Feng Ji was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then asked, "I don't know what advice the envoy has?" Ji must listen to it. ”

But saw Liu Qibing retreat from the people, and then said: "Qi has been learning the astrology with his father since he was a child, and later learned the art of life with Zuo Yuanfang, knowing some things in the future, recently watching the sky at night, and found that the stars in the north are dim, and the stars in the middle of the sky are bright. ”

Feng Ji couldn't help but turn purple when he heard this, and said angrily: "What? I treat the envoy with sincerity, why did the envoy come out with such vain words today? Returning to curse the general and the subordinates? ”

But seeing Liu Qi sighed, he said slowly: "How dare Qi curse the general and Mr., it's just that where the luck is, the general can't bear to suffer misfortune, just tell the truth." If Mr. doesn't believe it, he doesn't have to say much, but once something happens in the future, it's a pity that there is a kind and resourceful Hebei celebrity. ”

Feng Ji couldn't help but tense when he heard this, although he didn't believe that Yuan Shao would be defeated this time, but sometimes he would rather believe it than believe it, so he still asked: "Tell me, who will I die in the future?" Why did you die? ”

Liu Qi pinched his fingers, was silent for a long time, and slowly shook his head and said, "I can't say this." ”

Feng Ji saw that the other party didn't say that he didn't know, but that he couldn't say it, so he hurriedly said: "What can't you say?" Why did you hide it? If it is accurate, the subordinate officials will definitely reward the envoy heavily. ”

Liu Qi sighed helplessly: "If I say it, I'm afraid it will cause a conflict between Mr. and Lord Qingzhou Thorn Shi." ”

"What? You say it's the eldest prince? Feng Ji couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, because he had always been kind to Yuan Shao's youngest son Yuan Shang, and tried his best to help Yuan Shang seek inheritance, so he was at odds with Yuan Tan and the strategists close to him, Xin Ping, Guo Tu and others, and now Liu Qi mentioned that the person who killed him in the future turned out to be Yuan Tan, how could he not be surprised? I already believed it.

But I heard Liu Qi say next: "Ben will know from the celestial phenomena that General Yuan will be defeated this time, alas, this is also the will of heaven, the lieutenant general of your army will rebel against the enemy, and the defeat of your army will definitely be related to this, but sir, rest assured, Ben will definitely do his best to help the general, or change the decline." And if the gentleman wants to save his life, he will fall on one person. ”

"I don't know who it is?" Feng Ji couldn't help but believe it and asked casually.

Liu Qi suddenly smiled mysteriously, and then said: "Ben will calculate that your noble person will be the one with the surname of ten, as long as you can get his help, Mr. will be able to turn evil into good fortune and save his life." ”

"The surname of ten? The surname of the ten mouths ......" Feng Ji muttered a few words, suddenly jumped up, and said loudly: "Is it Tian?" Are you talking about Tian Feng? ”

Liu Qi smiled and said nothing, but he smiled in his heart: "This guy is really very cooperative, I don't need to say it to think of Tian Feng, hehe, the reason why Ben will persuade him bitterly is not to save Tian Feng's life?" As long as Tian Feng is alive, even if Cao Cao is victorious by Guanduzhi, it will be difficult to plot against Hebei. At least I can take advantage of the opportunity of the competition between you to occupy Yizhou and Hanzhong, so that I can truly occupy the entire southern region. This is stronger than the two countries of Shu and Wu in history combined. ”

Feng Ji got Liu Qi's guidance, and he had something in his heart, but it was inconvenient to stay for a long time, so he said goodbye to Liu Qi and left in a hurry.

Of course, with Feng Ji's wisdom, he naturally wouldn't want Yuan Shao to intercede as soon as he went back, and let go of Tian Feng, who was imprisoned in Ye, he was actually suspicious of Liu Qi's words, for fear that the other party was entrusted by Tian Feng and deliberately said so, so he secretly decided to wait first to see if this time the lord would really be defeated as Liu Qi predicted.

Even Feng Ji concealed Liu Qi's prediction of Yuan Shao's defeat, and only said that Liu Qi agreed that he would definitely attack Nanyang and then attack Xuchang. Yuan Shao was naturally overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately ordered a generous reward.

However, it was said that after Liu Qi sent Fengji away, he immediately summoned Zhou Yu, Jia Xu and others to discuss the matter of conquering Nanyang.

After listening to Liu Qi's plan to conquer Nanyang, Zhou Yu couldn't help but shake his head and said: "Now that Nanyang City is built into a deep pool, Guan Yu has the courage of ten thousand people, it is not so easy to defeat him, even if we are lucky to win, I am afraid that we will no longer be able to attack Xuchang in the future, unless we find a way to let Guan Yu fight Xuchang, and then our army will take the opportunity to attack Nanyang, but in this way, our alliance with Liu Bei will be broken, and the general must be ready to withstand the joint attack of Liu Bei and Cao Cao." ”

Liu Qi smiled when he heard this: "Gong Jin's idea coincides with Ben General, if you want to occupy Nanyang, you must take it by surprise, attack it unprepared, take the strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain, let Guan Yu go to fight Xuchang, and then we will lead the troops to attack." As for the relationship with Liu Bei, there is no need to worry, should we give up the great opportunity to recover Nanyang for the sake of a seemingly incompatible alliance? ”

In fact, Liu Qi's jealousy of Liu Bei in his heart was not much worse than Cao Cao's, but he knew that the recovery of Nanyang was of greater significance to him, not only because Nanyang was strategically important, it was the gateway to guarding Jingzhou, and it could also threaten the Central Plains and peep into Guanzhong, but also because the political significance after the recovery of Nanyang was particularly important.

Because Nanyang is one of the seven counties of Jingzhou, if you count the newly divided Jingling County, it is one of the eight counties of Jingzhou, and it is also the largest county in Jingzhou.

At this time, Jia Xu smiled and said to Liu Qi: "In fact, although we attacked Nanyang this time, Liu Bei may not dare to have a large-scale conflict with us, after all, Liu Bei is now a new place in Guanzhong, and the people's hearts are not attached, although Ma Teng and Han Sui promised to establish an alliance with them, but they did not have the heart of peeping, once Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao in the future, he was even more worried about Cao Cao, so he had to forcibly endure our capture of Nanyang." As long as we capture Guan Yu and hand him over to Cao Cao for disposal, Cao Cao deeply hates Guan Yu's betrayal and will inevitably behead him, Liu Bei will definitely be angry with Cao Cao, so he will definitely take Guan Yu's revenge as an excuse to send troops to deal with Cao Cao, and our army can take the opportunity to pacify Yizhou. ”

When Liu Qi heard this, he immediately felt that his back was full of cold sweat, because Jia Xu's trick of killing people with a knife was too vicious, and he believed that as long as the timing was right, for example, when Cao Cao had just won the battle of Guandu, he would inevitably kill Guan Yu angrily.

"It's just that Yuan Shao is my only ally at present, although he is destined to be defeated, I can't break the contract, otherwise, when I march into Hebei in the future, what face will I have to meet those clans in Hebei? But I can't offend Cao Cao ruthlessly, once I really occupy Xuchang, Cao Cao will inevitably try his best to deal with me, Liu Bei sees an opportunity, maybe he will also unite with him, so that I not only Xuchang can not be saved, I am afraid that even the newly acquired Nanyang will be lost in one fell swoop. ”

Liu Qi thought silently for a moment, his mind suddenly lit up, and he smiled: "Then it's decided, let's first use the strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain, transfer Guan Yu to attack Xuchang, and then send troops to attack Nanyang at the most critical juncture, and then lead the army to 'help' Xuchang, hand over Guan Yusheng to Cao Cao after capturing it, and then return Xuchang to Cao Cao. ”

"But there are a few questions here, first, why are you willing to attack Xuchang according to our intentions? Second, Xuchang is the place of the Son of Heaven, and the political significance is even more obvious after our occupation, so why should we return it to Cao Cao? Third, how can we get the timing right? In other words, how can we grasp the right moment when Cao Cao has just defeated Yuan Shao, but he has not returned to Xuchang? Also, how can the lord be sure that Cao Cao will definitely defeat Yuan Shao? Jiang Wan saw that Liu Qi was so sure that he couldn't help but open his mouth and ask.

Liu Qi saw that everyone else also had the intention of asking, even Jia Xu and Zhou Yu also had a trace of embarrassment, so he smiled mysteriously and said lightly: "The first question must not be difficult, although Guan Yu is brave, he has always been arrogant, as long as we are humble and generous, and then let Gong Jin say that he is sick to Xiangyang to recuperate, and Ling Ziming is temporarily acting as the governor, he must relax his vigilance against us and attack Nanyang with confidence." Of course, in order to be famous, we naturally have to send a messenger to Liu Bei to ask for Nanyang, with Liu Bei and Kong Ming's temperament, we will definitely not agree, so we will be famous. ”

Liu Qi paused, and said with a smile: "As for the second question, it is actually easy to explain, the land of the four battles in Xuchang is easy to attack and difficult to defend, even if we get it, it is very difficult to defend it, but it may lead to the alliance between Cao Cao and Liu Bei, so knowing that we can't hold it, it is better to be generous and give it to Cao Cao directly, not to mention, although we return Xuchang to Cao Cao, won't we ask for a reward like the Son of Heaven?" As long as Cao Cao regains Xuchang and saves face, even if he suffers a dumb loss, he will definitely not say anything. As for the third and fourth questions, it depends on our judgment and grasp of the timing, and I will believe that as long as we send more detailed investigations to inquire about the news, we will certainly be able to make accurate judgments in the most timely manner. ”

Jia Xu, Zhou Yu and Kuai Yue knew that Liu Qi would definitely have a more accurate judgment channel, but they were all interested in not asking, although Jiang Wan, Kan Ze, Zhuge Jin, Han Song and others did not understand, but seeing that Jia Xu, Zhou Yu, Kuai Yue and other wise people had indifferent expressions on their faces, they knew that they must have a way, so although they had doubts in their hearts, they could only give up.

"Since the lord has no opinions, then we have decided like this, Gong Jin, you are going to be sick in the last two days, immediately rush back to Xiangyang to recuperate, Xinye will be represented by Ziming, and as for asking Liu Bei for Nanyang, Ziyu will act as an agent."

Liu Qi looked at Zhuge Jin, who had a long face in front of him, and said with a smile.
