Chapter 765: The King and the Minister

On a small road leading to Jiangling, Liu Xiu was holding his black dragon horse and walking side by side with an old man in black, and that old man was the former Confucian leader, Xun Jing.

Looking at Liu Xiu, who was silent, Xun Jing sighed and asked, "Xiu'er, what are your plans next?" ”

A trace of hatred flashed in Liu Xiu's eyes, and then he smiled bitterly: "What else can I do?" My brother has been killed in battle, and Dong Zhuo will definitely make me the pastor of Jingzhou next, so as to continue to contain Qin Hao's forces. ”

Xun Guo looked at Liu Xiu's eyes and said lightly: "Jingzhou is the back garden of the Qin army, Qin Hao will never let any force grow in Jingzhou, are you sure you want to stay in Jingzhou, the land of trapped dragons?" ”

Liu Xiu naturally knew this, and his eyes were full of struggle, but in the end, he turned into relief.

"Since I, Liu Xiu, fell in Jingzhou, I have to get up in Jingzhou. Besides, Jingzhou is not a place where dragons are trapped......"

Liu Xiu's eyes were full of determination, and he said firmly: "It is the most suitable treasure land for me Liu Xiu." ”

"Oh?"

A hint of banter flashed in Xun Kuang's eyes, and he said lightly: "Jingzhou is the land of the four wars, now there is Qin Hao in the north, Liu Xuan in the east, Liu Yan in the west, Hong Xiuquan in the south, and most of the most elite Nanyang and Nanjun are now occupied by Qin Hao, how can you develop and grow here?" ”

A gleam flashed in Liu Xiu's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "The five princes of Jingzhou killed three people in this battle, and Huang Zu and Han Xuan are also unknown in life and death.

Jingzhou is now leaderless, as long as I am given time, I will be able to quickly unify Jingnan Jiangxia and fight against Qin Hao with the four and a half counties of Jingzhou.

As for Liu Yan, Liu Miao and Hong Xiuquan? ”

Speaking of this, a trace of contempt flashed in Liu Xiu's eyes, and he said confidently: "Erliu is just a dry bone in the grave, and sooner or later he will be destroyed by Liu Ji and Sun Jian, and as long as I can unify Jingzhou in advance, I may not be able to intervene in Yiyang Erzhou."

After Hong Xiuquan unified Jiaozhou, he lost his ambition and only knew that he was greedy for pleasure, and Jiaozhou would make a wedding dress for me sooner or later. ”

"This is just your own conjecture, it is too difficult to implement, and Qin Hao will not give you this opportunity."

Xun Wei shook his head in disagreement, and said lightly: "Qin Hao will definitely move south soon, do you think you can stop it when the time comes?" ”

Seeing that Liu Xiu was silent, Xun Jing continued: "Now you don't have the capital to compete with Qin Hao at all, and you will only ...... if you continue to stay in Jingzhou."

Xun Kan's words were not finished, but he was interrupted by Liu Xiu.

"I don't have this qualification, but Dong Zhuo does, besides, ......"

Xun Kuang was also stunned when he saw this, while Liu Xiu showed a sneer, and his lips moved slightly to say a few words, but Xun Kuang's complexion changed greatly.

"The afterlife is terrifying."

Xun Jing showed a pleased smile, patted Liu Xiu's shoulder, and said, "It seems that this failure has made you grow a lot, but you must remember that hatred will only blind your eyes." ”

After that, Xun Guo turned around and left directly, and Liu Xiu subconsciously wanted to stop, looking like he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything.

——————

In the camp of the Qin army, Bai Qi sat in the first place with a serious face, and the two people who were escorted up below were Huang Zu and Han Xuan, among the five princes of Jingzhou.

At the beginning, Han Xuan took the initiative to order a retreat, which caused the rout of the army on the left, but he did not run away in the end, and was caught up by Xu Chu and captured alive halfway, while Wei Yan and Gan Ning led the 2,000 remnants of the army to escape.

Huang Zu is still quite backbone, even if he is already a prisoner under the ranks, he is still quite tough, compared to Han Xuan, who is full of ugliness, and he is completely shameless in order to survive.

Huang Zu and Han Xuan are princes after all, although the two of them were captured alive this time, but there are still Jiangxia and Changsha counties under their command, and Bai Qi is not easy to deal with without authorization, so after a little contemplation, he said decisively: "Escort these two back to Xiangyang and hand them over to the lord to deal with." ”

After Bai Qi gave an order, Huang Zu held his neck and said nothing, but Han Xuan cried and begged Bai Qi to spare his life.

Bai Qi looked at Han Xuan who was dragged out helplessly, he didn't mean to kill him at all, and he didn't know what he was afraid of.

After Huang Zu Han Xuan was pressed out, another enemy general was escorted in, and it was Kou Sui, who ranked fifth among the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai.

Kou Sui, who was in charge of the rear army, was captured by Ran Min after the rout of the army, and became the only Yuntai general who was captured alive.

Thousands of troops are easy to obtain, but one general is hard to find.

Originally, Liu Xiu had thirteen of the twenty-eight generals in Yuntai, but after the battle, in addition to Deng Yu, Cen Peng, Feng Yi and Gai Yan, eight generals were killed, Kou Sui was captured, and Liu Xiu was almost beaten into a bare-bones commander by Bai Qi.

"Will you surrender to my lord?" Bai Qi asked indifferently.

Kou Sui looked at Bai Qi coldly, gritted his teeth and said, "I'd rather die than surrender." ”

Seeing this, Bai Qi's brows furrowed slightly, and he couldn't figure out what kind of ecstasy Liu Xiu was used to giving these people, and they were all so loyal.

Liu Xiu is not simple. Bai Qi said secretly in his heart.

Thinking of Liu Xiu, a hidden dragon, but this time he escaped from his hands, Bai Qi couldn't help but feel a little upset, and then waved his hand and said, "Drag it down, cut it." ”

"No."

Just when Kou Sui was about to be dragged out, Zhou Yu stood up and said: "Wait." ”

Bai raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "Zhou Yu, what do you have to say?" ”

"General, Kou Sui is from the Kou family in Changsha, and he is both humanistic and military, and he is a rare handsome man in Jingzhou, so it's a pity to kill him like this."

Of course, Bai Qi understood what Zhou Yu meant, and said: "But this person has a resolute attitude, and he would rather die than surrender." ”

Seeing that Bai Qi heard his words, Zhou Yu also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said calmly: "General, Kou Sui is unwilling to surrender now, it doesn't mean that he will not surrender in the future, besides, this kind of subjugation and surrender of the subordinates can be handed over to the lord to have a headache, why don't the generals have a good time." ”

Bai Qi was instantly alert, Zhou Yu had something to say in his words, this was to tell himself not to cross the gap between monarchs and ministers.

During this time, he was a little arrogant, although the lord trusted him, but it was difficult to ensure that the lord would not be alienated for a long time.

As soon as he thought of this, Bai Qi was shocked into a cold sweat behind him, he didn't understand politics at all, he just subconsciously ignored it.

Bai Qi's eyes looking at Zhou Yu couldn't help but soften, and he smiled lightly: "What Gong Jin said is reasonable, so first escort Kou Sui back to Xiangyang and hand it over to the lord to decide." ”

Zhou Yu was stunned when he heard this, this was the first time Bai Qi called himself a cousin.

Bai Qi smiled indifferently when he saw this, then looked at the generals, and said in a deep voice: "This battle defeated the 80,000 Jingzhou coalition army, and now the strength of Nanjun is unprecedentedly empty, it is the best time for our army to take all Nanjun." ”

"Lao Bai, you can give an order quickly, just waiting for your words." Li Cunxiao urged with a smile.

"Yes, yes...... the generals laughed together.

"Okay."

Bai Qi also laughed, but just as he was about to give the order to send troops, Qin Hao's order came.
