Chapter 393: Liu Qi Liu Cong
Xiangyang City, among the governor's mansions.
It was also Liu Biao's mansion in Xiangyang, but Liu Biao personally led the army to Nanyang, blocking the Qin army led by Qin Yin personally, and did not stay in the state pastor's mansion.
Now in the state governor's mansion, Liu Biao's two sons, Liu Cong and Liu Qi, are in charge, and they are also the principals in Xiangyang City today.
After learning the news of the arrival of Huang Zhong leading 10,000 Qin troops.
He summoned a group of Liu Biao's subordinates in the city to discuss countermeasures.
Although Liu Biao personally went to Nanyang to face Qin Yin, in Xiangyang City, he still left many people to assist Liu Cong and Liu Qi, including Zhang Yun, Pang Ji, Liu Xian and others.
Liu Biao has not forgotten the safety of Xiangyang City.
Even if many people were transferred to deal with the Qin troops who came to attack from all over the place, some people were still left in Xiangyang City in case anything changed.
At this time, it is also the time for these people who remain to make a difference.
Wait until everyone gathers in the governor's house.
"Ladies and gentlemen, now that the Qin army has arrived outside the city, and those who are still camped outside the city, according to the letter sent back by my father, they should stick to the city, and there are only 10,000 Qin troops who have come, as long as they are prepared, they can keep Xiangyang, and I hope you can help me defend Xiangyang!" Liu Qi stood up and bowed to everyone.
He is Liu Biao's eldest son, and it is also his duty to guard Xiangyang City.
Hear Liu Qi's words.
Zhang Yun and the others haven't spoken yet, but someone has stood up to oppose it.
"Brother, I don't approve of stubbornly defending, besides, my brother said that it is only a mere 10,000 Qin troops, but our army has 30,000 people, so why be afraid?"
"Thinking that the Qin army came from Nanyang, they were already exhausted, and they didn't know that General Huang had already led 30,000 soldiers from Jiangxia to arrive, and they would be able to arrive tonight, and at that time, as long as we should cooperate with the outside, we would be able to wipe out the 10,000 Qin troops outside the city in one fell swoop, and solve the current predicament."
"The art of war is cloudy, and the best defense is offense! Therefore, I think we should gather soldiers and horses and attack the Qin army camp tonight! ”
A teenager with a similar appearance to Liu Qi retorted.
Everyone sees it as Liu Qi's younger brother Liu Cong, who is also Liu Biao's second son and the son born to Mrs. Cai.
Obviously, the opinions of the two brothers are different.
Liu Qi frowned, and wanted to say something, but before he could open his mouth, among the people present, someone stood up.
"The subordinates agreed with what the second prince said, when General Huang led 30,000 soldiers to arrive, our army will have 60,000 people, no matter how brave the Qin army is, it is difficult to resist the attack of our army, if this Qin army can be eliminated, it can also hit the arrogance of the Qin army fiercely, and increase the morale of our army."
"And the Qin army is attacking my Jingzhou land, the situation everywhere is not optimistic, if there is a big victory, it can also change the current status quo!"
Zhang Yun also stood up, analyzed, and spoke before Liu Qi, supporting Liu Cong's words.
He is Cai Mao's nephew, and Liu Cong was born to Cai Mao's sister Mrs. Cai, according to interests, he will support Liu Cong, let Liu Cong inherit Liu Biao's position, instead of supporting Liu Qi.
"But this is my father's arrangement!" A trace of anger flashed in Liu Qi's eyes and shouted.
He is aware of his current situation in Jingzhou.
Since Liu Biao took Mrs. Cai, he got the support of the Cai family in Jingzhou, and the Cai family was in the Jingzhou family, which also allowed Liu Biao to stabilize his position in Jingzhou.
And he himself is similar to Liu Biao, and he is still favored by Liu Biao, but Liu Cong's birth, and Mrs. Cai often speaks ill of him in Liu Biao's ear.
also made him gradually disliked by Liu Biao.
And Cai Mao and others wanted Liu Biao to abolish him and support Liu Cong to become Liu Biao's heir.
All this, usually forget it, but I didn't expect that at such a moment of crisis, it was still like this, how could he not be angry, if there was a problem in Xiangyang, then...
"Brother, why be angry, the so-called generals are outside, and the military orders are not subject to it, and the situation is different now, of course, there should be different arrangements, if General Huang did not lead the army to come, I would definitely act according to my father's words, but this is not the case now!" Liu Cong said nonchalantly.
After speaking, he also secretly signaled to Zhang Yun.
After all, he is just a teenager, younger than Liu Qi, and he knows so much there, and all of this is arranged by someone.
Of course, in his heart, he didn't care.
"You..!" Liu Qi was furious, but he didn't say anything, looked at everyone present, and said, "What do you think?" ”
He knew that if he continued to argue, nothing would lead to him.
Although Liu Cong is against him, he is still his brother, and he also knows why Liu Cong has been against him, and he has nothing to do about it.
Now it depends on how many people there are, and they don't want to go out of the city to fight.
However.
"We agree with what the second son said!"
Most of the people present stood up and agreed with Liu Cong's words, obviously on Zhang Yun's side, and they all wanted to support Liu Cong's existence.
As for a small part, such as Pang Ji and others, they looked at each other and did not agree, but they did not object.
They knew that this was Liu Biao's family matter, and it was not something they could handle.
Moreover, they are only loyal to Liu Biao, not Liu Qi or Liu Cong, and they don't care who is the heir.
is not like Zhang Yun and others, who want Liu Cong as the heir.
This is also the idea of guaranteeing itself.
"Alright, well, then you can decide for yourselves!"
Liu Qi's face was angry, and as soon as he flicked his sleeves, he left directly, not wanting to see the faces of these people again.
Although he is the principal of Xiangyang City today, everyone here does not have anyone to support him, but to support Liu Cong, so he, the principal, is equivalent to nothing.
Because, even if he shows his identity, he can't let these people obey orders.
As for what the result will be, he doesn't want to think about it anymore, it's okay if he succeeds, but if he doesn't, that....
He didn't expect that Huang Zu, who was guarding Jiangxia, would lead his troops to come, according to Liu Biao's arrangement, now that Xiangyang has not yet reached a critical moment, he will not use Jiangxia's soldiers and horses.
Now that it's been used, there must be something unknown about it.
Wait until Liu Qi throws up his sleeves and leaves.
Zhang Yun and other people who supported Liu Cong also smiled.
Now when they help Liu Cong brush up his reputation, they won't let Liu Qi obstruct him, after all, Liu Qi has the identity of Liu Biao's eldest son, if Liu Cong doesn't do anything and wants to become the heir, it's still a bit troublesome.
And this time, the arrival of the Qin army has become an opportunity for them.
With 60,000 soldiers and horses, they didn't expect to fail.
