Although Liu Biao is very relieved of his son, even if he sits in Yangzhou and asks him to supervise the military of Jingnan, but he doesn't have so much courage for outsiders, and now he is a little worried when he hears Liu Qi talk about the fact that Lai Gong, the assassin of Jiaozhou, will lead the way if he leads Wuling, he is a little worried, not to mention that although this Lai Gong did serve in Jingzhou, after all, it was not played by himself, besides, the other party is now a state assassin, and he will definitely not obey his orders as before. Now that he has sent Wuling to the other party, isn't it a legacy of raising tigers?

So Liu Biao hesitated slightly, and then said: "Since Qi'er guarantees Pei Qian like this, how can he not trust his father?" De Jue, this matter is so decided, Pei Qian is still in charge of the defense of Wuling, as for Han Ji, then let him go to Xiangyang to engage in literature first, and the Jiangling County Order can't be so empty all the time, so let my nephew Liu Hu take over. ”

Liu Biao said this, no one else has any opinions, after all, Jiangling is an important town, and it is understandable for Liu Biao to appoint cronies, not to mention that Liu Hu is a centrist, and he did not fall to either faction of Liu Qi and Liu Cong, it is the object of both factions, plus although this person is mediocre, he has no ambition, so he is a reassuring figure.

After Liu Biao finished speaking, he said to Liu Qi: "Qi'er, it is your newlywed period now, your father should not let you go on an expedition, but your family and country are in trouble, you have to work hard, this time you have to face Sun Ce and Cao Ren at the same time Nearly 100,000 people, you must be careful, you need to remember, it doesn't matter if the city is lost, as long as people live they are stronger than anything else, you are my Liu Biao's son, and you are also the hope of the people of Jingzhou, don't be confused, and put yourself in danger because of a victory or defeat." ”

Liu Qi could hear his sincere love for his son from his father's words, and couldn't help but be moved in his heart, and said with tears in his eyes: "The child knows, please rest assured that the father will definitely cherish his life, because the child's life is not only his own, but also his father's, Yu'er's, or my Jingzhou people's, father, the military situation is urgent, the child will go back to pack up, and then immediately set off for Pengze, where there are Sun Ce's seventy or eighty thousand troops, his ambition is not small, the child does not dare to slack off, and he must personally sit in the town to rest assured." The child waited until the harvest was completed and set off directly, no longer resigned to his father, and in the days when the child was not there, Yu'er would act as a filial piety on his behalf, and asked his father to take care of himself. ”

After Liu Qi finished speaking, he kowtowed to Liu Biao, and then arched his hand to Kuai Yue and Cai Mao, and then took a solemn look at Kuai Yue with Cai Mao on his back when he left, and saw Kuai Yue nodding, and then turned to leave.

Kuai Yue naturally knew what Liu Qi meant by that glance, it was clear that he had handed over Kuai Ruyu to his own care, although he did not live in the state pastor's mansion, but this did not mean that he did not have the responsibility of taking care of his niece, if Kuai Ruyu really had something wrong, don't say what Liu Qi would do to him, even if he was his own uncle, he would never forgive himself.

"Please rest assured, even if I Kuai Yue fights for my own life, I will definitely save Yu'er, even if it is the family members of those generals under your command, I have to find a way to protect them in advance, if Xiangyang is okay, it is the best, if Cai Mao's guy really dares to have different ambitions, I will definitely let them all leave Xiangyang unharmed, but unfortunately now the military power is in the hands of Cai Mao's guy, otherwise I don't even have to worry about this at all."

There is no sadness or joy in Kuai Yue's eyes, but his heart is extremely firm.

After Liu Qi said goodbye, Cai Mao also hurried back to his house under the pretext of an urgent military situation. After Cai Mao returned home, he immediately ordered 300 personal soldiers to disguise themselves as robbers and intercept Liu Qi outside Xiangyang City, and at the same time wrote a letter to Jiangxia Taishou Huang Zu, asking him to immediately prepare to raise 30,000 troops to go north to Nanyang to help Zhang Xiu resist Cao Cao, and specifically proposed to unite with him before acting in unison, and also vowed to ensure the safety of Huang Zu's army.

Huang Zu couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this, because his current strength is only less than 40,000, and 30,000 of them are naval forces, if he does it according to Cai Mao's requirements, I am afraid that he only has nearly seventy percent of the naval army to abandon the boat and carry out land warfare, but in this way, his elite naval army can only take its own shortcomings and attack people's strengths, these naval forces that are not even comparable to ordinary soldiers in land warfare are fighting against Cao Cao's elite, and it is not bad if they do not die, how can they absolutely guarantee safety? So why is Cai Mao so sure? Is this deceiving oneself or is there something else going on?

Huang Zu hesitated in his heart, so he immediately wrote a letter to Liu Qi, and ordered his henchmen to disperse to the waterway transportation arteries, watching Liu Qi's appearance day and night.

However, it was said that after Liu Qi returned home, he simply packed his bags, and roughly told Kuai Ruyu about his current form, and left a personal soldier captain Liu Bao to lead twenty personal soldiers to protect Kuai Ruyu, and then took Liu Shi and Zhang Tong to prepare to leave Xiangyang and go to the front line of Pengze.

Although Kuai Ruyu was reluctant, she also knew that the military situation was important, and after a deep farewell, she had to watch Liu Qi leave.

However, it is said that Liu Qi took Liu Shi, Zhang Tong and seventy or eighty personal soldiers out of the south gate of Xiangyang, preparing to enter the Rujiang River from the Han River and reach Pengze by the Guò waterway.

In view of the fact that he was attacked when he held a wedding, Liu Qi knew that he would definitely be assassinated by Cai Mao when he returned to Peng Ze this time, and he had already secretly put on soft armor when he went out of the city gate, and at the same time, under the support of all his relatives, he went out of the city gate in a mighty way.

Not long after Liu Qi left the city gate, he suddenly heard the sound of breaking the sky, and knew that it was the enemy who launched a sneak attack, and immediately dismounted without hesitation to dodge, and those pro-soldiers also reacted immediately, calmly raised their shields, blocked the flying arrows in formation, protected Liu Qi in the middle, and some also shot arrows to fight back.

After hearing a dense jingling sound, a whistle was heard, and then nearly 300 people were seen silently slaughtering them.

The soldiers around Liu Qi did not panic at all, and immediately took out their weapons and formed a formation to meet the enemy.

In a matter of moments, the three hundred killers rushed to the front and engaged Liu Qi's own soldiers in hand-to-hand combat.

Although Liu Qi's personal soldiers were far less than the other party, they did not show any panic and timidity, calmly responded to the battle, relying on the formation and the cooperation between each other, decisively killed the enemy, successfully resisted the first round of impact of the opponent, and also left more than 20 enemy corpses.

The leader of the enemy army in the lead obviously did not expect that Liu Qi's own soldiers would have such a terrible Su zhì, and they still did not see any panic when their own number was close to four times of them, and they resolutely formed a formation to defend, and they cooperated so closely with each other that they were simply invulnerable, so that their first round of attacks was not only futile, but also killed more than 20 brothers, and he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, he now finally understood what kind of army is really called immobile like a mountain.

But the leader of the enemy army was obviously not easy to match, and did not give up so lightly, he only hesitated slightly, and immediately waved his army to attack again.

I saw that 2780 enemy troops attacked again like a tide.

Liu Qi's personal soldiers still did not waver at all, and once again calmly waved their weapons, decisively killing those enemy soldiers who dared to approach, and did not forget to cooperate and protect the robes, so that the formation remained strict.

Although it was only a team of eighty people, the formation they formed was as tight and strong as Mount Tai, which was really airtight, and people could not find a flaw.

On the other hand, the more than 200 killers on the other side, although they have been used to the battlefield for a long time, and the camp is also strict, but the cooperation between each other is still not perfect, if they are not moving, they can barely compare to the formation formed by Liu Qi's own soldiers, but once they attack, there will be problems with the cooperation between each other, and a trace of flaws will be revealed from time to time.

Although there was only a trace of a flaw, and those experienced killers also tried to make up for it immediately after they were shocked, but just a trace of flaw could make the opposing army's army immediately catch it, and then quickly and decisively attack with the cooperation of the other robes, and long before they could react, they had already turned into a dead corpse.

"What kind of army is this? Such an army can simply be described as **, it has no flaws in itself, but it can quickly catch the flaws of the other party, I'm afraid that even the most elite armies in the world are just like that. Seeing that after this round of attack stopped, his side lost more than 20 brothers, but the other party was still as strong and indestructible as Mount Tai, and saw that the will of his soldiers was shaken, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, so he knew that this time it must be impossible to succeed, so he gritted his teeth and ordered the army to retreat.

But he didn't expect the other party to launch a counterattack at this time, although it was only eighty people, but in the face of these soldiers who had lost their fighting spirit, they were like tigers descending from the mountain, making them unable to resist.

But now that it was obvious that the army was defeated, the leader had no choice but to conserve his strength as much as possible, and then left behind hundreds of corpses, and then reluctantly retreated.

Not long after, in Cai Mao's Zhennan General's Military Division's mansion, Cai Mao was furious and shouted angrily at a general kneeling under the case: "Waste, nearly four times the enemy's troops, can't even treat the opponent?" I can't even kill or wound a few enemy soldiers, but you're still the captain of my most trusted personal soldiers, and you did such a thing. ”

"My lord, it is really Liu Qi's personal soldiers are too powerful, although our army has a large number, but from beginning to end, the other party's personal soldiers have no trace of panic, and those pro-soldiers are extremely tight, and there is a seamless cooperation between each other, the last general led the army to launch two waves of strong attacks, but the opponent's formation is still not scattered at all, the momentum of the army is like a rainbow, and our army has no sharpness, and I am afraid that if the battle continues, I am afraid that only the whole army will be wiped out, and the last general is helpless, so he ordered to retreat, otherwise, once left to the other party, I'm afraid the adults will be exposed. ”

"What? Liu Qi's personal soldiers are really so powerful? Cai Mao knew that the captain of his own soldiers was absolutely loyal to him, and what he said could not be false, so he couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard it.

After thinking about it for a while, Cai Mao comforted the captain of the pro-soldier for a few words, waved his hand to let him retreat, and then said slowly: "I really didn't expect Liu Qi, a waste, to be able to train such an elite pro-soldier team, it seems that I, Cai Mao, still underestimate him, originally this time I just wanted to drive Zhang Xiu out of Sui County, control Nanyang by my own cronies, and promise Cao Cao not to infringe on him, but now it seems that I can only obediently cooperate with Cao Cao, because if I don't borrow his hand, it will be difficult to get rid of this waste." Hmph, Liu Qi, you have gone through so much hard work to open up so much land, once you die, it will not still belong to us? I really don't know what kind of expression you will have in the future? ”
