Hear the words of the general.

Several other officials, who were also standing half a step away from Liu Qi, also looked at Liu Qi and waited for Liu Qi's reply.

"Isn't there anything wrong with that?" Liu Qi said lightly, "You know, this is a decision made by them, not me, if you can listen to my opinion, why not!" ”

For the defeated Jingzhou army outside the city, it didn't make him feel any waves in his heart.

After all, Zhang Yun and Huang Zu from Jiangxia all support Liu Cong and oppose his existence, even if they are the main candidates to guard Xiangyang City, but if they oppose his opinion and lead their troops out of the city, it has nothing to do with him.

And the few officials behind him, among them are Pang Ji, who is also the military general who spoke before, that is, the person who supports him.

It's just that on the surface, he didn't get any support, it was just paralyzing Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others, but secretly he had the support of Pang Ji and others.

But compared to the forces that support Liu Cong, it is too weak.

has not been made public, has been secretly contacting, no matter what, he is still Liu Biao's eldest son, and it is still possible to win over some officials.

And the 5,000 Jingzhou troops left in the city were also under his control.

"But..." Pang Ji wanted to say something.

But before he could speak, he was stopped.

Liu Qi waved his hand and said: "General Pang, I know what you want to say, here, you should also see very clearly, if the Qin army does not have reinforcements, then the goal of Zhang Yun and others has been achieved, but in fact, the Qin army has reinforcements coming, even if the five thousand soldiers in the city join in, they will not be able to turn the tide of the battle." ”

"Moreover, leading the army out of the city can also allow the Qin army to take the opportunity to attack the city, no different!"

"Don't forget, I have always disagreed to go out of the city to attack the Qin army's camp, as long as I stick to the city, I still have a chance to wait, but now..."

Speaking of which.

Liu Qi didn't continue, just shook his head helplessly.

Although he has a certain hatred with Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others, and Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others still want his life and take the opportunity to support Liu Cong as the heir, he still doesn't want to have any problems with Zhang Yun and others at this critical time.

But when Zhang Yun and others insisted on going their own way and led the army out of the city to attack the Qin army camp, it had already changed.

And Liu Cong, as well as the rest of the officials who were left behind in the city on Zhang Yun's side, were all controlled by him.

Hear the words.

Pang Ji was also silent.

glanced at the rest of the officials who supported Liu Qi, and there was helplessness in their eyes.

They all knew that what Liu Qi said was not wrong, and when there were reinforcements from the Qin army, the fate of the Jingzhou army that went out of the city to attack had already been decided.

Even if they led the last 5,000 Jingzhou troops guarding the city to support, they couldn't change anything, and they could only delay the time of defeat.

may be impacted by his own soldiers and horses, and he can't even delay for a while.

In the end, it is very likely that the Qin army will take the opportunity to kill into the city.

Although it was clear, watching the defeat of tens of thousands of troops, they still felt very aggrieved in their hearts, and it had nothing to do with the issue of supporting that side.

glanced at Pang Ji and the others.

"Since our army has been defeated, then the things discussed before should also be decided!" Liu Qi said.

When Zhang Yun led the army out of the city, he brought Pang Ji and others to discuss some things, but he had not yet made a decision, and only controlled Liu Cong, as well as a group of officials who supported Liu Cong.

And they came to the city wall to know the result, and to make the final decision based on the result.

"The eldest prince, do you really want to..., but Liu Zhoumu is after all...!" Pang Ji arched his hand.

"Exactly!"

Several other officials also spoke.

They all know what Liu Qi's decision is, if they win, the controlled Liu Cong, as well as a group of officials who support Liu Cong, will be released; And if they lose, then....

"Could it be that General Pang has any good suggestions?" Liu Qi said, "Although he is my father, at the instigation of Mrs. Cai, he has alienated me, and he wants to abolish me and let my younger brother Liu Cong inherit his position." ”

"Although I don't care about letting Liu Cong inherit his position, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others want to harm me, but he doesn't see it, in his heart, getting the support of Cai Mao and others is more important than my son!"

"If you don't approve of it, I can let you go, after all, with the current five thousand soldiers, it is difficult to hold Xiangyang City, and I don't want them to make fearless sacrifices."

After speaking.

His face was not very good-looking, and without waiting for Pang Ji and the others to answer, he walked away directly, walked down the city wall, and walked towards the city.

looked at the back of Liu Qi leaving.

Pang Ji and the others also looked at each other, sighed, and didn't say anything.

They all know that since Liu Biao married Mrs. Cai and received the support of the Cai family in Jingzhou, especially after Liu Cong was born, Liu Qi's status has been worse day by day.

It's also very embarrassing.

But this is all Liu Biao's family matter, and they don't have much to say.

secretly supports Liu Qi, that is because they still agree that Liu Qi is Liu Biao's eldest son, and what Liu Qi does on weekdays is also a thing that makes them very optimistic.

Especially Liu Qi's last words, they didn't know how to refute it.

Zhang Yun led the army to attack, and also took the 30,000 troops from Jiangxia, and now there are only 5,000 soldiers in the city.

Although I don't know what the strength of the Qin army is, what I saw on the city wall was not less than 10,000 people, even if it was attrition because of the previous battle, but with the reinforcements that came, there were still enough troops.

In other words, at this time, even if Zhang Yun did not lead the army out of the city, the Qin army had enough soldiers and horses to attack the city.

They all shook their heads.

I also wanted to walk under the city walls.

With the current situation, even if you want to ask for help, it's too late.

Moreover, the Jiangxia soldiers and horses that can still be mobilized have ceased to exist in tonight's battle, asking Nanyang for help, and the Qin army will not be unmoved, let them have some support.

It can be said that it could have been held on to a while and had a trace of vitality, but because of the arrangement of Zhang Yun and others, it was all lost.

......

Early the next morning.

Zhuge Liang, Yan Yan, and Huang Zhong hadn't decided how to attack Xiangyang City.

However, he received a report from the soldiers outside the camp that the gate of Xiangyang City was opened, and five or six people came to the camp to ask for a meeting.
