In the silence, he saw Guan Yu hugging his fists and said: "The minister does not have the merit of size, and he does not dare to occupy this high position, for fear of disappointing His Majesty's high expectations, please choose another virtuous." ”

The envoy's face was immediately displeased, and he said in a deep voice: "Guan Yu, do you dare to resist and disobey the order?" ”

Guan Yu's expression was indifferent: "The minister can't take the order!" ”

"Guan Yunchang, you are so bold!" The envoy was furious and said: "Resisting the decree is a crime of deceiving the king, and you dare to kill the head and destroy the clan, you dare to ......."

"Shut up!" Liu Qi got up suddenly, pointed at the messenger and shouted: "Dog slave, everyone in the world knows that Cao thief is power-grabbing, oppressing the Son of Heaven, and presummoning people, you still dare to bark here, get out!" ”

The messenger was instructed by Cao Cao, thinking that there was a guard of honor to suppress everyone, but he didn't expect that it was Liu Qi who made the first move, and hurriedly put away the holy decree and left in embarrassment.

Guan Yu and the others were also shocked, although what Liu Qi said was the truth, but reprimanding the angel in person, wasn't he scolding the Son of Heaven?

Liu Qi doesn't care about this, sometimes he has to break free from the constraints of these feudal systems and be willful and free like Cao Cao in order to get mixed in this troubled world.

In the era of war and chaos, only those who support the bold, starve the cowardly, and break the rules can stand out.

After driving away the envoy, Liu Qi hugged his fists to everyone and said: "The Son of Heaven has been in trouble, and he has been oppressed by traitors to this point, fortunately Yun Chang has seen through it, the road of King Qin has a long way to go, and we still need to work hard." ”

Guan Yu hugged his fists and said: "Although Guan is not talented, he can distinguish between loyalty and treachery, good and evil, and since he has his brother's last life, he should do his best, Cao Cao's plan to divide the world, how can he move a certain heart?" If you don't get rid of the traitor, you won't give up. ”

Zhang Fei also hugged his fists and said: "I am the same!" ”

Seeing that everyone gave salutes, Liu Qi felt a lot more at ease, as long as everyone is of the same mind, time will eliminate all barriers.

Xu Shu said: "If Cao Cao's plan fails, he will definitely order Cao Ren to send troops to exert pressure, and then he will have to work hard for the generals to fight." ”

Guan Yu hugged his fists and said: "Guan is willing to be the forerunner!" ”

Zhang Fei said loudly: "Cao thief sent troops, I will kill him without leaving a piece of armor." ”

Liu Qi couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that this holy decree had aroused Guan Zhang's ambition, this was really a blessing in disguise.

stepped forward and grabbed the thick arms of the two, and said: "Uncle Wubi, although it is like a firefly compared to Haoyue, but the spark of the stars can set the prairie on fire, and I am willing to advance and retreat with you in the future, share hardships and hardships, and overcome great causes." ”

"Obey the general's orders!"

All the people saluted together, and at this time they were united in hatred of the enemy, and the distance between them was much closer.

As Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also joined the training, the atmosphere in the camp gradually became warmer, and the sergeants also got rid of the depression of Liu Bei's death, and their morale was high.

Liu Qi and Xu Shu discussed: "Cao Ren has deployed all the soldiers and horses in Fancheng, there are 30,000, and they need to be broken. ”

Xu Shu said with a smile: "Don't worry, general, Guan Zhang, Zilong and others are all enemies, there is no general under Cao Ren, 30,000 soldiers are not enough to worry about, if Cao Ren is in person, I will take Fancheng!" ”

Liu Qi nodded and said: "It is not difficult to break the enemy, I not only want to take Fancheng this time, but also want to take back Wancheng and collect the land of Nanyang, what do the military advisors think?" ”

Xu Shu didn't expect Liu Qi to have such a big appetite, but he was taken aback, and replied after a moment of silence: "Xinye only has 8,000 men and horses, which is not enough to collect the land of Nanyang, and it is necessary to transfer troops from Xiangyang, but this move will definitely lead Cao Cao to attack in a big way, and I am afraid that it will shake the foundation of Jingzhou." ”

Liu Qi sighed lightly and said with a wry smile: "I have been leading Jingzhou for more than half a month, and I have been on the list to recruit talents, but no one has taken the initiative to vote so far." I know that I am too cowardly because of my previous illness, and I am not a clear master. As the so-called good birds choose trees to perch on, the world thinks that our generation is rotten wood, how can they come to vote? ”

Xu Shu hurriedly said: "The general doesn't have to be arrogant, this time against Cao Ren, he will definitely be a blockbuster." ”

Liu Qi smiled: "That's exactly what I mean!" Once this battle starts, it must become famous in a fight, so that the world knows that I Liu Qi, and I also have the power to support the Han family, so that we can gather talents and participate in the great cause. ”

Xu Shu deeply thinks that with Liu Qi's current reputation, it is indeed not enough to recruit talents.

He also knew that Zhuge Liang was ploughing the mountains and forests, in fact, he was waiting for the Ming Lord, and now that Liu Bei was dead, he could only ask Liu Qi to prove himself before he could ask him to come out of the mountain.

After the agreement, Liu Qi sent Liu Pan to deliver a letter, allocating 30,000 elite soldiers to Wen Ping, ready to cross the river and go north at any time, which was also the main reason why he left Wen Ping in Xiangyang.

Before leaving, Liu Qi decided to do a big deal!

The pattern and talents of the Three Kingdoms are about to be finalized, and if they don't make a big splash, who wants to follow you?

Secretly dispatched troops, and sure enough, a few days later, he reported that Cao Ren sent 5,000 men and horses to take Xinye, and the pioneers were Lu Xiang and Lu Kuang.

Guan Yu first asked for an order: "A certain person regards Er Lu as a mustard ear, and is willing to break Cao Bing." ”

Zhang Fei, Wei Yan and others were not far behind, some of them wanted to kill the enemy to vent their anger, and some of them were eager to perform meritorious service and were eager to fight.

Liu Qi said: "Don't be impatient, this time you have to capture the enemy, Jingzhou's troops are limited, and it is the best policy to capture more enemy troops for our use." ”

Xu Shu said: "You can make Yun Chang and Yide lead troops to ambush on the left and right, Zilong leads the light cavalry around to cut off the enemy's approach, and the general personally goes out of the city to meet the enemy, which can be annihilated in one fell swoop." ”

Liu Qi acted according to the plan, and the three generals of Guan, Zhang and Zhao went out of the city first, and they did not move, just waiting for Cao's army to kill.

Half an hour later, the road to the west was dusty, and soon the flags were fluttering, and Cao's army rushed to the city, and a thousand cavalry arrived first.

Liu Qi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with a smile: "At present, there is the most shortage of cavalry in the army, and this thousand war horses must not be allowed to run away." ”

While speaking, a military general urged the horse to step forward and shouted: "Liu Qi, open the city and surrender quickly, you can avoid death, otherwise you will break through the city and kill you without leaving a piece of armor." ”

The coming general was Lu Xiang, seeing that Liu Qi was defending the city, he didn't dare to fight, and his expression was extremely arrogant.

Liu Qi beckoned Huang Zhong to send troops to meet the enemy, leaving Wei Yan and Xu Shu to watch the battle in the city.

The foot soldiers came out first to set up a formation, and the archers trained by Huang Zhong personally guarded the city gate, Liu Qi stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Nameless, dare to shout here?" ”

When Lu Xiang saw Liu Qi leaving the city, followed by a white-haired veteran, he became more and more proud, and looked up to the sky and laughed: "Liu Qi's sick man, he dares to resist and disobey the order, what is the use of leading this old man out of the city?" Quickly called Guan Yu to plead guilty. ”

Liu Qi smiled coldly and said to Huang Zhongyan: "Hansheng give him some color and see!" ”

Huang Zhong was most jealous of others saying that he was old, so he urged the horse to dance the knife and go straight to Lu Xiang.

Lu Xiang looked contemptuous, and he still raised his gun on the horse and laughed, but when Huang Zhong rushed closer, he stabbed him under the horse.

Huang Zhong arrived, and a brilliant sword light slashed through the air like a match.

"Hahaha...... Hiccup~"

Lu Xiang's laughter stopped abruptly, half of his body was slashed from his neck to his left shoulder, and blood sprayed out, dazzling.

"Big brother—" Lu Kuang's eyes widened and he hissed.

Cao Jun was in an uproar, and he couldn't imagine that Lu Xiang would block this veteran's knife, and he was shocked.

Knock Knock Knock –

At the same time, the drums on the head of the city were loud, Huang Zhong's army moved forward, and the ambush soldiers on the left and right of Guan Zhang also rushed out, and the sound of killing outside the city of Xinye shook the sky.
