Chapter 15: The Great Army Strikes the Frontier
Liu Qi is definitely not mediocre, just with his "discerning eyes", he has set up this vote, which is definitely enough for him to blow for a lifetime.
But this idea is really good, now that Cai Mao is dead, Liu Biao is back in charge of Jingzhou's military power, Liu Qi, as the eldest son, will inherit the unification sooner or later, his rich second generation is much more powerful than Xiao Wang, which is a big help.
"Although Childe's idea is good, but Childe's identity is respected, and he is ...... below"
Liu Xuan said, Liu Qi interrupted him: "Uncle Huang's words are different, Uncle Huang and his father are brothers of the same clan, and they are Liu Qi's elders, so it is said that Liu Qi is not big or small."
However, I believe that Uncle Huang will not be surprised and can allow the little nephew, the little nephew really just wants to follow the Uncle Huang and be Uncle Huang's right-hand man. ”
Xu Shu naturally knew the benefits of this eldest son, and he could also see Liu Xuan's thoughts, so he took advantage of the situation and said:
"Lord, I see that the son is very sincere and enthusiastic, you will agree, you will join forces with the same sect, and you will definitely be able to make a great cause!"
Liu Xuan was waiting for this sentence, so he simply got off the donkey, first took the Xinye City Defense with Liu Qi, and then made a vote with Liu Qi under the witness of Xu Shu.
In the following days, the war reports from the north continued to come, Cao Cao first burned the grain and grass of Yuan Shao's army in Wuchao, but Yuan Shao's three sons were still fighting for the position of the prince, and they still only cared about themselves when they were fighting, regardless of the life or death of their brothers.
really responded to the sentence that you are not afraid of god-like opponents, but afraid of pig-like teammates.
Then Cao Cao took advantage of the victory to pursue, and Yu Guandu completely defeated Yuan Shao's army, and then led troops to chase and kill Half Yue, and Yuan Shao retreated to Jizhou.
Although Yuan Shao was defeated, but the remaining breath remained, the problem of sticking to Jizhou was not big, but at the critical moment, the strategist Xu You defected to the enemy, leading the Cao army into Jizhou City, since this generation of princes, Yuan Shao, the fourth and third dukes, was defeated in Jizhou and died by suicide.
So far, Cao Cao has won the northern Central Plains and Kyushu, occupying one-third of the land in the world, which can be described as a monstrous power.
In the general mansion, Liu Xuan, Nie Feng and Xu Shu gathered together to discuss, and Nie Feng said:
"Big brother, Cao Cao's current power is monstrous, the army is flourishing, Jingzhou has been regarded by him as a bag, our Xinye is the first to bear the brunt, Liu Biao does not dare to fight, we must prepare for it ourselves."
Preparation must be done, but the problem is that Xinye Town, the number of troops is barely in the thousands, and if Liu Biao, the old stubborn, refuses to send troops, everything is empty talk.
In the past few days, Liu Xuan has known why Liu Biao's historical reputation is not good.
With an army of 300,000 in hand, he didn't even have the courage to confront Cao Cao, and he was not even as good as Liu Qi.
In the past few days, Liu Qi has been going back and forth between Jingzhou City's Thorn Mansion and Xinye, and he has never said that he can't move his waste father.
Liu Xuan was also helpless in this regard.
Xu Shu said: "Liu Biao has always been mediocre, and he wants to live by guarding his own one-third of an acre, but he doesn't know the truth that Wang Ye is not partial, and Jingzhou will be handed over to Cao Cao by him sooner or later." ”
Bu Jingyun suddenly slammed his fist on the table, and said angrily: "This old boy, Senior Brother Feng shouldn't have saved him in the first place, I really want to slap him to death with one palm!" ”
Nie Feng hurriedly persuaded: "Senior Brother Yun, don't be impulsive, maybe Gongzi can bring us good news this time." ”
really said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, before Nie Feng's words fell, Liu Qi ran into the lobby out of breath:
"Oh no, Uncle Huang, my father suddenly suffered a stroke and fell unconscious, and the doctors are all helpless, please, please take Uncle Feng and me over to have a look!" Liu Qi said urgently.
At this critical moment, Liu Biao actually fell, and the things in it were too strange.
Liu Xuan didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly told Bu Jingyun and Xu Shu to stay in Xinye, and he and Nie Feng rushed to the Assassin's Mansion with Liu Qi.
After half a day, he finally arrived at the Assassin's Mansion, but at this time, the Assassin's Mansion had already been surrounded by heavy troops, and he couldn't enter the mansion for half a step.
"What are you doing here, you don't know me anymore, or do you want to rebel?" Liu Qi rebuked the general who was the leader.
The general said with a disdainful face: "I'm sorry Gongzi, according to the lord's will, let Liu Conggongzi be the lord of Jingzhou, the new lord has an order, without an order, no one is allowed to step into the Assassin's Mansion for half a step, and those who violate the order will be beheaded." ”
Liu Qi stepped forward and grabbed the other party's armor and said excitedly: "What did you say, my father's will?" You say your father is gone? ”
"Yes, the old lord has passed away, but at this moment, Cao Jun is about to commit, and it is inconvenient to mourn, and I also ask the prince to focus on the overall situation and not make the matter public, after all, if something goes wrong in Jingzhou, the son will not be able to please him!"
"You are talking nonsense, my father can't just let go of Jingzhou like this, let your people disperse for me, delay my father's illness, I will ask you!" Liu Qi said urgently.
"you!"
The general pushed Liu Qi away very impatiently.
Seeing this, Nie Feng couldn't help but want to step forward, but was stopped by Liu Xuan: "Don't be impulsive, let's withdraw first." ”
After that, he pulled up Liu Qi, who had lost his mind, and left the Assassin's Mansion.
Later, he sent Nie Feng to infiltrate the Assassin's Mansion to investigate the truth, and sure enough, he had really died.
"Gongzi mourns, now Jingzhou is in the hands of Liu Cong, of course, in fact, it should be the Cai family, let's hurry back to Xinye now and think about it in the long run." Liu Xuan said to Liu Qi.
Whether it is Cai's or Liu Cong, this time the preparation is quite sufficient, and tens of thousands of troops are the backers, and they will definitely suffer if they work hard.
Liu Qi also knew that the general trend was gone, so he immediately returned to Xinye with Liu Xuan and Nie Feng, and then rushed to Jiangxia overnight under the escort of Nie Feng.
Most of Jingzhou's soldiers and horses and money and grain are stationed in Jiangxia, and they have always been loyal to Liu Biao, or Liu's, whether this battle can be turned over, this move is quite important.
Fortunately, ten days later, Nie Feng sent someone to deliver a letter, he and Liu Qi had already controlled the military and political power in Jiangxia, and were waiting for Liu Xuan's dispatch at any time.
"Young Master Liu Qi is an understanding person, this time it is really God helping the lord!" Xu Shu sighed after reading the letter.
Liu Xuan said: "Jiangxia has an army of more than 100,000 troops, hundreds of thousands of loads of grain and grass, if Cao Cao comes to attack, as long as we defend Jiangxia, we will definitely have more than enough self-protection, but we are really aggrieved." ”
Now that Cao Cao has incorporated Yuan Shao's army, there are 500,000 soldiers, which is really not to be underestimated.
Even if he can kill 180,000, the rest is not easy to do.
"The lord is worried, so we must first frustrate the spirit of the Cao army in Xinye City, this time the vanguard of the Cao army is Cao Ren, this person has the courage and no strategy, and the 50,000 troops he brought are just for our soldiers to sharpen their guns and halberds." Xu Shu said.
The corners of Bu Jingyun's mouth hooked: "The military advisor is so courageous, we are only 10,000 soldiers and horses, and we have to sharpen our knives with five times the enemy, to be honest, I don't dare to think about it." ”
