The eldest son, Liu Qi, visited Zhuge Liang several times and asked for advice on how to get out and avoid trouble. Zhuge Liang is a family affair of the son, and Liang is an outsider, it is difficult to say, and the love of the son's flesh and blood is separated.

Liu Qi couldn't, so he had to arrange it according to the method taught by Liu Bei. Send someone to Fancheng again and invite Zhuge Liang to come to the banquet.

Zhuge Liang had the heart to shirk it, and he didn't want Liu Bei to accept it directly.

After the messenger left. Zhuge Liang said: "Why did the lord let Liang go to the banquet. Liu Qi asked him for advice on family affairs several times, but Liang shirked everything, so as not to mishandle it and affect the lord's father-in-law. Today's feast is probably not a good feast. ”

Liu Bei said: "Sir, so although it is reasonable. But I look at the son Liu Qi as benevolent, and I guess Mr. Invite just admires Mr. Knowledge, and has no treacherous heart. Mr. Rest assured that he should go. ”

Zhuge Liang couldn't, so he had to pack up and go. Liu Qi welcomed Zhuge Liang into the mansion for a banquet, and the wine was half-drunk, Liu Qi asked for advice here, but Zhuge Liang still shirked the preface. Liu Qi didn't ask.

Shaoqing, Liu Qi said: "Mr. is rare to come, why don't you go upstairs with me for a banquet and enjoy the scenery." ”

Zhuge Liang smiled: "It's okay here, you don't have to go upstairs." ”

Liu Qi said: "Mr. doesn't know, upstairs is where I store books, and there are ancient books inside, so please take a look." ”

Zhuge Liang said in his heart: "It seems that today's events cannot be prevaricated. Okay, let me see how Liu Qi prepares? He got up and said, "Since that's the case, then Liang will go upstairs with his son." ”

Liu Qi got up and said, "Sir, please." ”

Zhuge Liang bowed his hand slightly, climbed the ladder, and came to the second floor, only to see that although the second floor was decorated, it was very simple and couldn't help but say: "Childe, where are the ancient books?" ”

Liu Qi cried and said: "Mr. help, Qi has no choice, I have repeatedly bothered Mr., I hope Mr. will be considerate and show me the way!" ”

Zhuge Liang didn't allow it, so he wanted to go downstairs, only to see that the ladder had been taken away. Liu Qi said: "Mr. didn't plan because he was afraid that there would be ears next door, and now he can't reach the sky or the ground. ”

Zhuge Liang couldn't help but think: "I underestimated Liu Qi, he actually came up with such a plan. No, if Liu Qi really had such a decisive mind, he would never fall into such a passive realm. It seems that someone is pointing. Well, I think of my father-in-law! Anyway, it is difficult for the lord's character to take the initiative to send troops to take Jingzhou, and he needs to be justified to be able to occupy Jingzhou, Liu Qi is the eldest son of Liu Biao, and his name is justified. If I let him lead troops to Jiangxia and bring in reinforcements, Xiangyang will change, and Jiangxia and Fancheng can just flank Xiangyang. Then he said: "Son's loyal person, why is it so difficult and bright." ”

Liu Qi said: "How dare Qi embarrass Mr., just ask Mr. to show him a clear way." ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Well, since that's the case." Why doesn't Childe follow the example of Heavy Ears and be at ease? Now Jiangxia County has no owner, and the son can ask to be stationed in Jiangxia. In this way, disasters can be avoided, and there is also military power to rely on, so you can be safe. ”

Liu Qi was overjoyed and thanked. Call someone to bring the ladder back and send Zhuge Liang down.

Zhuge Liang returned to Fancheng and informed Liu Bei, Liu Bei was overjoyed and said, "Mr. Clever Strategy." ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Don't dare, it's just that Liu Qi is not like a person who can come up with such a wonderful plan." ”

Liu Bei smiled embarrassedly: "Sir, you should only do good deeds." ”

Zhuge Liang flipped over the fan and said: "It's okay, it's just the lord, Liu Qi doesn't like Cai Mao and his party, if we show that we are too close to him, we will invite trouble." ”

Liu Bei sighed: "I also know, but Liu Qi is the eldest son of Liu Biao after all, so he can't be a wall-by-side." ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Liu Qi left Xiangyang this time, and Liu Jingsheng has been sick repeatedly, which is similar to when Yuan Shao died of illness, in such a situation, he will only bring disaster upon himself." The lord should prepare in advance. ”

Liu Bei said: "I have trained soldiers and horses, repaired armor and weapons, and strengthened the city defense. The second brother also practiced sailing for a while. ”

Zhuge Liang said: "The northern spies should send more to inquire about the news. ”

Liu Bei said: "I have already sent three times as many spies. Rest assured! ”

Zhuge Liang said: "That's fine. ”

After Liu Qi got Zhuge Liang's guidance, he saw the opportunity to meet Liu Biao.

Liu Qi met Liu Biao and asked Anbi, Liu Qi said, "Is your father better?" ”

Liu Biao said: "I have occasionally contracted a minor illness, and my health has been poor in the past few years, so I don't have to worry." ”

Liu Qi said: "I hope my father takes care of his health, the child is not filial and fails to share his father's worries, so his father is sick." The son is willing to go to Jiangxia to defend Jiangdong, defend Xiangyang, and share his father's worries. ”

Liu Biao was shocked and said: "The child's filial piety is commendable, but Jiangxia is close to Jiangdong, it is very dangerous, Huang Zu has been stationed for decades, and he has been killed, so my son still don't go." ”

Liu Qi said: "It is precisely because Jiangxia does not follow the rules that Xiangyang is uneasy, and the child wants to go." The children went here to facilitate Jiangxia to pacify the people, restore farming, strengthen the city, and train the soldiers. As long as it is strictly guarded, there is no gap in the amount of Jiangdong. ”

Liu Biao said happily when he heard this: "My son has grown up. Well, since you're so determined, go for it. ”

Liu Qi was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, father." ”

Liu Biao was afraid that Liu Qi would have few soldiers, so he allocated 5,000 soldiers and horses, led Jiangxia Taishou, and restrained Wenpin, Su Fei, Gan Ning and others to defend Jiangdong.

Cai Mao saw that Liu Qi took the initiative to leave, and he couldn't ask for it, although he was distressed to take away 5,000 soldiers and horses, but as long as he was not in Xiangyang, Liu Biao couldn't ask for it in front of him.

After Liu Qi left, Cai Mao came to meet Liu Biao, Cai Mao saw that Liu Biao was in good spirits, and Liu Biao praised Liu Qi as soon as he saw Cai Mao: "Qi'er is really benevolent and filial, and even gave up Xiangyang to be comfortable and stationed in the Jiangxia frontier to share my worries." ”

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional Cai Mao was shocked when she heard this: "Liu Qi actually aroused the heart of Liu Biao's beloved son, no, Liu Qi must not be allowed to threaten Liu Cong's status." ”

Just as he was thinking about it, Liu Biao said again: "What did De Jue come from?" ”

Cai Mao hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Lord, I want to discuss with the lord, since Liu Gongzi has gone to Jiangxia in person, why not call Wen Ping back, Jiangdong was repelled this time, will he come again for a while and a half." At present, Cao Cao's desire to go south is flourishing, and he still transfers Wen Ping back to prepare to resist Cao Cao first. ”

Liu Biao pondered for a moment when he heard this: "It's okay, let Wen Ping hand over the soldiers and horses to Qi'er, and then return." ”

Cai Mao said distressedly: "Lord, Jiangxia doesn't need so many soldiers and horses!" ”

Liu Biao said angrily when he heard this: "What, how can Qi'er guard against the lack of soldiers?" ”

Cai Mao hurriedly said: "Lord, I don't mean anything else, Cao Cao is the threat right now." ”

Liu Biao said: "Needless to say, just come back by Wen Ping." ”

Cai Mao promised to withdraw, and said depressedly in his heart: "The soldiers and horses taken away by Wen Ping and Liu Qi add up to more than 10,000. plus Su Fei, Gan Ning's soldiers and horses, 20,000 smaller. No, Gan Ning is a capable person, I can't leave him with Liu Qi and let Wen Ping bring him back, so Liu Qi has no soldiers and no generals, and he is also blind. ”

At that moment, he sent his cronies to Jiangxia to deliver a letter.
