"Second brother, I heard that you killed seven or eight enemies in the first battle, aren't you really afraid?" Liu Wen is still a little Lori, so she won't take Liu Qi's displeasure into account, and she will pick and choose what she is interested in.

Liu Cong put down the wine glass in his hand, smiled at Liu Wen, and said slowly: "It's fake to say that you're not afraid, the enemy is also a knife with his hand, and he will really cut you on the body, and if you can't cut someone, you will cut your horse." However, the second brother was forced at the beginning, I didn't take the lead, and the soldiers refused to fight hard to kill the enemy. ”

"Then how did Wu Ju defeat you, it is said that they wanted to trick you into Jiangling with a strategy, and then took you as a hostage to blackmail your father, but you were defeated by your plan?" Xiao Lori obviously knew about Liu Cong's deeds from other sources for a long time.

"Now that you know everything, what else are you asking?"

"No, I'm going to hear from you personally."

"That's pretty much it, but it's down to my father's prestige and the elite soldiers brought by Xiangyang. The second brother just borrowed it for use. Otherwise, it would be difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. ”

"You don't have to be modest, Wu Ju can be opposed, it means that you don't notice the use of people for your father, fortunately, you controlled the situation in time, otherwise Jingzhou will be in chaos again." The family banquet was full of his own family, and Liu Biao no longer held it and said what was in his heart. This surprised Cai and Liu Qi, you must know that Liu Biao usually has an excellent reputation, but now he actually took the initiative to criticize himself in front of Liu Cong? Liu Qi couldn't help but be even more unhappy in his heart, and even hated Liu Cong a little, this father also favored his younger brother Liu Cong too much!

"Yes, the second brother has made a miraculous achievement on the spot, and the eldest brother congratulates you again!" Although Liu Qi was a hundred reluctant in his heart, he still wanted to congratulate in front of everyone, not to mention that Liu Biao had set the tone.

"Thank you, big brother, in the final analysis, I still have to owe it to my father, if it wasn't for my father who gave me this opportunity...... Of course, I would like to thank my eldest brother for giving me this great opportunity. Although Liu Cong was unwilling, he still patted the sycophants of his two relatives vigorously.

"Second brother, can you teach me martial arts when you have time?"

"Girls' families, martial arts are not good, you have time to learn more from your sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, don't talk all day long." Mrs. Cai, who was on the side, was afraid that Liu Cong would agree to ask her baby daughter to practice martial arts, so she hurriedly spoke out to stop her.

Because Liu Cong won the battle, the whole family banquet was also very harmonious, only the third son, Liu Xiu, seemed a little dull, except for the constant toast and Liu Cong, he didn't seem to be able to interject. is also not born to Cai, he is only seventeen years old this year, he has not yet married a wife, and he ranks fourth among Liu Biao's children, so he is naturally not lively.

After the family banquet, Liu Biao called Liu Qi and Liu Cong to the study, first praised Liu Cong in front of Liu Qi, and told the two brothers to continue to work hard, especially Liu Qi to learn from the second brother.

Then came the topic that the three of them were most concerned about.

"Cong'er killed Nanjun Taishou, and now this position is vacant. Nanjun is a key place in Jingzhou, who should do the two of you who should do the Nanjun Taishou? Liu Biao was very happy today, although he reprimanded Liu Cong in front of Cai Mao and Zhang Yun before. But the father in the world doesn't want his son to be stronger than others, so he thinks that our parents should be happier even if their children fight in school and win.

What's more, this time his twenty-one-year-old youngest son played the fifty-year-old Wu Ju to death, and also ensured that Nanjun was not chaotic, Liu Biao was of course happy. Liu Qi also felt that his father hadn't been so happy for a long time, and he wanted to find an opportunity to privately beg his father to take him as the Taishou of Nanjun, but the reasons were all thought of, and he was even willing to take a step back in the future to assist Liu Cong.

It's just that Liu Biao is about to decide on the candidate for Nanjun Taishou so soon, and he has no chance to intercede with his father in private.

In Liu Qi's view, although Liu Cong has made miraculous achievements, he is too young after all, he is thirty-one, Liu Cong is twenty-one, and being old at this time is also an advantage. But from today's dinner, it seems that his younger brother is very mature and stable, but I am afraid that my father is also biased towards the second brother in his heart, and he is secretly anxious. If the position of Nanjun is taken by Liu Cong, there is no need for the Cai family to help the trouble, but I am afraid that in the future, this Jingzhou father will also be handed over to Liu Cong. Liu Qi can't help but be in a hurry!

"My father consulted Cai Mao and Zhang Yun for their opinions, and the two of them also expressed their own opinions, so my father wants to hear the opinions of the two of you, Qi'er, what do you think?" Liu Biao did not reveal what Cai Mao and Zhang Yun said, so he asked Liu Qi directly.

"The child thought...... It is said that the second brother is now the governor of Nanjun, and this time he has made great contributions, and it is logical for him to serve as the Taishou of Nanjun. It's just that as my father said, Nanjun is the hinterland of my Jingzhou, and my second brother is still young......" Liu Qi said while looking at Liu Cong with his eyes, but Liu Cong looked at him as if he was bowing his head and contemplating, not looking at others.

Looking at Liu Biao again, it seemed that he was also listening to himself carefully, and he had no other expression, so he boldly said: "Speaking of maturity, stability and prestige, the child recommends Liu Bei, the commander of Xinye County, Uncle Liu Huang." Liu Bei was originally a relative of my Han family, and his subordinates were fierce generals such as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun, as well as good ministers such as Mi Zhu and Jian Yong, and it was most suitable to guard Nanjun. ”

"Oh, Liu Bei?" Liu Biao raised his eyebrows, obviously dissatisfied with Liu Cong's answer, and then turned to use and asked, "Cong'er, what do you think?" ”

"This matter should have been decided by my father alone, and there was no need to listen to other people's opinions." Liu Cong replied simply, this is purely because of Liu Qi's pig brain, you see Liu Biao said Cai Mao Zhang Yun, that is the person who supports me, you recommend the person who supports you, you pig brain don't want to think about Liu Bei is something you can control? Can father like Liu Bei?

"You and Qi'er are adults, and they are the right-hand men of your father, and your father really wants to hear the opinions of the two of you, how do you say it, but it doesn't matter." If you want the child to say that neither the father-in-law nor the cousin Zhang Yun, or the imperial uncle Liu Bei are not suitable for the Nanjun Taishou. Liu Biao insisted on asking, but Liu Cong had no choice but to raise his head and say.

"Why?" This time, Liu Biao and Liu Qi spoke in unison.

"Let's talk about my father-in-law and cousin Zhang Yun first, I believe that my eldest brother and I have the same worries, now in addition to my father, the two of them have the final say in the affairs of Xiangyang City, and the two are also in charge of the Xiangyang * Water Army and the Xiangyang City Defense Army. The good thing is that now the two are in charge at the same time.

The father can also check and balance it, if one person is transferred to Nanjun Taishou, the other person will definitely be in charge of the defense of Xiangyang. One is in charge of Xiangyang and the other is in charge of Nanjun, may I ask if it is my father's turn to call the shots in this land of Jingzhou? It's not that children are unfilial, ten or twenty years later, can you control these two big brothers? Can this Jingzhou Mu still be surnamed Liu? ”

Liu Cong said this, Liu Biao and Liu Qi nodded again and again, no matter whether the throne is passed to Liu Qi or Liu Cong in the future, Liu Biao naturally does not want to see his son being bullied by his subordinates, Liu Qi is more out of personal interests, no one can let Cai Mao and Zhang Yun do it, the more powerful the two of them are, the more advantageous Liu Cong is to compete for the position. But he didn't expect that Liu Cong didn't want Cai Mao and Zhang Yun to serve as the Taishou of Nanjun.

"Then Liu Bei can't do it even more. , presumably my father has also seen it these days, he is just a reckless but can make up a Zhongshan Jingwang, which shows the shamelessness of this person. successively followed Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao, Lu Bu, Cao Cao, and then betrayed one after another, and was very untrustworthy. Then he will lose every battle, abandon his wife and do everything, and he is very incompetent. In the end, he was made homeless by Cao Cao, and if it weren't for his father's kindness, this person would be a mountain bandit at best.

If Liu Bei is allowed to guard Nanjun, he is afraid that he will be faster than Wu Ju. Even if it is not a rebellious, according to his talent of losing every battle, once a foreign enemy comes to attack, then the people of Nanjun will suffer. How can such a trustworthy, shameless, and incompetent person occupy my Jingzhou good place? Furthermore, back to the previous topic, in the face of his father, this person is ambitious, does the eldest brother have the confidence to control him?

Liu Cong asked rhetorically, Liu Biao was stunned in his heart, Liu Bei was also untrustworthy in his heart, and it was helpless to let him guard Xinye, Liu Bei came to cheat and cheat under the banner of the Han family, he was an imperial uncle, and he was going to Jingzhou to ask for food, so you couldn't help it. It's just that in his heart, Liu Biao has always been on guard against Liu Bei. After Liu Cong broke it so little, he directly denied it.

Liu Qi was also shocked in his heart, he didn't expect that the backer in his mind, the reinforcements, would be so unbearable in Liu Cong's eyes. 's father trusted Liu Cong even more, and when Liu Cong commented, he directly vetoed Liu Bei, and his own abacus ...... However, the last rhetorical question made Liu Qi think twice, can he control Liu Bei? ? He himself has no bottom.
