Liu Biao's death made the disaster in Jingzhou even worse. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Originally, Liu Biao wanted his eldest son Liu Qi as the heir, but later Mrs. Cai fell in love with Liu Qi's younger brother Liu Cong, and married Cai Mao's daughters to Liu Cong.

After Liu Biao's death, Liu Qi went to Xiangyang to mourn, but Mrs. Cai closed the door, Liu Qi cried, and had to return to Zhangling helplessly.

Subsequently, Liu Cong announced that he would inherit Liu Biao's position as Jingzhou Mu, Zhennan General, and Chengwu Marquis, and specially sent an envoy to visit Liu He, the purpose was naturally self-evident, hoping that Liu He could recognize his status.

At this time, Liu Qi also sent someone to find Liu He, hoping that Liu He could uphold justice for him and support him to succeed to the throne.

Liu Qi thought that Liu He, who had always presided over justice, would definitely help him, but he didn't expect Liu He to choose to support Liu Cong, and then persuaded him to keep to himself and hand over the seal of Zhang Lingtaishou, if he lived in Chang'an, he would definitely be able to ensure that Liu Qi had no worries about food and clothing, and if Liu Qi wanted to be an official, then he could also award him an official.

Liu Qi heard the messenger's relay, and a deep disappointment suddenly floated in his heart, he didn't expect that Liu He, the eldest brother who was so kind and generous to him at the beginning, would now become so ruthless and ruthless, without a sense of justice.

At this time, Liu Bei sent an envoy to Zhangling to persuade Liu Qi to surrender.

Liu Qi didn't expect Liu Bei to persuade him to surrender, and immediately shouted: "If it weren't for Liu Bei, I, Liu Qiyan, would I be able to have today?" It was his dispatch of troops that killed my father and plunged the people of Jingzhou into war, this person is my enemy, how can I surrender to him? ”

But I saw the messenger sigh: "Actually, we don't want Jingzhou to fall into war, and we also regret Ling Zun's death, but our original intention is only for Liu He, this needless to say, just say Gongzi you, you said that we still have you today, this is a big mistake, the Cai brothers and sisters have a close relationship with Liu He, you don't know this, and the Cai brothers and sisters all support Ling Brother as the heir, so even if there is no us, you still can't be the lord of Jingzhou." On the contrary, my lord is deeply sympathetic to Gongzi, and thinks that the lord of Jingzhou should be inherited by Gongzi, so he sent his subordinates to see Gongzi, as long as Gongzi is willing to follow my lord, my lord is willing to protect Gongzi as the assassin of Jingzhou, and help Gongzi seize the hometown of Jingzhou, but there is only one condition, as long as Gongzi agrees to form an alliance with our army from now on to deal with Liu He together, I don't know if Gongzi is interested? ”

After thinking for a while, Liu Qi suddenly said: "Since you treat me unkindly, then don't blame me for being unjust, big brother, you forced me to do all this!" ”

Subsequently, Liu Qi agreed to Liu Bei's persuasion to surrender, handed over the seal ribbon of Zhang Ling Taishou, and welcomed the arrival of Liu Bei's army.

Liu Bei really wanted to treat people with the same enthusiasm as he did at the beginning, and he couldn't see any conspiracy at all, which made him more and more convinced that Liu Bei was really sorry for him, so he immediately handed over all the 20,000 naval troops and 10,000 troops under his command to Liu Bei's command.

Not long after Liu Qi surrendered to Liu Bei, the news reached Liu He, Liu He of course knew that Liu Qi complained about him, but he never changed his mind to support Liu Cong, and after hearing that Liu Qi surrendered, he suddenly sighed in his heart.

"Brother Qi, I know that you resent me very much about this, but this is also a helpless thing, first of all, from the perspective of family affection, I am a real relative of the Cai family, and you are just her stepson, how can I object to the person she wants to promote? What's more, Brother Cong has a cowardly personality, and he is more suitable to be the lord of Jingzhou than you, because only in him, I can get Jingzhou without blood, as for you, your character is too strong, if you make you the lord of Jingzhou, when I want to get him in the future, it will inevitably be a big war, which will not only hurt the relatives at that time, but also make the people of Jingzhou fall into the war again. This is the emperor's mental technique, you want to be the lord of Jingzhou, is it so difficult that you don't understand this? ”

Liu He was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said softly to himself: "What's more, it's not that I haven't given you a chance before, I reminded you the last time we met, you must have a good relationship with the Cai family, and it is best to get her support and marry her niece, but how did you do it?" Not only did he not have a good relationship, but he became more and more estranged from her, and finally insisted on marrying the daughter of a small family, destroying his future, can I be blamed? Besides, although I am a general, and although I am an ally and relative of your father, I cannot forcibly interfere in your internal affairs, so I can't do anything about your affairs, and now you put all the blame on my head, am I not wronged? ”

In fact, the current Liu He is also very passive, he once guessed that Liu Bei and Sun Quan would definitely unite after the conspiracy to the north was blocked, but he didn't expect their union to be so fast, and they quickly surrendered Liu Qi, which caused Liu Biao and Liu Cong's father and son to now lose most of Jingzhou, and there is now only one Nanjun left in Jingzhou, and even Nanjun has lost Jiangling.

"If my movements were slower, it is estimated that the entire Jingzhou would have been captured by them." Liu He secretly smiled bitterly, and ordered all parts of the country to mobilize troops and horses, and rushed to Nanyang one after another, the forward troops had already reached Xinye, as long as Liu He's order arrived, they would immediately drive to Xiangyang.

However, to Liu He's surprise, Cai's mother and son actually took the initiative to choose to surrender, because Liu Bei's army was assembled, and they arrived in Yicheng in just two days, and the Cai brothers and sisters had framed Liu Bei many times when Liu Bei was a guest at Liu Biao's place, knowing that Liu Bei must hate them to the core, once Xiangyang City is broken, they believe that they will not have any good results.

Therefore, the Cai brothers and sisters ordered the generals Wen Ping and Wang Wei to guard Xiangyang, but they secretly took Liu Cong, Huang Chengyan, Huang's grandfather and son and others to escape from Xiangyang in the middle of the night, and met Liu He's army by chance.

"Hehe, virtuous son-in-law, Xiangyang is no longer safe now, so we are ready to take refuge in your Chang'an, Cong'er also decided to hand over the seal of Jingzhou Mu to you, and live his peaceful life, we all know that our ability is not enough to hold there, it is better to hand it over to you directly, I believe that with your ability, you will definitely be able to keep the entire Jingzhou."

Cai Mao didn't care about the contradictions between him and Liu He in the past, and he was a virtuous son-in-law, and the intimacy he called made uninformed people think that Liu He was his son-in-law.
