After receiving Liu Biao's order, Liu Qi was very embarrassed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

's father, Liu Biao, is terminally ill and has long been unable to serve as a director. This edict must have been issued by Cai Mao and others in the name of Liu Biao, and the intention was obvious.

His powerful subordinate Zeng Guofan, the governor of Youwuling, was not around, and Liu Qi summoned the rest of the civil and military forces to discuss countermeasures.

Luo Yi said: "The division of Yizhou tigers and wolves, my Jingnan soldiers and horses, is not its enemy." ”

Tao Kan also said: "Even if you can fight with Yizhou, you can't do it." This must be Cai Mao and other plans, Jingnan soldiers and horses are insufficient, and the army is handed over to the state, then Jingnan is empty, and the soldiers of Jingbei will take advantage of the void. ”

Liu Qi was worried about this, frowning and shaking his head, there was nothing he could do.

"Hehe......" Wei Yan smiled: "Cai's has a plan, we can just plan it!" ”

"How do you count it?"

"Raising troops needs provisions. Childe can ask Gangneung for food and grass, and if those guys refuse to allocate it, we have a reason to refuse to send troops. ”

Liu Qi asked, "What if they are willing to allocate grain and grass?" ”

"If it's for grain and grass, hehe......" Wei Yan smiled and raised his eyebrows. If there is enough food and grass, what is there to fear? If I refuse to send troops, why should I do it? If those guys in Jingbei dare to attack, their subordinates will lead a team of soldiers and horses to reject them, and they will not come back! ”

Wei Yan said impassionedly, but Liu Qi shook his head with a wry smile.

To do so is, to put it mildly, to be unjust; At worst, it's rebellion!

After discussing for a long time, there was no countermeasure, everyone dispersed, and Liu Qi frowned.

Wang Cang returned from his business trip, learned the news, and came to see Liu Qi. "Childe has no solution, why don't you ask Kong Ming?"

If it weren't for Wang Cang's reminder, Liu Qi would have almost forgotten Zhuge Liang!

Liu Qi chased hard for a long time, and finally persuaded Zhuge Liang to return to his heart.

However, Liu Qi did not entrust Kong Ming with a heavy responsibility, but just kept him by his side and thought that he was a staff member.

Liu Qi did this out of many considerations.

To gain a firm foothold in Jingnan, the most important thing is to win the support of the Jingnan family. Zhuge Liang has a background in Jingbei and is too reused, which may cause objections from the Jingnan family.

Moreover, although Zhuge Liang has the name of Wolong, he is not as old as a weak crown, and his qualifications are too shallow, so it may be difficult to convince the public. Especially Luo Yi, Tao Kan and others, who have qualifications, backgrounds, merits, and have been following for a long time, Liu Qi has to consider their feelings.

Zhuge Liang understood Liu Qi's distress, did not complain, did not make any requests, and took his servants to study outside the city. Liu Qi occasionally consulted about some military and political matters, and Zhuge Liang's answer was decent, but there was nothing extraordinary.

……

The maid was cleaning up the yard, and when she saw Liu Qi coming, the maid hurriedly ran over to salute.

Seeing that the door was closed, Liu Qi asked, "Kong Ming is not here?" ”

The servant said in a low voice: "Mr. is closed for two days, and he is not allowed to disturb." ”

Liu Qi was hesitating when Kong Ming's voice came from the room. "But Ziyu Gongzi?"

"Yes, sir."

The door opened, and Zhuge Liang came out. Sleepless all night, Kong Ming's eyes were sunken, but his spirit was very full.

"Congratulations Childe!"

Liu Qi couldn't help frowning. "I, why do I like it?"

Wang Cang also complained: "Kong Ming doesn't want to joke. Childe is here, and he has something important to inquire about. ”

Zhuge Liang smiled: "But for the sake of Jiaozhou? ”

"Kong Ming heard about it?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "It's just a guess." ”

Guess?

Liu Qi couldn't help but be surprised, and Wang Cang couldn't believe it, and asked, "How can you guess, let's hear it." ”

"It's as simple as it gets." Zhuge Liang asked the two of them in the house, while explaining: "Liu Yu is in trouble, and everyone knows it. Jiaozhou is remote, and although the imperial court and Liu Jiangtian want to obstruct it, they are powerless. Besides, Liu Jiang Tianxing was in the middle of the army, and he had no time to take care of him, so he could only make a show and let Jingzhou mediate. This matter can be used by the people of Jingbei to take the opportunity to embarrass the son of Yugongzi. ”

Zhuge Liang lives in a thatched house, but he can see the world, Liu Qi and Wang Cang admire it.

"Worthy of Wolong!" Liu Qi praised.

Zhuge Liang can not only anticipate things first, but also have a countermeasure.

Liu Qi saluted respectfully: "I don't know how to reply, I'm here to ask for advice." ”

"Do as you are told."

I thought that Zhuge Liang could tell a clever plan, but who knows, he actually answered like this.

Liu Qi looked disappointed, Wang Cang shook his head and complained: "Since Kong Ming can anticipate things first, why did he make such a decision?" The soldiers and horses in Yizhou are strong, Liu Yu's tiger and wolf disciples, with my soldiers and horses in Jingnan District, how to fight with them? ! ”

Zhuge Liang smiled silently, and Wang Cang said again: "Besides, if you send troops to Jiaozhou, Jingnan will be empty, and it will be taken advantage of by Jingbei." Childe humbly asked, how could Kong Ming be so perfunctory? Alas! ”

Zhuge Liang's answer, Liu Qi was also very dissatisfied. Because of the situation, Liu Qi did not speak out to ask.

However, Zhuge Liang's smile revealed a hint of cunning, Liu Qi's heart moved, and what Kong Ming said must have a deep meaning!

Liu Qi saluted again: "Qi is dull, please give me advice." ”

Zhuge Liang finally put away his smile. "Send troops, but you don't have to fight Liu Yu."

"Not at war?"

"Yes, yes. In the land of Jingnan, it is difficult to achieve great things. Gongzi is in a weak position, it is difficult to compete with the surrounding strong tycoons, and the south takes Jiaozhou, which is the foundation and the plan for development. ”

Liu Qi and Zhuge Liang met for the first time, sat in the boat to talk, and Zhuge Liang proposed the development strategy of taking Jiaozhou in the south. Liu Qi agreed with Zhuge Liang's idea, but suffered from a lack of strength and could not go south.

"Liu Yu was unrighteous and invaded Jiaozhou, and Shixie was overwhelmed to deal with it. The prince was ordered by the imperial court to raise troops to the south, and the name was justified, which happened to be the opportunity to hand over the state! ”

Liu Qi's eyes lit up. "What does Kong Ming mean is not to start a war with Liu Yu and take the opportunity to seize Jiaozhou?"

"Yes! If you start a war with Liu Yu, it is inevitable that both sides will lose, which Liu Jiangtian and the people of Jingbei are happy to see. Liu Yu is unjust, but at this time, Gongzi should not be his enemy, but should secretly become friends. Take the state together, and each takes what he needs. ”

"Take the state together, and take what you need?" Liu Qi savored it.

Zhuge Liang explained: "The place where Liu Yu first took it must be the Yulin and Jiaozhi places in the west of Jiaozhou. Childe can take the opportunity to seize the three eastern counties. The counties of Jiaozhou are rich and rich. Cangwu is close to Jingnan, and the prince seized Cangwu in the name of Wang Shi, and then went south to Hepu, and the three eastern counties of Jiaozhou (Cangwu, Hepu, and Nanhai) were all under control. Liang stayed awake all night, just for this picture, Childe, please see! ”

Zhuge Liang said, spreading out a silk cloth, which is the map of the entire territory of Jingnan and Jiaozhou.

It depicts in detail the mountains and rivers of Jiaozhou, the main cities and passes, and the population of various places.

Jiaozhou is long and narrow, and Cangwu County is in the middle. controlled Cangwu and divided Jiaozhou into two. What Zhuge Liang suggested Liu Qi seized was Cangwu, Nanhai and other places with the most population.

Looking at the vast territory on the map, Liu Qi's cheeks were red with excitement. However, Liu Qi also had a brain, and asked: "Entering the army, Jingnan is bound to be empty, what is the explanation?" ”

"Childe doesn't need to worry too much. Liu Jingzhou is still there, and the people in Jingbei do not dare to rise up civil strife. Cai Mao is unscrupulous, indecisive, and has the Jiangdong Sun family, eyeing the tiger, and the Cai family will never dare to go south. ”

Jingbei didn't dare to act rashly, but Zhuge Liang's idea was still too ideal, right?!

Go south to Cangwu and cut off the three richest eastern counties in Jiaozhou, how can Shixie agree? How could Liu Yu agree?
