Chapter 69: Jiangxia Taishou
Let Gongzi Liu Qi go to guard Jiangxia?!
The idea, I have to say, is a good one.
It's not that Liu Biao recognizes Liu Qi's ability.
Liu Biao is a person, it is really not accurate to see people, Jingzhou is under his rule, the waste of talent is quite serious, but it does not mean that Liu Biao is not sure of his son.
Knowing the son is better than the father.
Liu Qi is a person with low eyes, and he is always very conceited, and he is not a good successor.
Liu Biao's preference for Liu Cong is really not because of Cai's, but because Liu Cong has indeed been smart since he was a child, and Liu Qi has never been able to compare with him in this regard.
But Liu Qi is Liu Biao's eldest son after all, his identity is doomed, he goes to guard Jiangxia, nominally, he can make the Jingxiang family obey the command.
As for Liu Qi's ability, this is not a problem.
As long as Liu Qi is assigned a few capable officials, as long as Liu Qi himself does not blindly command, manages a county, and is a mascot, Liu Qi can still do it.
Of course, doing so is also in the interests of the major families in Jingxiang, and it is easier for the Huang family to accept.
Huang Zu is a person, Liu Biao must be won.
Although it is not necessary to take Huang Zu's life, after taking Huang Zu, how to give an explanation to the Huang family in Jingzhou is also a science.
If Liu Qi is allowed to serve as Jiangxia's Taishou, and then let the Huang family send someone as the chief secretary of the county to assist Liu Qi in governing Jiangxia, he Liu Biao can not only control Jiangxia's rights, but also satisfy the Jingzhou Huang family, and can also prevent the Cai Kuai family from reaching into Jiangxia.
Kill three birds with one stone.
Another one, Liu Biao is also old, he knows that his body, it is estimated that he will not be able to carry it for a few years.
Then after a hundred years, Liu Biao should also consider the issue of heirs.
If according to the rules of this era, Liu Biao should choose Liu Qi as his heir.
It's not a question of whether the son-in-law is or not, the key is that Liu Qi is an adult.
If Liu Biao starts from this time and lets Liu Qi get in touch with Jingzhou affairs and cultivate his prestige little by little, then after a few years, Liu Qi can slowly take over, and Liu Biao can also retire with peace of mind, which is the safest way to take over.
On the contrary, if Liu Cong is established, Liu Biao will have to continue to work hard for seven or eight years, and when Liu Cong grows up, Liu Biao himself doesn't know if he can live for another seven or eight years, and in these seven or eight years, will there be any changes.
If it is in a normal generation, Liu Biao chooses Liu Qi to succeed him, which is a safe choice without a problem at all.
But now is a troubled time, Liu Biao not only has to think about the future, but also the present.
The place of Xiangyang was originally the basic plate of the Cai family and the Kuai family, and he needed to rely on the support of the Cai Kuai family to implement the decree, why did Liu Qi think that he could control this place.
Rely on Liu Bei?!
This idiot thinks Liu Bei is really a kind uncle?!
The most important thing is that Liu Qi has a low level of mastery, and he has never had a good relationship with the family, especially the relationship with the Cai family and the Kuai family, which is basically no different from turning his face.
Of course, if Liu Qi is smarter and draws the Huang family and the Pang family together to fight against the Cai family and the Kuai family, this is not impossible, but this stupid son actually looks like a clean and high-minded person, and he doesn't have a good relationship with the family at all, so that the Huang family and the Pang family are not optimistic about him, why will he sit firmly in the position of the lord of Jingzhou in the future? !
On the contrary, if it is to establish Liu Cong, relying on the protection of the Cai family, coupled with his own careful cultivation, he will slowly establish his prestige in the future, even if he has a case, Liu Cong will be escorted by Cai Kuo's two families, and it will not be difficult to learn to control Jingzhou like this.
Therefore, now Liu Biao's heart is still more inclined to cultivate Liu Cong.
Although Liu Biao knew that his body was dying, but if he lived for another four or five years, Liu Biao felt that it should not be a problem, and if he was lucky, it was not impossible to live until Liu Cong officially became an adult.
It's just that if the cultivation of Liu Cong is established, then what should Liu Qi do. It's always my own son.
Now Liu Bei's suggestion has made Liu Biao see a new path.
Let Liu Qi succeed him in his position, it will harm him, but if Liu Qi is allowed to serve as a county guard, he will stay away from Xiangyang, a place of right and wrong, and will not be able to get the position of the lord of Jingzhou, not only can he reassure the Cai family and the Kuai family, but also let his son have a way out in the future.
A county is too guarded, coupled with his own grace and Liu Bei's care, even if he is a hundred years in the future, Liu Qi can barely be a rich man.
The only thing that worries Liu Biao is that this suggestion was made by Liu Bei.
Liu Bei is a hero in the world, although Liu Biao cooperates with Liu Bei and is still called a brother on the surface, he has never relaxed his vigilance against Liu Bei.
Liu Biao was very worried, would this be Liu Bei's bad idea to use his son to make a fuss.
But for a while, Liu Biao couldn't think of what Liu Bei's purpose was, and although Liu Biao was wary of Liu Bei, he recognized Liu Bei's character, and felt that even if there was a problem, at least Liu Bei would not harm Liu Qi, but on the contrary, he would help Liu Qi work hard to secure the position of Jiangxia Taishou.
Since this is the case, there is no need to worry too much Although Liu Qi is a little stupid, he will not know which of the "father" or the "uncle" is closer and better to him.
Now that he has made a decision, Liu Biao knows what to do next.
First of all, it was a secret order to Cai Mao, asking him to lead the Jingzhou army to prepare for battle, as long as Huang Zu made a move north, he would immediately send troops to take it, don't hesitate, he will finish it afterwards.
Then, Liu Biao secretly ordered Su Fei to pay attention to Huang Zu's every move, and spread rumors among Huang Zu's army as much as possible, saying that Liu Biao would not punish Huang Zu and let Huang Zu relax his vigilance.
Then, Liu Biao personally visited Huang Chengyan of the Huang family in Xiangyang, and talked with Huang Chengyan for more than an hour, and then left satisfied.
In the end, Liu Biao issued a new personnel appointment to Huang Zu in Xiangyang City.
On the grounds that Huang Zu had made a meritorious contribution to repelling Jiangdong, Huang Zu was transferred to Jingzhou Sima, and immediately handed over Jiangxia Taishou Dayin to Xiangyang to take office.
One hand rises and falls, and the thief slips away.
Huang Zu was not an idiot, as soon as he heard the news, he immediately became furious, and then began to reorganize the army, urgently contacting Zhang Liao in the north on the one hand, and preparing for war with the Jingzhou army on the other.
However, this battle did not start.
On the one hand, the Jingzhou army had already prepared, and as soon as he saw Huang Zu's whole army, Cai Mao urgently ordered the Jingzhou army staying in Hanshui to go ashore from Jingling, coerce Xinshi, and prepare to cut off Huang Zu's road to the north.
On the other hand, Huang Zu's army rectification order was questioned and opposed by Su Fei and other generals, and even his son Huang Jie also opposed his army rectification order.
There is no other reason, the new Jiangxia Taishou is Liu Qi, but the new Jiangxia master is Huang Ji.
Huang Chengyan had already had private contact with Huang Biao, and told him that this time the matter was very troublesome, and Liu Biao insisted on severely punishing Huang Zu, but it did not mean that the Huang family in Jingzhou gave up Huang Grandpa You see, doesn't this give you a position in Jiangxia's main book.
Yes, nominally Jiangxia Taishou is Liu Qi, but a son-in-law, what can he do, in the final analysis, this Jiangxia, it is still our Huang family who has the final say, and you Huang Jia has the final say.
Finally, and most importantly, Huang Chengyan and Huang Zhu promised that as long as Huang Zu retired, then the Huang family in Jingzhou would guarantee that Huang Zu could live for a long time.
One has no worries about his life, and the other can keep his rights, why do you have to fight with the people of the Jingzhou Army?!
Huang Zhu's naivety made Huang Zu angry half to death, and he was also disappointed that the successor he had cultivated for twenty years was such a stupid and sweet thing.
What else can I do, what else can I do?!
At this time, where could Huang Zu not understand that he had been sold by the Huang family in Jingzhou.
There is pressure from Jingzhou Liu Biao externally, the internal military is not aligned, and he was abandoned by the Jingzhou Huang family, there is no backup at all, and his son is even more outrageous, the whole stupid Bai Tian, what else can I do if the successor votes for him? !
If you insist on going your own way, I'm afraid that I won't be able to get out of Jiangxia City, and I will be stabbed in the back, cut off my head and ask Liu Biao for credit.
Huang Zu could only write a letter to Huang Chengyan, asking him to help him take good care of Huang Jie for the sake of being a member of the Huang family, and never cut off his Huang Zu's incense.
After receiving Huang Chengyan's handwritten reply promise, Huang Zu bound himself and went to Xiangyang City to plead guilty.
Of course, Liu Biao really wants to see his sworn enemies who have been fighting openly and secretly for so many years make a fool of themselves, but the rules of this year, everyone is bound by themselves, Liu Biao must be a person to leave a line, personally untie Huang Zu's shackles on the spot, and then invite Huang Zu to take a seat, worship as the Jingzhou Mu Sima, and offer to the officials who do not give their posts.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Biao's eldest son, Liu Qi, under such circumstances, took over as Jiangxia Taishou.
accompanied Liu Qi to take office, and there was also a team of guards sent by Liu Biao.
It's just that the chief guard of this guard is no longer the one appointed by Liu Biao, Liu Qi has newly appointed a chief guard, who is skilled in bows and horses, and has a good command of troops.
This person is a native of Runan, surnamed Chen, and his name is uncle.
