Chapter 004: Count Me So Soon?
"The defenders of Yancheng are insufficient, so they can only ask for help like the lord. It doesn't mean that the bandits really can't be cured, the homeless, the rabble, the officials and soldiers rush away, and they can be dispersed in a blink of an eye, it is a good time for the eldest prince to see the battlefield. ”
Liu Biao was a little hesitant when he heard this, he didn't like his eldest son, but Zhang Yun also made some sense.
Now is a troubled time, he Liu Biao is also a thorn in the history of the town guarding the side, his good ministers are fierce generals, but the eldest son is weak and does not know the military affairs, it is really a joke to say it.
Kuai Liang's words reassured Liu Biao's heart. was about to nod immediately, but suddenly thought of his beloved little son, thought about it and asked, "Cong'er, do you have any ideas?" ”
Such a good gold-plated opportunity, if the youngest son wants to go, it doesn't hurt to wait for Liu Qi's side.
Liu Cong had already heard Cai Mao know the inside story, and knew that the banditry in Yancheng was not so simple, it was a trap dug for his eldest brother, and of course he would not jump into it.
"Father, the child has already seen the battlefield, and such a safe and good opportunity should be given to the eldest brother."
Well, worthy of his favorite son!
Liu Biao smiled and nodded: "Very good, then let Qi'er come over." ”
For such an important discussion, Jingzhou's famous generals and ministers were all there, and even Liu Cong was present to observe, but Liu Qi was still called by name before he sent someone to invite.
It's just for that.
The neutral generals and ministers in the hall looked at each other, and they all wisely chose to keep their mouths shut.
Although the Cai family's practices are unbearable, the eldest prince is not wise enough for them to risk offending Cai Mao and Zhang Yun to come out.
If you can't even see such a shoddy trick, then give up, and give up......
The eldest prince's mansion, Liu Qi didn't know that there were people in the Assassin's Mansion who were worried about his life, and he was still immersed in the game.
The village level has been raised to level 2, and the number of laborers has increased by 200, but there is still a shortage of manpower.
Although three buildings have been unlocked, the resources are not enough to build them all at once. Liu Qi thought about it and ordered the horse farm to be built first, and the remaining villagers were allocated to collect various resources.
recruited 10 of the most basic first-class pikemen in the barracks, all of them were allocated to Huo Quai, and after instructing him to guard the village, he went offline.
No matter how urgent the tasks in the game are, you can't really ignore reality.
Otherwise, before he could upgrade the village to level 5 and summon the army of famous generals into reality, he would be played to death by his dear brother and the Cai family.
What's more, how effective the increased 5 points of strength and 5 points of commander are also have to be tried in reality.
At this moment, the old housekeeper of the mansion suddenly rushed in, sweating profusely and shouting: "Childe, Thorn Shi asked you to go to the council hall immediately!" ”
Liu Biao called me?
There must be pitfalls, you have to be careful.
Liu Qi thought for a while: "Call Zhao Er and ask him to bring two people to follow me." ”
Zhao Er was raised by the original owner from the street, and he has already become a soldier of the Gongzi Mansion, and his loyalty is definitely no problem.
Jingzhou Thorn Mansion, inside the conference hall.
Liu Biao asked Kuai Liang again to confirm: "Zirou, there is really no threat from the bandits in Yancheng?" ”
This is already the fifth time.
Kuai Liang had a good temper, and still replied patiently: "Lord, his subordinates have indeed scouted and investigated, but there are only a few hundred homeless people, and the eldest prince will definitely be able to return with a big victory!" ”
Liu Biao nodded with satisfaction: "That's good." ”
As long as the people he trusts tell him that this trip is not life-threatening to Liu Qi, his conscience will pass.
As for the facts, Liu Biao has no interest in finding out to the end for his eldest son.
He is not stupid, of course, it is impossible not to see the doubts, but the trust in Cai Mao and the love for the Cai family prevail, for the eldest son who does not like it, the father's love is reduced by three points, after all, he still closes his eyes, when he sees it.
"The eldest prince has arrived!"
Liu Qi strode into the council room, and all he saw was the indifferent or pitiful eyes of everyone.
"Father." Liu Qi endured his doubts: "What does my father command?" ”
Liu Biao coughed lightly twice, and said in a deep voice: "The bandits in Yancheng are rampant, and I will ask for help in the future, and De Jue recommends that you lead the troops to exterminate them." Can you be confident? ”
Let me, a boy who has never even been on the battlefield, go to suppress bandits?
Liu Qi frowned secretly, and caught a glimpse of the sneer on the corner of Cai Mao's mouth, and understood it in an instant.
This is because I actually lived to adulthood, and I have to find a way to open the way for Liu Cong!
In the queue of the military generals, a few of them were still more or less merciful, and they were desperately giving Liu Qi a look at them at this time - don't agree!
They didn't dare to offend Cai Mao and the others, so they could only use this method to remind the eldest prince to be careful.
Liu Qi saw it clearly and was moved in his heart, but he definitely couldn't accept the kindness of these people.
He knew very well that since Liu Biao called him, he had already made a decision. It seems to be asking his opinion, but in fact, there is no way back at all.
Once you refuse, you can't lose your life for the time being, but if you want to enter the core of Jingzhou's power layer, it's impossible.
Liu Biao is just about to have an excuse to abolish the long and young!
If it was before, Liu Qi was disgusted by his father, and he would never agree to die.
Now......
Liu Qi smiled slightly and bowed: "I am willing to share my father's worries!" ”
On both sides, the officials who had been watching him shook their heads and sighed, with pity and disdain in their hearts.
"Incompetent, I can't even see such a shoddy strategy."
"The eldest prince is too cowardly, he should refuse decisively at this time, how can he die in vain!"
"Alas, if the eldest prince hadn't been obsessed with books when he was young and read more military books, he wouldn't have made Cai Mao so rampant."
At this moment, in the eyes of everyone, Liu Qi, who took over the task, was already a dead man.
Liu Biao looked at the top of his eldest son's head, but after all, he couldn't bear it, and asked: "How many soldiers and horses do you need, just say it." ”
"Lord!"
Without waiting for Liu Qi to speak, Cai Mao stepped out again: "It's just a few hundred homeless people, and my subordinates think that it is enough to allocate three hundred infantry troops to the eldest prince!" ”
"This ......" Liu Biao hesitated.
Cai Mao was in a hurry, and wanted to persuade again, but Liu Qi suddenly spoke: "Needless to say, father, three hundred foot soldiers are indeed enough!" ”
Cai Mao sneered when she heard this, this is your own death, no wonder me!
Liu Biao was also very disappointed, thinking that it was such a time, but Liu Qi was still dying to save face and refused to turn to his father.
Sure enough, it's not as good as Cong'er.
"Okay, then give you three hundred foot soldiers, and set off in five days!"
Liu Qi took the order and left, leaving a room of sighs.
"Alas, Childe is still too young."
"What's so important about face at this time, you have to save your life first."
"It seems that the second son is still more talented."
Liu Cong stood at the bottom and secretly exchanged glances with Cai Mao, and they both saw the smiles in each other's eyes.
This is the road in heaven that you don't take, and there is no door to hell for you to break into!
