Originally, Jingxiang had only seven counties: Nanyang County, Nan County, Jiangxia County, Lingling County, Guiyang County, Wuling County, and Changsha County.

Liu Biao obtained the land of Jingxiang except for Nanyang County, and deliberately went to the imperial court to separate the twelve counties he occupied, including Xinye, Jianyang, Chaoyang, Ji, Deng, Caiyang, Anchang, Jixi, Pingshi, Yiyang, and Pinglin, from Nanyang County and established them as Yiyang County, and the county seat was set up in Xinye. Therefore, the eight counties of Jingxiang, except for Nanyang, the big county, are all owned by Liu Biao.

When everyone heard the news, they couldn't help but be very excited. Since ancient times, in addition to Ganluo being the prime minister at the age of twelve, Sang Hongyang at the age of thirteen should be edicted to enter the palace to offer advice, and the champion Hou was in command at the age of seventeen, it was Liu Qi's fifteen-year-old county guard. This is enough to see that Liu Biao attaches great importance to Liu Qi, and it can also highlight Liu Qi's talent even more!

Although Yiyang County is newly established and its territory is small, the importance of this county has not diminished at all. It is more important than Jiangxia County. By doing this, Liu Biao undoubtedly announced to the world that he began to cultivate Liu Qi with all his might. If he is placed in the traffic town of Yiyang County, he will get more exercise and face more severe pressure.

Liu Qi served as the county guard, and everyone suddenly felt that the burden on their shoulders seemed to be a lot heavier. Liu Qi smiled lightly and said, "Father, what other orders does he have?" Liu Qi's relaxed expression shocked people, and he secretly said in his heart: "The lord has such a calm and unhurried attitude at a young age, he is really a genius!" He is worthy of being a county warden at the age of fifteen! ”

"The lord has sent an edict: All affairs of Yiyang County will be handled by the county guard, and the county guard will be responsible for the formation of the county government and staff, and the county guard will be responsible for it. In addition, Yiyang County was newly established and its foundation was unstable, so Wang Zizhen temporarily commanded military affairs; All expenses and military supplies for the county guard to recruit soldiers and soldiers to form an army should be pulled out of the Zhennan General's Mansion. The more Chen Bao thought about it, the more excited he became, and said: "The lord has ordered the Zhennan General's Mansion to transport the first batch of armaments and grain and grass to Xinye, and the person who protects the grain is General Wen Zhongye. Order: Liu Qi, the county warden of Yiyang County, must take office within one month of the arrival of the letter of appointment. ”

Xun Yu heard the words and set off stormy waves, and he still underestimated Liu Jingsheng and his son. Liu Biao's intention is not only that, he estimates that if Liu Qi captures Nanyang County, an important iron smelting town in the late Han Dynasty, Liu Biao will let Liu Qi lead the two counties of Nanyang and Yiyang to defend against the princes of the Central Plains. It's just that Xun Yu doesn't understand that Liu Biao can rest assured that Liu Qi is facing the princes of the Central Plains alone, and how can Liu Qi be able to defend Nanyang County when he is only fifteen years old? What does Liu Biao rely on?

"Qi commands." Liu Qi bowed to Xiangyang, and then said: "This county is in charge of the new position, and everything still depends on your help. Chen Bao Chen to Xu Chu said in unison: "The lord is polite, and it is within his duty to contribute to the lord." ”

"The boy was appointed by Liu Zhennan as the guard of a county at the age of fifteen, and there must be criticism in the state. My father was under a lot of pressure, and I was under a lot of pressure. You need to work harder, don't let people underestimate you. Liu Qi reminded him, and everyone nodded and promised to do something big, so that those villains who like to bite the root of their tongue will be surprised!

"Zizhen has already led 5,000 soldiers from his headquarters to Xinye to station, and ordered him to be the captain of Xinye, garrison Xinye, and clear the internal chaos and thieves in the office; Liu Pan was the lieutenant of Yiyang, and Liu Hu, as the deputy general, led 2,000 people from the headquarters to garrison Yiyang County to prevent Runan, and at the same time calmed down the internal turmoil and thieves in Yiyang County, and returned a stable environment to the people; Shu Zhi led the Bai Yi Battalion and Zhong Kang's Euphorbia Battalion to garrison Jianyang and Zhuer County, Shu Zhi was the lieutenant of Jianyang, and Zhong Kang was the deputy general. Liu Qi gave the first order as the county guard, and said: "The position of the little county officer, I wonder if Mr. Wen Ruo can deign to accept it?" Help the boy to contribute to the people of Yiyang County? ”

Xun Yu was stunned for a moment, and wanted to shirk it, but Liu Qi said: "If Mr. Wen Ruo doesn't dislike it, he will be wronged to serve as the county governor of Yiyang County for the kid." If Mr. Wenruo meets the Lord in the future, Mr. leaves, and the kid personally practices it, which will not hinder Mr. 's future. ”

"The young general is so gracious, Xun seems to be a certain talent when he shirks. Wen Ruo should be a general and serve as a county magistrate, and do my best to govern the people. Xun Yu bowed down to receive the order.

"The boy's surname is here, thank you Mr. Wenruo." Liu Qi was about to bow down to thank Xun Yu, Xun Yu hurriedly helped Liu Qi up, and the two looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent.

"My father's letter of appointment has arrived, but Gohara Valley doesn't need to stay any longer. Order: Shu Zhi commanded the Baiyi Battalion and the Euphorbia Battalion to carry grain and grass to evacuate Wuyuan Valley on the same day, and returned to Xincai Chen's house to wait for the county to guard the arrangement; Zhong Kang returned to Qian County on the same day to recruit Xiang Yong, and a month later returned to Jianyang to assist Shu to the Yuan Highway; Ziyong, arrange the matter of elite training scouts, and set off to Nanyang County on the same day to investigate the enemy's situation, there must be no mistake! Liu Qi paused, remembered something, and said, "Order Liu Pan and Liu Hu to go to Yiyang to garrison on the same day." ”

"No!" The three of them answered at the same time. Chen Bao said again: "My lord, there is still a matter to report. ”

"Let's be straight, don't be so polite."

"When General Zizhen went to Xinye to garrison, he ordered Liu Pan and Liu Hu to recruit soldiers. Therefore, General Liu Hu's spear battalion has reached 1,500 soldiers, and General Liu Pan's spear battalion has also established 1,500 soldiers. The two generals are now waiting for the lord's order in Xin Cai. Chen Baoyu reported.

Liu Qi was overjoyed when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "Nale ordered them to wait for the order, and there is no need to go to Yiyang County to garrison for the time being." Wait for the county guard to return to Xincai before making a decision. ”

"No!"

"How are they training?" Liu Qi asked, and Chen Bao replied: "It is more than a step worse than Uncle Zhibai's camp, but it is not bad at all as the main force." If the military affairs are urgent, it can also be used as a main force, and it is enough to defend against the rebels in Runan. ”

"Hmm." Liu Qi won, muttered for a while, and muttered, "Close to 10,000 troops? It's enough to give Yuan Highway a big gift when he leaves. ”

******************

Jingzhou, Xiangyang County, Xiangyang, Kuaijia.

The two brothers Kuailiang and Kuai Yue felt incredulous about their lord Liu Biao's appointment of Liu Qi as the Taishou of Yiyang County, but they were helpless.

"The eldest prince is fifteen years old, he has no reputation, and he has no talent, why should the lord be appointed as a county. You must know that Yiyang County is a strategic place for us in Jingzhou to seek the entire county of Nanyang, how can a milky and dry boy be able to do it? Kuai Yue's brother Kuai Liang Kuai Zirou said with a sneer on his face.

"The lord naturally has his reason for doing this, Chen Taigong is a famous man in the world, and the lord is also a heroine among women for a while, and the eldest son who wants to teach him is not bad. Zirou, you have to pay attention to your tone. After all, it's our lord. Kuai Yue pondered deeply and said: "A few days ago, I heard that the lord was the strategy of the eldest prince when he first entered Jing, and the style of General Wen Zhongye also admired him. In this way, it seems that the eldest prince must be extraordinary. ”

"I'm just worried about Jingzhou, and I don't have any other intentions. The eldest prince is not yet at the age of a weak crown to serve as a county guard, and rumors will inevitably spread among the Jingzhou scholars, and Jingzhou, which has finally stabilized, may fall into the turmoil of thieves again, big brother. Kuai Liangkou was straightforward and said the worries in his heart.

"It doesn't matter, since the lord dares to appoint the eldest prince, it shows that there are countermeasures. We don't need to worry, the only thing we need to worry about is what the eldest prince thinks of the wealthy family. Kuai Yue reminded Kuai Liang and said: "The lord's approach is to announce to the world that Jingzhou will be under the rule of the eldest prince in the future. The eldest prince's current attitude towards the wealthy family is what our Kuai family needs to understand. ”

Kuai Liang nodded and said, "That's true, it's still the eldest brother who thinks about it far." Kuai Yue glared at him and said, "Our Kuai family has been in Jingzhou for generations, although it is not as good as the Cai family, and it is not an idle generation. However, this time, the eldest brother is here to say that the matter of the Kuai family's food and loyalty, and the preservation of the family's affairs cannot be put in the first place this time. The implication is that the Kuai family is completely tied to the boat of Liu Biao and advance and retreat together.

"Why?" Kuai Liang asked, "Could it be the eldest prince?" ”

"Well, the lord often praises the eldest prince. Now that the Lord is so clear, we can't afford to be fooled. Although I have never met the eldest prince, I was surprised by the appreciation of the eldest prince in the army. Kuai Yue said.

"Everything is arranged by the eldest brother." Kuailiang Road.

"The new county guard, the Xinye clan will inevitably let me and others know the attitude of the eldest prince towards the wealthy family, let's wait and see."

******************

Yiyang County, Xinye Hao clan.

"The eldest prince? Hmph, if there is no help from us, how can he Liu Jingsheng sit in Jingzhou? When some scholars in Xinye saw Liu Biao's appointment, they immediately snorted coldly: "Since you are restless as a state pastor, don't blame me for being ruthless, and then look for a good master." "Ready to move.

*****************

Xiangyang, Cai's family.

"The lord has done this, and Jingzhou has become a laughing stock!" Cai Mao flashed a burst of disdain for the name of the eldest prince Liu Qi, and said with a smile: "Leave it for jokes in the future, my Cai family is the largest family in Jingzhou, and Jingzhou can not do without Liu Jingsheng, but it cannot be without the Cai family." ”

"If Yiyang County falls into the hands of others, then it's no wonder that my Cai family is ruthless. Lord?! Cai Mao snorted coldly and said.

The three brothers Cai Zhong, Cai He, and Cai Xun looked at each other and smiled, tacitly.

Many families in Jingzhou watched coldly, and most of them were dissatisfied with Liu Biao's cronyism, and they immediately laughed as soon as the opportunity came, gaining a chance for themselves to be promoted.

Before Liu Qi took office, he was already in turmoil in secret. At this time, Liu Qi was planning to give a big gift to Yuan Shu, the fourth and third dukes, when Xin Cai left Runan County.

Liu Qi, Xun Yu and others were discussing major matters in the Chen family, and someone outside reported: "Lord Yu, there are several people outside, and they are old friends of the Taigong and come to visit." ”

Mrs. Chen's deceased? Who the hell is it?
