Mi Zhu came prepared this time, and even brought several younger brothers in the prison, one of whom was a local of Jiangxia. Under such and such a disguise, Mi Zhu hid in Jiangxia very smoothly, waiting for the opportunity to give Liu Bei a ruthless blow.

On the Xiangyang side, Kuai Yue, who was attacking everywhere, had already contacted several bigwig-level people in Xiangyang, and got their consent and approval. These people are Han Song, Fu Xun, and Zhang Yun, all of whom are well-known figures in the Jingzhou family.

Needless to say, Zhang Yun originally planned to surrender and save his life when Liu Yu's army arrived. As soon as Kuai Yue came to the door, he persuaded Zhang Yun without much nonsense.

Han Song was attached to the Kuai family when he was young, and was promoted by Liu Biao a few years ago, and gradually became a bigwig in Jingzhou. In fact, it was also a plan made by Liu Biao in order to avoid the Kuai family being the dominant family among the civil officials, and Han Song was also a very talented person, and he was very smooth in ascending to the position. Kuai Yue had already figured out Liu Biao's thoughts, and when Han Song did not make a statement, Kuai Yue publicly stated that Han Song had the same status as him. Han Song has an advantage, that is, he is more grateful. Kuai Yue can put down his body and treat himself as equals, but he is still against Kuai Yue? So Liu Biao's abacus fell through. Now that Kuai Yue came to the door, Han Song agreed without thinking about it.

The last Fu Xun was something Kuai Yue didn't want to look for in the first place. But Fu Xun has followed Liu Biao for the longest time, and his words are very weighty among Liu Biao's cronies, and Kuai Yue also has the intention of trying to contact Fu Xun.

To Kuai Yue's surprise, Fu Xun actually agreed to Kuai Yue's request.

Fu Xun has followed Liu Biao since he was young, and Liu Biao also attaches great importance to him, and has always made him the position of Dong Cao Peng, which can be said to be one of Liu Biao's absolute henchmen. But this person is not satisfied with the status quo and wants to go further. Liu Biao had no choice but to marry the Cai family, and most of the rights in Jingzhou were divided between the Cai family and the Kuai family. For the sake of his own ambitions, Fu Xun usually opposes these two families.

If you are right, Fu Xun is just conflicting with them in terms of political opinions, and the usual profit sharing must be collected. After all, as a big official, Fu Xun's family has a big business and a lot of expenses, and he can't meet his expenses without income other than salary. Fu Xun did this, so that he was not suppressed by Cai Mao and Kuai Yue. Liu Biao also needs to keep this person to create unhappiness for Cai Mao and Kuai Yue, so that he can stabilize his position in the history of assassination. And after Liu Biao's death, Fu Xun was like a dumb man, and he remained silent about any decision made by Cai Mao and Kuai Yue, and adopted the strategy of protecting himself with a clear mind, and he was never liquidated.

Now that Kuai Yue has come to the door and needs his support, where would Fu Xun disagree, he is thinking about how to use Liu Yu's army to go south to get some benefits for himself.

Literati all need face, and they must pay attention to an upright excuse in everything they do.

"Jingzhou's stability is not easy to come by, and Jingsheng Gong has worked hard for half a life to have today's situation. For the sake of the people of Jingzhou, I am willing to persuade Lord Thorn Shi with Xeno. This is Fu Xun's original words. How upright and upright, it makes so much sense to persuade the lord to surrender, and there is only a great Confucian like Fu Xun.

Kuai Yue felt that he had to learn from Fu Xun in some aspects, how flexible he was to bend and stretch.

Fu Xun's support made Kuai Yue's heart reassured, so he immediately went to find Cai Mao again. Cai Mao was also shocked when she learned that Kuai Yue had united so many bigwigs. It turns out that the Kuai family actually has such a lot of energy, even if Cai Mao had a bottom in his heart before, but now he is underestimated. Cai Mao began to regret it a little, if he knew such an invitation, he would have suppressed the Kuai family no matter what, but the current situation has made no use of him to make any changes. If there is a change here in Cai Mao, then Cai Mao will definitely become a thorn in the side of the entire Jingzhou Shi clan, and the end can be imagined.

Early the next morning, Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, Han Song, Fu Xun, Zhang Yun and others came to the Assassin's Mansion to see Liu Cong.

Although Liu Cong is young, he is smart and has long known that he has the entire Jingzhou on his shoulders. Liu Cong almost always got up earlier than others, even if the real power in Jingzhou is in Cai Mao's hands, Liu Cong also wants others to know that he is a responsible person in Jingzhou, and he will work hard when he grasps the real power. Liu Cong's reason for doing this was to avoid being dismissed by Cai Mao for a reason. For the sake of power, doing anything degrading has existed in ancient times, and Liu Cong did not dare to guarantee that his maternal uncle would wholeheartedly assist him in the position of assassin so safely.

Now that almost all the power bosses in Jingzhou are here, Liu Cong will not avoid it.

"Why are you here so early today?" Liu Cong met these people, and his heart was full of doubts.

Cai Mao glanced at Kuai Yue and motioned for Kuai Yue to go out first. Kuai Yue was speechless for a while, this Cai Mao is very smart when it comes to his own safety. Kuai Yue could only come out and said: "My lord, the rebels Liu Qi and Liu Bei in Nanyang have been defeated by the army of Emperor Shenwu, and now the two thieves have fled to Jiangxia to survive. I came here today to discuss my future plans for Jingzhou. ”

Liu Cong thought to himself that this was the most useful person in Jingzhou, much more reliable than Cai Mao and others.

"Xeno, how will I make a trade-off in Jingzhou in the future?" Liu Cong asked with a smile.

Kuai Yue said with a serious face: "My lord, at this moment, Liu Qi and Liu Bei are repulsed, but the wolf is coming, Emperor Shenwu's million-strong army has occupied Nanyang, Xiangyang is no longer in danger, my Jingzhou is in danger, and the future of Jingzhou is on the adults." ”

Liu Cong's face changed greatly when Kuai Yue said it, and he forgot that Liu Yu's million-strong army was about to be killed.

"How is this good, Xenomorph, what are we going to do?" Liu Cong is still too young, and he doesn't have a city government at all.

Cai Mao next to her was very angry when she heard it, as a nephew, it is simply unreasonable for you to ask Kuai Yue that outsider without asking your uncle. Cai Mao felt a little guilty before, but now seeing Liu Cong's performance, Cai Mao has no guilt at all.

Kuai Yue smiled and said nothing, Han Song knew that this was the time for him to come out and behave, and said loudly: "My lord, Emperor Shenwu issued a holy decree before, asking Liu Qi to strike a truce with your lord, but Liu Qi didn't listen to the holy decree, and I Jingzhou couldn't let Liu Qi and Liu Bei wreak havoc, so Emperor Shenwu was furious, and the emperor led a million troops to conquer in person. Now that the king can arrive in Jingzhou in an instant, after I have discussed it, I implore my lord to apologize to Emperor Shenwu for the sake of all the people in Jingzhou! Quenching the wrath of thunder. ”

"Apologize?" Liu Cong's eyes flashed, he knew what the person in front of him was going to say, and sneered: "I'm afraid this is not enough." ”

"Emperor Shenwu is benevolent, maybe he will forgive your lordship. It's just that we should show sincerity when we make mistakes first. Xia Guan thought that it was best for the adults to obey the will of Emperor Shenwu, so as not to cause misery to the lives of all people in Jingzhou. Han Song said leisurely.

Well, it turns out that you were persuaded to surrender. Liu Cong looked at the other three and asked, "That's what you mean, too." ”

Kuai Yue smiled and said: "The situation is forced, my Jingzhou is really powerless to resist the imperial court, please make a decision as soon as possible." ”

Liu Cong was angry, these people were his subordinates, and they didn't want to let their lord surrender, so he shouted: "What are you doing here? This official is your lord! ”

Kuai Yue and the others sneered in their hearts, if Liu Biao said this, they would be a little scared, but Liu Cong, you, a yellow-mouthed kid, are angry here, it's a bit funny.

"Your Excellency, you'd better make a decision earlier. After all, this is also good for you and Jingzhou. Cai Mao also opened her mouth.

"Uncle, why are you like this! I'm your nephew. Liu Cong is scared now, his previous reliance was on Cai Mao, what Cai Mao said, he really began to fear that he would lose power.

Cai Mao sneered, now that I remember that you are my nephew, where did you go just now.

Cai Mao directly closed her eyes and recuperated, not ready to answer Liu Cong's words at all.

Han Song said to Liu Cong with a smile on his face: "My lord, Xiaguan and the others are here on behalf of the people of Jingzhou. If you don't agree, we won't say a word. It's just that the whole Jingzhou is now very eager to return to the imperial court, if the will of the adults spreads, I'm afraid that something uncontrollable will happen, and no matter how hard I try, I won't be able to recover the situation. ”

Liu Cong finally understood that they were here to force the palace today.

"Please make a quick decision!"

Kuai Yue, Han Song and Fu Xun lobbied Liu Cong to surrender to Liu Yu.

The crowd was surging, Liu Cong still wanted to resist, and said: "Since the history of this assassin took office, he has been working hard every moment and not daring to slack off, and now he is guarding Jingzhou with you, guarding his father's foundation, there are more than 100,000 soldiers in Jingzhou, waiting to see the world change, can't you?" As long as you and I work together, even if Liu Yu has an army of one million, he can't pose the slightest threat to Jingzhou. “

Liu Cong knew that Liu Yu said that he had an army of one million, but in fact, it would be up to 200,000, and there were so many soldiers and horses in Jingzhou, which was enough for him to resist Liu Yu. The key is that the people below know to work together.

If Cai Mao and these people could be persuaded by Liu Cong, then they would not be here today.

Fu Xun, who has not spoken much, stood up and said: "There is a general situation in adversity, and there is a fixed trend in strength and weakness. It is the way of rebellion for us to resist the court with our subordinates; It is unwise to use the weak Jingzhou to fight against the rich Central Plains; Emperor Shenwu captured Nanyang, the monarch was mighty and powerful in the world, his generals were like clouds, and the elite soldiers were like rain, on the other hand, there were no unscrupulous generals available in Jingzhou, and there were no elite soldiers outside to resist the enemy, the strength and weakness were so obvious, if they forcibly resisted, it was really inappropriate. All three of them are insufficient, and if they want to resist the imperial army, they are bound to perish. ”

Fu Xun is worthy of reading poetry and books, and when it comes to reasoning, there is an endless stream of truths, and Liu Cong is speechless.

"My lord, how do you compare to Jingsheng Gong?" Fu Xun asked.

"My father is a hero, and I can't reach my father when I'm young." Liu Cong felt that he and Liu Biao were not comparable.

"Jingsheng Gong was the town of Jingzhou and laid the situation in Jingzhou in one fell swoop. If Jingsheng Gong is here, my Jingzhou still has the strength to fight with Emperor Shenwu. But now it's ...... Back then, Jingsheng Gong didn't dare to confront Emperor Shenwu head-on, and the adults were afraid that they would not be able to defeat Emperor Shenwu. "Fu Xun's words are very clear, your kid doesn't even have his own father, what kind of resistance are you talking about.

Liu Cong blushed a little, it is often better for blue to be blue, but it is a pity that it is not shown in him.

When Liu Cong wanted to refute, Fu Xun asked again, "My lord, how do you think you compare to Liu Bei?"

Liu Cong replied: "It's not as good as that."

Fu Xun then said, "That's it." Liu Bei is a hero who has survived the Yellow Turban Rebellion to this day. Even Jingsheng Gong was very jealous of Liu Bei. Now that Liu Bei has been defeated and retreated, how can Jingzhou be able to hold it? Liu Qi and Liu Bei had already fled to Jiangxia, and they kept their doors behind closed doors, making it clear that they were waiting for your lordship to fight to the death with Emperor Shenwu, and then they came out to clean up the mess. If you and Emperor Shenwu fight and lose, then Emperor Shenwu will inevitably kill your adult, and the world will laugh at the world. If the adult is lucky enough to win, I am afraid it will also be a heavy loss, when Liu Qi and Liu Bei kill from Jiangxia, Jiangdong Sun Ce will not let go of Jingzhou, my lord, what strength do you have to stop these jackals, tigers and leopards? Victory or defeat is not guaranteed by itself, it is better to make a decision in time to save your life. Xia Guan has followed Jing Shenggong for many years, and he doesn't want adults to fall into the poisonous hands of others. War together, the people will be devastated, Jingsheng Gong's years of hard work will be ruined, for the safety of the people of Jingzhou, please think twice! This is the heartfelt words of the lower officials, please make a decision as soon as possible. “

Liu Cong was very scared by what Fu Xun said, he didn't think of it so much, according to Fu Xun, his best way to live is really to return to Liu Yu. But he was unwilling, as Liu Biao's son, he also knew that if he was obedient, then the foundation laid by Liu Biao would be finished, and he would become a loser like Qin II.

When Liu Cong hesitated, Cai Mao said: "My lord, Emperor Shenwu is unparalleled in benevolence and virtue, if your lord submits, he will definitely forgive your sins." At that time, even if the adults are not in Jingzhou, they can be rich and prosperous for a lifetime. It's too dangerous to dominate the world, so think twice, my lord. ”

Liu Cong wanted to cry, he had been bullying him for being young and having no real power all these years, if he was given a few more years, he would definitely take back the power of Jingzhou, and there would be no such palace drama.

"My father's inheritance, how can I say that I will give up if I give up!" Liu Cong made the last struggle.

Kuai Yue Hao didn't scold, the big guy said so much, the saliva is almost dry, you guy is still hard-mouthed! Kuai Yue felt that he couldn't waste time, and if the soft one didn't work, the hard one would come.

Just when Kuai Yue was about to have a seizure, there was a coquettish cry outside the door.

"What are you doing here!"
