Three days later, on Chen's birthday, Liu Qi asked Liu Biao to hold a banquet in the Grand Prince's Mansion, inviting the best chefs in Jingzhou to feast on the major families and important ministers of Jingzhou.

It was the first time that Chen's birthday was presided over by his son, which was both relieved and disappointed.

It is gratifying that his son has not forgotten to be filial to his mother, and what is lost is that Liu Biao has never presided over it in person after all.

Just when Hanshou Mansion was full of lights to celebrate the birthday of Mrs. Zhou Mu, an inconspicuous spy crossed the border and entered the Yuzhou Thorn History Mansion......

Two days later, Sun Ben, the assassin of Yuzhou, gathered troops and horses and made a gesture to go south.

"Bo Fu, are you really not going?" Sun Ben pointed to the first cold-faced handsome guy, "I've found out, the Yancheng army is empty, and Liu Qi is a powerless wreck, it's a good time to avenge my uncle!" ”

Sun Ce was full of disapproval: "If you want to avenge your father, wouldn't it be better to take Jiangling and take the head of Huang Zu?" That battle was clearly commanded by Liu Jingzhou, but suddenly it was Liu Qi's idea, and he specially let us know that Yancheng was empty. Cousin, I always felt that something was wrong. ”

It turned out that a few days ago, the spies under Sun Ben's command suddenly got the news that Liu Qi, the culprit who had the idea to let Huang Zu shoot Sun Jian, was currently stationed in Yancheng.

The defenders of Yancheng only have a few hundred people, among which there are many old, weak, sick and disabled, Liu Qi himself is a dead student, and he will not lead troops to fight.

Sun Ben was excited, and immediately reported to Yuan Shu, wanting to attack Yancheng to avenge Sun Jian.

Yuan Shu was having a headache about the war in the Central Plains, and he didn't have time to care about Sun Ben's careful thoughts, so he only asked him to pay attention to the point and not to ignite a big war with Jingzhou.

So Sun Ben ordered 6,000 soldiers, all of whom were Sun Jian's former old subordinates, ready to send troops to Yancheng.

Unexpectedly, his cousin Sun Ce, who came to him, actually disagreed.

"Bo Fu, you're just too cautious." Sun Ben frowned, "Regardless of whether that Liu Qi has anything to do with my uncle's death, let's kill him and let that Liu Biao also taste the taste of losing his beloved son, what's wrong?" ”

"Uncle praised you for your courage many times before his death, how did you keep filial piety for a few years, but you became a mother-in-law and mother-in-law!"

Sun Ce sighed.

This cousin is good at everything, but his brain is lacking.

He didn't want to think about when the news would come badly, and he would be born at such a time.

If what he expected was right, it should be related to the infighting in Jingzhou.

Even if Liu Qi is really a person who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, Yancheng is indeed empty, and he can be killed easily.

But when the time comes, the lone army will go deeper, and the Jingzhou army will really have no backhand?

If the lord is free, he doesn't have to worry, but now the lord is annoyed by Yuan Shao and Yang Zhan, and once something happens, I'm afraid that he won't be able to send reinforcements at all!

Besides, what's the use of taking down a wild goose city, you can't hold it at all.

If you want to take revenge, you might as well fight Jiangxia!

Sun Ce is brave, but he is not a brainless reckless man!

What he scruples about is not Liu Qi, but Liu Biao behind him, and Yang Zhan, who is already eyeing Yuzhou.

Liu Qi is not afraid, but it is not feasible to look down on Liu Biao.

However, Yuan Shu gave all his father's old troops to Sun Ben, and he only had dozens of personal soldiers under his command, and he had no military power at all, and no one would listen to him.

In desperation, Sun Ce had no choice but to say: "Then ask my brother to go first, and leave a group of people for my younger brother." If there is a change in the battle in Yancheng, my brother should go to the rescue in time. Again, you have to guard against Yang Zhan. ”

Sun Ben hesitated for a while, thinking that it was safer, so he agreed.

It's just that I'm still a little dissatisfied: "Bo Fu, you have to change your temperament, how can you be like a little girl!" ”

Sun Ce smiled bitterly.

When he was in his hometown, he was also called "brave and resourceless" by Zhou Gongjin because he was too lonely and brave and unwilling to curry favor with others.

Now in the eyes of this cousin, she has actually become a little lady!

It seems that this cousin really doesn't know how to fight.

Can't continue to work hard in Yuzhou, after the end of this battle, you have to find a way to get out, otherwise under such a Hanhan, when will there be a chance to make contributions?

The next day, Sun Ben ordered Sun Ce to lead 3,000 troops to garrison Yuzhou as a backup, and he led 6,000 elite soldiers from Sun Jian's old army, divided into several batches, and marched towards Yancheng.

……

The Yuzhou garrison is not very far from Yancheng, and the army can be reached in about ten days.

Cai Mao and others fought with the idea of killing people with a knife, and when they received the military report, they treated it as if it didn't happen, and they didn't report it at all.

Anyway, 6,000 people is not a big problem for Jingzhou at all, even if the incident happens in the future, it can be pushed to be the enemy, and it is difficult to find out if the enemy is lightly armed and marches from a small force.

Coincidentally, when Cai Mao and the others had a headache and asked Liu Qi to hurry back to Yancheng, Liu Qi took the initiative to bring up the matter.

"You say, you want to profit from the trade in soybean oil to the family?" Liu Biao frowned, not very approving, "If you are short of money, tell your father that you can't indulge in the grape." ”

He may have thought that Liu Qi wanted to run a business, and although the status of merchants in the late Han Dynasty was not as low as that of later generations, it was also the lowest among the Shinong industry and commerce.

If the Kuai family is in business, Kuai Liang and others will not get their hands dirty.

Of course, Liu Biao is also the same, and he will not want to see his son go to business.

Liu Qi had expected this to be the case, and smiled firmly: "Father, the child wants to cooperate with those families, first, it is for money, but this is only a small part, it is more for wooing and controlling, who in the world can receive all kinds of news in the first time?" Who will get ahead of us in the layout? Only the Maison. ”

"If there is a big chaos today, there is a shortage of grain and oil everywhere, if at this time, my Jingzhou businessmen can sell grain and oil at parity or low prices in various parts of the Central Plains, and in the long run, the people of the Central Plains will eat all my Jingzhou grain...... Aren't my father's eyes all over the world? If the family's business is all from Jingzhou, not to mention the wealth of Jingzhou, when we have friction with our opponents, which side do you say they will stand on? ”

Liu Biao was stunned, but he was still very hesitant: "Why don't you know what you said about being a father, it's just that the Central Plains is short of grain, so I'm not short of Jingzhou?" Food is a military need that cannot be moved lightly, oil, but it can let you try, as for the formula of cement has been strictly monitored, you should also pay attention to it, do not spread it, although it is easy to manufacture, but it is indeed a heavy weapon when used well, you can cooperate, but you must control it in your own hands. ”

Liu Qi is not reluctant, anyway, just let him go and contact the family, as for what to sell or not, when the business is opened, it is not his final say.

"Thank you, father."

"Well, but you try it yourself, don't try it for your father." Liu Biao smiled slyly, "It's up to you to cooperate with any company you want, as long as you can talk about it." However, the father shall account for 20% of the money obtained from the business. ”

Liu Qi was dumbfounded: "......"

This is a white wolf with empty gloves, it's awesome to my father!

But what else, Liu Qi could only nod obediently: "The child should be filial to his father." ”

So, two days later, Liu Qi took Huo Quai, Li Cunxiao and others, and returned to Yancheng with light clothes.

Not only for business, but also for Sun Ben's 6,000 soldiers and horses.

Liu Wenjing borrowed Cai Mao's hand to send him such a large share of military merits, how could he do it without squeezing out the benefits?

After Cai Mao knew about the conversation between Liu Biao's father and son, she sneered at the family members who came to report the news.

"My life is gone, and I still want to make money!"
