Xiangyang, inside the Zhennan General Hall.

Liu Biao sat on the main seat, although he tried his best to show that he was very healthy, but the gray hair on his face and his yellow face were silently telling everyone that his physical condition was not so good.

The hall was full of people, and the high-ranking officials and important ministers in the middle were either from the Jingxiang clan or from the north, and the two were clearly listed on both sides.

Liu Biao held Liu Bei's expression, looked around at everyone, and said: "The Sun family is tyrannical, brutalizes the people, and is alone in the edict of the Son of Heaven, and orders the dog to conquer Jiangdong, and is fortunate to have gains. Although Yangzhou has a history of thorns, it is a thief Liu Fu, and it is difficult to achieve justice. Today's Yuzhou Mu, General Zuo Liu Yuzhang is the history of Yangzhou Thorn, I don't know why you think so? ”

Liu Biao's words seemed to be inquiring, but they had an unquestioning tone. He asked about the process, not the opinions of the crowd. After all, Liu Fu, the eight-certified Yangzhou assassin of the Han Dynasty, is a thief in Liu Biao's mouth.

As for why Liu Biao dared, just look at Liu Bei. After Liu Bei left Xuchang, General Zuo and Yuzhou Mu were basically stripped away, but that's what Liu Bei called himself, what can you do!

Liu Qibiao is the history of Yangzhou Thorn, but it is personally certified by Yuzhou Mu, Zuo General Liu Bei and Jingzhou Mu, Zhennan General Liu Biao, you say yes, no.

If there is a lesson from the past, just look at that Lai Gong. Last winter, Liu Biao appointed Lai Gong as the assassin of Jiaozhou to compete for Jiaozhou. And Cao Cao worshiped Jiaozhi Taishou Shixie as the general of Suinan Zhonglang and led Jiao Taishou. Dong supervised the seven counties of Jiaozhou. One turned his face, and the two also turned his face, and at the moment he turned his face for his son Liu Qi and Cao Cao, what could he not do.

Kuai Yue, as the core official of Jingzhou, came out and said: "Liu Yuzhang is virtuous and loves the people, and he has meritorious work in opening up the land, so he can assassinate the history of Yangzhou." ”

"Liu Yuzhang can be the history of Yangzhou." Everyone responded and said.

Liu Biao turned his head to look at Liu Qi and asked, "Is it possible to be competent?" ”

Liu Qi stepped out and said: "With the grace of the Son of Heaven, recommended by Liu Yuzhou, and recommended by all the wise men, although Qi is only sparse and shallow, he is willing to assassinate the history of Yangzhou and the people of Mujiang Zuo." ”

Liu Biao smiled and said: "Qi'er needs to be reluctant, there are still vacancies in Yangzhou County, can there be a virtuous civil and military officer?" ”

Liu Biao is not a person without ambitions, starting from the wedding farce, Liu Biao, who was stimulated, struck hard, first appointed his henchman Lai Gong as the assassin of Jiaozhou, and now his cousin Liu Qi as the assassin of Yangzhou. However, unlike Lai Gong, Liu Biao has the idea of cultivating Liu Qi and is ready to give Liu Qi a chance to cultivate his henchmen.

Liu Qi took out the song from his sleeve, bowed his waist and offered it with both hands, and said: "Father Qiyu, Jingbei Zhonglang will Huo Zhongmiao, who is good at martial arts and strategy. outwit Chaisang and submit Xu Sheng; Stick to Peng Ze and kill Huang Gai, Song Qian, Pan Zhang and other generals. The military achievements are impressive, and they can be guarded by Poyang. ”

"Poyang County, divided by Yuzhang, has jurisdiction over eight counties of Poyang, Pengze, Yuhan, Guangchang, Geyang, Shangrao, Le'an, and Wuyang."

"General Liu Guoan, loyal to the military, with the army repeatedly broke the Jiangdong thieves, several military exploits, can supervise the military of Yuzhang. Win the county is too guarded by Mi Zizhong, supervises the army's grain and grass, is loyal, and can take on great responsibilities, and should be turned into Luling Taishou to guard the southern Xinjiang. ”

When everyone heard this, they whispered about the people on this list. They originally thought that Liu Qi would serve as a local taishou with clansmen like Liu Pan, but they didn't expect Liu Qibiao's twenty-six-year-old Huo Jun to serve as the taishou, and he also deliberately cut out the land of eight counties and served Huo Jun as the Taishou of Poyang.

You must know that two years ago, Huo Jun was only the mayor of Maicheng, but now he has become a member of the 2,000 stones, and he has become a taishou at the age of twenty-six, which is rare in the world.

With Huo Jun as the Taishou, Mi Zhu was transferred to the Luling Taishou, but it was not so noticeable.

Liu Biao looked at the names of Huo Jun and Mi Zhu, and then looked at Liu Qi and Liu Bei respectively. His face was a little worried, this eldest son was too generous, and the two counties were easily given away. It's easy to say that Huo Jun belongs to Liu Qi's henchmen, but this Mi Zhu is Liu Bei's brother-in-law.

Thinking of Danyang County, which promised Liu Bei before, Liu Biao coughed lightly and said: "Miying County has outstanding talents, and Juyuzhang may be limited. If Danyang is conquered, it can be shown that it is too defended in Danyang, and now it is too defended in Luling. ”

"No!"

Liu Qi responded to the first fall, Cai Mao got up and spoke, and said: "Qi Ming Gong, Mao thinks that the current defeat of the Sun clan and the turmoil of the army are the time to win the pursuit. Now Liu Yangzhou and General Zuo are far away from Jiangdong, and the Poyang water thieves rebelled, which is not a good thing. It is better for the Ming Duke to order the two to return to the army to calm the army's heart. ”

Liu Bei hesitated and said: "The soldiers have been fighting for nearly a year, and the army is tired, so it is better to rest for a few months." If you have been away from your family for a long time, you will have something in your heart, and now you will see it, and your heart will rejoice, and the same is true for the soldiers! ”

Kuai Yue stroked his beard and said: "Duke Ming, what Duke Xuande said is not unreasonable, it is better to let the officers and soldiers in the army return to their hometowns to visit relatives for half a year." And Liu Yangzhou, Liu Yuzhou and other generals can bring their families to Yuzhang Nanchang, after all, Yuzhang has been overcome, and the generals and their families have been separated for a long time, which is not conducive to combat, and it is also inconvenient to go back and forth. ”

Kuai Yue pinched his nose and wanted to drive Liu Bei away, they planned to a critical moment, if Liu Bei and Liu Qi often went in and out of Xiangyang on the pretext of visiting their families, they would really make a mistake.

Although there is less means to restrain Liu Bei, it can also allow Liu Bei to stay in Jiangdong for a long time, saving him from finding an excuse to return to Xiangyang. In the future, Liu Qi and Liu Bei will not return if they can not return, and it is better to die in Jiangdong and not destroy their layout of seizing power and surrendering Cao.

Kuai Liang also came out of the queue appropriately, and said: "Ming Gong, Cao Cao's pacification of Hebei is imminent, and we must also speed up our pace." Last year, the army was sent to Jiaozhou, Yangzhou Erzhou, the war situation in Jiaozhou was anxious, and the war in Yangzhou went smoothly. If Sun Quan is allowed to breathe and ask for help from Liu Fu, he may cause another incident and be detrimental to the war in Jiangdong. ”

In Kuaiyue's plan, Liu Qi and Liu Bei left Xiangyang and stationed troops in Jiangdong, and they could use Cao Cao as an additional force to intervene and help them achieve their goals.

For example, if Cao Cao sent troops to conquer Jingzhou, they could find an excuse to transfer troops back from Jiangdong; Or Cao Cao, who held Jianghuai, sent troops to aid Sun Quan and intervene in Liu Qi and Liu Bei's war against Jiangdong. In short, they are not in Xiangyang, and there are many ways to treat them.

"This~"

Liu Qi showed hesitation and said, "The monarch's father is sick, and the son can't bear to stay away. ”

Liu Biao sighed and said: "Men should be determined to be in the rivers and seas, and Bo Wei needs to make meritorious contributions. Now back to Jiangdong, if there is a war to subside, you can enter Xiangyang to meet your father. ”

Liu Qi wiped his tears and said, "Father should take care!" ”

Liu Biao's eyes fell on Liu Bei, and he said with emotion: "Xuande, Bo Wei and you are uncles and nephews, so you should take care of them." ”

Liu Bei restrained his expression and replied solemnly: "Please rest assured, brother, treat Bo Wei as a son and nephew, and be a foil for yourself." ”
