"Strategist, what do you mean by this?" Liu Bei asked curiously.

Zhuge Liang thought for a moment and said, "This star is so bright, there should be a fall of the royal family." ”

"Royalty? Who is it? Liu Bei hurriedly asked again, thinking that the current emperor was gone!

"Specific location calculation, Baoyu is better than me." Zhuge Liang pushed the meticulous work to Wang Baoyu.

Everyone's eyes looked at Wang Baoyu, Wang Baoyu drank a glass of wine without hurry, pretended to calculate, shook his head and analyzed, and finally said very confidently: "It should be in the southeast." ”

"Southeast? Can the fourth brother give us more details? Liu Bei asked anxiously.

"This person is still related to the eldest brother." Wang Baoyu hinted.

Southeast? Or a relative? It didn't take long for Liu Bei to think of someone, it was Liu Biao's eldest son Liu Qi, and he couldn't help but panic: "Could it be that Qi'er is no longer there?" ”

Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "Gongzi Qi is drunk on wine, and he was terminally ill last time, so I'm afraid it should be on him." ”

"My miserable Qi'er!" Liu Bei suddenly lost the interest in eating, tears fell like rain, and he had to turn his back on his breath several times.

Of course, it's not right to cry at this time, what if Liu Qi is alive and well, and he hasn't swallowed his breath yet? Liu Bei hurriedly dispersed the banquet and sent someone to Jiangxia to inquire about the situation, and he must report it as soon as possible.

When the people sent by Liu Bei were halfway there, they met a messenger from Jiangxia who came to report the funeral, and the messenger said that the son Liu Qi was gone.

It is said that when Liu Qi died, he was skinny and resembled a skeleton, and his body had no sweating function, but his pants were damp and bloodstained, which was very miserable.

After Wang Baoyu heard the news, he did not pity Liu Qi at all, and once warned him not to indulge in excessive desires, but he firmly believed in the so-called method of collecting yin and supplementing yang, satisfying his lustful desires, and boiling until the oil ran out and the lamp dried up, and died in middle age, and he couldn't complain about others at all.

When Liu Bei heard the news, he inevitably cried a few more times. But he did not go to Xiakou to pay his filial piety in person, but asked the messenger to hurry back and strictly guard the news of Liu Qi's death.

Liu Bei's strength is getting bigger and bigger, and he is Liu Qi's uncle, the messenger didn't dare not listen, and immediately turned back on the horse sent by Liu Bei.

Subsequently, Liu Bei sent an urgent notice to Guan Yu to Jiangxia and take over Liu Qi's territory.

Liu Bei was reluctant to divulge the news of Liu Qi's death, of course, because he was afraid that Jiangdong Sun Quan would know about it and come to Jingzhou again.

But how can this kind of news be hidden, between the messenger's back and forth, the funeral has begun to be fully handled, who doesn't know? What's more, the last time Lu Su saw Liu Qi with his own eyes, he was weak and would die soon, and he has been paying close attention to his death.

In fact, Sun Quan had already learned the news when Liu Qi was critically ill, and naturally he couldn't hide the news of his death, so he immediately found Zhou Yu and Lu Su to discuss the plan.

"Liu Bei's wolf ambition must be eliminated as soon as possible, otherwise, it will eventually become a big disaster." Zhou Yu has always adhered to this attitude.

"I have wanted to win Jingzhou for a long time, and I attacked Heqi before, but I was really powerless, and Gongjin's words are exactly what I want." Sun Quan nodded.

The two reached a consensus, but Lu Su came out again to pour cold water and said: "Now that Liu Bei's soldiers are strong and strong, this matter needs to be discussed in the long run." ”

Sun Quan and Zhou Yu both frowned, Lu Su was loyal and had no lack of scheming, but he always looked ahead and backward when he started things, which made people unhappy.

"Zijing, now that Liu Qi is dead, I just took this opportunity to ask Liu Bei for the four southern counties, as well as the southern county, if he doesn't agree, just take this reason to raise troops to fight." Zhou Yu said.

Sun Quan nodded and agreed with Zhou Yu's statement, in fact, Sun Quan also wanted to win a battle to boost morale, of course, if he knew that Liu Bei now had 100,000 troops, which was basically the same as his troops, he probably wouldn't think so.

As soon as Lu Su heard this task, he immediately turned into a bitter gourd face, with a big mouth, begging for Jingzhou! How could Liu Bei give it for nothing, it's just a fool's dream. However, the boss spoke, and there was no reason to refuse, so he had to take the group with his head down and take a boat to Nanjun.

Hearing that Lu Su was coming, Liu Bei hurriedly found Zhuge Liang and Wang Baoyu and others to discuss countermeasures, he didn't want to turn his face with Sun Quan at present, and he was still thinking about going to Xiangyang, and once he started a war with Jiangdong, it would be difficult to ensure that Cao Ren, who was stationed in Xiangyang, would not take the opportunity to attack Nanjun again.

After Cao Ren retreated to Xiangyang, he did have the intention of retaking Nanjun, and for this reason, Cao Ren also ordered the craftsmen to carefully study the unicorn beast that he had snatched, hoping to have a breakthrough.

What made Cao Ren very puzzling was that he found a group of skilled craftsmen, studied it carefully for many days, dismantled all the parts, and made another one as it was.

The cloned version of the unicorn looks exactly the same as Zhuge Liang's unicorn, and when put together, no one can tell which is the original and which is new.

However, there are certainly differences, and they are still significant. The unicorn on Cao Ren's side didn't move no matter what, it was simply a wooden handicraft, and it had completely turned into a dead thing. What made him even more distressed was that the original parts were combined again, and the unicorn beast that he had snatched didn't move.

Cao Ren was furious and asked the craftsmen to study carefully and find the root of the problem. It's just that after being improved again and again, new unicornmon are cloned one after another, and none of them will move.

"Military advisor, fourth brother, now that Qi'er is dead, then Lu Su must come to ask for Jingzhou, how to answer?" Liu Bei asked with a bitter face.

"Don't worry, don't worry, Liang has his own countermeasures." Zhuge Liang disagreed.

"Lu Su can still deal with it, I'm afraid that Sun Quan is determined to ask for it." Liu Bei was still a little worried.

"Hehe, whoever comes is in vain, Jingzhou was originally surnamed Liu, how could it be surnamed Sun!" Wang Baoyu interjected with a smile.

"What the fourth brother said is reasonable, the whole world is the Liu family, how can Sun Quan ask for it." Liu Bei immediately laughed, and agreed with Wang Baoyu's statement very much.

After a few days of traveling, Lu Su finally came to Nanjun, unlike in the past, Liu Bei did not pick him up in person, but sent a half-old carriage to wait, the coachman was still a half-old man, after seeing Lu Su, he came forward to say hello with dead eyes, and then took him directly to the official residence.

Liu Bei's meaning is very clear, I am in charge of my territory, respect you Lu Su, you are a guest, I don't like to take care of you, you can't say anything, what do you like.

As soon as Lu Su came, he had a cold face, and he was very unhappy in his heart, as soon as he entered the hall of the official residence, Wang Baoyu rushed over from the side unexpectedly, and he was even more unhappy than him.

Wang Baoyu stepped forward and grabbed him by the collar, glared at him and scolded: "Lao Lu, you are too fucking a friend, you actually let people shoot me with arrows by the river, believe it or not, let you taste the taste of ten thousand arrows piercing your heart today?" ”
