"Let's get started! I will recruit you today for nothing else, everyone also knows that a few days ago, Sun Quan of Jiangdong led the army to capture Jiangxia, and General Huang Zu was killed! We have lost countless elite soldiers, let's talk about it! What do we do next? ”

"Lord, Dongwu is a feud with us, and it is not the first time that the Jiangdong Sun clan has raised troops to attack Jiangxia since Sun Ce rose to Jiangdong. Although the Sun Quan brothers are young, their ambitions are not small, and the ministers think that their repeated attacks on Jiangxia are not just as simple as avenging Sun Jian, but they are afraid that they will also have the ambition to sweep Jingxiang and peep into the Central Plains! Jiangxia County spans both sides of the river, is the only way to go west to Xiangyang, for the eastern barrier of my Jingzhou, now Jiangxia County has been captured, our eastern gateway to Jingzhou is open, the situation is critical, the most urgent thing at the moment is to quickly send troops to repel the army of Eastern Wu, recover Jiangxia, and plug the gap! "Don't drive Liu first, speak first.

"Well, don't drive, don't worry, the lord has ordered Zhonglang General Huang Zhong to lead his army north to garrison Baqiu to resist the invasion of the Eastern Wu army to the south, and ordered Zhang Yun's water division to be stationed at the mouth of the Jiangxia River to prevent Sun Jun's Shuo army from advancing westward. With Sun Quan's current strength, they don't dare to go deep into the hinterland of my Jingzhou! Cai Mao hurriedly explained to everyone Liu Biao's previous deployment.

"The deployment of the lord is the best policy!" Han Song agreed.

"Since Sun Quan took charge of Jiangdong, he has raised troops many times, and the lord does not care about him in the spirit of benevolence, but this guy does not repent and intensifies! This time, he not only accepted the rebel general Gan Ning, attacked Jiangxia County, killed the old general Huang Zu, and also washed Jiangxia in blood, how could such hatred not be repaid? Take advantage of the proposition to immediately send troops to attack Sun Quan and avenge the old general Huang Zu! The general was indignant.

"General Zhongye, don't be excited, now Cao Cao's power in the north is getting stronger and stronger, Cao Cao returned to Yecheng after pacifying the four counties of Hebei, and built Xuanwu Lake to train the water division, and the intention of the southern expedition is already obvious! If we raise an army to attack Eastern Wu at this time, I am afraid that the result will be that the snipe and the clam will fight, the fisherman will profit, and Cao Cao will be cheaper! Don't drive Zhang Xian to disagree.

"Shall we let Sun Quan attack our cities, plunder our people, and kill our generals? Then what is the face of our lord who sits on the millions of people in the nine counties of Jingzhou? We, the high-ranking officials, holding the cultural relics rewarded by the lord, what kind of faces do the generals have to sit in this chamber and discuss the major affairs of the rejuvenation of the country and the state in the nine counties of Jingxiang? "The diploma is exciting.

"General Zhongye, don't get excited, Zhang Beijia didn't say he wouldn't fight, he just said that the time was not ripe!" Cai Mao hurriedly cleared the siege.

"So what do you say?"

"I think the top priority is how to repel Sun Quan and recover Jiangxia!" Kuai Yue said.

"Repulsion? Then you still have to fight, how can you do it if you don't fight? Wen Ping agreed.

"Can't fight, can't fight, Cao Cao is eyeing him, you can't guard against it!" Zhang Xian disagreed.

"That's it! Don't make any noise! I don't know who to listen to! Liu Biao was powerful, and the hall was suddenly silent. Liu Biao looked back and saw that Liu Bei had been silent and not strict, and thought to himself that this guy was a prince after all, so he should have an idea. He asked, "Brother Xuandexian, do you have any thoughts about this matter?" ”

Liu Bei was almost made by Liu Biao before, and he was originally unwilling to participate in the internal controversy of Jingzhou's high-level leaders, but at this time, Liu Biao asked, and felt that if he didn't say Liu Biao at this time, he would suspect that he would be more suspicious of his intentions?

"Brother, the younger brother thinks what Zhang Beijia said is very reasonable! At this time, it is indeed not suitable to quarrel with Jiangdong again! Powerful enemies are on the side, and you can't help but think carefully about your actions! ”

"Don't you want Jiangxia County? Jiangxia is the east gate of Jingzhou, if you lose it, Xiangyang will not be safe! ”

"Brother, come and see!" Liu Bei stood up and walked to the topographic map of the nine counties of Jingzhou hanging high above the hall behind Liu Biao. Pointing to the location of Jiangxia County. "Jiangxia straddles the Great River, and to the south is Changsha County in Jingzhou, where General Huang Zhong's 10,000 men and horses are stationed in Baqiu, and it is difficult for the Wu army to move south. To the north is our Nanyang County in Jingzhou, where 40,000 horses of General Wenpin are stationed! It will not work for the Wu army to go north. Jiangxia County Shuojiang is our Xiangyang County, where there are 60,000 main forces of the lord, and there are 30,000 sailors of General Cai Mao above the river. In this way, Sun Quan took Jiangxia and fell into the situation of our army being attacked from three sides! Moreover, Jiangxia County is far away from Sun Quan's Jiangdong proper. It was difficult to supply military rations. So I don't think Sun Quan will garrison troops in Jiangxia. It won't be long before Wu Jun retreats! ”

Liu Bei's words had not yet fallen, and the attendants outside the hall reported that there was an urgent military situation. Bring it up and ask, it is true that Sun Jun returned to Jiangdong with looted materials shortly after the capture of Jiangxia. Everyone in the hall immediately admired Liu Bei. Liu Biao asked the attendant to step back and continued to ask.

"Sun Jun really retired from the army as the virtuous brother expected, so what does the virtuous brother think we should do next?"

"Naturally, we will send competent people to Jiangxia to appease the people, arrange defenses, rearrange the political affairs in the county, and plug the gap as soon as possible, so as to prevent Dongwu from violating the border again."

"Well, what the virtuous brother said is very true, but Jiangxia's position is very important, and this time it has suffered another military disaster, and everything is waiting to be revived! Who does the virtuous brother think can take on this heavy responsibility? ”

As soon as Liu Bei heard Liu Biao ask him about the candidate for the Jiangxia County Guard, he glanced at the people in the hall, turned to Liu Biao and said, "The eldest son, Liu Qi, has both ability and political integrity, is kind and generous, and is enough to do this!" ”

Everyone in the hall was surprised when they heard Liu Bei's recommendation of the eldest son, Liu Qi.

Liu Biao was very strange when he heard Liu Bei recommend Liu Qi, "Qi'er? Qi'er was young and rich, and being the Taishou of Jiangxia is probably beyond his ability! ”

"Brother, that's wrong! Although the loss of Jiangxia this time is related to Gan Ning's rebellion, this is not the main reason! ”

"Oh? Could there be something else going on? ”

"As far as I know, General Huang Zu was short-tempered, often whipped his subordinates, and treated his subordinates unkindly. caused many subordinates to be resentful. In addition, General Huang's family has a big business and is a local wealthy family, so it is inevitable that the good and the bad will be uneven when the forest is big, so the relationship with the local people is also very tense. This led to Gan Ning's rebellion, and when the Wu army attacked Jiangxia, his subordinates and people refused to serve him to the death! ”

"Hey! Huang Zu has some bad problems, and I have criticized him many times about these things, but it is not easy to pursue him too much after he has followed me for many years. I didn't expect to hurt him! Xunzi said that water can carry a boat and also capsize a boat. It's a famous saying about governance! Huang Zu tyrannized his people and was punished by God, as his boss, I am also very sorry for him, you must take this as a warning in the future, and treat your subordinates and the people under your rule well! Don't repeat the mistakes of Huang Zu! After listening to Liu Bei's words, Liu Biao blamed himself very much, thinking that he was responsible for Huang Zu's death. and admonished his subordinates to take warning. Everyone was also very touched when they heard it, and they all said that they would reflect on themselves and take it as a warning.

"Brother Xian, although Huang Zu has had it, what does this have to do with your recommendation of Qi'er to be the Jiangxia Taishou?" "There are three advantages to being appointed by the eldest son as Jiangxia Taishou!"

"Which three?"

"First, Jiangxia County suffered a military disaster, and the people were frightened and displaced, at this time, the eldest son of the elder brother served as the taishou, which showed the determination of the elder brother to live and die together with the people, which is very beneficial to appease the people and gather the scattered people!"

"Yes, that makes sense!" Liu Biao nodded in approval.

"Second, the eldest son is loyal and benevolent, and if he is appointed as the Taishou of Jiangxia, he will definitely understand his brother's love for the people and implement the benevolent and virtuous government advocated by the sage, which will be of great benefit to changing the abusive government implemented by Huang Zu since he came to power and winning over the people."

"Yes. Not bad! Liu Biao agreed.

"Third, even if Jiangxia is the eastern barrier of Jingzhou, it is also a hub connecting the north and south of Jingzhou, which is extremely important for both fighting against Sun Quan and consolidating the rear to resist Cao Cao. Such an important place, of course, has to be put in the hands of reliable people. Could it be that there is anyone more reliable than the eldest son, Liu Qi? ”

"Huh?" After hearing this, Liu Biao was stunned at first, and then laughed. I thought, this Liu Bei is knowledgeable and interested, and thinks about me everywhere. Looks like I really blamed him before!

"Those who know me, the virtuous brothers! Haha "Liu Biao, I held Liu Bei's hand, and laughed.

"Brother is too famous!" Liu Bei was very modest.

"That's it! I think what General Liu said is very reasonable, so let's do it! Liu Qi was appointed as Jiangxia Taishou. ”

"Thank you, Father!" Liu Qi hurriedly got up and went out to thank him.

"Qi'er, Jiangxia spans the river, the ground is connected to the north and south, the east is Yusun Wu, and the west is connected to Xiangyang, the strategic location is very important! I hope you will be cautious and open to good advice. If you don't understand, listen to the opinions of your subordinates and don't be arrogant! ”

"Yes! Father, children remember! ”

"Jiangxia is in ruins, thieves are frequent, I will give you another 20,000 elites to help you protect the territory and the people!"

"Thank you, Father!"

"Alright, get up! Don't kneel! Liu Qi got up and retreated into his seat. Raised his eyes and glanced at Liu Bei, expressing his gratitude. Liu Bei nodded with a smile.
