By the time everyone left the wedding feast, night had already fallen, and the sky was full of stars.

"Huo joins the army!"

The cold wind blew on his face, which made Huo Jun suddenly feel a lot of energy, and suddenly there was a shout from behind, so he looked back, but saw that it was Kuai Yue.

I saw Kuai Yue arching his hand towards Huo Jun, and said with a smile: "Huo joined the army, what you did today is really extraordinary!" ”

"It's all for Ming Gong!" Huo Jun replied with a smile.

"Wanghuo joins the army in Jiangxia!" Kuai Yue said.

"Thank you, Marquis of Kuai!"

The two greeted each other with smiles, and there was no sign that there was a serious contradiction. However, just as the two turned around and parted, Huo Jun boarded the carriage and drove into the distance.

Kuai Yue looked at the carriage and snorted lightly, but he was a little disapproving, and under the guidance of Cai's servants, he walked to another residence. I saw that Cai Mao had been waiting for a long time, and kept pacing there, looking very worried.

Seeing Kuai Yue, Cai Mao hurriedly greeted him and said: "Brother Yidu, Liu Jingzhou ordered Liu Qi to send troops to Jiangzuo, if he makes meritorious contributions in Jiangdong and establishes his fame, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Liu Cong to compete with him, and then what will we use as the capital to advance." ”

Kuai Yue did not answer Cai Mao's question, but sat down on the couch unhurriedly and poured a cup of tea for himself.

Seeing that Kuai Yue was so unhurried, Cai Mao was so anxious that he walked to the opposite side of Kuai Yue and pleaded: "Kuai Junhou~"

Kuai Yue took a sip of tea, and seeing Cai Mao so flustered, he paused the tea cup on the desk, and said unhappily: "De Jue, how can those who have achieved great things be easily angry, and how can they be so flustered." ”

Seeing Kuai Yue like this, Cai Mao also frowned and asked, "Since this is the case, Mao is willing to listen to Kuai Jun Hou's high arguments." ”

Kuai Yue calmed down and asked, "Why is De Jue worried?" However, for Liu Qi to lead the army to attack Jiangdong, he was afraid of making meritorious contributions and competing with Liu Cong for the position, which led to the destruction of our strategy. ”

"Exactly!" Cai Mao nodded in response.

Kuai Yue asked rhetorically: "Why is De Qi sure that Liu Qi can break Jiangdong, you must know that the elite of Jiangdong soldiers is especially better than my Jingzhou soldiers and horses." ”

"Liu Qi is assisted by Liu Bei and Huang Zu, and he has transferred a large army to the east, and it is difficult to say whether he will win or lose!" Cai Mao said worriedly.

Kuai Yue sneered and said, "In Yue's opinion, Liu Qibing's entry into Jiangdong is also a good thing for us. ”

"A good thing?"

"Yes!" Kuai Yue analyzed: "Now Liu Jingzhou is old, life and death are unpredictable, Liu Qiruo is far away in Eastern Xinjiang, although he has soldiers and horses, but there is no one in Xiangyang. Yu Ned's second sister slandered Liu Qi next to Liu Jingzhou's ear, and Yu Wai's Dejun and Zhang Yun uphold the military and government, and then the inside and outside will be controlled by you and others, so what's the worry? ”

"Deju, Hu Hai and Fusu can be a lesson from the past!"

In Kuai Yue's view, there are pros and cons to everything, since Huo Jun is agitating Liu Qidong to conquer Jiangdong, then he only needs to make a fuss about the disadvantages of Jiangdong.

As he said, Liu Biao is old and doesn't know when he will die, even if Liu Qi has made a name for himself outside, but under Liu Biao's sudden death, there are only a few people who can contact his life for the first time.

Looking at the thoughtful Cai Mao, Kuai Yue smiled and said: "As for the military, De Jue can use the name of guarding against Cao Cao to shorten his soldiers and horses, and send soldiers to live in Jiangbei. Let Liu Qi lead 6 or 7,000 people, and nearly 20,000 soldiers under Liu Bei and Huang Zu, and let them fight Jiangdong. ”

"Although Huang Zu hated Jiangdong, he took pity on the soldiers and horses of his headquarters, how could he fight to the death with Sun Quan. At that time, Liu Qi and Liu Bei will have no more than 10,000 soldiers available. Jiangdong soldiers and horses are as few as 30,000 or 40,000, and as many as 50,000 or 60,000, see how Liu Qi, Liu Bei and others can fight Jiangdong! ”

"Without military merits, how can Liu Qi become famous!"

After speaking, Kuai Yue picked up the teacup and drank it, their strength was stronger than Liu Qi and Liu Bei, and they could also profit from it through the transformation of fortune and misfortune. This is also the reason why he disapproves of Huo Jun, in his eyes, the current is the beginning of the dispute between the young and the old.

Hearing this, Cai Mao suddenly brightened, a smile appeared on her face, and she applauded and said, "Brother Xenodu is really high!" ”

With Xiangyang in their hands, they can manipulate the variables that Liu Qi and them will get aid, and if they manipulate the variables, they can control the progress of their war. controlled the progress of the war, and Liu Qi would not be able to build it at that time. It can't make a contribution, but it hurts Liu Qi's own reputation.

"De Jue can delay the time to send troops, and leave the letter with Cao Gong, and let him send troops to pretend to attack and disturb, so that Liu Jingzhou is frightened and does not dare to send a large army to fight." Kuai Yue laughed.

Cai Mao laughed a few times and said, "Delay the dispatch of troops, this matter is easy!" ”

"Good!"

……

When Kuai Yue and Cai Mao were talking in secret, Liu Qi, Liu Bei, and Huo Jun were also discussing their next actions.

In Liu Qi's attic, the three of them sat opposite each other and discussed things. Huo Jun looked at the ladder that had not been taken away and smiled. If he hadn't intervened, Zhuge Liang would have been pulled up by Liu Qi.

Liu Qi poured wine for the two of them, and said worriedly: "Zhong Miao is going to Jiangxia, and there is no Zhong Miao on Qi's side, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with!" ”

Huo Jun was in a very happy mood, and said with a smile: "Duke Ming has already made up his mind to send troops, so the eldest son doesn't have to worry, and he can listen to Liu Yuanjun's advice more about military strategy." There is only one thing that the eldest son needs to pay attention to. ”

"Please Zhong Miao!"

"The military and political affairs of Jingzhou are mostly controlled by Cai Mao and Kuai Liang, and now they are sending troops to Jiangdong, I am afraid that they will shirk their words, and the eldest son still needs to keep an eye on it and urge it from time to time." Huo Jun said.

"Okay, this matter is easy!" Liu Qi said confidently: "I don't know if Zhong Miao has other affairs to explain?" ”

Huo Jun pondered for a while and asked, "I don't know what the relationship between the eldest son and General Liu Bi in Changsha is?" ”

The Liu Bi general in Huo Jun's mouth is no one else, but Liu Biao's nephew Liu Pan. Liu Pan fought bravely, and he was Liu Biao's most valued disciple.

After Liu Biao pacified Zhang Xian's rebellion, he worshiped as a partial general, stationed in Changsha You County, unified Huang Zhong, and invaded Ai, Xi'an and other counties with Huang Zhong many times, and often fought with Jianchang Lieutenant Tai Shici.

Liu Qi put down the wine bottle in his hand and said with a smile: "I met Brother Pan when I was young, and we had a friendly relationship, and we often had contacts in the past, but we were stationed in Youxian County with his soldiers, and we rarely met, and occasionally met by letter. ”

Huo Jun bowed slightly, and said: "If this is the case, the eldest son can repair a book, and when the army advances, let General Liu Bi lead the army to see if he can help the eldest son." ”

Liu Qi laughed out loud and said, "If there is a brother Pan, it will be easy!" ”

As he spoke, Liu Qi looked at Liu Bei and asked, "Qi Wen has had a relationship with Tai Shi Ci, the captain of Jianchang, I don't know if the envoy can repair a letter to see if he can persuade Tai Shi Ci to return to my Jingzhou." ”

"No!" Liu Bei waved his hand and vetoed, and said: "The eldest son, Ziyi has a strong temperament, is faithful, has the style of the ancients, and is really a famous man in Qingzhou." Now that he has entered the Sun family, how can he easily return to obedience. This revision of the book is afraid that it will alarm Sun Quan, Tai Shici and others, and it will not be conducive to our march. ”

Tai Shi Ci's defeat was surrendered to Sun Ce, and he became a confidant with Sun Ce. However, his relationship with Sun is not that of an ordinary monarch and a minister, but a relationship that transcends the monarch and is under the partnership.

After serving Sun Ce, Tai Shici commanded 10,000 troops and governed six counties such as Haiyang and Jianchang, becoming subordinate to the Sun family and the role of a local small prince.

Of course, the role of Tai Shici was very common in the troubled times of the late Han Dynasty. For example, the relationship between Lu Bu and Zhang Liao, it seems that Zhang Liao is Lu Bu's subordinate, but in fact, Zhang Liao is an armed force independent of Lu Bu's subordinates, but he does things for Lu Bu. The same is true of the relationship between the Tibetan tyrant and Cao Cao, which is under Cao Cao's name, but it is an independent armed force.

And the status of these people is also high, and they often worship high-ranking officials. Zhang Liao was under the tent of Lu Bu, and at the age of 28, he was worshiped by Xiao Xiangguo, compared to the senior city officials of prefecture-level cities in later generations.

Cao Cao appointed Qing and Xu Prefectures to Zang Ba's jurisdiction, and sealed the Xuzhou Prefectures under Zang Ba and his subordinates.

"That's a pity!" Liu Qi said with a sigh.

The three of them chatted a little more, and Liu Bei and Huo Jun left.

After leaving the house, Liu Bei and Huo Jun sat in the same car.

After getting into the car, Liu Bei arched his hand towards Huo Jun and said, "Fortunately, thanks to Zhongmiao's plan, Bei was able to break free from the cage." ”

"Don't dare!"

Huo Jun hurriedly helped Liu Bei up and said: "Now that the army has not moved, Jiangdong has not fallen, how dare you say that Ming Gong has broken free from the cage." ”

Liu Bei was sitting precariously and said with concern: "Zhong Miao is going to Jiangxia now, if he comes to attack with the Sun family, he will be deeply uneasy, and he should veto it at that time." ”

Huo Jun smiled and said, "Duke Ming, the army will attack Jiangdong, how can you not know the geography and military of Jiangzuo." Jun will go to Jiangxia to explore the geography and military for the army, and if the Sun family comes to attack, Jun can frustrate its edge, and can also increase the morale of Huang Taishou and Liu Jingzhou. ”

Liu Bei frowned and said, "Zhong Miao's trip is in danger, so it's better to let Shu Zhi follow him." Uncle Zhizhi's bravery, second only to Yunchang, Yide, and Zilong in the reserve army, is also a strong general. ”

Liu Bei was a little worried in his heart, so far, Huo Jun is only doing things for him, but he is not clear about the upper and lower names, what if he is abducted, he can only help and care about Huo Jun in subtle matters at the moment.

"In that case, Jun thank you Ming Gong!"

Huo Jun is not reserved, he has the idea of going to Jiangxia to make trouble, and he also wants reliable subordinates to help him. Especially when going into battle to kill the enemy, Chen Zhi's bravery will be a big help.

"Safety should be the top priority in this trip!"

"No!"
