Xiangyang, the capital of Jingzhou.

When Liu Biao received Dong Zhuo's reply, he knew that Dong Zhuo had understood what he meant.

Sometimes the planning and arrangement of some strategies cannot be seen as right or wrong for a while, and it seems that you will suffer a loss, but as long as you follow the direction of your own plan, it is good.

Adults don't ask about right or wrong, they only talk about gains and losses.

Of course, there is naturally an element of gambling in this, but sometimes when the probability of winning is relatively high, it is okay to gamble.

After all, this is the opportunity!

And those who can succeed are all top people who can grasp the opportunity.

In the inner courtyard of Liu Biao's mansion, Liu Biao looked at his eldest son and said slowly: "Qi'er, for your father's order to go to Chang'an, Yongzhou, do you have any complaints?" ”

Liu Qi saluted respectfully and said: "Since the father has arranged it like this, he naturally has the father's reason, and the child has no complaints, and the child must serve His Majesty well in Chang'an City." ”

Liu Biao sighed lightly in his heart, his son is good at everything, especially like when he was young, but he is still too pure.

Liu Biao decided to mention Liu Qi a few words.

"Qi'er, when my father rode into Jingzhou alone, many people were not optimistic about my father, but now my father is the lord of Jingzhou, do you know the reason?"

Liu Qi pondered for a moment and couldn't figure out the joints, so he had to respond: "Back to my father, the child doesn't know." ”

Liu Biao said softly: "If you talk about it, it's simple, it's nothing more than a combination of vertical and horizontal." ”

"When my father first entered Jingzhou, he received the emperor's order, and he was a member of the Han family, so outsiders can't be lazy, and I am the biggest bargaining chip as a member of the Han royal family."

"In addition, my father made a wide range of friends in the early years and had friendships with many scholars, which is another bargaining chip."

"When I entered Jingzhou for my father, I thought of a countermeasure, who is good for my father to enter Jingzhou? Where are the benefits? Who can be used by the Father? ”

"Who can be friends and who are enemies?" "If there is no careful arrangement, how can I dare to enter Jingzhou alone?!"

Liu Qi knew that his father was reminding him, and after thinking for a while, he replied: "Father's ability is not as good as that of children." ”

Now that the conversation clip has been opened, Liu Biao is no longer hiding, "The Cai family, the Kuai family, and the Huang family in Jingzhou are not convinced by each other. ”

"Being a father is a member of the Han family, which is just the right time to integrate these families together."

"They are by the name of their fathers, and they need to be fathers by the power of their families."

But there's one thing that's crucial! My son must take it to heart! ”

Liu Qi hurriedly asked, "Father, I don't know where the key is?!" ”

Liu Biao chuckled: "The key is that the world today is still the world of my Han and the world of my Liu family." ”

Liu Qi seemed to have an understanding.

"It has been more than 400 years since the Supreme Ancestor of my Liu clan slashed the White Snake, and the orthodox status is unbreakable."

"Why did Yuan Shao and Cao Cao go to crusade against Dong Zhuo's father before?!" "That's because the current saint is under Dong Zhuo's control."

"But no matter whether Dong Zhuo is a powerful minister or a traitorous minister, His Majesty is still the son of the former emperor, and he is still my Liu bloodline."

"If you go for your father and raise troops to find Dong Zhuo's trouble, in the eyes of outsiders, it is not for your father to deal with Dong Zhuo."

"They will only think that the father does not recognize His Majesty's legitimacy, and if His Majesty's legitimacy is questioned, it will cut off the foundation of my Liu royal family."

"Qi'er, do you understand the pass?!" Liu Biao glanced at Liu Qi.

Liu Qi is not a stupid person, and after hearing his father's explanation, he knew what his father meant.

"Father, the child understands." Liu Biao bowed.

"Hmm." Liu Biao nodded and continued, "The rest of my son's entry into Beijing is useless, I just need to serve Your Majesty well." ”

"Don't worry about this matter in Jingzhou, although the Cai family, the Kuai family, and the Huang family are Jingzhou families, it is impossible to stand on their own, and in the end, they still have to rely on my Liu family."

"Now my father can mediate with them, but their hand is stretched too long, and your brother is young and ignorant, so don't blame him."

"The most important reason why my father sent you to Yongzhou is to borrow strength, borrow Dong Zhuo's strength."

When Liu Qi heard this, he saluted and said, "Father, the child has no intention of blaming Brother Cong. ”

"Don't be polite."

"For my father, I know you as a person, and my father only hopes that when my father is away in the future, you can remember your brotherly love and take good care of your two younger brothers."

Liu Qi said worriedly: "Father, the child is about to leave Jingzhou, how can he take care of his two younger brothers if he is not in Jingzhou." ”

Liu Biao shook his head and explained, "Of course, you don't need you to take care of your father when he is alive, but my father is now old. ”

"If my father dies, several families in Jingzhou will definitely not settle down, especially the Cai family!"

Speaking of this, Liu Biao's eyes showed a fine light.

"Cong'er married the daughter of the Cai family, if her father dies, the Jingzhou Shi clan will definitely support Cong'er."

"However, even with their ability, how can they be Dong Zhuo's opponent? If they confront Dong Zhuo, it will definitely be a dead end. ”

"Since it is a dead end, then Cong'er will definitely become a prisoner under the stairs, and you still need to talk about it for Cong'er."

Liu Qi didn't expect his father to think so far and be so pessimistic, he didn't know what to say for a while.

After a while, Liu Qi gritted his teeth and said, "Father, since my father thinks that Jingzhou is not Dong Zhuo's opponent, why don't you demote Dong Zhuo now?" ”

Liu Biao raised his eyebrows and chuckled.

"Qi'er. You are too underestimated as a father. ”

Liu Qi trembled, and said continuously: "The child doesn't dare, the child doesn't dare, the child speaks in vain, and hopes that his father will forgive his sins." ”

"Huh." Liu Biao waved his sleeves and said with a smile: "Let's not talk about what the Jingzhou family thinks now. "If he is attached to Dong Zhuo for his father, then Dong Zhuo can rest assured that he is his father?"

"Even if you enter Chang'an City as a father, who should control the land of Jingzhou?"

"Is that you?"

"Or Cong'er?!"

"Or do you want to give it to someone else?"

"If it is handed over to the two of you, won't the Jingzhou family have another mind?"

"Now that the imperial power is unstable, it is difficult for the families in various places to make up their minds, and it is still those families who control the counties and states."

"Even if Dong Zhuo's current reputation is monstrous, he can't suppress those big families."

Liu Qi listened to his father's words and hesitated: "What does my father mean, my father is waiting for Dong Zhuo?" ”

"After Dong Zhuo's strength increases greatly and he can suppress the Jingzhou Shi clan, we will have no worries?"

Liu Biao nodded, "Yes and no." ”

"If you can rule Jingzhou in the future, then my father will not have such worries, I am afraid that you will be regarded as a sacrifice by Cai Mao and others."

"It is precisely because of this that my father ordered you to go to Chang'an to establish a good relationship with Dong Zhuo, which can be regarded as leaving a way back for you."

Liu Qi nodded, "The father is hardworking, and the child understands." ”

Liu Biao patted Liu Qi on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It's good to understand." "I just hope you don't blame your father."

Liu Qi hurriedly saluted, "Father has good intentions, how dare the child blame his father." ”

"Haha." Liu Biao laughed, "What your father said to you today, you should keep it in mind and don't tell others." ”

"Pack up and get ready to go to Yongzhou."

"Yes." Liu Qi bowed and bowed, "The child has retired." ”

"Go ahead."

"Go ahead." Liu Biao waved his hand, and Liu Qi said goodbye and left.

When Liu Qi left, Liu Biao's face was cloudy, and he muttered: "If you give me a few more years, Jingzhou will definitely be as stable as Mount Tai." ”

"It's a pity that time doesn't wait for me!"

"It's the best option right now."

"And that Dong Zhuo is older than me, can it be said that martial artists live longer than literati?!"

"Really!!"

"Alas!!"
