Since Zhang Liao was unwilling to surrender at the moment, Liu Qi did not force it, and there were some things that could not be forced.

Zhang Liao can also be regarded as a famous general during the Three Kingdoms period. His loyalty to Cao Cao was expected, but it was Yu Ban's surrender to Guan Yu that most people did not expect.

You must know that Yu Ban is Cao Cao's most trusted general, and he is also the head of the good generals. From the time Cao Cao first started, he followed Cao Cao to fight in the south and the north, and established a lot of achievements.

is such an existence, but after the defeat, he chose to surrender Guan Yu, which simply subverted the world's cognition.

At this moment, Liu Qi asked Zhang Liao to be detained.

Even if Zhang Liao is unwilling to surrender now, it will be sooner or later. When Liu Qi solves Cao Cao, is he still afraid that Zhang Liao will not surrender, it is naturally impossible.

Although Zhang Liao was loyal to Cao Cao, he was also a sane man who knew what choice to make.

Liu Qi looked at Zhuge Liang and said seriously:

"Strategist, now that the three southern states have been won, the next burden is on you, it's really hard for you."

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang was a little speechless.

What could he say?

This shows Liu Qi's trust in him, but it is indeed not so easy for him to manage affairs, big and small.

However, as a smart person, Zhuge Liang certainly won't bow down to everything. He only needs to arrange things properly and promote talents to assist, and the problem is much simpler.

At the same time, Liu Qi said thoughtfully:

"Strategist, now there is Jiaozhou in the south, I don't know if you have any suggestions, you might as well come and listen to it."

Zhuge Liang really thought about this matter.

After Liu Qi took Yizhou, it was impossible to let Jiaozhou become independent, even if Shixie had a positive attitude and constantly showed favor to Liu Qi, but some things were not so simple.

As long as Jiaozhou is not in Liu Qi's hands, it is impossible for him to rest assured.

But.

didn't wait for Zhuge Liang to speak, and suddenly someone outside reported:

"Enlighten the envoy, Jiaozhi Taishou Shixie asks to see."

Hearing this, Liu Qi looked at Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Qi, and the two looked at each other with extremely strange expressions.

They're discussing it!

Unexpectedly, the main owner came to the door directly.

Zhuge Liang reacted quickly, and at this time, Shi Xie took the initiative to come, it could not be for no reason.

It was Zhuge Liang who said with a smile:

"My lord, it seems that the problem of Jiaozhou is going to be solved."

Liu Qi nodded, he also felt the same, Shi Xie is indeed very discerning. Historically, in the face of the powerful Sun Quan, he showed great cooperation and asked him to send someone to take over Jiaozhou.

This process did not take any twists and turns.

It also enabled Shi Xie to die a good death.

In this troubled era of the Three Kingdoms, it is not so simple to have a good end, and a certain level is still required.

Otherwise, they will die a terrible death.

Thinking of this, Liu Qi stood up and said:

"Okay, let's go check it out!"

Come to the living room.

An old man with a gentle smile and a humble attitude is here, he is Jiaozhi Taishou, and he is also Shi Xie, the actual controller of Jiaozhou.

"I have heard the name of Shi Taishou for a long time, and I only saw it today."

Liu Qi said very politely, as the so-called reaching out does not hit smiling people, and Shixie is such an existence.

When he heard the voice, Shi Xie immediately looked at it, and he quickly realized the identity of the person who came, he saw Liu Qi for the first time, but he directly judged the identity.

It's just that Shi Xie was a little surprised, Liu Qi is indeed very young, and he is a little too young.

When Liu Qi fought in Jiangdong, Shixie made a choice and sent his son to Xiangyang.

Unexpectedly, in just half a year, Liu Qi had already taken Yizhou, and even had a tough fight with Cao Cao in Hanzhong. This kind of strength is really shocking.

Anyway, Shixie is very self-aware.

His means cannot be Liu Qi's opponent at all.

So if you want to live, you must make a choice as soon as possible, and it is because he came to Xiangyang, this is his attitude and choice.

"Xiaguan has seen Liu Yuanjun!"

Shixie did not dare to slack off, and was extremely humble.

Liu Qi was not a guest

Qi, he had already seen Shi Xie's thoughts, so he said in a calm tone:

"Taishou came from afar, I don't know what happened?"

Although Liu Qi asked very directly, Shixie was not unprepared, and he immediately replied:

"Don't hide it from the king, there is one thing for the lower officials to ask for in this trip, that is, in the land of Jiaozhou now, although the situation is quite stable, there is no history of assassination appointed by the imperial court.

Therefore, when Xia Guan came to Xiangyang, he asked the envoy to send an assassin to maintain the situation in Jiaozhou. ”

Shi Xie came all the way to Xiangyang, of course, because he knew that Liu Qi had returned.

If Liu Qi hadn't come back, the meaning of his search for Zhuge Liang would have been completely different. Even if Zhuge Liang is deeply trusted by Liu Qi, no matter what, Liu Qi is the lord of the southern states.

Hearing this, Liu Qi couldn't help but smile slightly.

This Shixie is indeed a smart man.

Shi Xie asked Liu Qi to send assassins, of course he didn't want to set it up, but wanted to transfer the power of Jiaozhou to Liu Qi in this way, I have to say, this is a smart way.

Liu Qi nodded and said:

"Shi Taishou is really a smart person, as long as you sincerely follow, I will naturally not care.

Now that Jiaozhou is stable, it is inseparable from the Shi Taishou family, which is also a contribution to my Han, and in the future, the Han will prosper again, and he will not treat you and other heroes. ”..

Liu Qi didn't say anything, everyone is so active, if they are still hiding, it really doesn't make sense.

Receiving Liu Qi's affirmative reply, Shi Xie's eyes lit up, and at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really a little worried, if Liu Qi was unwilling to show mercy to his subordinates and didn't give him this face, Shi Xie would not have any choice.

As long as Liu Qi sends troops and horses, how long can Jiaozhou last?

Shi Xie is very self-aware, and he has some ability in governing internal affairs. But training and fighting, that is not the same thing at all, how can it be the opponent of the powerful Jingzhou.

So Shi Xie bowed again and replied:

"Make the gentleman gracious, and the lower officials are toothless and unforgettable."

Liu Qi said calmly:

"Now Shi Taishou is not young, and he will come to Xiangyang to serve in a few years, I don't know what will happen to Shi Taishou?"

This is also a naked inquiry.

Shi Xie seemed very calm, anyway, he was ready to transfer power, and what was it to come to Xiangyang.

At that time, he will be under Liu Qi's command and Liu Qi's hero, and Liu Qi will not be able to kill him. If Liu Qi does this, he will be discredited by the people of the world, which will make people laugh.

Moreover, Shi Xie never offended Liu Qi.

"What the envoy said is that the lower official is indeed old, and there is no need for the envoy to arrange it at that time, and the lower official himself will ask to come to Xiangyang as an official, and now Xiangyang is prosperous.

Compared with the remote Jiaozhou, it is better than a star and a half. ”

Liu Qi smiled dumbly, talking to smart people is easy, and Liu Qi doesn't need to waste energy at all.

He said with satisfaction:

"Then these days, Shi Taishou will have a good time!"
