Liu Qi solemnly asked Liu Bei to help him, he wanted to compete with his second brother Liu Cong for the position of heir, and the only one who could help him was Liu Bei.

The relationship between Liu Bei and the eldest prince Liu Qi was quite good before, and now, when the eldest prince Liu Qi asks for advice like this, it is impossible for Liu Bei to completely ignore it.

Liu Bei said to the eldest prince Liu Qi: "Son, you are now the same as me, the one who stays dies, and the one who leaves lives!" ”

"In this Xiangyang City, the power of the Cai family is really too great, and you just stay next to Brother Jingsheng all day long, and you don't do anything."

"In my opinion, you need to find an opportunity to ask Brother Jingsheng to send you out. Or lead a county, or lead a county, with a place that truly belongs to you, you can escape from the control of the head of the Cai family. ”

"In this way, not to mention being able to help Gongzi become the heir of Brother Jingsheng, at least, we are each other's horns, and it is no problem to protect ourselves."

"Childe, if you continue to stay in Xiangyang, the day when Brother Jingsheng returns to heaven will be the day when Childe returns to heaven!"

After hearing Liu Bei's words, Liu Qi broke out in a cold sweat.

Because, what Liu Bei said is too reasonable.

Liu Biao is alive and can still deter the Cai family, in case Liu Biao dies, I'm afraid that Cai Mao's old puppet and Mrs. Cai's vicious lady will be the first to kill.

After thinking about this, Liu Qi arched his hand towards Liu Bei and said, "Thank you uncle for reminding me, I will find a way to ask my father to transfer me out of Xiangyang in the near future." ”

"After I leave this cage, I will personally go to Xinye to visit my uncle."

Liu Bei nodded, and responded: "Childe escaped from this cage first, and then talk about it after escaping!" ”

Speaking on both sides, at the same time, there is also a meeting going on on the Jiangdong side.

The land of the six counties in Jiangdong is further south than Liu Biao's nine counties of Jingxiang.

Moreover, due to the terrain, if Sun Quan wanted to attack Xuchang, he had to borrow from Jingzhou.

Could Liu Biao let him borrow it?

Of course not!

The two of them have a feud and borrow money from Jiangdong, what if Sun Quan destroys him by the way?

Sun Quan naturally knew this, so he had no intention of attacking Xuchang.

What Sun Quan wants to fight is Su Ming's Jiangxia County.

Jiangdong is a place with the Yellow River, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Koto can be said to be a good place to use as a base camp.

However, Jiangdong also has a flaw, that is, it is not easy to send troops.

It's easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it's really difficult for others to hit you.

But, in the same way, it is extremely difficult for you to go further into the world.

Therefore, if the rulers of Jiangdong want to seize the world, they must have a springboard for advancing troops.

And there are only two places suitable for serving as a springboard for Koto.

One is Jingzhou and the other is Xuzhou.

Back then, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, used Xuzhou as a springboard.

Now, Xuzhou is in the hands of Cao Cao, and Xuzhou Taishou Zang Ba is in charge of guarding.

Attacking Xuzhou requires land warfare, which is not what Jiangdong is good at.

Therefore, like the overlord of Western Chu back then, with Xuzhou as a springboard, Jiangdong can't do it now.

It is not possible to use Xuzhou as a springboard, then, for Jiangdong, there is only one way, and that is to use Jingzhou as a springboard.

Jiangxia.

That's right, Sun Quan wanted to take advantage of Cao Cao's war with the grassland aliens in Liucheng to take the opportunity to attack Jiangxia.

He is now fighting Jiangxia, and Cao Cao has no power to rush to Jiangxia's aid.

As long as Jiangxia can be defeated, after Jiangdong occupies Jiangxia, it will be able to further plot the entire Jingzhou.

Of course, the most important reason why Sun Quan wanted to attack Jiangxia was that Jiangxia was now Su Ming's territory.

Sun Quan and Su Ming have an undying hatred, Su Ming doesn't want to kill Sun Quan all the time, and Sun Quan also doesn't want to kill Su Ming all the time.

Sun Quan thought to himself, I will seize Jiangxia sooner or later, and let you Su Ming become a lost dog.

Sun Quan summoned the military generals under his command, wanting to take this opportunity to discuss all matters related to the capture of Jiangxia.

On the battlefield, it is divided into three factions.

A faction of young generals led by Ling Tong, Zhou Tai and others, these young generals were hinted at by Sun Quan in advance, and they strongly recommended attacking Jiangxia.

The other faction is led by veterans such as Huang Gai and Zu Mao, and they do not recommend sending troops at this time.

It is worth mentioning that Zhang Zhao, Sun Quan's most trusted advisor, did not agree with Sun Quan's opinion this time.

Zhang Zhao believed that at this time, troops could not be sent against Jiangxia.

Zhang Zhao's idea is also very simple, although Jiangxia is actually Su Ming's territory, but Su Ming is also Cao Cao's person.

moved Jiangxia, undoubtedly to provoke Cao Cao.

Now Cao Cao's power is too great, and he has occupied half of the world.

In Zhang Zhao's opinion, although the three tribes of the grassland are menacing, they can't let Cao Cao hurt his muscles and bones.

Once they make a move against Jiangxia at this time, even if they take Jiangxia, then, once Cao Cao solves the three tribes of the grassland, he will inevitably turn back and retaliate against them.

If Cao Cao wanted to send troops to attack their Jiangdong, Liu Biao would definitely be the first to respond, and by that time, Jiangdong would be in danger.

In Zhang Zhao's opinion, their Jiangdong position is excellent, as long as they stick to it and develop their own power.

Then, even if Cao Cao can really unify the world, they will be the last to be destroyed.

Now, it is just waiting for the situation in the world to change, if the princes of the world besiege Cao Cao, they will stand up and pick up a bargain.

All in all, they Jiangdong must not be the first to stand up and provoke Cao Mengde.

As for the third faction?

The third faction was Zhou Yu, the governor of Jiangdong, after Zhou Yu learned that Sun Quan wanted to attack Jiangxia, he directly led his troops to leave Wu County under the pretext of conquering Shanyue.

Zhou Yu's meaning is also obvious, he does not express his position on this matter, and similarly, he will not lead troops to conquer Su Ming's territory.

Sun Quan can fight if he wants to, but Zhou Yu will not lead his brothers to kill each other.

Wu County, Wuhou Mansion.

Backyard.

In the backyard of Wuhou Mansion, all the family members of the old Sun family lived.

As Sun Ce's widow, Da Qiao naturally lives here.

Da Qiao was doing the embroidery work when he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps outside.

Big Qiao looked at it, and it was her sister Xiao Qiao who came to find her.

"Sister!"

"Have you heard, Sun Zhongmou is going to attack Jiangxia!" Little Joe whispered.

A few days ago, Zhou Yu suddenly hurried to lead his troops to conquer Shanyue.

Husband and wife, Zhou Yu's abnormal situation, Xiao Qiao naturally saw it.

Xiao Qiao asked Zhou Yu a few times, and then, Zhou Yu didn't tell her, just asked her not to ask more.

After Zhou Yu left, Xiao Qiao's heart muttered.

So, she asked someone to inquire.

Don't say it, this news really let Xiao Qiao find out.

After Xiao Qiao heard the news, he came to tell his sister Da Qiao as soon as possible.
