When Liu Qi heard this, he remembered the documents delivered by Kuai Yue, and hurriedly took them out of his sleeve and said urgently.

"This is my father's will. It says that Jingzhou will be handed over to me in the future, and my uncle will take care of political affairs with me! This proves it! ”

Zhuge Liang's brilliant eyes immediately burst out with two rays of light, and he secretly said in his heart.

"With this document, I can help the lord to win Jingzhou in the name of righteousness and use it as a foundation! But now, it still takes two people to make it happen. ”

After Zhuge Liang finished thinking about it, he cast a look at Liu Bei, Liu Bei comprehended, quickly took the document from Liu Qi's hand, opened it and read it, and it was exactly as Liu Qi said. Liu Biao established Liu Qi as the main and ordered him to assist Liu Qi and manage political affairs together. Liu Bei then gave Zhuge Liang a look, Zhuge Liang's expression froze, and then he said again.

"This document confirms that what the eldest prince said before is true. The stakes are big, and Kong Ming has to be offended. I hope that the eldest prince will not mind. ”

"Sir, there is no need to say more, this is about the orthodoxy of Jingzhou, and it is also the reason why Mr. is so cautious."

Zhuge Liang gave a gift to make amends, and Liu Qi hurriedly returned the salute. Zhuge Liang then said again.

"My lord is deeply favored by Liu Jingzhou, and the two are blood brothers, how can they see that Jingzhou will be in chaos and sit idly by. Kong Ming implored the lord to send troops to Jingzhou, help the eldest prince, and restore Jingzhou's orthodoxy! ”

Liu Bei listened to this, but he showed a little unbearable embarrassment, and said something.

"Kong Ming misunderstood me. I don't want to send troops to Jingzhou, but I hope to rush to Jingzhou with my nephew in person, stabilize the overall situation first, and tell the ministers of Jingzhou what my brother wants, so as not to fall into the hands of the Cai family! ”

"Never! The Cai family has a lot of power, if the lord does not bring a soldier and rushes there in person, he will be harmed! ”

"But if I send troops in, there will inevitably be war. Even if the people of Jingzhou will suffer from the disaster of war, I really can't bear it! I would rather die than do anything that harms the people!" ”

Liu Bei's face was straight, and his words could be said righteously. Zhuge Liang's face changed again and again, and ripples rippled in his heart. Liu Bei is so benevolent and righteous, Zhuge Liang is even more convinced that he is a benevolent lord who loves the people.

In fact, Zhuge Liang, although he was under Liu Bei, the so-called acquaintance did not know his heart. Zhuge Liang was afraid that Liu Bei was the hypocrite, and he never dared to help. After nearly half a year of getting along, Zhuge Liang gradually confirmed that Liu Bei was the choice of the master in his heart.

Zhuge Liang didn't say anything about his worries for the time being.

At this time, he heard what Liu Bei said, so he pretended to be helpless and sighed.

"Then we will deliberate."

Seeing this, Liu Qi persuaded him again and again. Liu Bei was firm in his mind and refused to listen to persuasion. He had a clear attitude, if he went to Jingzhou, he would not bring soldiers and horses. But if Liu Bei didn't bring soldiers and horses, Zhuge Liang would not let Liu Bei take risks. Liu Qi had no choice but to be in a hurry. Later, Pan and Zhang heard about this and felt that this was a good time to seize Jingzhou, the two were Liu Bei's brothers, and they hoped that Liu Bei could take Jingzhou as the foundation, and the two came to look for Liu Bei, but they were angrily scolded by Liu Bei and left in shame.

Pan and Zhang couldn't persuade Liu Bei, and wanted Zhuge Liang to be resourceful, Liu Bei had always obeyed his words, so they came to Zhuge Liang to discuss. Zhuge Liang was not in a hurry, stroked the goose feather fan, and said softly.

"The two generals don't have to be impatient. Wait for the two of them, and the lord will be willing to take Jingzhou! ”

Zhuge Liang said lightly, Pan Feng and Zhang Fei were confused, but when they saw Zhuge Liang's strategizing and confident appearance, the two asked in unison.

"Who are the two of them that the military advisor is talking about?"

"Don't say. Can't say. ”

The corners of Zhuge Liang's mouth turned up, he chuckled mysteriously, and walked away. Pan and Zhang glanced at each other, they had long been accustomed to Zhuge Liang being so mysterious, but Zhuge Liang was so determined, which meant that the world situation was now under his control. Pan and Zhang were very determined, thinking that Zhuge Liang had said that Liu Bei would take Jingzhou soon, and they were also very excited, and the two went back separately, trained their soldiers and horses, and waited for the war.

Just when Liu Bei was hesitating, Liu Qi saw that time was passing day by day, and he was so anxious that he was burning his brows. Suddenly, Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang came to Jingzhou with a team of slaves.

Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang brothers, both of whom are superior in talent and strategy, one is a special driver in Jingzhou, in charge of government affairs, and the other is a military advisor in Jingzhou, responsible for making suggestions and marching to fight military affairs. The two brothers can be said to be the first of the scribes and ministers in Jingzhou, and they are highly used by Liu Biao.

At present, Pan, Zhang Zheng and Zhuge Liang are discussing the upcoming war, and suddenly heard that someone in Jingzhou has come to see them. Zhuge Liang smiled indifferently and said to Pan and Zhang.

"This must be the two brothers Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang to see. All is better! Two generals, come with me to see the lord. Later, you don't have to say more, but look at my eyes. My eyes are together, and you wait like this. ”

Zhuge Liang, Pan and Zhang handed over a while, and the two of them bowed their heads again and again, keeping them in mind at the moment. Subsequently, Zhuge Liang, Pan Feng and Zhang Fei rushed to the county hall.

I happened to hear that the two brothers Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang were announcing the documents, and the content of the two documents was that Liu Biao had an order to transfer the 20,000 soldiers and horses from Xinye, and at the same time temporarily dismissed Liu Qi from his post as the county guard of Jiangxia, and asked him to rush back to Jingzhou immediately and wait by the side.

When Zhang Fei heard this, he immediately became angry, and he was about to shout. Pan Feng immediately stopped it, signaling him to see Zhuge Liang deal with it first, and not to act rashly and miss a big thing. Zhang Fei gritted his teeth violently, and held back at first.

Liu Bei and Liu Qi's faces changed drastically and took the paperwork. At this time, Zhuge Liang stepped in, and Pan Feng and Zhang Fei followed behind him.

"Huh. The two Ming dukes must be tired from a long journey, so I have sent someone to clean a clean house in the city, and ask the two Ming dukes to rest first. When the banquet is set up tonight, invite the two Ming princes to drink the banquet and wash the dust for it. ”

Zhuge Liang chuckled and saluted. Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang frowned, and their expressions were different. Kuai Yue's eyes were solemn, as if he had something on his mind, and he wanted to speak and stopped. And Kuai Liang's eyes had an inexplicable look of pain, and at the same time, he seemed to have some concerns, and he didn't want to stay in Xinye longer.

Zhuge Liang saw the changes in the expressions of the two of them, and without waiting for Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang to answer, he ordered the left and right arrangements. Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang were not easy to refuse, and after bidding farewell to Liu Bei, they left with the soldiers.

Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang just left, Liu Qi couldn't help but be anxious anymore, and knelt down to Liu Bei.

"Uncle! It would not have been possible for my father to issue such documents, but these two letters must have been written by the man of Cai Mao! Presumably, my father has been controlled by him at this time, and if my uncle does not send troops again, how can he regret it!? ”

Liu Bei let out a long sigh and said to Liu Qi.

"Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang are both important ministers in Jingzhou, and the two brothers are both famous people in Jingzhou, and this time the two brothers made an order, how can this be fake? What's more, you are the Son of Man, and now that my brother is in danger, it is reasonable for you to go back and wait! ”

"But why, my father wants to take away my uncle's military power!?"

Liu Qi seemed to have hit Liu Bei's sore spot, Liu Bei trembled all over, and said bitterly.

"Maybe my brother saw that his life was on the verge and listened to the previous rumors, and he was afraid that I would take the opportunity to seize Jingzhou, so he would take away my military power."

As soon as Liu Bei's words fell, Zhuge Liang silently cast a glance at Pan Feng, Pan Feng comprehended, and immediately stepped forward and said in a condensed voice.

"My brother's words are wrong. According to my brother's opinion, this must be Cai Dejun's secret manipulation! ”

Liu Bei saw that it was Pan Feng, his expression froze, and then he asked again.

"How can the second brother see it?"

"Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang are both from the world. The generations of the clan have always put the interests of their clan first. Now Jingzhou is about to be in chaos, and the Cai family controls Jingzhou. Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang, for the interests of the Bao family, so they were under Cai Mao. ”

"Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang are both loyal and righteous people, how could they do such a rebellious thing!"

"Brother, don't forget the old Xuzhou Chen Yua

Dragon's Thing. At the beginning, Chen Yua

In order to protect the interests of his clan, Long turned against Cao Cao and took refuge in Cao Cao, so his brother lost Xuzhou. Today's Erkuai is just like Chen Yua in the past

Dragon! ”

The loss of Xuzhou has always been a pain in Liu Bei's heart. As soon as Pan Feng said this, Liu Bei's face changed drastically. At this moment, Zhuge Liang cast a look at Zhang Fei again.

Zhang Fei immediately shouted.

"Brother, why bother thinking about it, brother, I'm going to find that pair of brothers, interrogate, and find out what the truth is!!"

Zhang Feihuan's eyes widened, and he said that he would do it, and he was about to leave. Liu Bei hurriedly ordered Pan Feng to stop him and scolded sharply.

"This is a reckless act! The second brother is both important ministers in Jingzhou, if the third brother is like this, he will only trap me in unkindness and injustice! ”

Zhuge Liang had been secretly observing the situation, and at this time, his face suddenly froze, and he stepped out and saluted.

"The Lord is angry. If the lord really received the order and handed over 20,000 soldiers and horses to Erkuai, Xinye's troops would be empty. At that time, Cai Mao really has bad intentions, and Xinye will be in danger. The three generals were therefore worried, and it was understandable that they acted straightforwardly. Liang had secretly looked at Erkuai's face just now, and found that there was a lot of weirdness in it. Therefore, Liang also felt that there must be an unspeakable and amazing secret in this! ”

Liu Bei was shocked when he heard this, and quickly asked Zhuge Liang.

"And what should I do?"

"Liangguan Erkuai, both of them are hiding things in their hearts, the lord might as well give it a try and see if he can find out the hearts of the two?"

"According to Kong Ming, how should I go about it?"

Zhuge Liang had already thought about it, and turned his eyes to look at Liu Qi. Immediately, everyone also turned their eyes to it. Zhuge Liang then taught this and this, and after everyone listened to it, they all felt that Zhuge Liang's plan was wonderful. So they did what they had planned, and each one made preparations.

That night, Liu Bei sent someone to invite Erkui to come to the mansion for a banquet. Everyone sat down, Zhuge Liang, Pan Feng, and Zhang Fei frequently toasted to Erkuai, but Erkui couldn't resist it and drank a lot.

After three rounds of drinking, the two brothers were drunk, and the two brothers looked at each other, wanting to leave under the pretext of relieving themselves. Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang glanced at each other, and comprehended, and Zhuge Liang cast a look at the soldiers hidden behind the screen.

Then Erkuai just left, walked to the backyard and was about to go out of the back door. Suddenly, the wind blew up, and a black shadow flew by. Erkui was shocked, fixed his eyes, but he didn't see it, they all thought that they were drunk and dazzled, and they were about to step.

A hurricane hit, and the door next to it slammed and opened abruptly. I saw a person dressed in white with a cloak and hair, and the white clothes were stained with blood, I don't know if it was a person or a ghost, and I stretched out my hands and screamed and walked slowly towards Erkuai.

Erkui was so frightened that his soul flew away, he ran away, turned into the back hall, and saw that Liu Bei and others were still drinking and feasting. Liu Bei saw that Erkuai's face was pale and asked what was going on. The second confessed the past, Zhuge Liang said with a chuckle.
