And Liu Ba also echoed: "Indeed, lord, what Yuan Zhi said is not bad at all, and his subordinates seconded it!"

Liu Bei nodded when he heard this, and then he said: "Since this is the case, both of you think so, then of course our army will not move at this time!" I want to see what he wants. I also hope that the Yanzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army can bring us some surprises! ”

Liu Bei was really sincere in front, yes, but everyone in the back could hear it, even if he said it casually, he really didn't expect the Yanzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army to do anything. For Liu Bei, they can't do anything about the Liangzhou Army, which is expected, but if there is really something unexpected, then it is really a surprise for themselves. But the odds are too slim.

Xu Shu and Liu Ba hurriedly said at this time: "The lord is wise! ”

Liu Bei smiled and waved his hand, "Okay, don't shoot the horse, inform the whole army, just say that our army will not move at this time, and we must pay close attention to the enemy's movements!" ”

"No!" ――

This matter is obviously for Xu Shu to do, Liu Bei did not let the soldiers go, after all, this made Xu Shu go, which was more convincing.

After Xu Shu went down, Liu Ba also announced his dismissal with his lord. And although Liu Bei was still worried at this time, he didn't want to think so much, after all, this was still "the soldiers came to block, and the water came to cover the earth". Their side is waiting to see what happens, because now it can only be like this, and it is impossible for them to take the initiative to send troops. Let's go attack the Liangzhou army, isn't that a joke.

Of course, Ma Chao didn't know Liu Bei's thoughts. In fact, even if he knew, it wouldn't be a big deal. For him. On his own side, he is waiting for reinforcements to come, and then he will attack Gangneung. Let's just say that the reinforcements have arrived, and I don't know when I will be able to break this Gangneung City, so let's not say that there are not so many people and horses. Therefore, Ma Chao naturally would not enter the army at this moment, because he knew that in that case, he would only make his own side suffer heavy losses. Let Liu Bei Hanjun see the joke, isn't it.

After Xu Shu and Liu Ba left, Liu Bei instructed the soldiers: "Go and invite General Liu Qi here!" ”

"No!" ――

The reason why Liu Bei deliberately asked the soldiers to find Liu Qi is actually very simple, because he is a force that cannot be ignored in Jiangling City today, and other big families are not as good as him. Not to mention that because his father Liu Biao and Liu Jingsheng were the original Jingzhou pastors, it is said that he now has nearly 20,000 Jingzhou soldiers. Liu Bei didn't dare to underestimate it, so he had to curry favor with the people who bought him.

Because Liu Bei knew that with his own horses, how long could he withstand the Liangzhou army. I don't know about this myself. And now that Ma Chao has transferred troops again, isn't this clearly putting pressure on himself. But if there is Liu Qi's help, even if he doesn't have to do anything. If there is a six or seven percent, then it can be said that this increases the chances of winning for your side. It has added a lot of resistance to the Liangzhou army.

Although Liu Bei didn't say anything to Liu Qi before, he also knew. It's not enough. Don't look at them like that, they seem to be able to help themselves, but who dares to say that this is certain. In case of a critical time, he, Liu Qi, is not able to work, then this Jiangling City will be in danger-

So in order to avoid such a situation, Liu Bei knew that he wanted to say a few words to Liu Qi as this uncle and the identity of the lord of the Han army. Grace and power are combined, so that they can truly return to their hearts and serve their own lives.

Liu Bei knew that Liu Qi was not stupid, but now that his father was gone, and his younger brother was also accused by himself, there were really few of his relatives and friends. But himself, that is definitely one, at least if he is in Jingzhou, he can keep him Liu Qi for a day, but if he is not here, then his consequences can actually be imagined.

Whether it is Cao Cao, Cao Mengde, or Sun Ce, Sun Bofu, Ma Chao, and Ma Mengqi, they will not let Liu Qi have any good results. The worst thing is to be killed, and the best result is almost house arrest, as for use, Liu Beixin said, this thing is almost impossible. In addition to himself, can others use him Liu Qi?

Even if it's used, it's not really used, it's just used. It's pretty much the same for me, but I have a relationship with him after all, so even if it's a use, at least it will give him a little benefit-

It won't hurt him, this is the biggest difference between himself and Cao Cao. And Liu Bei thinks that he Liu Qi must understand all this, but he must clearly tell him it, so it is better. After all, if he doesn't say it directly, then he may really have no bottom in his heart, so even if he Liu Qi has any ideas, he probably has to guard against himself.

Not to mention that Cao Cao is a traitor, and Liu Bei is a recognized hero, which is famous in the world. So looking at it this way, there really is nothing wrong with it. Speaking of Cao Cao, he is not a traitor, who is. As for Liu Bei, he is naturally a hero in the world, which is indeed true.

If you used to say it, it is true that not everyone can afford him, such as Yuan Shu at the beginning, but now, Yuan Shu doesn't know how many years he has been dead, but he Liu Bei is still alive and well. So in comparison, there is no need to say more.

After a while, Liu Qi arrived, and when he heard the soldier say that when his uncle was looking for him, he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurried over-

Liu Qi is a person, it's not that he hasn't said it before, he really has no ambitions. The point is that he even had. But the reality of the situation today is not enough for him to achieve anything. He never thought that he could compare with Cao Cao, Ma Chao and Sun Ce. But his uncle can, so he can't compare with his uncle.

And Liu Qi didn't hear what his father said. I think that when Liu Biao was still alive, he said to Liu Qi, Liu Bei Liu Xuande, the hero of the world, I might as well too!

Speaking of which, whether it is Cao Cao, Ma Chao, Sun Ce, or them, Liu Qi has never heard his father say that he is inferior to them. But his own father said so to his uncle, so he still doesn't know. Obviously, my uncle is a person with real skills and great ambitions, so ......

Liu Qi knew that if he wanted to mix well in Jingzhou, then he had to follow his uncle, and no one else could. Whether it is Cao Cao, or Ma Chao, Sun Ce. No, it doesn't work! ――

Yes, Liu Qi is not stupid, he also knows that he is an uncle. It's more about using yourself, and you know this. But he had to admit it, just because he was a member of the Han family. And he, Liu Bei, Liu Xuande, is still his so-called uncle, so Cao Cao, Ma Chao and Sun Ce. They can kill themselves, but he, Liu Xuande, can't. At least on the surface. He would never do it so blatantly, and almost never would do so.

Unless he is blocking his plan, maybe he will bite his teeth one last time and kill the killer. However, such a thing, Liu Qi thinks that it will almost never happen, because he is a threat to him Liu Xuande, obviously not. Even if his father was alive, he only had half of the power in Jingzhou, so he was not enough to pose any threat to him Liu Bei.

Yes, he Liu Xuande has to rely on some aspects of his own things, which he knows. But speaking of which, don't you also have to rely on him to live a stable life in Jingzhou?

So if you really want to talk about it, it's also using each other, which is not good. If there's something nice, it's mutual benefit.

"Uncle!"

After Liu Qi entered the house, he hurriedly gave Liu Bei a gift. Speaking of which, although Liu Bei is from a relatively poor background, he still values this etiquette, at least more than Ma Chao and Sun Ce. Anyway, they are all students of Lu Zhi, and there is no need to say what Lu Zhi is like. And as his student, he was more or less influenced by his people.

Liu Bei nodded at Liu Qi, "Virtuous nephew, please take a seat!" ”

"Thank you, uncle!"

There is no way, this should be done and said, it must be indispensable. So after doing the complete set, Liu Qi sat down. He also knew that when his uncle came to him at this time, he must have wanted to talk about the current war in Gangneung. Is there anything else besides this? If you are him, you have to be like this, so compare your heart to your heart, it's all the same.

After Liu Qi sat down, he didn't rush to ask anything, in fact, he also knew that it must be his uncle who spoke first, and it was not his turn. Speaking of his uncle, he really doesn't have to think about it a lot in front of him, after all, he is a junior, so it's almost, in fact, it's okay, and he understands it.

Sure enough, I heard Liu Bei say: "The virtuous nephew should know that the Liangzhou army is not entering the army today!" ”

Liu Qi nodded when he heard this, everyone knows about this, can he still not know? So of course he wouldn't tell a lie, but he still asked, "I don't know what my uncle means?" Do you have to deal with the Liangzhou army? ”

Of course, he actually asked so casually, he didn't think that his uncle was going to lead the troops out to fight the Liangzhou army, and it was estimated that a fool wouldn't be able to do that.

Liu Bei shook his head with a smile when he heard this, and then said, "Definitely! Can the virtuous nephew know, why did this Ma Mengqi stand still? ”

Liu Qi also shook his head, he really didn't think about it carefully, but he thought about it. He doesn't have any good ideas.

However, he still asked: "Could it be because you know that they are inferior to our army, so you don't dare to attack the city?" ”

Of course, Liu Qi didn't think this was the case. But he still looked at Liu Bei, and Liu Bei shook his head again. said: "Actually, it is not! It is not unreasonable to say that what the virtuous nephew said, but even if Ma Mengqi knows that he will not be able to break Jiangling for a while, but if the virtuous nephew is his Ma Chao, then he will not enter the army now? ”

After hearing this, Liu Qi still shook his head, "No, uncle said that, is there any other reason?" ”

"Yes! In my opinion, he Ma Mengqi is mobilizing troops. It's to wait for their Liangzhou army to reinforce the horses! ”

When Liu Qi heard this, he gently patted the table, "Not bad!" What my uncle said was good, and the little nephew suddenly thought of it, it should be like this, it is true! ”

Indeed, Liu Qi really thought of it at this time, but Liu Bei said it first. But the conversation between the two of them made Liu Qi more determined in his thoughts-

And Liu Bei really thought of it when he saw Liu Qi. He was still satisfied, but he still said: "Don't hide it from my nephew, now the Yanzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army are not in Lingling. I didn't come to Nanjun! ”

When Liu Qi heard this, he was a little puzzled, and then followed Liu Bei is busy asking, "Then dare to ask uncle." Where are the Yanzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army at this time? ”

Liu Qixin said, why are they all missing? I really don't want to be a reinforcement anymore. What's wrong, it's really not good news. Even if the Yanzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army are not ten percent full. But with only half of the force, that's good, after all, the fifty percent of the force is better than no strength.

Liu Bei waved his hand and said, "No, they went to Changsha at this time!" The virtuous nephew knows what they mean! Hehe! ”

When Liu Qi heard it, he really understood. I have to say that even if he doesn't have such a strong mind, it's true that he doesn't have any strategy. But they do know how to use their brains, they know how to think, and this is really --

So as soon as he heard what Liu Bei said, he thought about it a little, and he knew what Cao Ren and Lu Su meant. However, he and Liu Bei had similar ideas, and they were not optimistic about the Yanzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army. But it would be nice if they could really give them a surprise, but if they didn't, then it was normal.

Looking at this, I have to admit that this uncle and nephew Liu Bei have a lot of similarities in their ideas, which is indeed the case.

Liu Bei is continued: "Today's shape shì, the virtuous nephew is already known. Now our army is really facing a strong enemy, if we wait for the arrival of Ma Chaoliangzhou army reinforcements, it will be the day when the battle in Jiangling City begins! ”

When Liu Qi heard this, he knew what his uncle had asked him to do, and he also understood that it was time for him to express his position. Therefore, he hurriedly said: "But according to my uncle's orders, no matter what my uncle asks my little nephew to do, my little nephew will never give up, and he will not hesitate to do so!" ”――

Don't look at Liu Qi's lack of ambition, this is right, and he doesn't have much ability, which is not false. But his people are quite neat and neat, and they can indeed be regarded as instant decisions.

Because he knew in his heart that it was impossible for him not to express his position and play stupid there. The ancients knew that if you want to take it, you must first give it. This self and his uncle can be regarded as using each other. But now he has less than 20,000 horses here, which is what his uncle values, and if he needs it most at this moment.

So since he wants to use it, then it's all right, anyway, in exchange for him Liu Xuande's trust in himself and his protection, then it's worth it.

This is Liu Qi's thoughts, and he also knows that if he dares to say no, or pretend to be stupid, then he Liu Bei has a way, so that he has no soldiers. Maybe even within two days, he died with a whimper, and then claimed to the public that he died of illness, which is definitely not an impossible thing, but very likely-

Therefore, Liu Qi knows too well that at this moment, to Liu Xuande, what he should say and what he should not say. What can be said and what must not be said.

What attitude should he have, what must be said, and what must be said, it can be said that he is clear. Liu Qi's ability is not big, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't understand anything, he doesn't know anything. Anyway, he is the eldest son of Liu Biao and Liu Jingsheng, although in many places, he is not even as good as his father, but there are places that surpass his father, this is also true.

Hearing Liu Qi's words, Liu Bei was very happy. (To be continued......)
