Text 94.Jiangxia avoids disaster

Huang Yi learned that these drawings were given to Huang Yueying by the general Yuan Xi, and said happily: "I heard that the general of the dynasty is only twenty years old, and he is famous all over the world for his soldiers, but he can know his sister, and my sister's future is limitless!" ”

Huang Yueying has never met Yuan Xi, these drawings were sent to Huang Yueying by Yuan Xi when Xun Zhan went to Jingzhou, asking if he could design repeating crossbows, steel ships, hot air balloons, railways, etc., and invited Huang Yueying to visit Jizhou. Although Huang Yueying is in Jingzhou, which is very far away from Jizhou, she has heard of the heroic deeds of the great general Yuan Xi, and she is also looking forward to going to Jizhou to meet this great general who can design so many new things. In order not to be blamed by his father, he wanted to drag his cousin into the water.

Although Huang Yi is smart, he is still childlike and curious about new things, so he decided to sneak away to Jizhou with Huang Yueying. Huang Yi thought about it quite thoughtfully, and decided to tell Huang Zhong so as not to hurt the heart of an old man. Huang Yi secretly said to Huang Zhong: "Father-in-law, I heard that the general of the dynasty is only twenty years old, but he can be a corporal, and the child also wants to go to Jizhou for some training, this is a long way to go, please don't worry about your father-in-law!" ”

Huang Zhong listened to Huang Yi's words, silent, and was fighting fiercely in his heart, whether to agree or not to agree? Although Huang Yi is smart and long-term, he is a thirteen-year-old boy after all, and he really doesn't feel at ease when he goes to Jizhou alone. If he is not allowed to go out and see the customs of various places, how can he make great achievements in the future? After pondering, Huang Zhong agreed to Huang Yi and decided to protect Huang Yi to Jizhou.

Huang Yi was moved, although he and Huang Zhong were commensurate with father and son, they had not known each other for a long time, but he did not expect that Huang Zhong would rather give up his position for his own safety and future, and he was secretly determined to live up to Huang Zhong's expectations. In this way, under the protection of Huang Zhong, Huang Yueying and Huang Yi began their trip to Jizhou.

Liu Biao received Jiangxia's battle report, and Liu Biao's death made Liu Biao very sorry, after all, he had guarded Jiangxia for many years, and he had no merit and hard work, but Jiangdong's retreat also made Liu Biao feel at ease. As for Liu Pan's request to be stationed in Jiangxia, he approved it without thinking about it, Jiangxia is the gateway to guard against Jiangdong, so he naturally needs to be handled by people who are close to him. Liu Biao also felt that he was getting old and his health was getting worse and worse, so he summoned his eldest son Liu Qi, who made him the most uneasy.

Liu Qi, as Liu Biao's eldest son, was supposed to be the heir of Jingzhou, but he was timid and cowardly, very afraid of his stepmother Cai, worried that one day he would be poisoned by Cai. However, Liu Qi was more than capable of helping, helpless, powerless, and began to exile himself, drinking and having fun day and night, resigned to fate. When Liu Qi heard that his father had summoned him, he immediately woke up from his drunken dream and death, and his father Liu Biao might be his last life-saving straw, so he immediately cleaned up and went to the state pastor mansion to meet Liu Biao.

Liu Biao shook his head when he saw that Liu Qi was full of alcohol and sickly. Although he intended to set up his eldest son Liu Qi when he talked with Liu Bei that day, when he saw it today, he was disappointed, Liu Biao also hated iron and steel, and taught Liu Qi a lesson: "You only know how to drink all day long, and you don't take care of yourself, how will you protect me in Jingzhou in the future?" ”

Liu Qi is like listening to a joke, Bao Jingzhou? I can't even save my life! Liu Qi cried: "Father, the child doesn't want to do this, but the stepmother always wants to harm the child, so she has to do this!" ”

When Liu Biao heard this, he also felt sad, and he was ashamed, if he hadn't connived at the Cai brothers and sisters, how could he have fallen to the point where everyone is in danger today. Liu Biao thought that Liu Pan was in Jiangxia, so he wanted Liu Qi to go to Jiangxia to avoid trouble, so he said to Liu Qi: "Qi'er is willing to go to Jiangxia, and with your cousin to take care of it, you will have no worries." ”

Liu Qi hesitated, went to Jiangxia, the future lord of Jingzhou must be Liu Cong, if he doesn't go, I'm afraid he will have to worry about his life now, after thinking about it, Liu Qi still decided to go to Jiangxia and make plans again. Liu Biao nodded, and said to Liu Qi: "When you go to Jiangxia, you can't make excuses, you must behave well, you don't have to worry about the future in the future, you have your own arrangements for your father." ”

Since Liu Bei was defeated by Cao Cao, he was trapped in the small city of Xinye, although he worked hard and concentrated on development, but the space was limited, and now Xinye can have 30,000 troops, which is already the limit, which is also thanks to the birth of hungry Yuan Xi, Cao Cao, who originally regarded Liu Bei as the main opponent, was also tired of dealing with Yuan Xi in Hebei, ignoring the inconspicuous Liu Bei.

Liu Bei has been in Xinye for more than a year, in addition to recruiting troops and developing strength, he is also constantly reflecting on the reason for his failure, which may be the lack of a military advisor who gives advice and foresight to him. Liu Bei's advisers Jian Yong, Sun Qian, Mi Lan and others discussed internal affairs, but they lacked understanding of the war situation.

As the main pillar of the Cai family, Cai Mao is also preparing to marry his most beloved daughter Cai Xi to Liu Cong, turning Jingzhou into the foundation of the Cai family, and naturally wants to support Liu Cong as the pastor of Jingzhou. I heard that Liu Biao sent Liu Qi to Jiangxia, so he found his sister, Liu Biao's wife Cai Shi discussed: "Sister, now that Liu Qi is no longer in Xiangyang, why not persuade the lord Liu Cong, so as not to have many dreams at night?" ”

Cai followed Cai Mao's advice, and after returning home in the evening, he served Liu Biao diligently. Although Liu Biao wanted to regain his strength, it was a pity that he was old after all, Cai's desire was dissatisfied, and Liu Biao was becoming more and more useless, but in order to persuade Liu Biao, he still said coquettishly: "Husband, you sent Qi'er to Jiangxia, are you preparing to make Cong'er the successor of Jingzhou?" ”

Liu Biao knew Cai's plan early, no wonder he was so kind today, so he nodded helplessly and said: "Qi'er only knows how to drink and have fun all day long, which really disappoints me, and sent him to Jiangxia, hoping that he can repent well." As for Li Cong'er as the heir of Jingzhou, don't worry, Mrs., I will write a good song and fold it to the court. Cai didn't understand the doorway, thinking that Liu Biao had agreed to his request, so he didn't ask anymore.

On the second day, Cai's family saw that Liu Biao had written a good note, and ordered someone to send it to Luoyang Han to offer the emperor, so he replied to Cai Mao with peace of mind, and urged Cai Mao to handle the marriage of Liu Cong and Cai Xi as soon as possible. Cai Mao heard that Liu Biao was only on the court and did not announce it in front of the civil and military ministers of Jingzhou, so he thought it was inappropriate and worried: "Sister, the imperial court is completely in the hands of the great general Yuan Xi, even if the order is given, everyone in Jingzhou may not be convinced, especially that Liu Bei!" "Cai's didn't expect to have this kind of relationship, but I don't think so, as long as the Holy Intention is in hand, it is orthodox, and if someone disagrees, it is Cai Mao's business.

Seeing that Cai didn't believe his words, Cai Mao didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he went to convince his daughter first. Cai Xi has been regarded as the pearl of the Cai family since he was a child, and he is also presumptuous, and he doesn't like to follow the rules the most. Although Liu Cong is the second son of Liu Biao, he is likely to become the lord of Jingzhou in the future, but he is also a puppet in the hands of his father, so Cai Xi does not want to marry Liu Cong. However, this time his father was determined to marry Liu Cong, and Cai Xi secretly consulted with his cousin.

Cai Xi came to Huang Yueying's house and ran into a void, but met a person who was destined. The young man was about twenty years old, beautiful and handsome, eight feet tall, and had an extraordinary temperament, but his face was slightly disappointed. Cai Xi stepped forward and took the initiative to greet him: "Is this eldest brother also here to find Miss Huang?" ”

Zhuge Liang was full of loss, and only after hearing Cai Xi's shout did he think of this bystander, and said politely: "In Xia Zhuge Liang, the word Kong Ming heard that Miss Huang is smart and good at the art of organs, so he came to visit and teach." It's a pity that I didn't have a chance to see it, and I heard that I went to Jizhou to play. ”

Cai Xi guessed that Zhuge Liang should be Huang Yueying's suitor, and stepped forward and quipped: "Brother Kong Ming doesn't need to mind, Miss Huang is my cousin, I will introduce you to him one day, in fact, I also came to ask my cousin for help today." ”

Zhuge Liang was overjoyed when he saw that Cai Xi was Huang Yueying's cousin, so he wanted to help Cai Xi, and asked with a smile: "If the girl has any difficulties, Kong Ming may be able to help one or two." ”
