Chapter 040: Small Actions
"Cai Mao is a demon again?"
There is no need to talk to Kuai Liang too much, Liu Qi blurted out.
Kuai Liang smiled: "My subordinates did hear some rumors, but it has nothing to do with General Cai, if I guessed correctly, it was probably about Liu Junlang in Yizhou." ”
Liu Yan?
Liu Qi perked up: "Specifically! ”
"It's not a big deal, didn't Childe have expected it a long time ago, Liu Junlang fought in the north and south when he was young, and his body couldn't bear it for a long time. Half a month ago, the spies in Yizhou came with the news that they were seriously ill and unconscious. ”
And what's going on?
Liu Qi was puzzled, history only recorded that Liu Yan would die of illness next year, but he never mentioned the specific condition, why did he suddenly fall unconscious?
You must know that in this era, being seriously ill and unconscious is basically equivalent to a death sentence!
If it is true, it is very likely that next year will not be Liu Yan's real death date, but Yizhou deliberately concealed it.
I don't know what happened to the spies of the White Army sent to Yizhou, and there has been no news......
Liu Qi rubbed his eyebrows: "Father is interested in Yizhou?" ”
It's not just intentional, it's just a dream!
It's a pity that I don't have enough skills, and I almost broke my teeth just thinking about it.
Kuai Liang smiled: "Childe is different now, such a big event, so you naturally want to invite you back to discuss matters." ”
Anyway, it's happened.
Liu Qi nodded: "Pack up your things, I'll leave immediately." Yancheng will be handed over to Mr. ”
No matter what whims Liu Biao has, there are two or five boys like Liu Cong, plus Cai Mao and Zhang Yun who never forget to make trouble, this time when he returns to Hanshou Mansion, Li Cunxiao will bring it with him.
"I will explain to Mr. Xiaokuan and Xiaokuan, and Yancheng will deal with all matters up to Mr."
Kuai Liang solemnly: "I will live up to the trust of the lord!" ”
……
Hanshou Mansion, Cai Mansion Study.
Liu Cong sat paralyzed without an image, and his face was unconvinced: "Uncle, why should you let the eldest brother do such a big credit!" ”
"Merit?" Cai Mao smiled, "The second son thinks it's a credit?" ”
"Isn't it? That Liu Yan was unconscious, and his father had already agreed with Gan Ning, Shen Mi, Lou Fa and other generals that they would surrender as soon as our army arrived. Let the eldest brother lead the troops, not to give him the credit of picking up for nothing! ”
said that he wanted to call Liu Qi back to Jingzhou Mansion to participate in the court meeting, but it was impossible to really wait.
After a few days of hard work, in fact, the general direction has been finalized, and only the details are still waiting for Liu Qi to return to discuss.
Speaking of this, Liu Cong's stomach was full of fire: "But you are my own uncle, how can you turn your elbow out!" ”
That was a great achievement in opening up the territory, which was completely different from the so-called "war exploits" in which he occasionally went to suppress a bandit and mix up a few heads. Thinking that such a good thing would actually fall on Liu Qi's head, Liu Cong was simply a hundred unwilling.
If it weren't for Cai Mao's always being strong, and Liu Cong was a little in awe of this uncle, I'm afraid he would have scolded him now!
Cai Mao rubbed her forehead, full of sun.
The second son Liu Cong is a hundred times stronger than the eldest son Liu Qi, in fact, only Cai Mao and other henchmen know, when it comes to vision and open-mindedness, Liu Cong is not even as good as the original Liu Qi who only knows how to read to death!
Not to mention, now Liu Qi doesn't know what medicine he took wrong, but he is getting better and better day by day.
On the other hand, Liu Cong is still a waste for ten years, if he hadn't kept the blood of his Cai family, Cai Mao would have split his heart!
However, the reason why this is the case is also the result of the intentional cultivation of Cai Mao and others.
After all, Cai Mao's support for Liu Cong's ascension to the throne was just to support a puppet for the Cai family in Jingzhou, and it was of course better than a cowardly and obedient puppet compared to the wise and martial lord.
There's no way, the bear children who were taught by themselves have to be assisted while kneeling......
Cai Mao said tiredly: "Second son, are you so easy to take Yizhou?" Liu Junlang has been operating in Yizhou for many years, and he has long managed it like an iron bucket. Although his son Liu Zhang is not as good as his father, he is also deeply popular with the army and the people. ”
"Otherwise, why would the lord wait until now to move, he only rebelled against a few less important generals. And don't send troops, just send some people over to respond? ”
Cai Mao said bitterly: "The lord is just picking up leaks, and he doesn't want to fight with Yizhou at all!" ”
That Gan Ning, Shen Mi, and Lou Fa are just the guards of the marginal towns, and they are not the core figures of Yizhou at all, let alone confidants, Liu Yan doesn't necessarily remember these names.
"If those three people really have the ability, they can let me get a few cities in Jingzhou for nothing, and it would be good to have a gateway to Shu. Even if it doesn't work, Jingzhou has never sent troops after all, even if Liu Yan wakes up, he won't tear his face with us. ”
"What's the use of all this?" Liu Cong rolled his eyes, "Even if it doesn't necessarily work, what if it happens?" Anyway, it's just a trip to take the soldiers, why not do the business that makes sure you don't lose money! ”
Cai Mao finally couldn't help it, and sneered: "Steady profit or loss? The second son thinks that if he wants to pay for his life, is it considered 'no compensation'? ”
Liu Cong didn't believe it: "Don't you say that you are gambling casually, what's the danger?" ”
"The lord is willing to gamble, but is Liu Zhang a dead man?" Cai Mao snorted coldly, "Now that Liu Junlang is in a coma, Yizhou is the time when people's hearts are unstable, Liu Zhang is in need of Liwei, and once Gan Ning is exposed, it will be a good whetstone!" The lord is a little wishful thinking this time. ”
"Second son, I won't hide it from you, the original lord didn't plan to send a general over at all, just send a partial general. It was my strong recommendation from Zhang Yun and me, so I said that I would move the lord and send the eldest prince forward. ”
"Why...... Jingzhou and Yizhou are adjacent to each other and have been in contact with each other for many years. ”
Cai Mao stared at Liu Cong: "Now, the second prince still thinks that the eldest son is taking advantage?" ”
Having said that, Liu Cong still doesn't understand that it's really stupid.
This is to emulate the bandits in Yancheng at the beginning, so that Liu Qi died outside in no apparent way!
"Uncle's good strategy!" Liu Cong was happy at first, and then worried, "But what if Liu Zhang is a waste and let the eldest brother really occupy the city?" ”
Cai Mao picked up the teacup and seemed to smile: "Who can know before the results come out......
As long as you go out of the boundary of Jingzhou, if you don't die, how to die, it is not something that Liu Biao can control.
Liu Cong saw that his uncle had already made a decision, so he didn't dare to say anything, but buried his head under the teacup, and his expression was uncertain.
……
The next day, Liu Qi took Li Cunxiao, Huo Qubing and three hundred Yulin cavalry to Hanshou Mansion.
Li Cunxiao is the commander of his personal guard and is responsible for personal security.
And bringing Huo Qubing and three hundred Yulin cavalry was Liu Wenjing's suggestion.
After arriving at Hanshou Mansion, Liu Qi went to see Liu Biao first, and did not say anything serious, but mentioned his biological mother Chen.
"The child has not seen his mother for a long time, and he misses it a little." Facing Liu Biao's dissatisfied eyes, Liu Qi still explained, "It will be my mother's birthday in a few days, and I must make some preparations." ”
