue began to pay attention to Liu Cong. But Kuai Liang didn't pay attention to the kindness released by Mrs. Cai, and still "favored" Liu Qi everywhere. Thinking of the mix that Kuai Liang made for herself this time, Mrs. Cai couldn't help but secretly decide that she must blow a pillow wind on Liu Biao again. Of course, the premise is that no one can hold back. So Mrs. Cai solemnly warned Cai Mao again, "Brother needs to think twice about everything he says and does in the future, and don't let people hold on to the handle." ”
