Shi Xie's cronies are all his relatives.

This is also the foundation of his management of Jiaozhou.

Except for Cangwu Taishou Wu Ju, who was appointed by Liu Biao before, the rest of the counties in Jiaozhou are in his hands.

After a while, Shihui and others arrived.

His eyes swept over, and Shi Xie did not waste time, but went straight to the point and said:

"Just now Sun Quan sent someone to join forces with me to fight against Jingzhou, what do you think about this matter?"

Shi Hui is the son of Shi Xie, and he arched his hand at the moment:

"Qiqi father, now that Jiangdong is in decline, I heard that its elite naval army was all lost in the first battle of Jiangxia before, and now it is not Jingzhou's opponent at all, so you must not rashly agree."

Hearing this, Shi Xie nodded lightly and said:

"The old man naturally knows about this, and some time ago, Cao Cao led a large army to conquer Jingzhou, not only did not have an inch of land, but lost his troops and lost his generals, and now Jingzhou is not the same as it used to be."

Everyone had a look on their faces.

Shi Hui also saw what Shi Xie meant, and said curiously:

"Then my father's choice now is Jingzhou?"

In this regard, Shi Xie said:

"That's right, my Jiaozhou is a remote place, and no one cares about the disputes in the Central Plains before. Now Cao Cao in the north has no time to go south, and Jingzhou and Jiangdong have been fighting more than once.

If now, I Jiaozhou chooses to unite with Sun Quan, not only will I not be able to stop the people of Jingzhou, but I will also be killed.

Even Cao Cao couldn't defeat Jingzhou, let alone us. Instead of waiting for Liu Qi in Jingzhou to send troops to recruit, it is better to submit directly to the letter, and there is no need to worry. ”

Speaking of which, Shi Xie's meaning is obvious.

Shi Hui hurriedly echoed:

"Father made a clear decision, and the boy will take down Sun Quan's envoy."

Shi Xie nodded, he looked at Shi Hui and said:

"Hui'er, the old man wants you to be the messenger and escort the Jiangdong envoy to the north to show the old man's sincerity."

In this regard, Shi Hui was not flustered, and said:

"The child will live up to his father's trust."

Inside the city of Xiangyang.

At this moment, Liu Qi got Huang Zhong's battle report again.

Nanchang City has been taken, and Sun Ben and Zhu Zhi have been taken prisoner. Liu Qi has heard a little about the names of these two people, but they are both famous ministers in Jiangdong, and they are useless now.

Of course, among the two, Sun Ben is Sun Quan's relative, and Liu Qi didn't think too much about it. The key is still this Zhu Zhi, his son Zhu Ran, who is definitely worthy of the last generation of famous generals.

This made Liu Qi feel very good.

At this moment, Zhuge Liang suddenly came to report.

Seeing Zhuge Liang in a hurry, Liu Qi couldn't help but be a little surprised, he looked at his military advisor and asked:

"Strategist, what's going on?"

However, when he saw Liu Qi, Zhuge Liang smiled and said:

"Lord Qi, it's a good thing that Liang came this time."

Liu Qi couldn't help but be curious, and asked:

"It's okay for the military advisor to speak out!"

Soon Zhuge Liang said in a deep voice:

"Now the son of Jiaozhi Taishou Shixie, the envoy of Jiangdong has arrived in Xiangyang, and he has come to report to the lord with Liangte."

"The son of Shixie?"

Hearing this, Liu Qi was obviously stunned.

Then he was amazed and said:

"What does Shixie mean by this, if I remember correctly, now except for a Cangwu County in Jiaozhou, the rest of the counties are in his hands, and now he is escorting Sun Quan's envoy here?

Uh, no, Sun Quan wants to ally with Shixie? ”

The surprise came too suddenly, and Liu Qi was a little speechless.

Zhuge Liang replied solemnly:

"What the lord said is right, it is Sun Quan who sent an envoy to join forces with Jiaozhou to fight against the lord. But Shi Xie knows the general trend of the world, and uniting with Sun Quan is tantamount to asking for his own death.

It is to order his son to send the messenger to meet the lord. ”

Although now Jingzhou's primary target is Jiangdong.

But it won't be long before Jiaozhou is in the south of Jingzhou, and Liu Qi can't ignore this territory.

Who would have thought that he hadn't made any arrangements yet, just because Sun Quan sent an envoy to form an alliance, but let Shi Xie take the initiative to vote.

Of course, Liu Qi also understands.

Shixie this

The move is not completely attached to oneself.

But it's only a matter of time.

In Liu Qi's memory, this Shixie is indeed a very knowledgeable person.

Sun Quan was chosen in the Sun-Liu dispute.

Later, Sun Quan appointed Bu Qi as the assassin of Jiaozhou, and Shi Xie also showed great cooperation, transferring all local powers and powers, without any intention of resistance, and it was also a good ending.

As soon as the thought turned, Liu Qi did not directly agree.

He opened his mouth and said:

"This matter is indeed a surprise for Jingzhou, but now that the army is still conquering Jiangdong, it is better to call Shiyuan, and I will discuss it later."

Zhuge Liang understood Liu Qi's thoughts, and immediately said yes.

Soon Pang Tong also arrived at Gongzi's Mansion.

After clarifying the matter, Pang Tong immediately smiled and said:

"Now that the Jingzhou army is approaching Wu County, and the capture of Jiangdong is only in ten days, Jiaozhou Shixie is also taking the initiative to take refuge, and the time for the lord to unify the south is not far away, isn't it gratifying?"

Took Jiangdong and Jiaozhou.

There is only one Yizhou left in the south.

Relatively.

Because Liu Zhang is the main player in Yizhou, almost no one takes him seriously, like fish on the board.

Liu Qi smiled and said:

"How should we arrange the current situation?"

Zhuge Liang replied loudly:

"The lord doesn't have to worry too much, Shi Xie chose to serve the lord, just because of the previous battle with Cao Cao, and now the crusade against Jiangdong, Jingzhou's prestige has been raised in the world.

Since Shi Xie is interested, the lord only needs to show a benevolent heart. can make him still in charge of the land of Jiaozhou, and at the same time order Cangwu to guard Wu Ju too much, so that they cannot attack each other.

If he knows the sincerity of the lord, he will naturally feel at ease, and after Jiangdong is stable, the lord can start to rectify Jiaozhou. ”

Liu Qi suddenly seemed to have too many concerns.

Now the forces of Jingzhou, although they cannot fight Cao Cao head-on, are not to be underestimated.

After all, the princes of the world, who can go head-to-head with Cao Cao now?

Pang Tong next to him also said:

"Kong Ming is right, as long as the lord stabilizes Shixie, he can win the hearts of the state's people, which is reasonable."

After talking so much, Liu Qi got up and nodded:

"What the two military advisors said is extremely true, then bring in the Shixie envoy, you can't neglect the distinguished guests."

A moment later.

Shihui came to the prince's mansion.

At this moment, the Shihui was a little apprehensive.

Because he doesn't know much about Liu Qi, he only knows that this Jingzhou assassin seems to be a hidden person.

Before it came to prominence, the world said that it was among the women, and it was the generation of guinea dogs.

But with the battle of Jingbei.

The situation is completely different.

Although there is no direct evidence of how much role Liu Qi played, no one dares to ignore him anymore.

in the living room.

Shihui finally saw Liu Qi.

Today's Liu Qi is tall and not thin, how can he be half obsessed with women, tired and weak?

Rumors are not to be believed.

Shi Hui immediately saluted:

"Jiaozhou Shihui, meet the envoy."
