The ancients said that "those who know the times are handsome", obviously in Liu Bei's eyes, Liu Qi is this person who knows the times. And at this moment, when he looks at Liu Qi, how does he feel pleasing to the eye. Indeed, if Liu Qi didn't say this, or pretended to be stupid, then Liu Bei would definitely not have this idea at this time.

Seeing his uncle's satisfied look, Liu Qi did have a big stone in his heart that fell to the ground. After all, for him, he is really self-aware, how can he be Cao Cao's opponent on his side? Therefore, only by getting the protection of his uncle, he may be able to live in Jingzhou better. As for finding refuge with others, is that possible? Liu Qi didn't even think about it, because in his thoughts, only his uncle could protect himself.

――

Otherwise, it's just impossible. Other than that, he really couldn't think of a reason why his uncle wanted to kill him. After all, he also understands that only by living can he bring more and greater benefits to Liu Xuande. So even I know it, I understand it, my uncle. Can he still not know.

"These are the things that the little nephew does, the things that are within the petty nephew! It should be done! The Liangzhou army has been in Koujingzhou for a long time. Now he is here to deal with his uncle, and the little nephew is reasonable. They should all fight to the death with the Liangzhou army! ”

This is indeed Liu Qi's true words, because at this moment, he has to be like this. Speaking of which, with less than 20,000 Jingzhou troops, it is not so much that he can add some bargaining chips to himself, but rather that it also makes his uncle a little wary of himself. After all, his uncle is not like the Yanzhou Army and the Liangzhou Army, there are so many people. So can you still not add pressure to him?

But I can't help it, I can't let these people disband on the spot.

So the best outcome now is. Let them fight to the death with Ma Chao's Liangzhou army, and in the end there were countless casualties, which can be regarded as a surrender to their uncle, and they can also make their uncle more at ease.

So Liu Qi had already had such an idea before, and obviously he made the right move, very right. Liu Bei still wants him to have this attitude, like this. So at this moment, he was even more happy and said to Liu Qi: "The virtuous nephew treats me like this." I will live up to my nephew! ”

The meaning of this sentence could not be simpler, no one else was present, and the two of them could be said to be tacit. Liu Bei's words are actually equivalent to saying to Liu Qi clearly. As long as you don't betray me and don't do anything that makes me have to kill you, then I will definitely not touch you. Because whether it's from Liu Biao. Or somewhere else, I Liu Bei won't kill you. So keep you safe!

This Liu Bei meant, but he definitely can't say that. But Liu Qi understands everything, understands everything, there is nothing difficult to understand-

On the second day, Ma Chao didn't let his side attack, and he couldn't attack, after all, Jiangling's defensive force was too strong, and it was not an exaggeration to say that the defensive forces he had encountered over the years were among the top three, this is a fact. Together, there are more than 30,000 people, so isn't this the top three guarding forces?

In the next three days, Ma Chao still stood still, not because he didn't want to enter the army, but because the follow-up people hadn't kept up, so this person was not enough, how could he attack others? Just like the previous words, when there are not enough people and horses, to attack such a city with defensive power can only make the world see a joke.

Really, it's true, Ma Chao believes that with more than 20,000 people now, it is estimated that it will be given seconds by others, but it is almost the same. Even if you think that your own combat strength is good, but how many people defend the city, to put it mildly, even if everyone spits on it, it is actually a lot-

Cao Ren and Lu Su definitely did not follow the same path, but they met in Changsha. After meeting, several people looked at each other and laughed, obviously, everything was silent. In their own words, this can be regarded as "the same thing that heroes see".

In Changsha County, under the city of Xiangnan, on the left side is the Yanzhou army camp led by Cao Ren and Guo Huai. And they are not far away, which is equivalent to being next to each other, that is, the Jiangdong Army led by Lu Su and Zhang Liao. Although it can be regarded as a clear distinction, but if you look closely, in fact, the two sides are echoing each other, as long as one side is attacked, then the other side will definitely come to the rescue.

At this moment, Lu Su and Zhang Liao were guests in the Yanzhou army camp, in Cao Ren's Chinese army tent, Cao Ren, Guo Huai, Niu Jin, Lu Su and Zhang Liao, the five of them were discussing how to enter the army in the big tent. After all, both of them have already arrived in Shonan, so speaking of which, everyone must want to get this city, but in the end, only one side can occupy it. So how to attack, and how to distribute the city in the end, this is really a problem.

Therefore, Cao Ren listened to Guo Huai's words, and asked the soldiers to invite Lu Su and the two, just to discuss what to do before this. And obviously, his approach can be regarded as playing into the hands of Lu Su and the others, and they came over without hesitation-

Cao Ren said to Lu Su and Zhang Liao at this time: "Mr. Zijing, Wen Yuan, the current situation. It's our army that must occupy this Shonan City, I don't know what the two of you think? Or rather. What price do you want our army to pay, and you are willing to cede Shonan to our army! ”

Cao Ren was simply at this time. directly said it to Lu Su and Zhang Liao. In fact, this is also what Guo Huai told him to do. Because Guo Huai knows better, whether it is Lu Su or Zhang Liao, they are actually more simple two people, so at this time, don't hide it, or say it a little bit, it's useless. Therefore, it is better to be so direct "face to face gong, opposite to drum". Isn't that better than anything else.

Sure enough, when Lu Su listened to Cao Ren's words, he just smiled, but this smile actually contained a lot. For him, he does like Cao Ren crisply. After all, whether it is his own side or his Yanzhou army now, it can be said that there are a lot of things, so instead of arguing here. It's better to study it carefully, how to take the entire Changsha County, this is the most important thing-

So after he heard Cao Ren say this, he was still satisfied. So Lu Su thought. Since Cao Ren said this to himself, then don't beat around the bush, it's really boring.

Therefore. After Lu Su glanced at Zhang Liao, he said directly: "General Cao." General Guo, and this General Niu. The three of them have already seen the current situation, and since our army has also arrived in Shonan, then this is naturally based on this city. But General Cao didn't say that he wanted to monopolize this southern Shonan, which was really ......"

Lu Su means that you and I are both here at the same time, so you want to monopolize the benefits, is this reasonable?

But as soon as Cao Ren heard it, he said: "This Mr. Zijing, didn't I say it before, what do you want, as long as our army can do it, you will put it forward, and it's not that it can't be solved, isn't it?" ”

Lu Su and Zhang Liao smiled, in fact, they didn't say that they had to occupy southern Hunan, but if they didn't get a little benefit from Cao Ren, it would really not be right-

So I heard Lu Su say again: "Since General Cao has said so, then he is not hypocritical, and the two requests, as long as the general agrees, then there is no problem!" ”

Cao Ren nodded and said, "Okay, I want to hear about it!" ”

I heard what Lu Su said, "This is the first, that is, since General Cao wants to fight in southern Hunan alone, this is nothing, but it can only be sent by the general." If the general insists that our army also send troops to help, it is not impossible, but our sergeants can't die in vain, right? ”

When Cao Ren and Guo Huai heard this, they all understood, the first one, what Lu Su said was that if they didn't send troops, they would attack southern Hunan on their own side. Either he wants them to help him, but he has to give them benefits.

Cao Ren and Guo Huai glanced at each other, and Cao Ren said: "Since Mr. has ceded Xiangnan to our army, then naturally, it is time for our army to send troops alone, so I won't bother Mr." ”

When Lu Su heard this, he smiled and nodded, "Okay, so, then the second condition is ......"——

The second condition is to listen to Lu Su said: "I know that your army has occupied Youzhou before, which is a large state of horses, and General Cao also knows that there are not many horses in our army, so the soldiers are very envious of your soldiers!" ”

When Cao Ren heard it, what envy or not, to put it bluntly, he just wanted to rip off the bamboo! This is to make our army bleed, give you horses!

But now there is a request for someone, so Cao Ren knows that he must agree. So he asked tentatively, "How much does this gentleman want?" ”

Guo Huai, who was not far away, almost didn't fall down when he heard it. The heart said that my general, you are really not suitable for negotiation, and you ask how much people want, you don't let yourself be too active, aren't you? So Guo Huai hurriedly added: "Sir, what my general means is that Mr. thinks that in the current situation, how much does Mr. think is appropriate?" But there aren't many horses left in our army, and this gentleman should know! ”――

Guo Huai is not afraid of Lu Su and them opening their mouths, after all, no matter how much this is, they have to accept the reality, if it exceeds their own tolerance, then this matter will definitely not be able to be discussed. But he naturally also wanted Lu Su not to be too greedy, and the whole one was acceptable to everyone, which was the best. If it's really "asking for a sky-high price, pay back the money on the spot", then you have to dig it out until when.

After Lu Su heard Guo Huai's words, he made a gesture to Cao Ren and the others, and it was a gesture of one. But it's not the vertical one, it's the Arabic numerals, but the horizontal one, which the ancients naturally understood.

Seeing that Lu Su had a right index finger compared to one, before Cao Ren could speak, Guo Huai smiled and hurriedly said: "Sir, this is a hundred horses, for our army, it is not impossible to take it out, if it is ......"

As a result, before Guo Huai finished speaking, Lu Su smiled, interrupted his words, and said: "General Guo said that he was joking, everyone in the world knows that Youzhou is a big state that produces horses, and if there are only a hundred war horses, is it worthy of this reputation?" As I say, no more, no less, a thousand horses! ”――

When Guo Huai heard this, he rolled his eyes in his heart, and said in his heart that now that he has more than a thousand war horses here, it is almost enough. But you Lu Su are going to go all, give it all, and you can no longer be a cavalryman. Of course, there must be a lot of war horses in Youzhou, and I know this, but isn't it still in Youzhou, and now I am here, but there are really not many.

Besides, you Lu Su just opened your mouth widely, if you don't send troops, you just want a thousand war horses, why don't you go and grab them?

But he couldn't say this, he could only look at Cao Ren and give Cao Ren a look, which means general, you should say a few words.

Originally, Cao Ren saw that Lu Su was compared to one before, and he really thought it was a thousand horses, but as soon as he wanted to say, he was preempted by Guo Huai. (To be continued......)
