Chapter 283 Jiangnan Chapter (2) Jingzhou Chapter 2

Chapter 283 was awarded to Liu Qi for loyalty, and Cai Mao sent troops for fame and fortune

In the above document, it is mentioned that Liu Qi used all the soldiers and horses in Xiangyang and other places, and personally acted as the vanguard, with 3,000 cavalry, and ran to Jiangling to ask his father for battle.

Considering the interests of the family, Liu Biao had no choice but to agree to Liu Qi's request, and he also took the opportunity to reply to the angel.

And after getting Liu Qi's soldiers and horses, the angel went straight to the outside of the city to look for Liu Qi.

"The adults deigned to come to see him, Qi Cheng was terrified!" Liu Qi hurriedly introduced the angel into the tent.

The angel entered the tent with Liu Qi, finished the salute, and said: "The old man is a speaker under the command of Lord Zhuge Kongming of Zuo Guangluqing, surnamed Yuan Mingba, a native of Nanyang. Knowing that the eldest son is here, he came with His Majesty's dictation. ”

Hearing this, Liu Qi hurriedly took off his clothes and bowed: "The minister accepts the order." ”

"Your Majesty's dictation, canonize Liu Qi's eldest son as the general of Zhechong, seal the liehou, lead the Jiangnan military affairs, and conquer the state." Yuan Ba conveyed the dictation of Liu Bei, the Emperor of Zhangwu.

"Your Majesty respectfully obeys your command! Thank you, Lord Longne! Liu Qi hurriedly thanked him.

This is Liu Bei's canonization of Liu Qi.

In other words, Liu Qi was already a member of the imperial court, not a member of the Jiangling King of Jingzhou. In this step, Liu Qi has gone much farther than Liu Cong.

At this time, Liu Cong was still using his brains on how to inherit his father's title, instead of how to fight for his own title? !

Picking up Liu Qi, Yuan Ba said: "General, Your Majesty attaches great importance to you and knows your situation!" ”

"Thank you for your kindness, and please ask your Excellency to greet his old man." Liu Qi said very respectfully.

"As the eldest son, the general does not think about power, but he has always put the community first. That's why Your Majesty values you so much. After His Majesty ascended the throne, Jingzhou was very variable, if it weren't for the general's strong support for the prince, I am afraid that just Cai Valve would be enough for King Jiangling to have a headache. Although Yuan Ba had compliments in his words, he said the truth.

Liu Qi smiled slightly and said, "I am from my own clan, and I am from the same clan as Your Majesty. Your Majesty inherited the legacy of the first emperor and ascended the throne, conforming to the will of heaven, and the people's hearts are all wanted, how can I not return Jingzhou to the king?! My uncle used to have a difference in his heart, but he was afraid that the interests of the family would be damaged! Qi thought that His Majesty would never blame the Cai family for this! ”

"The general still knows Your Majesty!" Yuan Ba saw that Liu Qi's brows furrowed a little, and knew that this topic should not be mentioned again, so he changed his words and said, "Is the general really confident in taking nine?" ”

Liu Qi shook his head, sighed and said, "Although I have 40,000 elite soldiers, there are also more than 10,000 defenders in Jiuzhen City, plus the city walls are thick!" But in my heart, I don't have much confidence that I can win it before Zhou Yu captures Jiaozhi! ”

"Your Majesty asked me to tell the general, the besiegers, should attack their hearts first; If his heart is defeated, the soldiers will take his city without blood. Don't attack its heart, but attack its strength, although you take the city, you will die for life! Yuan Ba said.

"The besiegers should attack their hearts first? Siegers should attack their hearts first! Liu Qi muttered and repeated.

……

After a while, seeing that Liu Qi was fascinated, Yuan Ba resigned.

When he left the camp, it happened to be Wenpin, and he hurriedly said hello to Wenpin and left.

"Yuan Ba? Nanyang native Yuan Ba? What is he here for? Looking at Yuan Ba's distant figure, Wen Ping muttered in his heart.

Wen Ping recognized him because their brothers had all worked under Yuan Shu. The two brothers are literate and martial, Yuan Ba is a scribe and is quite famous in plain life, while his younger brother Yuan Huan is a warrior and his martial arts are also considered medium-skilled, so the two worked together under Yuan Shu, but they also left a good story.

At that time, Wen Ping had crossed paths with their brothers in Nanyang, so he knew them.

"What is this man doing here?" Wen Ping called someone over, pointed at Yuan Ba and asked.

"He's here to find the eldest son. It is said that it was a messenger sent by His Majesty, and he also passed on His Majesty's dictation and canonized the eldest son as General Zhichong. The person who came said with a fluttering eyebrow.

"There is such a thing! It seems that their brother has really entered the DPRK to do things! Muttering, Wen Ping walked quickly towards Liu Qi's big tent.

"Childe!" Outside the tent, Wen Ping shouted.

"Ahh Come on in! ”

Wen Ping opened the curtain of the tent, walked in, and saw Liu Qi sitting in front of the desk in a daze, so he asked, "Childe, just now I saw Yuan Ba hurriedly leaving the camp......

"Ou, he is here to convey His Majesty's message. I have just been made a general, the Marquis of Baile. Liu Qi said with a smile.

Sure enough, Wen Ping was confirmed, and he also congratulated his lord with a smile: "Great! Childe is now considered an official of the imperial court! ”

"Yes! I have the seal sealed by the imperial court, so naturally I am not afraid of my aunt! However, before leaving, Lord Yuan also conveyed another message from His Majesty, which I don't understand! Liu Qi then repeated Yuan Ba's words.

"The besieger should attack his heart first; If his heart is defeated, the soldiers will take his city without blood. Don't attack its heart, but attack its strength, although you take the city, you will die for life! Wen Ping also repeated, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said, "Childe, the so-called upper soldier and middle soldier fight." That's what Your Majesty meant. ”

"Oh?! You name it, come and hear it! ”

Wen Ping continued: "Does Childe know who the Taishou of Jiuzhen County is? ”

"Shixie's cousin Shizhen."

Although this person is a member of the Shi family, he has never supported Shi Xie's self-reliance. When Shiyi, Shiwu and others mobilized Shixie to stand on his own, he, Shiwen, Lai's family, and Shijia strongly opposed it. Therefore, if Gongzi can persuade him to raise troops and surrender in the name of His Majesty, wouldn't it be the best policy? Wen Ping suggested.

"If he can raise troops and surrender, we can intercede with Your Majesty, and maybe we can retain a trace of the blood of the other scholars! In that case, let's go as soon as possible! Liu Qi said, and then instructed Wen Ping to arrange it immediately and prepare to send troops.

Press them not to say, let's talk about Cai Funei.

Knowing that Liu Qi was coming with soldiers and horses, Cai Mao immediately laughed and said to Liu Cong: "He finally couldn't help it!" As soon as he goes, it's time for us to go to war!" ”

"Isn't my uncle not in favor of sending troops?" Liu Cong asked puzzled.

Cai Mao said: "I didn't send troops before because I was afraid that our soldiers and horses would go, but when the time came, there would be variables, and Liu Qi would have to go in vain." Now that he is out of his ranks, what do we have to worry about? A few days ago, Xu Duwu, he earned a lot of reputation! Now that the soldiers of Jingzhou know him, how many people know about you? ”

"It's all Zhuge Liang's guy who helped him! I'm so angry! Liu Cong slapped the table very angrily......

Kuai Yue persuaded on the side: "Shizi, this is not the time to be angry, let's go and ask the lord for battle, the soldiers are gray, don't fall behind the eldest son!" ”

Taking a deep breath, Liu Cong straightened his clothes and said, "Let's go, let's go see my father." After finishing speaking, he took everyone to see Liu Biao.

In the main hall of the palace, Liu Biao was trying to send people to find Liu Cong, Cai Mao and others, but saw them coming in a hurry.

"I've seen my father!" Liu Cong saluted Liu Biao.

Liu Biao glanced at him and said, "Excuse me!" ”

After everyone in the back finished saluting, Liu Biao asked, "What are you waiting to see Lone?" ”

Liu Cong looked at Cai Mao and nodded.

Seeing the signal of the prince, Cai Mao stepped forward and said to Liu Biao: "Hearing that the eldest prince raised troops to attack Jiaozhou, we are afraid that the eldest son's troops will be insufficient, and I want to ask the lord to allow the army to send cangwu to relieve the pressure of the eldest son!" ”

"Oh?! You have this heart, and I am very gratified! I just don't know who you are waiting for is willing to lead the army? Liu Biao secretly said in his heart, you are afraid that Liu Qi will take the lead! But it's also a good thing if Cong'er can personally lead the troops and horses.

He hopes that his son can do something like his eldest son, but this son only knows how to take advantage, where does he dare to go to the front line to fight?

I heard Liu Cong say: "Father, it's enough for my uncle to lead the army!" ”

"Huh?!" Liu Biao snorted, looked up at the son he loved, and asked with some displeasure on his face, "Don't you want to go?" ”

"...... this?" Liu Cong didn't expect his father to ask himself like this, and he was speechless for a while, not knowing what to say.

Cai Mao hurriedly said on the side: "Lord, Cangwu is not as true as Jiuzhen, the guard there is a shangjiangj who can fight well!" The son of the world is gone, in case there is a mistake, I am afraid that it will not be easy to explain to you. ”

"Deju, I know you love the world." Looking at the nervous appearance of the two, Liu Biao's tone eased and said seriously, "Since Xuchang Huiwu, what is Qi'er's reputation in Jingzhou?" You should be clearer. And there's something you don't know yet, right?! Qi'er has now been officially canonized by His Majesty, and General Yin Sui is already an official of the imperial court! ”

"Huh!?" When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be shocked.

Jealousy, envy and hatred made Liu Cong a little hideous, so he heard him shout: "Father, let me go on the expedition with my uncle this time!" The child will definitely capture Cangwu County. ”

Looking at this son, Liu Biao sighed and said, "Don't worry, as long as you can capture Cangwu this time, but the credit book will be passed on to the imperial court, and your credit will naturally be seen by Your Majesty!" At that time, Your Majesty will not favor one over the other! However, you should learn from your brother and be closer to the ministers of the DPRK and China! ”

In the final analysis, Liu Biao still loves this little son more than Liu Qi.

In his heart, he always wanted to pass on his title to this son, not because he thought this son was capable, but because he just liked this son. There is no reason for this liking, and it can be said that there is no reason for it.

Just like many families with many children and grandchildren. Old people tend to be partial to a certain son or grandson, and it is very difficult to get them to give a reason. Because they don't know what they are doing at all, they just rely on their own wishful thinking.

However, many tragedies are because of this wishful thinking, which leads to estrangement and chasm between family feelings because of jealousy, envy and hatred, and then there is a change in family affection to hatred.
