Chapter 109 Negotiations

"What is Liu Jingzhou's intention to transfer a certain person back to Xiangyang?"

Inside the big tent, Liu Bei propped his head and had a headache.

I finally ran out of Xiangyang, and seeing that the Yishan counties were about to enter, I first got Peng Hu to rebel, and then I had to be taken back by Liu Biao, which was too unlucky.

And he couldn't refuse, after all, the grain and grass, baggage, family, and sergeants were all in Jingzhou, and he had to rely on Liu Biao for the time being.

Jian Yong groaned for a while and said, "Liu Jingzhou transferred the lord back to Xiangyang, I'm afraid he is suspicious of the lord. After all, the lord has made great achievements in Yuzhang, broke the history of Tai, defeated Sun Ben, expanded the army of more than 10,000 people, and has a tendency to be anti-guest-oriented, how can Liu Jingzhou not be suspicious of the lord. ”

Liu Bei rubbed his head and asked, "Is there a way to crack it?" ”

Jian Yong's face was embarrassed, and he said: "When I return to Xiangyang on this trip, the lord needs to visit Liu Jingzhou with a humble attitude, and praise the exploits of the eldest son, saying that his overseer is modest, and his majesty is well-behaved, and he cannot be alone. ”

"It's nature!"

Liu Bei's gaze fell on Xu Shu and asked, "What does Yuan Zhi think?" ”

Xu Shu stroked his beard and said: "Lord, Liu Jingzhou is suspicious of the lord, it is nothing more than worrying that the lord has the right to seize the eldest son and divide Yuzhang. The lord needs to prove himself and show his attitude, so as to appease Liu Jingzhou's heart. ”

"Can you elaborate?" Liu Bei lifted his spirits and asked.

"When the lord enters Xiangyang, you can't bring too many people, Zilong alone and dozens of people can be ridden. And took the major general and entered Xiangyang together, with a clear heart without other thoughts. When leaving the army, properly arrange the military and truthfully report to Liu Jingzhou to let him know the military situation. Xu Shu said.

"Then Liu Jingzhou asked about the expansion of the army, how to answer it." Liu Bei said worriedly.

Xu Shu thought about it and said: "That is to say, the Jiangdong soldiers, if they do not expand the army, it will be difficult to defeat the enemy. Zhong Miao and Guoan have both expanded their armies, and they are not the only ones. The lord can also say that if Liu Jingzhou has insufficient soldiers and horses, he can send a sergeant back to Jingzhou. Liu Jingzhou is vulgar and good-looking, so he can't promise it. ”

"What Yuan Zhi said is reasonable!"

Liu Bei sighed and said, "I hope this trip is safe and I can return to Yuzhang smoothly." ”

After a pause, Liu Bei asked, "How is Zhong Miao discussing with the eldest son, is there any movement?" ”

"It's still under discussion, and it's not over."

"Wait!"

Liu Bei's return to Xiangyang not only had an impact on Liu Bei personally, but also on Liu Qi. Liu Bei is discussing countermeasures, and Liu Qi is also discussing measures with Huo Jun.

Huo Jun poured a cup of tea for Liu Qi, and said in an analysis: "Liu Jingzhou summoned Xuande Gong to Xiangyang, Jun secretly thought that Cai Mao and Kuai Yue saw that the war in Yuzhang was going well, and they were afraid that the eldest son would make meritorious contributions and succeed Liu Jingzhou." Therefore, Liu Jingzhou was tricked to transfer Xuande Gong back to Xiangyang, wanting to cut off one of the eldest son's arms. ”

Liu Qi frowned and said, "It's better to let Qi send a letter to my father, saying that the war is urgent at the moment, and it is difficult for my uncle to withdraw back to Xiangyang, so I will postpone it for the time being." ”

Huo Jun shook his head and said, "If that's the case, the eldest son really hurt Xuande Gong." ”

"Why?"

Huo Jun said in a deep voice: "When Xuande Gong was in Xinye, Liu Jingzhou was afraid of Xuande's prestige. Today, Xuande Gong was summoned to Xiangyang, because he was bewitched by Cai Mao and Kuai Yue, worried that Xuande Gong was plotting to kill the eldest son, and wanted to separate Yuzhang and stand on his own. The eldest son's letter was sent to Xiangyang, didn't it make Liu Jingzhou even more suspicious of Xuande Gong. ”

"Ahh

Liu Qi opened his mouth slightly and said in shock: "My father was worried that my uncle would harm me, so I called him to Xiangyang." ”

Huo Jun emphatically said: "Cai Mao and Kuai Yue were worried about the eldest son's meritorious service, so they slandered Liu Jingzhou and made him suspicious of Xuande Gong. As a result, Xuande Gong was transferred away, leaving the eldest son alone. ”

Liu Qi frowned and said, "Uncle doesn't mean anything to me, my father is really confused!" ”

After hesitating for a while, Liu Qi said: "Zhong Miao, what do you want to say that my uncle wants to help me go to Yangzhou, but do you have other thoughts?" ”

Huo Jun was stunned by Liu Qi's words. He can't say that he suggested that Liu Bei borrow chickens to lay eggs, and wanted to take the opportunity to take Jiangdong as his foundation. But people are not ruthless, and Huo Jun doesn't know what to do at the moment.

After being silent for a while, Huo Jun opened his mouth and said, "What does the eldest son think? ”

"Qi doesn't know."

Liu Qi shook his head, his expression was also confused, and said: "Xuande Gong has a strategy, everyone respects it, Qi is not as good as it!" ”

Saying that, Liu Qi smiled bitterly and said, "Qi has no father's talent, nor does he have the ability of an uncle. The generals in the army are more respectful of the eldest son, but they serve the military strategy of their uncle. ”

"Bo Wei is here, can it be recorded in the account."

Liu Bei didn't know when he lifted the curtain and appeared at the tent door to interrupt the two of them.

"The eldest son and the envoy have something to say, and Jun will go out."

When Huo Jun saw Liu Bei coming alone, he knew that he and Liu Qi had something to say alone, so he got up and left.

"Uncle!"

"Bo Wei!"

Huo Jun walked out of the tent, closed the curtain for the two of them, and stood outside the camp, allowing the two to discuss the topic of future benefit distribution.

As the war progressed smoothly, there were also some contradictions between Liu Bei and Liu Qi. That is, Liu Bei's growing prestige and ability to subdue everyone do not match his current position of power.

After all, the danger brought by Liu Bei can be felt even by Liu Biao, who is far away in Jingzhou, and Liu Qi is not a fool, so he will naturally feel it.

What Liu Qi can ask Huo Jun in today's account is by no means out of thin air, but has been thinking about it for a long time.

There was an imbalance in the cooperation between the two, which was originally based on Liu Qi and supplemented by Liu Bei. Now, with the growth of Liu Bei's strength and the decline of Liu Qi's role, the status of the two has changed.

Liu Biao's sudden summons is better to see an old father worried that the relationship between Liu Bei and Liu Qi is unbalanced, so he will get Liu Bei back and let Liu Qi master his subordinates. So whether Liu Bei can return to Yuzhang, Liu Qi's attitude is one of the keys.

If it is replaced by a later company as an analogy, when the company was established, Liu Qi brought capital into shares, which was more than Liu Bei's shares in technology. But as the company grew, the technology funder became too awesome to change his original position in the company.

Liu Bei is qualified to claim the corresponding rights to match his status. Then Liu Qi must cede the corresponding shares to meet Liu Bei's needs.

Therefore, it will be crucial to adjust the relationship between the two, from the main and auxiliary to the reciprocal relationship. And this change in the cooperative relationship requires Liu Bei and Liu Qi to negotiate spontaneously.

The initiation of this negotiation mainly came from Liu Bei's personal intentions and the small suggestions provided by Huo Jun.

Liu Bei didn't want to turn his face with Liu Qi, nor did he want to cut off with Jingzhou. He hopes to complete the new distribution of interests between the two before leaving Yuzhang, and thus consolidate the cooperative relationship between him and Liu Qi.

Huo Jun paced and wandered around the tent door, quite worried that the two would quarrel. After all, he has a relationship with Liu Qi and Liu Bei, and if there is a dispute, he will be embarrassed to be caught in the middle.

Eavesdropping on the voices in the tent, looming in his ears, he let go of the scruples in his heart. Although he couldn't hear the detailed words, he could hear that there was no quarrel as Huo Jun imagined, but the pleasure of the two of them discussing.

After more than an hour, Liu Qi sent Liu Bei out of the account with a smile, and his uncle kept shouting, the relationship was quite close, and it was obvious that the two had negotiated a new agreement.

When he came out of the camp, Liu Bei winked at Huo Jun and signaled him not to worry.

Huo Jun walked into the tent, looked at Liu Qi with a smile on his face, and asked, "How did the eldest son talk with Xuandegong?" ”

Liu Qi pulled Huo Jun in and whispered: "Uncle Biaoqi is the assassin of Yangzhou, after the pacification of Jiangdong, the counties of Yangzhou will be divided according to the merits of the generals, and Zhong Miao will be too shou in the future!" ”

"Then what does Xuande Gong want!" Huo Jun asked.

Liu Qi leaned into Huo Jun's ear and said, "Uncle is Yangzhou Mu!" ”

"Huh?"

Liu Qi saw that Huo Jun was surprised, smiled hehe, and explained: "When a certain person is a pastor of Jingzhou, my uncle is a pastor of Yangzhou. ”

Liu Qi saw that Huo Jun was thinking about the obscurity, and said bluntly: "When Jiangdong is pacified, Qi will lead the history of Yangzhou and share the counties with his uncle. When my father was seriously ill, my uncle did his best to help Qi inherit the throne of Jingzhou. When a certain leader was a pastor in Jingzhou, his cousin was a pastor in Yangzhou. ”

"I wonder what Zhong Miao thinks?" Liu Qi said.

Huo Jun pretended to think about it and said, "This may be the most appropriate!" ”

Secretly, Huo Jun exhaled a long breath, and Liu Bei really talked seriously with Liu Qi about the distribution method according to his suggestion.

Liu Qi sat on the couch and said, "This time my uncle returned to Xiangyang and was framed by the villain, and Qi was a peer to help. General Guan led the soldiers to the south to conquer the Sun brothers and pacify the battle in Luling; The matter of conscripting Peng Hu was handed over to Zhong Miao to be responsible, supervising Gan Ning and Su Fei, and organizing and training our army's sailors. ”

Saying that, Liu Qi laughed and said: "Qi returns to Xiangyang this time, if he has the opportunity to be a father, he will be the Taishou and live up to the merits of the king." ”

"Gongzi Xie!"

ps: Two changes for the time being today
