Jingzhou.

In the city of Xiangyang, the sky seems to be hazy, the dark clouds are dense, the black pressure is pressed, less than a quarter of an hour, the autumn rain is dripping down, and the ticking sound hits the blue bricks and red tiles, which seems to be a little pleasant.

Liu Qi, the eldest prince of Chu State, left his mansion, no one followed, a person with an oil-paper umbrella, turned around, walked for a long time, and came to an ordinary courtyard.

"Uncle!"

Facing this middle-aged man who was somewhat gentle among the elegant, Liu Qi showed a smile.

Liu Bei has always had the name of a great Han clan, and Liu Biao is the same clan as the remnants of the Han Dynasty in the past, although he can't fight together in eight lifetimes, but Liu Qi still respectfully calls him uncle.

"Prince, don't be polite, please take a seat!"

Liu Bei smiled slightly, his smile was like a dreamy spring breeze, which made people feel a trace of gentleness, and he couldn't see the bitterness and resentment that he had suppressed by Liu Biao during this time.

Since the Wei enemy soldiers in the north withdrew from Xinye, Liu Bei's life has been much more difficult, in the past he wanted to kill Sun Quan and let Liu Biao carry this black cauldron, but the matter was exposed.

A fallen son, he kindly took him in, he actually calculated his own, Liu Biao naturally would not be polite to him.

Xinye City, as the only place where he now lives now, has been pressed again and again, and the relentless blows from the military and political aspects have almost made him unstable.

Now he can't sit still, he can only make a move in advance and think of a way to relieve himself.

Liu Qi is his chance.

"Uncle, so-and-so was assassinated last month, do you know?" Liu Qi sat down directly, squinted slightly, looked at Liu Bei, and asked pointedly.

"This matter is indeed unheard of. I just didn't know that the murderer had been caught! Liu Bei asked with a smile.

"Got it!"

Liu Qi smiled coldly and said, "But the next day I was poisoned in prison." ”

In the past few years, there have always been people who want to die directly, if it weren't for his cautious life, I'm afraid he would have died.

Who wants his life, he knows in his heart.

"I don't know who is so vicious. I actually want the eldest prince to be my life! Liu Bei also knew, but he asked knowingly, he had confidence in Chu Guo's snooping, and how much of Xiangyang's affairs could escape his golden eyes.

"Humph!" When Liu Qi heard this, he snorted coldly and said, "Now that there is no tolerance for a certain family in Chu State, you can think of who it is, doesn't my uncle know?" ”

The second son of the Liu family, Liu Qi is the eldest son. Liu Zong is the second son, but now in the harem of Chu State, Queen Cai is in control, Liu Zong is Queen Cai, although he is still young, the entire Cai family is supported behind him.

And his own, but there is nothing behind him, so he can only support himself.

This time. It is estimated that the Cai family wants to get rid of themselves.

He couldn't sit still, so he invited Liu Bei.

"Alas. The matter between the eldest prince and the second prince, a certain family has also heard a little, and now that the second prince is about to grow up, and the Cai family is supporting, the eldest prince is in danger! ”

Liu Bei's eyes flashed with a different color, and he said in a low voice.

"Uncle. Now the wicked woman has taken control of her father, and her father obeys her and doesn't believe in my son at all, and Cai Mao's tens of thousands of troops are eyeing her, and a certain is in Xiangyang. Danger lurks, you have a good plan to help! ”

In the past, in Jiujiang, the two also had a friendship of fighting side by side, so Liu Qi has always trusted Liu Bei, Liu Biao suppressed Liu Bei, and he often said good things for Liu Bei in the court of Chu State.

"The Great Prince!"

Liu Bei thought about it, his face seemed to be a little embarrassed, but finally gritted his teeth and said, "There is a plan to help the prince!" ”

is really an old drama bone, his expression is enough to make Liu Qi more and more grateful to him.

"Please sir!"

Sure enough, Liu Qi bowed down directly and was about to salute Liu Bei.

"The eldest prince must not give this gift!" Liu Bei hurriedly helped Liu Qi and asked him to sit down, then took a sip of water before he said leisurely: "Prince, this matter is not incomprehensible, in the past, in the Warring States, Chong'er was outside and An Shen was born and died. ”

"Uncle means to let a certain family go out!" When Liu Qi heard this, he raised his eyebrows.

"This place in Xiangyang is now controlled by the Cai family and the Kuai family, if the Cai family wants to deal with the eldest prince, the king may not be able to keep the eldest prince, and the eldest prince will die!" Liu Bei said softly.

Liu Qi felt a chill in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Where are you going?" ”

Over the years in the court, the heritage and strength of the family, he has personally seen it, the Kuai family and the Cai family can be described as the two giants of Jingzhou, and they are more prosperous than the Jiangxia Huang family.

"Jiang Xia!" Liu Bei groaned and spit out two words.

"Why Jiangxia?"

Liu Qi was obviously a little puzzled, and hurriedly asked: "Jiangxia is the land of Huang Zu, if a certain family goes, wouldn't it be dangerous!" ”

"Wealth is in danger!"

Liu Bei squinted slightly, there was a sharp essence in his eyes, and said: "Jiangxia Huangzu, relying on the momentum of the Huang family, divided Jiangxia County, listened to the tune and did not listen to the announcement, the king has already had a grudge against him, if the eldest prince can be the king, recover Jiangxia, it must be a great merit, the king must be impressed by the prince, and get rid of Huang Zu, Jiangxia tens of thousands of elite soldiers and horses can be embraced by the prince!" ”

"But uncle, there are no soldiers and no generals under a certain command, why do you want to take Jiangxia?"

Liu Qi asked.

"A certain and the eldest prince are irreversible friends, and the soldiers and horses under a certain command are loyal to the eldest prince." Liu Bei said heartily: "The eldest prince goes south, and he can lend 3,000 elite soldiers, the general Guan Yu, and the military advisor Zhuge Liang for his use!" ”

Liu Qi is so easy to use, he can borrow chickens to lay eggs, if this thing is done well, Jiang Xia will be him Liu Bei, and when the time comes, he will have the ability to compete with Liu Biao for Jingzhou.

"Uncle this friendship, nephew will never forget!"

When Liu Qi heard this, he trembled, and the whole person stood up, and they all rejoiced: "I will go to ask my father tomorrow to transfer Jiangxia!" ”

After speaking, he couldn't wait to meet Liu Biao.

"Kong Ming!"

Looking at his back, the corners of Libu's mouth outlined a sneer of contempt, and he screamed in a low voice.

"The lord is wise!" Zhuge Liang wore a Confucian robe, a scarf on his head, and a feather fan. walked out of the screen and said, "With Liu Qi's help, we will definitely be able to take Jiangxia!" ”

"Kong Ming, Jiangxia Huangzu, not an ordinary person!" Liu Bei squinted, with a hint of worry. Said: "The most important thing is that the Jiangxia Huang family is deeply rooted and has forces all over Jiangxia, so it's not easy to deal with!" ”

"Don't worry, lord!"

Zhuge Liang's handsome face was full of confident light, and he said: "Jiangxia Huang family, there is only one way!" ”

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Following.

Xiangyang, royal palace.

Above the side room, Liu Dial sits in it. In the past year, he has obviously felt a little powerless for state affairs, and the sharp spirit of the past has slowly converged with age.

"Zirou, Liu Bei is in Xiangyang. And I've already met Qi'er, right? ”

Although Liu Biao is old. But his mind is becoming more and more calm, and he is scheming, how many things in Xiangyang can satisfy his eyes.

"Yes!"

Kuai Liang bowed slightly: "The eldest prince proposed today that he wanted to go out to guard Jiangxia, most of which was instigated by Liu Beizhi!" ”

"What do you think, what does Liu Bei mean?" Liu Biao squinted. Asked.

"Most of the things you do are Jiangxia!"

Kuai Liang opened his mouth and said lightly: "Jiangxia Huangzu, in the past two years, he has become more and more arrogant. Violent and unkind, he didn't put the court in his eyes, and made Jiangxia miserable for the people, and the people were panicked, and now the people's hearts have been lost, and Liu Bei in Xinye, who was pressed by us like this, must find another way out, so he aimed at Jiangxia! ”

"Do you think Liu Bei has Jiangxia, is it a good thing or a bad thing for Lone?" Liu Biao squinted and continued to ask.

"King!"

Kuai Liang thought about it, glanced at Liu Biao, who was expressionless, and said after half ringing: "Good thing!" ”

"Why?"

The corners of Liu Biao's mouth outlined a touch of coldness, and said: "Liu Bei, this person, the nature of a wolf, harboring evil intentions, and being ambitious, if he is allowed to gain power, the lonely Chu State, wouldn't it be dangerous!" ”

"King!" Kuai Liang shook his head and said bluntly: "A certain person naturally knows Liu Bei's nature, this person's ambition is so big, it is absolutely unbelievable, but now that the situation is in the situation, Huang Zu may not be able to suppress Jiangxia, and sooner or later he will be swallowed by the State of Wu, and the State of Chu needs someone to guard the portal for us, this person is not Liu Bei!" ”

It's not that they want to use Liu Bei, but they have to use Liu Bei.

In the past, Huang Zu still had some ability to defend the land of Jiangxia, but over the years, he faced Wu State, and he was bound to lose every battle, and he was overwhelmed by the pressure of Wu State's navy, and his spiritual qi had collapsed.

If he guards Jiangxia again, within two years, Jiangxia will change hands to Wu State.

But what the court of Chu wants to recover Jiangxia is, it is difficult to think that it will be against the family in Jingzhou, you know, the Huang family is one of the leaders of the Jingzhou family.

Now that Liu Bei has done it, it may not be an opportunity for the court.

"Wu Guo?"

When Liu Biao heard this, his pupils suddenly contracted, compared to Liu Bei, Liu Biao was even more jealous of Wu Guo, Wu's national strength was getting stronger and stronger, and he was thriving, and now he had won half of Youzhou, which made him a little uneasy.

He knew very well in his heart that the stronger the state of Wu, the closer the battle of Wu and Chu became.

Chu has never had the intention of going eastward, what he Liu Biao wants to do is just to protect Jingzhou, but Sun Jian is ambitious and ambitious, and if he wants to seize Jingzhou, he will inevitably provoke smoke and have to guard against it.

It seems that it is time to change the town guard of Jiangxia with another person.

Liu Biao thought of several fierce generals under Liu Bei, but he was a little moved.

"Liu Bei wants to use Qi'er to take Jiangxia!"

Liu Biao groaned for a while, squinted, his eyes kept turning, his eyes were deep, and he said: "A certain will fulfill him, but a certain family will not produce a single soldier, but I want to see that he has the ability to win Jiangxia!" ”

"If they fight, Lone just cleans them up together!" Liu Biao said coldly.

Liu Bei and Huang Zu are both the henchmen of the Chu State, if the two of them can fight, it may not be a bad thing for the court of the Chu State.

The snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits.

He became a fisherman.

"King, I'm afraid it's hard for me to do what I want, Huang Zu is not Liu Bei's opponent!" Kuai Liang didn't have Liu Biao's determination, and said: "Under Liu Bei's command, although there are few soldiers and horses, all of them are elite soldiers in a hundred battles, countless fierce generals, and the two righteous brothers are invincible generals. ”

"Zirou, don't underestimate Huang Zu!"

Liu Biao sketched a faint coldness, and said: "Jiangxia is the land of the Huang family after all, with a deep foundation, and in addition, Huang Zu was a fierce general in the past, and now he has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, all of whom are the elite naval army of the Chu State!" ”

The Chu State has a naval army, and Jiangxia, where the elite is all there, even if it is not as good as the Wu Navy, but compared to the Cai family's naval army, it is still a step stronger. (To be continued......)
