Liu Biao smiled, waved his hand to Liu An outside the door, and ordered him to go to the study to move the books on the east shelf.

After a while, I saw Liu Biao take out a roll of bamboo slips from his baggage, and said to Liu Qi: "This is what I ordered Song Zhen, Qi Wumin and others to compile, which concentrates the scriptures and thoughts of our Jingzhou scholars, which can be said to be the essence of our Jingzhou scholars. ”

"Thank you, father, the child must take the time to read carefully." Liu Qi took over this scroll, and couldn't help but be excited, because even if he couldn't comprehend this scroll, it could be used to attract the attention of those who were full of Confucianism, and he could also lend it to those scholars under his command, such as Yu Chuan and others, so that they could further improve their knowledge, which could not only be used to enhance their loyalty, but also play an important role in recruiting Confucian masters and developing Confucian education.

Unexpectedly, Liu Biao was not finished, took out some bamboo slips, and said to Liu Qi: "This is my five volumes, you can take them to Yu Zhongxiang, the master of Yixue, so that he can see his father's achievements in Yixue and may not lose to him." ”

"No." Liu Qi respectfully took the bamboo slips, rubbing them like a treasure, his eyes were full of surprise.

"Hehe, for my father to see that you are so devout and studious, and my heart is comforted, today I will simply pass on all my skills to you, this is for my father to organize my Jingzhou astrological phenomena to compile many knowledge, including astrological auspiciousness, celestial prediction, etc., those who march and fight must not be observed, you can also take it away, it may be helpful for you to march and fight in the future."

Liu Biao pointed to the last few volumes of the book in the baggage and said with a smile.

"Thank you for my father's love, the child must study hard and live up to his father's high expectations." Liu Qi took these bamboo slips with excitement on his face, and secretly thought: "This is really important, with this day, at least the wind and rain will not have to worry about these things, if you master this knowledge, it is estimated that the legends such as the grass boat borrowing arrows and borrowing the east wind are likely to be staged on you." ”

"Okay, okay, let's eat quickly, the food is cold, such a good meal, we can't waste it, not to mention Qi'er, you said it, who knows that the Chinese food and grains are all hard, and the father can't be a waste of food." Liu Biao picked up a dumpling and ate it with relish.

After dinner, he chatted with his father about some major events in the world, and Liu Qi said goodbye to his father and Cai's and returned to his own room.

This time, the two of them can be said to have won a big victory, not only won Liu Biao's trust, but also obtained the scriptures taught by Liu Biao, Kuai Ruyu also won the recognition of her in-laws from the surface, and left the sea of qi to play a good lesson for Liu Cong.

Although Liu Qi is more able to find a way to win his father's favor because someone has territory and prestige in his hands, he is not afraid of Cai and Liu Cong, and even a little single, even if Liu Cong really inherits the position of Jingzhou Mu, he is not worried, but now because Kuai Ruyu is married, he has to stay in the official residence to honor his in-laws, and he is destined not to be able to accompany her at home for a long time, so he still has to find a way to improve the relationship between his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law on the surface.

Fortunately, he successfully achieved the first step today, because Liu Qi obviously saw that Cai's liked Kuaruyu's food very much, as long as she hung her appetite, it was estimated that Cai's would have to accept her from the surface.

So Liu Qi decided to teach all the cooking skills he had mastered in his previous life in the next time, and teach Kuai Ruyu little by little.

Fortunately, my father in my previous life was a chef, and I learned a lot of simple but delicious meals from him, so I really want to show my skills at this time.

Therefore, in the next half a month, Liu Qi taught Kuai Ruyu to make steamed buns, steamed buns, flower rolls, baked cakes, fritters and other staple foods suitable for all ages in later generations, and taught her to learn some stir-frying, frying and barbecue, so that she could cook for Liu Biao and his wife in different ways, but also asked her not to cook often, deliberately to hang Cai's appetite.

Kuai Ruyu is naturally Bingxue smart, a little thorough, and understands Liu Qi's intentions, so although he found that Cai's food is becoming more and more inseparable from the food he cooks, he often deduces that his health is not good, the materials are not complete, and so on, so he doesn't cook and cook, so that Cai's can taste the unbearable meals made by the blisters.

Cai's helplessness had to be more and more kind to Kuai Ruyu, at least on the surface, which made Liu Biao feel more and more gratified, his family and Jingxiang two families married, and these two women are so harmonious, which reflects from behind the two families are still relatively cooperative, which is very important for the stability of Jingxiang and even the entire Jingzhou.

And just when it seemed that everything was calm, the situation in the whole world suddenly changed dramatically, Sun Ce, who was far away in Jiangdong, immediately prepared to compete with Liu Qi for Yuzhang after recovering from his injuries, and completely controlled the four counties of Jiangdong, this time mobilizing an army of seventy or eighty thousand, concentrated in Lingyang, and at the same time sent a naval army to block the downstream waterways to strictly prevent the threat of the Ganning naval army.

At the same time, Sun Ce also united with Cao Cao to jointly deal with the forces in Jingzhou, asking Cao Cao to lead the army of Xuzhou and Jiujiang County to attack Lujiang, and led the army to conquer Zhang Xiu in Nanyang again, and plotted to attack Liu Biao from the east and west.

Cao Cao was worried about Liu Qi's rapid expansion, which brought a threat of Yan zhòng to himself, coupled with the recent pacification of Xuzhou, the new general Guan Yu, when he was proud in his heart, he agreed to Sun Ce's request, and ordered the general Cao Ren to unify the army of 40,000, hold the festival, supervise Xu Yangzhu's military, and lead Zhang Liao, Hou Cheng, Song Xian, Wei Xu, Zhu Ling and other generals to attack Lujiang, and personally led Guan Yu, Xu Chu, Cao Hong, Li Dian, Le Jin, Xun You and others, and led 30,000 troops to march to Yuxian County, so as to completely solve the future trouble, and relieve the future trouble for the decisive battle with Yuan Shao.

As for this time, although Yuan Shao also listened to his adviser Guo Tu and Jian Yi, and selected 100,000 elite soldiers and 10,000 horses to prepare to attack Xu Du in the south to eliminate Cao Cao, this matter originally made the court panic, but Guo Jia thought that Yuan Shao was late and suspicious, and he would not come quickly, as long as he was a suspicious soldier on the front line, and ordered the general to guard the south bank of the river, Yuan Shao would not dare to come, not to mention that now Liu Biao is surrounded by enemies, and he cannot send troops to help Zhang Xiu, and now Zhang Xiu is isolated, which is a good opportunity to eliminate him.

At the same time, Guo Jia also said to Cao Cao: "But I secretly promised Cai Mao to support him to abolish Chang Liyu and let him help him break Zhang Xiu." ”

And it was precisely because of listening to Guo Jia's advice that Cao Cao decided to attack Yu County, otherwise he would rather defend Xu Du with a deep ditch and a high fortress than rashly attack Zhang Xiu.

In addition to Cao Cao, Liu Zhang also agreed to unite with Sun Ce, sent Zhao Yunshuai 20,000 troops to attack Wuxian, and sent Zhu Liao to attack Wuling.

Zhu Liao saw that Liu Zhang was cowardly and didn't want to send troops, but Zhu Bao persuaded him to take the opportunity to ask Liu Zhang for troops and food, and then Liu Zhang's forces annexed Wuling, and then Xu Tu divided the territory, which was much better than being a servant under Liu Zhang, Zhu Liao accepted his son's Jianyì, so he decided to accept Liu Zhang's order, and after asking Liu Zhang for a large amount of grain and grass materials, he recruited 30,000 male soldiers and decided to attack Wuling, which Pei Qian guarded.

In order to be able to attack Wuling with all his might, Zhu Liao also specially sent people to Jiaozhi Taishou Shixie to give gifts, asking Shixie not to participate in the war, Shixie had few soldiers in the city, and he had already pursued a self-protection strategy, and Jiaozhou Assassin Shi Laigong did not give an order to let him send troops to help, and he was happy to be quiet, so he immediately guaranteed that he would be strictly neutral in the war and would never participate in the war of either side.

After Zhu Liao got Shixie's guarantee, he went all out to withdraw all the troops defending Jiaozhi, and formed an army of 40,000 to prepare to sweep Wuling and enter Lingling and Guiyang in order to become a king.

Liu Biao couldn't help but be shocked after getting the news, and hurriedly asked Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, Liu Qi and others to discuss and discuss a countermeasure to deal with the crisis.

Unexpectedly, Cai Mao had already received Cao Cao's guarantee at this time, and decided to go to "aid" Zhang Xiu by himself to help Cao Cao capture Yu County, as for the responsibility for the defeat, it was naturally pushed to Zhang Xiu, who lost the city.

So Cai Mao immediately stepped forward and said: "Lord, the last general feels that the primary responsibility this time is to resist Cao Gong, Lujiang is naturally responsible for Qi'er to resist, Cao Ren is a martial artist, naturally not a problem, as for Zhang Xiu in Yuxian County, it is natural to save, this time is the key to the survival crisis of Jingzhou, so the last general Wang Wei and Jiangxia Taishou Huangzu sent troops to rescue, presumably able to resist Cao Cao's edge, as long as they hold on to the arrival of Yuan Shao's army, our army will not worry, now the only thing that the last general is worried about is Wuling, the lord knows, Wuling Taishou Pei Qian is a native of Hedong, and his father Pei Mao is under the tent of Cao Cao in the court, once he betrays and unites with Liu Zhang, the last general is afraid that the land of Jingnan will no longer belong to the lord. Therefore, the last general will build yì, and Pei Qian will be appointed elsewhere, while Wuling will be supervised by Jiaozhou Assassin Shi Lai Gong. ”

After a slight pause, Cai Mao said again: "Also, Yicheng is the first place for Liu Yunjun, although Han Ji, the mayor of Yicheng, is talented, but he is only a literati, which is not enough to resist the enemy army, not to mention that Han Ji is known as a popular person, the reason why he promised the lord at the beginning was just fear, and now the lord is facing a crisis, and this person is resentful, it will inevitably be unfavorable to the lord, so the last general asked to be reappointed as the dog Cai Ling to guard here, and Han Ji was transferred to Xiangyang, any idle post. Otherwise, it will be directly eliminated to prevent future troubles. ”

Liu Biao's heart moved when he heard this, and he was about to speak, but he heard Liu Qi say: "Father, the child dares to guarantee with his life, Pei Qian will never betray him, and now Liu Zhang is planning to be in my Wuling, if he changes the general, it will inevitably affect the morale of the army, not to mention that although Lai Gong is my old general in Jingzhou, but after all, he is the assassin of Jiaozhou, if he is ordered to command Wuling, I am afraid that even if this battle is won, Wuling will be assigned to the territory of Jiaozhou from now on, and once Lai Gong has a different heart, who can control it?" ”
