Chapter 411: Fighting Jiangdong (6)(1/2)
A person lives for a lifetime, nothing more than fame and fortune.
Liu Qi is not young anymore. Look at Liu Chuang, who is younger than him, who is now the prime minister of the Han Dynasty. Why don’t he feel sad?
They are all relatives of the Han Dynasty, but Liu Chuang's is much worse than Liu Qi.
He was the son of Liu Biao and the eldest son of Jingzhou. When he was making trouble in Jingzhou, Liu Chuang was still hiding in a small county town in Donghai County, and nothing was considered. But in a flash, Liu Chuang dominated the north and served the emperor as the emperor to command the princes. However, Liu Qi was driven out of Xiangyang and came to Jiangxia in order to survive. It can be said that he was surviving.
With such contrast, Liu Qi didn't say anything on the surface, but he felt uncomfortable in his heart.
Now that Liu Biao intends to surrender to Liu Chuang, wouldn’t he cut off his retreat?
When Liu Biao was the governor of Jingzhou, he was the eldest son of Liu Biao, and he could still be in charge no matter how bad he was. But once Liu Biao surrendered to Liu Chuang, judging from Liu Biao's current performance, he would definitely let Liu Cong inherit his title. If that were the case, his position of Liu Qi would become particularly awkward. Will he still be in charge like now?
You can know this answer without asking...
Liu Bei looked at Liu Qi quietly, without saying a word.
Seeing that Liu Qi's face was gloomy, he couldn't help but feel happy.
How could the old fox who had been for many years not telling Liu Qi's thoughts? Liu Bei knew that Liu Qi was moved! As the military advisor expected, it was true. How could Liu Qi be a poor man? Just a little provocation, this kid will obediently take the bait.
"Now Liu Jingzhou recalled Mr. Qi, which is obviously a fear of his lord.
If Mr. Qi is not protected, it will be no easy task for the lord to win Jingnan. Although Mr. Pan is very kind to him now, once Mr. Qi is lost, he will definitely not be polite to him. In any case, he must keep Mr. Qi. As long as Mr. Qi is here, I believe Mr. Pan will not change his mind, and the lord can take advantage of the situation to win Jingnan."
Pang Tong's words made Liu Bei's heart-warming.
Now, he had already moved Liu Qi, so he rang the railway while the hot: "Young Master is actually not to worry. I believe that many people in Xiangyang City are looking forward to your son. Since ancient times, the eldest son has been his heir. Yuan Shao had not grasped this point well at the beginning and tried to abolish the eldest son and establish the young man, which made him eventually defeated Cao Cao. Now the young man succeeds, it is natural. Duke Jing Sheng is also confused for a while. As long as the young man shows enough abilities, I believe Duke Jing Sheng will change his mind at that time.
What the young master lacks now is an opportunity to display his talents.
If you can't stay in Jiangxia, such an opportunity will not come..."
Liu Bei's words reached Liu Qi's heart.
He grabbed Liu Bei's hand and said, "Duke Xuande, you want to help me."
“What’s the difficulty?”
Liu Bei smiled and said, "In fact, now is the best time for the young master to show his talent... Liu Chuang swept the north with a sweeping force, expelled the emperor to the north and took charge of the government. He is a great thief of the country. He is now in war against Jiangdong and has no time to take care of Jingzhou. But once he destroys Jiangdong, he will inevitably swallow Jingxiang. This person is very ambitious and must not be taken lightly. If Jiangdong is destroyed, Jingzhou will be in danger... The young master should launch a righteous army, starting from Jingnan, joining Sun Quan in the east and Liu Zhang in the west, and then great things can be expected. He is not talented and is willing to plan the four counties of Jingnan for the young master."
Liu Qi was so excited that he nodded repeatedly to express his praise.
"But my father probably won't sit idly."
"What's the difficulty? The young master just acts and has his own tricks, but Mr. Jing Sheng agrees."
Liu Bei was full of confidence, which also made Liu Qi feel excited.
"But I don't know how to contact Sun Quan?"
"Sun Quan had sent someone to come before, and he had tried to contact him... Liu Mengyan advanced along the way, but Jiangdong was not a mob.
Zhou Yu was in charge of Lujiang, He Qi stationed troops in Kuaiji, and it was not easy for Liu Chuang to conquer Jiangdong in one fell swoop.
Therefore, what the young master had to do was to let Jiangdong hold Liu Mengyan's energy as much as possible, and to appease the four counties of Jingnan in the name of the young master, and then try to contact Liu Jiyu. Thinking about Liu Jiyu, who is also a relative of the Han Dynasty, how could he tolerate Liu Chuang's arrogant son?"
After hearing this, Liu Qi nodded repeatedly.
He wandered around the house, gritted his teeth after a moment, and made up his mind.
He took out a tiger talisman from the desk and handed it to Liu Bei, "Donald Xuande can mobilize Jiangxia's troops with the tiger talisman.
Qi Zhihui and Ju Jian informed him and asked him to cooperate with Xuande Gong with all his strength.
As for Jiangdong, Qi sent someone to contact him, hoping to form an alliance with Sun Quan."
Liu Bei was overjoyed, but he looked solemn on his face, and he held Liu Qi's hand and said, "The destiny of the Han Dynasty is all in the hands of the young master!"
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Liu Qi was in Jiangxia and angrily beheaded Liu Biao's envoy and refused to go to Xiangyang.
After Liu Biao learned the news, he was also furious.
He immediately raised his troops and ordered the general Wang Wei to command the army and send troops to Jiangxia to capture Liu Qi.
Wang Wei is a general under Liu Biao's tent and has a great reputation... But he never expected that Liu Qi would borrow Guan Yu from Liu Bei. Guan Yu's reputation was far less famous than in history because of Liu Chuang's appearance. But that was real talent and knowledge... In recent years, Guan Yu has not relaxed in Jingzhou at all, and his skills are more pure than those in the past.
He killed Wang Wei among thousands of troops alone and defeated the Jingzhou army.
After Wang Wei was killed, the troops in Jingzhou were defeated. Liu Qi took advantage of the victory to attack Nanxin City and ordered Guan Yu to station troops in Lulin Mountain.
The news reached Xiangyang, and Jingzhou was shocked.
Liu Biao was furious and ordered the general Wen Pin to lead 30,000 troops to send troops to Green Forest Mountain without saying a word.
Wenpin is a general in Jingzhou. He may not be as good as Guan Yu in terms of martial arts, but he is also a general in the early stage of refining the gods. In addition, he has outstanding military skills and a native Jingzhou native, which has a great advantage. Wenpin is extremely cautious in using soldiers. He learned the reasons for Wang Wei's failure and was not in a hurry to attack. Instead, he went step by step to confront Guan Yu at the foot of the Green Forest Mountain...
The situation in Jingzhou suddenly took a sharp turn.
No one expected that Liu Qi would dare to resist Liu Biao, and he did not expect that the eldest son, who seemed extremely cowardly, had such courage. He told the world that the reason for disobeying Liu Biao was not that he was unfilial, but because he did not want to see the Han Dynasty occupy the country. As the uncle of the Han Dynasty, Liu Biao ignored Liu Chuang's behavior and was actually unfaithful. Liu Qi said now that he would rather bear the reputation of being unfilial than be Liu Chuang's accomplice... He decided to raise an army in Jiangxia to fight against Liu Chuang, and called on people with knowledge in the world to help each other to resist the traitors and restore the reputation of the Han Dynasty.
After hearing this, Liu Biao was so angry that he vomited blood.
Liu Qi is pushing him to death, so how can you resist Liu Chuang?
But I have to say that Liu Qi's call is quite tempting.
After he issued the notice, Jingzhou heroes came to vote... Among them was Changsha hero Xing Daorong, who was good at using a Panmen axe and was brave enough to be unstoppable by thousands of men. In addition, Jiang Wan, Li Yan and others went to Jiangxia to join Liu Qi.
After Liu Chuang received news of the turmoil in Yanzhou, he was also shocked.
He calculated everything but failed to calculate the factor Liu Qi... No matter what, this guy is Liu Biao's eldest son.
Now that he has raised an army to resist, Liu Chuang has indeed caught him off guard.
But this is fine. Liu Chuang could not find an excuse to enter Jingzhou. Since Liu Qi jumped out, there was sufficient reason.
"Uncle, behind this Liu Qi, there must be Liu Bei's secret instigation, otherwise he would not be able to say such words.
Since Liu Bei can no longer help but jump out, and with Liu Qi's help, I'm afraid Liu Biao is not his opponent... I want to send troops to Jing Xiang, but I wonder what my uncle wants?"
Xun Yu thought about it and smiled slightly.
"Since the lord has made up his mind, why should hesitate?"
"Since that's the case, I'll return to Luoyang immediately!"
That night, Liu Chuang issued twelve orders in a row and sent them to Lujiang, Guangling, Nanyang and other places respectively.
Then he ordered people to transfer the Cao surname from Wen County... The Cao surname was seriously injured by Cao Zhang at Hulao Pass and had been trying to save face. But unexpectedly, Cao Cao was suddenly killed, causing Cao surname to lose his target of revenge. Now the old subordinate of the Cao family has become a family, and it is even harder for Cao surname to cause trouble for Cao Zhang. For a year, he stayed in Wen County to recuperate. Now Liu Chuang wanted to use troops to Jingzhou, so he thought of the Cao surname. Cao surname was also very happy about this and rushed to Luoyang overnight.
The news that Liu Chuang wanted troops to enter Jingzhou soon spread to Jingzhou.
When Liu Biao heard the urgent, he hurriedly ordered Kuai Liang to lead a delegation to Luoyang to ask for a meeting with Liu Chuang.
His meaning is very clear: I will solve my own affairs by myself, and there is no need for you to make a big move for the Prime Minister... The Prime Minister will still concentrate on attacking Jiangdong. I will not change my mind about what I have decided on. Please rest assured.
When Kuai Liang arrived in Luoyang, Liu Chuang returned to Luoyang.
"Mr. Kuai, tell me, can Duke Jingsheng really quell the civil strife?"
Kuai Liang also seemed a little hesitant and thought for a while and said, "Liang may not be able to guarantee that Jing Shenggong can quell the civil strife, but it can guarantee that Guiyang and Xiangyang will never fail."
The Kuai family has moved to Guiyang and has contacted Bu Zhi.
Once Guiyang is in danger, Buzhi will send troops from Jiaozhou to help. With the power of Kuai family and the help of Buzhi, Guiyang will never be in danger in a short period of time. Even if there is really trouble, Kuai family can retreat to Jiaozhou for asylum.
As for Xiangyang...
The five major surnames in Jingzhou are the dominant ones who are interested in Liu Chuang.
There was also Cai Mao commanding the troops in Jingzhou, and it was not easy for Liu Bei to seek it.
After hearing this, Liu Chuang couldn't help but nodded slightly.
It is true that he wanted to send troops to Jingzhou, but it is undeniable that now that he used troops two times, the battle in Hanzhong has not yet ended, and the battle in Jiangdong is still continuing. In addition, the Xianbei and other foreign races in the northern border are in trouble, so it is indeed very stressful to conquer Jingzhou.
"Let me do this, I will join the army and enter Nanyang.
If there is danger, Duke Jing Sheng can quickly inform me... Please tell Duke Jing Sheng that I will not take it seriously by the eldest son being bewitched by the annihilation. However, Liu Bei, the hero of the world, if this person is not eliminated, Jingzhou may be subject to war."
Kuai Liang nodded vigorously, "I will definitely tell Liu Jingzhou to the Prime Minister's good wishes!"
After appeased Kuai Liang, Liu Chuang immediately sent people to Guanzhong: The battle in Hanzhong should not be delayed for too long. Kong Ming's talent should live up to my entrustion. It is necessary to end the battle in Hanzhong before the beginning of winter. Kong Ming can decide on his own in front of the formation.
This is equivalent to sending an ultimatum to Zhuge Liang and ordering him to speed up.
I believe that Zhuge Liang can understand Liu Chuang’s difficulties and can use his skillful hands to end the battle in Hanzhong, allowing Liu Chuang to escape.
In early July, Liu Chuang informed the world and personally led an army of 80,000 to Nanyang...

As autumn begins, the weather in Jiangdong turns cooler.
Ling Cao was ambushed by the banks of the Bingshui River, looking up at Lu'an City.
Lu'an in the night is a bit bleak. In the drizzle, it gives people an inexplicable feeling of desolation.
Ling Cao took a deep breath and looked at the soldiers behind him.
In the reed marsh, thousands of Jiangdong scholars are hidden in it, each of which is solemn and solemn.
To be continued...
