After Liu Qi finished speaking, Liu Biao looked at him noncommittally, and then asked Kuai Liang, "What does Zirou think?" ”

"What the eldest son said is extremely true." Kuai Liang first affirmed Liu Qi's inference, which shocked Liu Qi in the decadence, and then cast a grateful look at him. Kuai Liang nodded in understanding, and then said: "As the son said, Jizhou Cao Cao is a traitor in troubled times, and his desire to dominate has long been revealed. The reason why he pretended to support the orthodoxy of the lord's succession was nothing more than to show his attitude to the lord, that is, he had no intention of being an enemy of my Jingzhou, and he didn't want to turn against the lord. But no matter what the result is, it can't stop his ambition to ascend the throne and become emperor, thinking that a new emperor will appear in the world soon, which should be Jizhou Cao Cao Cao Mengde. ”

Before Kuai Liang's words fell, Cai Mao shouted impatiently: "There are only three princes under Fang today, and Cao Cao is not the only one who wants to be the emperor, and Li Li of Xiliang may have already had the intention of ascending the throne and becoming the emperor." On the occasion of the absence of a master in the world, the lord should be benevolent, inherit the ancestral industry, inherit the orthodoxy of the Han family, ascend the throne and call the emperor, and reign in the world! ”

Cai Mao's words spoke the hearts of everyone in the hall. Prior to this, they had persuaded them many times, but Liu Biao ignored them, did not express his position positively, and did not leak anything at all. As a result, the matter of support was mentioned again and again, and it was delayed again and again, and it has been delayed until now, and it is still unresolved.

"The ministers respectfully ask the lord to inherit the throne and reign over the world!"

Cai Mao carefully observed Liu Biao's expression as she spoke, but saw that there was no trace of displeasure on Liu Biao's face. Seeing this, Cai Mao immediately understood. Get up and walk to the center of the lobby and bow down. Cai Mao got up on the front foot, and Zhang Yun immediately followed. The Kuai brothers, Huang Zu and Liu Pan and others were not mediocre people, and they followed one after another to advise and persuade them.

A momentary transformation. Liu Qi, who was immersed in the gains and losses, was stunned, and watched everyone persuade Liu Biao to succeed to the throne, but he Liu Qi sat in place in a daze, motionless. At this moment, Liu Qi was in a trance, still figuring out what Kuai Liang and Cai Mao and others wanted to do, and they were still discussing Shujian a moment ago, why they were unanimously called emperor at this moment. It's going to be going too fast, isn't it?

Liu Qi, who was stunned, didn't notice it at all. Just when he was looking at Kuai Liang and the other six people in a daze, Liu Biao, who was sitting on the upper throne, was looking at him scrutinically. But seeing that Liu Biao's eyes were filled with a strong cold aura, Liu Qi didn't notice it, and was still looking at Cai Mao and the six people, not realizing that he had become a lonely person at the moment, leaving him alone and still sitting in the hall; It's like a lonely goose in the flock, too abrupt and conspicuous!

It's a pity that Liu Qi has no consciousness of breaking away from the group at all. As everyone knows, it was a moment of dullness, which made the few praises that his father Liu Biao had just come to mind disappear in an instant. thinks that what he just said is purely a blind cat hitting a dead mouse, purely clever, and his essence is still a prodigal son, and rotten wood cannot be carved. Suddenly. Liu Biao was really disappointed in him, and completely gave up the idea of making him the son of the world. Perhaps it won't be long before the prince becomes the crown prince. It's a pity that these have lost their relationship with Liu Qi.

"Everyone, get up, don't rush this matter. It also needs to be considered in the long term. Looking away from Liu Qi, Liu Biao spoke with a pleasant face. He raised his hand to signal them to take their seats.

However, Cai Mao and the other six people glanced at each other, and knelt under the hall tacitly, with a very clear attitude, if Liu Biao did not agree, they would not be able to kneel for a long time. In order not to anger Liu Biao, Kuai Yue said respectfully: "What the general said is exactly what the ministers want to say but dare not say. Now that it has been clarified, Weichen simply dared to admonish. Today, the situation is clear, and the three princes are standing side by side. After two years of development and consolidation, the power has been formed, and it is Cao Cao who tried to get involved in the Han Dynasty and ascended the throne as the emperor.

Compared with Cao Cao in Hebei, Li Li in Xiliang is strong, whether it is the state and county under his rule or the money and grain of soldiers, horses and horses, he is above Cao Cao in Jingzhou and Hebei. In addition, Li Li is the leader of the princes' alliance, the general of the world's soldiers and horses, and once coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, so he is not in a hurry to ascend the throne and become the emperor, with his existing power and strength, it is enough to command the world and dominate.

Since the Han Emperor was killed in the second year of Jian'an, the world has no owner, the states and counties of the Han Dynasty have fallen apart, the heroes have risen up to conquer each other, the princes of each town have divided the world, and the Han family has been declining day by day. If there is no lord sitting in Jingzhou and guarding the last piece of territory for the Han family, I am afraid that the Han family will no longer exist. Nowadays, after Liu Zhang of Yizhou surrendered to Li Li, the lord is the only prince in the Han clan who holds a male army. Therefore, after the lord ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, he will be the only orthodox emperor in the world. After speaking, Kuai Yue bowed his head and bowed again.

Kuai Yue's words made Liu Biao's expression change greatly, his brows jumped violently, a flush appeared between his eyebrows, and his deep eyes flickered. Obviously, Liu Biao was tempted.

Strike while the iron is hot, and make persistent efforts to forge a hundred forged steel. Seeing that Liu Biao was quite moved, Kuai Liang followed his brother's words and said loudly: "Last year, Jiangdong changed dramatically, and the two sons of Sun Jian's knees who were the most accomplished were assassinated one after another, so that the five-year-old Huangkou son was promoted to Jiangdong. And Sun Ce's son was able to ascend to the throne, all thanks to the support of the lord, coupled with the large-scale purge in the past year, the Jiangdong forces have completely surrendered to the lord. Since then, the lord has been in charge of Jingzhou and Jiangdong, dominating both sides of the Yangtze River, occupying half of the country, with 600,000 people, plus the newly recruited 100,000 troops, and now the lord has a million heroes under his command.

The lord has strong strength, enough to crisscross the universe, and is not afraid of any prince. Looking at the world, the only force in Xiliang Li Li is above my Jingzhou, and although there are hundreds of thousands of troops under Cao Cao's account in Hebei, they are quite inferior to the Jingzhou army. It is the will of heaven to inherit the throne of the lord, and I implore the lord not to hesitate, inherit the will of heaven, obey the will of the people, and reign over the world! ”

After this generous statement, he saw a flush on Liu Biao's old cheeks, and his nose fluttered, showing that his heart was already rushing and stirring, and the chicken was moving! (Excited.)

Seeing the Kuai brothers gushing in turn, Cai Mao is a descendant of the willing to live in the future, and no matter what, he can't sit back and watch their brothers be beautiful.

So Cai Mao decided to add another fire, and immediately followed Kuai Yue's words, and said loudly: "As the two don't drive said, the lord is a big shot of Zhongxing Dahan." As long as the lord comes forward, inherits the orthodoxy, and reigns over the world, he can recruit the civil and military talents scattered in the states of the world who are dedicated to the Han family, and then go north to the Central Plains, sweep away the traitors, and clear the world. Therefore, the succession of the lord to the emperor is the desire of the people and the expectation of the people.

On the contrary, once Cao Cao of Hebei and Li Li of Xiliang ascend the throne one after another, even if the lord does not have the idea of dominating the world, he will not be able to stand alone, and my Jingzhou will fall into the hands of others sooner or later. At that time, the Han Dynasty, which had inherited the Eastern and Western Han Dynasty for more than 400 years, would be completely destroyed, the Han family would no longer exist, and all the descendants of the royal family would be reduced to the remnants of thieves. This fire was a little fierce, so that Liu Biao stood up with a "poof" and was about to express his position, but for some reason the words came to his mouth and swallowed back, pacing back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back.

It was not until this time that Liu Qi, who was sitting in the hall, could see the door clearly, and only then did he really understand why his father Liu Biao had undergone such a big change in the past four years.

It turned out that as early as after the Han Emperor Liu Xie was killed, Liu Biao realized that the Han family was in danger, and the situation in the world would develop to the point it is today.

In order not to be exterminated and annexed by other princes, Liu Biao had to give up his original intention, turn his passivity into initiative, take the initiative to expand his territory, join the alliance against Yuan, and try to occupy the territory of Yuan Shu in Huainan. Unexpectedly, people are not as good as heaven, although Yuan Shu has been forced into a desperate situation by the Yuan Alliance, how can the emaciated camel be bigger than the horse, and the 100,000 Jingzhou army alone can't eat him; So Liu Biao knew the difficulty and retreated, and immediately let go if he couldn't take advantage of it, and led the army back to Jingzhou, which was equivalent to withdrawing from the alliance against Yuan.

But in this way, he inadvertently offended Li Li of Xiliang, and Li Li used this as an excuse to quickly send troops to occupy Nanyang County, which invisibly allowed Liu Biao to steal chickens and rice, but instead of expanding the territory, he lost Nanyang County, which was finally recaptured, and let Li Li pick up a big bargain and easily seize the huge Nanyang County.

After losing Nanyang County, Liu Biao had the intention to recapture and send troops to fight, but he had many concerns, suffering from gains and losses, for fear that he would not recapture Nanyang but would recruit Li Li, prompting Li Li to temporarily give up the battle of Hebei and turn his guns on Jingzhou. In order to avoid extraneous branches, Liu Biao gritted his teeth and endured it, completely gave up the idea of recapturing Nanyang, and then learned from the pain, and did not send troops anymore, so as to respond to all changes, and planned to capture Jiangdong or Yizhou.

In fact, even Liu Qi knew that the state and county that Liu Biao wanted most was Yizhou. If Yizhou can be taken over, although it is still the land of two states, the territory is no less than the Central Plains, and it can advance by land and water, and it can be attacked and retreated. It's a pity that Li Li took the lead in capturing Hanzhong and gathered heavy troops in Hanzhong, forcing Liu Biao to want to send troops to Yizhou several times, but he was afraid that the Xiliang army was watching the side, and he was worried that the Xiliang army would take advantage of the loopholes when the Jingzhou army and the Yizhou army were fighting.
