Du Xian, who acted as the imperial envoy of the Son of Heaven, sneered, in the past, he and his friends from the same county defected to Liu Biao but were not reused, but he didn't expect that Liu Biao would die earlier than he expected.

The major families, wait and see, escape from the world, rich and rich Jingzhou, but closed the door to infighting, Du Xi is very familiar with Jingzhou, so he was sent to act as this angel, and now seeing Liu Cong and many Liu Biao periods of many civil and military are like this, Du Xi can't help but secretly rejoice in his heart.

"Where are Liu Qi and Liu Jingzhou, come up to receive the order."

This is the third time that Du Xi shouted like this, although his face seemed to have revealed dissatisfaction, but there was a smile in his heart, the more chaotic Jingzhou is, the more in line with Yuan Shang's interests, the current Yizhou matter can be opened, it will inevitably attract the attention of all families, and there will be some variables at that time, now that Liu Biao died at the right time, it will allow Yuan Shang to breathe a sigh of relief, at least, the big war against Shu will be much less disturbed, Yuan Shang did not have the unrealistic idea of eating two states in one bite, First of all, no matter how it will attract the same hatred of Cao Cao, Sun Jian and others, just in terms of the arrangement of troops, and the preparation work in the early stage is insufficient, and besides, although Jingzhou is good, it is located in all directions, and the water transportation is convenient, but it also leads to the need to pay a great price to garrison between the counties or each line of defense, and in the process of seeking Yizhou and pressing Jizhou step by step, Yuan Shang has not many available troops at hand, even if he can take Jingzhou from the tiger's mouth, it is difficult to hold. This is also the consensus reached by the officials of the General's Office and the General Staff Staff. As a literary thing around Yuan Shang. Du Xi can still find out one or two about the general's decision-making.

However, even if Yuan Shang does not have the idea of fighting for Jingzhou for the time being, he can't let others easily obtain it, and the effect of a holy decree is to tease the two brothers in Jingzhou, and its purpose is probably to make Jingzhou's troubled waters more confusing.

"The angel doesn't know, Liu Qi's son guards Jiangxia all the year round, and he is not in Xiangyang City."

A deep voice sounded, and Du Xian's eyes followed the sound indifferently. He is not a stranger to Cai Mao, and he also knows the little thing about Cai Mao and Liu Cong, but now Liu Cong is sweating profusely, but he can't even let out a fart, Cai Mao is naturally able to block a few words for him.

"Oh?"

Du Xian pretended not to know: "That's so, it's troublesome." ”

Du Xian's gaze swept over everyone's faces, as if verifying Cai Mao's words, and after a while, he nodded helplessly.

"In that case, ask the second son to take over this holy decree for his brother. There are other missions in the next place, and I can't go to Jiangxia again. Du Xun said helplessly.

Liu Congzheng was beating a drum in his heart. But he didn't expect that Du Xi would hand over the Yi decree to him and transfer it to Liu Qi, he was not stupid, how could he not know how hot this holy decree was.

"To pick up or not to answer?"

Liu Cong was sweating on his forehead, looking at the bright yellow gold shaft handed over by Du Xi, it was only a few quarters of an hour, he had been tortured twice by this question, and it was not appropriate to take it, and it was not suitable if he didn't take it, and it was helpless, and it was probably like that.

Du Xun patiently stretched out his hand this time and waited for Liu Cong to take it, he knew that Liu Cong would definitely take it, even if Liu Cong didn't want to take it, Cai Mao would let him go next.

Moreover, if there is such a holy decree, Liu Qi wants to be on the throne, and what will be the shortcomings, and no matter what, it will be in the interests of Liu Cong and Cai Mao and others to be detained first.

Cai Mao hurriedly gave Liu Cong a look, but fortunately, Liu Cong only hesitated for a moment, and finally took it, indeed, if he didn't accept it at this time, if he really let Du Xi send the holy decree to Jiangxia, then there would really be no room for turning around, there was a court edict, unless they completely tore their faces with Yuan Shang, otherwise, no matter how they could stop Liu Qi's ascendancy.

Liu Cong took the holy decree handed over by Du Xian, and held it in his arms, but there was no trace of joy, this thing came at too bad time, and the content expressed in it also made him extremely dissatisfied, but, as the Liu Han clan, the princes surnamed him could despise the majesty of the imperial court, but Liu Cong did not dare.

This is the bottom line in the hearts of Liu Han's descendants, Liu Cong is not as eloquent as Liu Biao, Liu Yu and Liu Yan, he just wants to keep it, compete for the foundation laid by the old man, and give himself a certain welfare in the second half of his life, let him fight against the imperial court against Yuan Shang, it is really a bit suspenseful, in terms of his courage, unless Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty is possessed, otherwise, if he wants to lead the crowd to kill Jingzhou, I am afraid that it will be more difficult than ascending to the sky.

"In this way, I have thanked the second son." Du Xi bowed politely.

"Words are heavy, words are heavy"

Liu Cong laughed a few times, and sent Du Xian away with everyone, and after a while, except for the Kuai brothers and a few people who said goodbye, the rest gathered under Liu Cong's seat.

Throwing the holy decree on the table casually, Liu Cong's face was gloomy and terrifying, and the moment Du Xun turned around and left, he completely collapsed.

"Yuan Shang deceived me too much"

Liu Cong's palms were heavily placed on the table, and his kneeling body shook suddenly, he was indeed extremely angry, seeing that everything was going well, he was left to find a way to deal with Liu Qi to take the position, but he didn't expect that at this time, Yuan Shang would intervene in the name of the imperial court, and the timing was so just right, if he hadn't been prepared, how could he have just left before Liu Qi, who had already come to Xiangyang with an angel announcing the decree for the imperial court.

Listening to Liu Cong's angry voice, Cai Mao's eyes frowned slightly, at this time, it is useless to say anything, the key is how to narrow the scope of the impact of this matter, and, most importantly, how to prevent Liu Qi from returning to Xiangyang, this is the most important thing to consider at the moment.

"Now is not the time to make a good living with Yuan Shanghao"

Cai Mao shook his head and said, "Let's think about how to deal with this hot potato first." ”

Han Song, Fu Xun, Liu Xian, Deng Xi, Wang Cang and others also frowned, seeing that the big thing was about to happen, but because of a holy decree, there were so many variables, and the thing came suddenly, which really caught them off guard.

"There should be room for relaxation in the content of the holy decree." Wang Cang was silent for a moment and spoke.

As a scholar-level strategist, Wang Cang is the most sensitive to words, and has the most say in a certain kind of information revealed between the lines.

Liu Cong raised his eyebrows slightly, calmed down and said, "How can you say it?" ”

Wang Cang pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Listen to the holy decree just now, we are all present, although Yuan Shang pointed out Liu Qi as the state pastor in the name of the imperial court, however, between the lines, there is no death, there are many places that can be scrutinized, among them, the word is the most critical, in my opinion, this may be a signal deliberately emitted by Yuan Shang, maybe, he is waiting for the lord to obediently hand over the benefits." ”

When everyone heard this, they pondered twice, and they all came back to their senses, and the more they thought about it, the more likely it became, even Liu Cong's face was a lot better.

"Do you want to chase that angel back?" Liu Cong asked.

"No hurry"

It was Cai Mao who answered Liu Cong, but he heard him say: "The news must have already come out, Liu Qi will receive the news soon, and it is not the right time to propose to revise the holy decree now, and besides, Yuan Shang will not agree." ”

Cai Mao said a little heavily: "The more chaotic Jingzhou is, the more it is in his interests, and the enemy who smells of it is probably already on the way closer." ”

Han Song broke his fingers and counted them one by one: "Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Sun Ce, and even Yuan Shu..."

"It's all the enemy."

Everyone sighed, in the past, when Liu Biao was alive, who dared to use troops against Jingzhou easily, Liu Biao has only been down for a few days, and all kinds of ambitious opponents have jumped out.

"What to do? Can you resist it? ”

Liu Cong slammed his head with a heavy heart, at the moment, the internal situation has not been resolved, the external enemy has already smelled of it, and each one is more difficult than the other, his road to the smooth promotion to the lord of a state is really difficult.

"If you can't stop it, you have to block it, Jingzhou soldiers are strong and strong, and I'm afraid that they won't succeed."

Unlike the persuasion of Liu Cong to surrender to Cao Cao in history, Cai Mao has not yet reached the point where he has to surrender before even the enemy arrives, the Jingzhou Navy is strong, and the foot soldiers are not bad, so he really wants to fight a few battles with Sun Ce Cao Cao and Liu Bei, and the number of wins and losses is also five or five, with this confidence, Cai Mao has no idea of surrendering at all.
