Zhuge Liang took the feather fan.

Everyone chatted for a while at Pound's house before leaving.

What they didn't expect was that on the road less than three miles away from Xiangyang City, they actually met Liu Cong and two retinues.

However, at this time, Liu Cong's angry expression was different from that when he left Pang Degong before, and he was a little depressed.

Seeing this, Lu Yi motioned to Shi Huan to drive the carriage to Liu Cong's side.

The two entourages behind Liu Cong were suddenly furious.

In this Jingzhou, there are people who dare to go hand in hand with their second son!

One of them drew his sword and scolded: "He is so small and bold! The second son is here, eating the bear's heart and leopard gall? ”

Liu Cong was also a little angry, reined in the horses under him, and looked at the carriage with a gloomy face.

Lu Yi motioned for the carriage to stop.

Carrying out all the small boxes of gold, silver and jewelry he was carrying from the carriage, Lu Yi jumped out of the carriage with a smile, bowed to Liu Cong and said: "Buyi Qiaoze, I am fortunate to see the second son, and I specially offer a thin gift, I hope the second son will accept it with a smile!" ”

As he spoke, he opened the small box in his hand.

It contained a large string of gold and silver jewelry.

Zhuge Liang sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain of the car window slightly, and looked at Lu Yi outside.

Looking at Lu Yi's flattering smile, Zhuge Liang: "."

The thing that his brother-in-law wants to verify is really related to the son.

Looking at him like this, it is admirable.

Now you are the lord of Jiangdong, but you can put down your dignity and get along with people with such a humble identity.

Or, is his master really a brother-in-law?

Liu Cong was still riding on a horse.

Looking down at the gold, silver and jewelry in the small box in Lu Yi's hand, Liu Cong's face looked a little better and said, "Say, what are you looking for this son?" ”

Lu Yi said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just that the second son looks dignified, a talent, and has a heart to admire." ”

Lu Yi's words made Liu Cong quite comfortable.

Growing so big, although he is often praised by his subordinates for being good and noble, it is the first time he has been stopped in the wild, just to praise himself and give him a heavy gift.

In the past, only his half-brother enjoyed such treatment.

Even, he heard Cai Mao scolding himself for being a mecreo.

If it weren't for Cai Mao being his father's minister, he would have stabbed Cai Mao to death with a sword!

It was also because of this that he specially asked his father, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, to assign him some tasks, so that he could prove that his talent was not inferior to that of his half-brother.

To his dismay, his father gave him two missions to recruit hermits.

One is Pang Degong.

One is Sima Hui.

Pang Degong, according to his father, don't look at him as a farmer, but he is a member of the Pang family.

However, after he went to visit, Pang Degong looked down on people, which was really disappointing.

Who do you look down upon?

What if you are a member of the Pang family's family?

Not yet my father's subordinate?

I'm a dignified second son, and my identity can't compare to you?

Look down on me?

I look down on you even more as a sloppy and sloppy peasant!

As for Sima Hui, that's even more wasteful.

Promised, timid as a mouse.

No matter what you ask, you know to say "good, good"!

He went to inquire, and the nearby villagers all said that this Sima Hui was a fool.

The neighbor's son died, and he was very sad.

This Sima Hui was still talking vigorously next to him, and he was almost beaten to death!

Someone nearby lost a pig and ran to his house and went directly to his house to take the pig.

He knew that the pig was his own, and he said yes vigorously.

In the end, the pig was recovered, and he only said yes!

Even his wife called him an idiot!

What's the use of recruiting such a person yourself?

That's why he's so frustrated.

Fortunately, today I finally met someone who opened his eyes.

Liu Cong motioned for an entourage to take the small box from Lu Yi's hand, and said to Lu Yi: "It's quite discerning!" If you have something to do in the future, you can go to Ben Gongzi. This son has always known people and likes talents. ”

As he spoke, he swaggered and was about to leave.

Lu Yi hurriedly said: "Second son, looking at your face, it seems that there is a difficult color. Although I am not talented, I also know a little bit about poetry and books, and I have a little strategy. If I have this honor and can give advice to the second son, I will die without regrets. ”

Liu Cong grabbed the reins again and glanced at Lu Yi with disdain.

So young.

Moreover, Xiangyang has never heard of a celebrity surnamed Qiao.

There is no doubt that the person in front of him could not be a talented person at all.

I just said it nicely, I just want to look at myself.

Now it seems that after all, he wants to set up the relationship between his two sons.

Just ready to keep leaving.

But in a blink of an eye, his brother was followed by a group of celebrities.

Even Cai Mao's house was eye-to-eye with him.

And there is no one around me who helps.

Now he has messed up the two tasks given by his father.

When I go back, I am afraid that I will disappoint my father even more.

In the days to come, it will be even more difficult.

Thinking of this, Liu Cong's eyes suddenly lit up.

Why don't you push the man out of front of you?

Let's just say that he misled himself?

In this way, although the father will still blame himself, the main responsibility is still borne by the man in front of him.

And now—

Looking at Shi Huan, who was driving the carriage on the wheel of the carriage, he was tall and had a fierce face.

If this is strong, he will only have two followers by his side now.

And he is not good at learning.

If you can't beat it, you're in danger.

In that case, why don't you lure him into the city, to his own residence, and then coerce and lure?

Sure enough, I am extremely smart!

Such brilliant strategies can be easily used!

Liu Cong changed his smile and said to Lu Yi: "Qiao Ze, right?" This son does have a hard time. Since you are willing to solve problems for this son, then okay, let's go with this son! There are many people here, and it is inconvenient to speak. I went to the residence, and my son will tell you again. ”

Lu Yi laughed.

Lots of people?

This second son, Liu Cong, is really not very smart as said in history, and he can't even lie.

However, just go and check it out.

Lu Yi hurriedly said with a happy face: "Obey!" ”

As he spoke, he climbed into the carriage and asked Shi Huan to drive the carriage and follow Liu Cong.

In the carriage, Zhuge Ruoxue said in a low voice: "Husband, why do you feel that this second son is not very smart?" ”

Lu Yi smiled and made a silent motion.

Chen Gong glanced at Zhuge Liang.

He saw what Lu Yi, the lord, wanted to do.

However, Wu Hou's second brother-in-law turned out to be calm about all this and did not have any curiosity.

Do you see it too?

So young, is it really a seedling?

The group followed Liu Cong into Xiangyang City and went straight to the back door of the General's Mansion.

Lu Yi Shi Huan took Zhuge Ruoxue, Chen Gong and Zhuge Liang back to his residence first, and then came to pick him up.

Liu Cong led them into the back door and went straight to his residence, in the hall of a house to the west.

Liu Cong didn't even give Lu Yi, Nangong Yan and Lu Shisan a chance to sit down, he sat directly on the main seat, eating pastries, and said casually: "Say, what is the plan to teach this son?" If the strategy is not good, when the time comes, Ben Gongzi will not give you a good look, don't blame Ben Gongzi at that time! ”

Lu Yi asked, "Second son, do you want to be the son of the world?" ”

Liu Cong, who was eating pastries, raised his head and said angrily: "Are you sick in the brain?" This kind of thing, need to ask? ”

I'm now overwhelmed by my half-brother.

What else is there to talk about?

Lu Yi was not angry, and said with a smile: "I have a way, I can let the second son defeat the eldest son and sit on the throne of the world." No, to be exact, it is to sit on the position of Jingzhou pastor. ”

The air around them was eerily quiet.

Behind Lu Yi, Lu Shisan secretly swallowed his saliva.

Wu Hou came to Jingzhou this time, and he wanted to bring down Jingzhou?

Oh, my God!

That's too bold!

I didn't bring soldiers and horses, how can I do this?

Liu Cong solemnly looked at Lu Yi this time, the young man in front of him who was a few years older than him.

However, he did not directly agree.

Sitting on the position of Jingzhou pastor, he never dreamed of it.

Moreover, if it spreads, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Let's see what this person has to say.

It's really not good, it's natural to push him out, and he can earn some favor from his father.

Liu Cong continued to eat the pastry and said, "Oh? Tell me about it. ”

Lu Yi said: "The second son is not comparable to the eldest son now, and the biggest problem is not that the second son is really inferior to the eldest son." ”

Liu Cong nodded.

He was comfortable with that.

Those celebrities are a bunch of dogs!

Where do they understand their cleverness as the second son?

Liu Cong said: "You continue." ”

Lu Yi said: "The biggest problem of the second son is that there is no one to support him. ”

"Although the eldest son has many celebrities by his side, it is not a big problem."

"His advantage is that he doesn't have Jingzhou Mu's ministers to make trouble."

In other words, Jingzhou Mu's ministers did not stand in line, and he had the praise of many celebrities, and he looked more like Jingzhou Mu. Naturally, it is more favored by Jingzhou pastors. ”

"What if—"

Lu Yi paused, and then continued: "If the second son can pull the ministers of Jingzhou Mu over, then the second son can have a more obvious advantage than the eldest son. ”

Liu Cong said with a calm face: "Nonsense! Can I know about this question? The problem is that even Cai Mao's thing, not only is he not optimistic about his son, but he also insults him! ”

When Liu Cong said this, he spat and said, "That greedy ugly monster! If this son has the power of his father, he will destroy his whole clan! ”

Lu Yi smiled: "Second son, don't say that. Cai Mao, he has an advantage that other ministers do not have. I have a way to get the second son and Cai Mao to stand together. In other words, let Cai Mao do his best to help the second son ascend to the position of the prince, and even the position of Jingzhou pastor. ”

Liu Cong: "."

Seeing that Lu Yi no longer spoke, Liu Cong hurriedly said, "Why don't you continue?" ”

Lu Yiwei smiled slightly: "Second son, Mrs. Cai, haven't you given birth to an heir to Jingzhou Mu yet?" ”

Liu Cong nodded.

Lu Yi said again: "Is Mrs. Cai Cai Cai a relative?" ”

Liu Cong said: "It's Cai Mao's sister." ”

Lu Yi said: "Does Cai Mao have a sister who married Huang Chengyan of the Huang family?" ”

Liu Cong said: "It's Cai Mao's eldest sister." ”

Lu Yi said: "Is Mrs. Cai favored by Jingzhou Mu? ”

Liu Cong said: "Yes. ”

Lu Yi sighed.

It's roughly the same as the historical records I've seen in the original history.

Discrepancies may apply.

But there are no big problems.

Lu Yi said: "So, if the second son can get an heir for Mrs. Cai, does Cai Mao have to stand with the second son?" Does the Huang family also have to be with the second son? ”

"The four major families in Jingzhou, Cai, Kuai, Huang, Zhang, and the second son occupy the second."

"Fight for the Zhang family again."

"Isn't this Jingzhou the second son's bag?"

Liu Cong suddenly stood up and stammered, "Are you crazy?" I, how dare I hit Cai's idea? And, she, she's so much older than me! Also, if my father finds out, I'll die a terrible death! ”

Lu Yi: "."
