Chapter 282 Jiangnan Chapter (2) Jingzhou Chapter 1

Chapter 282 Liu Cong is a hindrance in the struggle for power, and Liu Qi is generally known as his father

In the previous document, we talked about the affairs of Eastern Wu, and now we will talk about the affairs of Jingzhou in the south of the Yangtze River.

Liu Bei ascended the throne, and the most respected person among the princes should be Liu Biao. However, his men did not think so. In particular, the largest gate valve representatives in Jingzhou - Cai Valve and Kuaijia.

Why?

This reason can be traced back to Liu Biao's wife, Xiao Cai.

As mentioned in the preamble, I will not repeat it here.

However, the story still has to start after Cai Mao Yin Fengyang took a turn at the gate of Jiaozhou.

Why would he do that?

Because what he had in his heart was not the holy decree of Liu Bei, the Son of Heaven, but their Cai Valve's status in Jingzhou.

In Jingzhou, Cai Valve is not an ordinary Shijia door valve, it is the first gate valve that is not to be discouraged, and it is the Shijia gate valve that Liu Biao relies on very much.

Liu Biao sent him out, and at the same time there were also the Kuai brothers in the army. These are all close ministers close to Liu Cong! At this time, if Liu Biao has three longs and two shorts, how can Liu Cong deal with Liu Qi by himself?

He's worried about these things!

After leaving Jingzhou with his troops, he confessed to Liu Cong, asking Liu Cong and Cai to talk about the disadvantages of this expedition in front of Liu Biao, and it was best to persuade Liu Biao when he returned in vain.

The visitors are going to say, how capable is Cai Mao, and what reason do you find to convince Liu Biao? Then Liu Bei made a holy decree, how can Liu Biao's attitude towards Liu Bei be easily flexible?!

Yes, he does know Liu Biao very well.

He knew that Liu Biao was no longer the Liu Biao who came to Jingzhou at the beginning of the year, and more often than not, Liu Biao looked like he was guarding, and he would never attack rashly! Even this time Liu Bei's will came, Liu Biao had to send someone to go. In fact, Liu Biao was not willing to send troops to fight at all in his heart.

It is precisely because he can figure out Liu Biao's mind that he is so bold!

Therefore, after he returned from leading the troops, although Liu Biao's face was very ugly, he did not investigate his guilt! In addition, Liu Bei's purpose in sending them to send troops at that time was also to contain Sun Quan of Eastern Wu, so the three aspects were not investigated, so it was naturally over!

However, when Zhou Yu's soldiers and horses left Eastern Wu again to attack Jiaozhou, the envoys of the Son of Heaven came to Jingzhou again.

At this time, the prince Liu Cong became a stumbling block.

When the holy decree arrived in Jingzhou, it was precisely when Cheng Pu's soldiers and horses entered the interior of Jiaozhou.

Liu Biao took his son Liu Cong to receive the holy oracle and arranged for the angel to stay in the post house. Liu Biao did not immediately designate the person to go on the expedition, which made Liu Cong very uneasy.

Let's say that that night, in Liu Cong's room, Liu Cong discussed with Cai Mao, Kuai Liang and others how to use this oracle to get a better opportunity from it in order to attack Liu Qi. It's just that Kuai Yue is missing from it.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Liu Cong asked, "This holy oracle has been passed down after all, who do you think your father will send to lead the troops?" "Being able to think of this, Liu Cong, the son of the world, is not two hundred and five.

Cai Mao snorted and said, "The lord didn't send troops immediately, so naturally he didn't make up his mind who to send!" Brother Xenodo has not arrived for a long time, maybe he was invited by the lord at this time! ”

Liu Cong looked up at Kuai Liang.

Kuai Liang hurriedly said: "Before going out, my brother told the lord that he would definitely discuss with him, so let me wait to discuss it first." This expedition is bound to confront Zhou Gongjin head-on, and it is not appropriate to fight! ”

"The teacher has this explanation, let's still discuss, how to persuade my father?" Liu Cong has always been very obedient to Kuai Yue's words.

Cai Mao said with a sinking face: "It seems that this time we are going to admonish the lord!" It's best to persuade the lord not to send troops! ”

"It's good!" Liu Cong actually didn't want Cai Mao and others to lead the troops out of Jiangling.

……

Just after they discussed for a while, someone suddenly came to report: "Son, the lord has affection!" ”

"Huh?! Okay, I'll go right away! Liu Cong didn't expect the people sent by his father to come over so soon, so he called Cai Mao to see Liu Biao.

Sure enough, it was Kuai Yue who was waiting on Liu Biao's side.

Seeing Liu Cong coming in, he hurriedly made a look.

Liu Cong smiled knowingly, and then went straight to Liu Biao and saluted Liu Biao: "The child has seen his father." ”

"Excuse me!" Liu Biao leaned weakly on the chair.

Cai Mao also came over to greet him.

Subsequently, Liu Biao asked: "The last time I went out without a fight, although Your Majesty did not blame, I always felt a kind of guilt in my heart!" It just so happens that this time Your Majesty has asked us to march again, Cong'er, what do you think? ”

"Back to my father, my sons think it's a big disadvantage to send troops at this time!" Liu Cong replied.

At first hearing this, Liu Biao was very surprised, so he asked, "Why do you mean this?" ”

Liu Congyan said: "This week, Gongjin commanded tens of thousands of troops, known as 100,000 troops, and drove into Jiaozhou Shixing. Nashi Yi set up a fake city in Sixing to wait. It is not yet clear which of the two armies will win! Although Cheng Pu's soldiers and horses have entered Jiaozhou, how can the king of Hainan be so easy to provoke? With only 20,000 soldiers and horses, how many are left? ”

Liu Biao looked at Liu Cong, shook his head and did not speak.

Seeing this, Liu Cong continued: "Father, if you send troops today, our army will be a chess piece, a chess piece to be manipulated by others!" In the end, you won't get anything, but you will lose your troops and generals, won't your hard work be in vain? ”

Hearing what Liu Cong said, Liu Biao sighed and said, "Hey! Today, the law of the jungle has long been like this! ”

Liu Cong wanted to speak again, but Liu Biao didn't stop.

He looked at Cai Mao and Kuai Yue, frowned, and said listlessly: "I guess you think the same way!" Forget it, you guys go down first, I'll think about it again! ”

……

They blindly shirked here, and the news soon reached the ears of Liu Qi in Xiangyang.

Liu Qi's thoughts are different from theirs.

He thought more about the interests of Liu Bei's group. Because he already saw himself as a member of Liu Bei's group, when he learned about the holy decree, he sent people to keep an eye on the movements of his father and younger brother.

Someone is going to say, isn't this Liu Qi a cowardly person? How dare you spy on your father?

As everyone knows, Liu Qi is also a very smart person! Otherwise, how could he find Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang to plan for his future life? How can a person who is willing to sacrifice his face to survive be a simple cowardly person?

Since getting the tacit approval of the Son of Heaven, Liu Qi no longer has been submissive to Cai Valve as before, and has gradually surrounded Wen Ping and Huang Zu by his side, and because of the martial arts competition in front of the emperor, his status in Jingzhou has been greatly improved.

In the city of Xiangyang.

The eldest prince Liu Qi, Wen Ping, Huang Zu and others gathered together.

But I heard Liu Qi say: "My father was bewitched by Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and others, delaying the holy decree, and we can't sit idly by!" ”

"Yes, what Childe said is very true. It's just that we have to understand why His Majesty tolerated Dongwu to attack Jiaozhou at this time, and why did he let us capture Cangwu and Jiuzhen? Wen Ping said.

Huang Zu shook his head and said in a brutal voice, "How do I know? It's a headache to think about! Or do you want to! ”

Liu Qi and Wen Ping smiled at each other.

Liu Qi suddenly thought of something, and said to Wen Ping: "Zhongye, is that gentleman from the Pang De family outside Xiangyang City still there?" ”

"Yes, go and ask him!" Wen Ping's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "His old man's house is outside the city, and I went to deliver something to him the day before yesterday!" I've been going there every month since Childe confessed. ”

The husband of the Pound family turned out to be the housekeeper of the Pound Prince. After Pang Degong passed away, he settled in a small forest outside Xiangyang.

The reason why Liu Qi was able to recognize this old man was because Pang Tong introduced him.

Liu Qi didn't dare to delay, and immediately set off to see the old man.

The old man seemed to be waiting for Liu Qi.

When he saw him come in, he said, "The tea has just been brewed, but the son came on time!" ”

"Liu Qi hasn't come to visit the old gentleman for a long time, so it's no wonder that he still looks at the old gentleman!" Liu Qi said very politely.

"The eldest prince laughed! The old man is dressed in white, and he is worried about the son. The old man poured a cup of tea alone, took a sip, and said, "The land in the old backyard needs to be doubled, I wonder if General Wen and General Huang are willing to do it for you?" ”

This is the rhythm of the two of them leaving.

Huang Zu didn't understand it, and was dragged away by Wen Ping.

After the two left, the old man said: "The son's intention is known. The reason why Your Majesty was able to tolerate Zhou Gongjin's attack on Jiaozhou was because you did not have the ability to capture Jiaozhou. And His Majesty is newly on the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and the world is looking forward, so he has to tolerate Soochow. ”

"Then Your Majesty asked my father to take Cangwu and Jiuzhen, so naturally he wanted to contain Dongwu?"

"Yes, Jingsheng can have a son like you, it's his blessing! It's a pity that he is now confused by the prince, and if he slows down, he will delay His Majesty's plan! ”

"Can the old gentleman teach the boy?"

"You should take all the soldiers and horses of Xiangyang, Fancheng, and Wancheng, go straight to Jiangling, and ask your father to fight, just attack Jiuzhen! Cai Mao sees that you send troops, naturally he will not fall behind, and Cangwu County can also enter your Jingzhou! ”

"Thank you, old man, for your advice."

"Don't be happy first. I'm afraid it will take some tongues to convince your father! ”

"It doesn't matter, since the kid is exhausted, he has his own way to convince his father! The war is urgent, so the kid won't bother Mr. here! After Liu Qi finished speaking, he got up and said goodbye.

The next day, Liu Qi took all the troops and horses under his command, personally commanded the forward cavalry, and made Wen Ping the main general to postpone.

Day and night, two days later, he arrived in Gangneung.

At first glance, Liu Biao was shocked when he saw his eldest son Liu Qi coming in disguise.

"You're not in Xiangyang, why are you here?" Liu Biao asked.

Liu Qi hugged the helmet in his arms and replied loudly: "I came here to block my father's mistake!" ”

"What's wrong with being a father? Thou hast uttered such a great rebellious remark? Hearing this, Liu Biao was furious. But it is also said that at that time, Confucianism and Taoism were prevalent, and officials put filial piety first, how could they say that their father was wrong?

How do you know that Liu Qi was not afraid at all, and still dealt with it calmly: "Father, Your Majesty's will has been made, why is there no movement?" Will the father disobey the decree? ”

"My father is drawing troops and horses, and it will take time!" When asked about the key point, Liu Biao defended.

Seeing that Liu was weak, Liu Qi took the opportunity to say: "It seems that the child is wrong, and I hope my father will forgive." However, the oracle has been issued, and it will take time for the father to dispatch troops and horses, and the oracle will be delayed, lest our whole family be implicated. Therefore, the child has already exhausted the soldiers and horses of the three cities of Xiangyang, Fancheng and Wancheng, so how about asking his father to allow the child to attack Jiuzhen County first? ”
