Rebirth of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

"Auntie, when I sent this cloak to Young Master last month, I met Cai Mao's bandits who robbed and killed Young Master in front of Young Master's mansion. Who could it be if it wasn't him who murdered Young Master this time?" Huang Wudie has already called out. Call aunt, then simply call aunt again, expressing the doubts in my heart in one breath.

Mrs. Liu was startled, her guess was correct, and what she said in front of her elder brother Liu Biao was also correct. It really was Cai Mao who murdered Liu Qi, and she said anxiously: "It really is Cai Mao, I have to go back and tell my nephew to be careful. point."

"I'll go too." Huang Wudie heard that Liu Qi was back, and she had already flown to the prince's mansion with her heart on her mind. When she learned from Liu's mouth that Liu Qi was murdered again, she wished to see Liu Qi immediately.

Seeing Huang Wudie's anxious look, Mrs. Liu didn't think about it, and was very happy for Huang Wudie to go with her. She said "OK, let's go together", but she didn't care to report Liu Qi's size to Huang Wudie. Wu Die will go back to the Prince's Mansion together, and it will be better if Huang Wu Die personally tailors Liu Qi's clothes.

Huang Wudie said to Mrs. Huang who was accompanying the customer to choose clothes in the shop: "Mother, my aunt and I will go to the son's mansion, and we will return as soon as we go." After finishing speaking, without waiting for Mrs. Huang to reply, she took the bow and arrow from the wall, Having learned the lesson from last time, this time Huang Wudie brought a large bag full of pear flower waterfall rain needles, and boarded the carriage with Liu's two guards who had been waiting at the door.

When Mrs. Liu and Huang Wudie hurried to the Prince's Mansion, Liu Qi and housekeepers Liu Zhong, Wen Dai, Chen Wen, and Chen Wu were discussing matters in the small living room of Liu Qi's bedroom. The atmosphere was tense and heated.

First, Chen Wen briefly recounted the legendary and thrilling experience of stealing swords with Liu Qi from Jiangling and being chased and killed by Cai Mao. The housekeeper Liu Zhong not only successfully found the king's sword for Liu Qi, but also obtained Liu Bang's gold slip and golden hazel jade by accident. Excited about clothes, worried about E Huan's visit to Hua Tuo in the north, and even more sad about the four bronze guards buried in the hanging coffin on the cliff.

Chen Wu and Wen Dai respectively introduced the training of soldiers and the improvement of soldiers' food. Liu Zhong also picked up the important things that happened more than a month after Liu Qi left Xiangyang. Cai Mao lived in peace, but he never expected that Cai Mao would send someone to secretly chase and kill Liu Qi, and arranged for archers to wait on the roofs of the houses on both sides of the street in front of the Prince's Mansion, which proved that Cai Mao always wanted to put Liu Qi to death, and Liu Qi was not the son of Xiangyang. If you stay for a long time, you have to make plans as soon as possible.

It was discussed that Cai Mao had repeatedly harmed his son Liu Qi, and he was about to be forced to leave his hometown by Cai Mao. Relying on the [-] strong soldiers who had trained for more than a month, Chen Wu's temper came up. Yes, kill."

Seeing that everyone was silent and Liu Qi didn't make a statement, Chen Wu became anxious and shouted: "My lord, just give me an order, Cai Hao is too arrogant, I can't bear it anymore, a month's training, three hundred warriors are not vegetarians, let me take you The soldiers went over and immediately overthrew the Cai Mansion."

Seeing Liu Qi's unusual composure, Chen Wen stopped Chen Wu and said, "No, the time is not yet ripe!"

Chen Wudao: "Cai Mao has ridden on our heads to shit, how long will we have to endure?"

Chen Wendao: "Brother Wu lacks consideration. It is easy to overthrow Cai's mansion at this time, but it is difficult to clean up the mess. We only have three hundred soldiers, so what can we do if we kill Cai Mao? You must know that Jingzhou is still controlled by the Cai clan in essence. In fact, Jingzhou is also relying on the power of the Cai clan, so Cai Mao is confident."

Chen Wu didn't take it seriously, and said, "Let's talk about it after killing, are you afraid that the Cai clan will be turned upside down?"

Liu Qi glanced at everyone, knowing that Chen Wu's bravery is extraordinary, but he doesn't know any strategy. He is the most suitable person to be a personal guard by his side. It is force, strength, and more intelligence.

In terms of intelligence, the housekeeper Liu Zhong is far-sighted, and he is a talent, but he is not as good as Chen Wen, who is more intelligent than Zhuge; as for Wen Dai, although he has precocious wisdom, he still needs experience.As for Xiangyang City, which is in many dangers, Liu Qi has to make up his mind and make a decision on what to do.

Liu Qi pressed Chen Wu with his hands, then turned to Chen Wen and said, "Brother Wen, if we leave Xiangyang, Jingxiang seven counties, which county should we go to?"

Chen Wen twitched his short beard, as if he had thought about it long ago, and blurted out, "Jiang Xia."

"Jiangxia?" Liu Qi repeated in surprise. In history, Liu Qi was indeed the prefect of Jiangxia. It was Sun Jian who conquered Liu Biao from Yuzhou, and was shot and killed by Liu Biao's troops. Later, Sun Quan killed Huang Zu in revenge for his father. .After Huang Zu's death, Liu Qi followed Zhuge Liang's suggestion that "Shen Sheng is in danger while Chong'er is outside", and Liu Biao took over the post of the deceased Huang Zu and served as the prefect of Jiangxia.

Liu Qi couldn't help being surprised, could it be that Chen Wen could foresee what would happen a few years later?

"Yes, Jiang Xia." Chen Wen said affirmatively.

Wen Dai, who has always listened more and talked less, said, "Master, I think Jiangxia is worse than going to Nanyang."

Liu Qi didn't have time to ask why Chen Wen chose to go to Jiangxia, but was interrupted by Wen Dai, so he asked, "Wen Dai, tell me why going to Jiangxia is not as good as Nanyang?"

Wen Dai replied: "Jiangxia is adjacent to Nanjun and only governs 14 counties. It is still constrained by Cai Mao, the general of Zhonglang who is also the prefect of Nanjun and governs 17 counties of Nanjun. It is difficult to develop."

Liu Qi nodded, motioning for Wen Dai to continue.

Wen Dai said again: "Nanyang County is different. It has 36 counties under its jurisdiction. It has a vast area and many mountains. It is easy to station troops and produce, and it is easier to develop and grow. Even if Cai Mao has the intention to do harm, he is beyond his reach. His father is the prefect of Nanjun. He often admires the son Ren Virtue, but also the meaning of serving the son, if you find a good opportunity, get the consent of the lord, go to Nanyang County to seek a city and a pool as a base, and make decisions on your own, why worry about no way forward?"

As soon as Wen Dai finished speaking, Chen Wu didn't think Wen Dai's suggestion was so good, and said disdainfully, "Brother Dai, Nanyang County is too far away? Is it necessary to hide so far? Also, we killed Wenjiazhuang last time." Does your father really not hold grudges about the deaths of more than twenty of you villagers?"

As soon as Chen Wu finished speaking, Wen Dai blushed and retorted: "My father is clear about right and wrong, and is upright and upright, absolutely not what Brother Wu said."

Chen Wen listened to Wen Dai's suggestion that going to Jiangxia is worse than going to Nanyang, thought it over carefully, and thought it was reasonable, and said: "You and ours are brothers, Brother Wu, don't talk nonsense, let alone be a villain. The belly of a gentleman. General Wenpin's ability to keep his son by his side means that he admires him [-] points, and he also gave back [-] pairs of armor as proof. General Wen's bearing is well known and should be respected. If you go to Nanyang, it is indeed better than Jiangxia, Changsha, Wuling, Lingling, and Guiyang counties, and I agree with Wen Dai's suggestion."

Liu Qi gave Wen Dai an approving look, and Liu Qi's thoughts coincided with Wen Dai's.In fact, Wen Dai had already thought of a place to go, Xinye in Nanyang County, a small county where Liu Bei lived when he defected to Liu Biao in Jingzhou, its strategic significance is of great importance.

Xinye, known as a precious place in ancient times, is adjacent to Wanluo in the north, Jingxiang in the south, Qinlong in the west, and Ninghu in the east. known as.Liu Qi is familiar with the Three Kingdoms stories of three invitations to Zhuge and the burning of Xinye. If one day he uses troops in Xinye, he will be more prophetic than Zhuge Liang.Why don't you worry about fighting more and more troops?

Liu Qi was not in a hurry to speak out about his idea of ​​going to Xinye, mainly because Liu Biao hadn't found a reasonable excuse to leave Xiangyang and go to Xinye. What he had to do now was to train his troops without disturbing Cai Mao, and to stop them quietly. When the opportunity came, he resolutely led his troops to Xinye.

From Liu Qi's admiring gaze on Wen Dai, Liu Zhong already had a premonition that Liu Qi was ready to leave Xiangyang. This was beyond Liu Zhong's expectation, but since Liu Qi made a decision, Liu Zhong must resolutely implement it.It's not that Liu Zhong doesn't know that if he wants to assist his young master Liu Qi to become king and hegemony, he will end up being an ant under the feet of others and is in danger of being trampled to death at any time without a base or a territory of his own.

Thinking of leaving Xiangyang soon, the steward Liu Zhong was very worried, and said, "My lord, I also agree to leave Xiangyang and be independent. However, after leaving Xiangyang, I am afraid that the son's mansion will be taken over by Cai Mao. The secret of the six doors It will also be leaked, what should we do about this?"

Liu Qi thought about it for a while, then he thought about it, and said: "The housekeeper's concern is exactly what I have in mind. I wonder if the housekeeper still remembers what my father said that this mansion is very murderous and must be demolished?"

Liu Zhongdao: "Remember, my lord said this."

Liu Qi said: "The steward will demolish the son's mansion according to my father's wishes, find skilled craftsmen to hide the six doors underground, and bury the four guards of the Liu family who died in battle in the same place. , outsiders would dare not enter the grave, and Cai Mao never thought that there would be six secret doors under the grave, even if Cai Mao had doubts, he would not dare to enter the grave lightly, after all, digging someone's ancestor's grave will be punished by God."

Rumbling... Liu Qi just said that digging people's ancestral graves was condemned by God, and then he heard a loud thunder, which nearly shattered everyone's eardrums. It was dug from someone's ancestral grave.

The ancients were superstitious, and when there was a thunder for no reason, the housekeeper Liu Zhong's face turned green, and he said tremblingly, "Sir, are you going to build a temple here to suppress evil?"

Liu Qi was very surprised, how could his words alarm the heavens?It is too mysterious to say that there will be thunder in the sky under the scourge of heaven? !

However, Liu Qi is a materialist, so he naturally regards the thunder in the sky as a coincidence, or thinks that the climate of the Three Kingdoms in 190 AD was abnormal. When Cao Cao and Liu Bei talked about heroes by cooking wine with green plums, when Cao Cao said "the world Heroes, only the king and Cao Er", Liu Bei heard that he was shocked and lost his chopsticks, just as the thunder was rumbling, Liu Bei used his timidity and fear of thunder to cover up Cao Cao's doubts, and asked Yuan Shu to escape.

Although he was not condemned by God, it was a fact that he encountered thunder. Liu Qi took it as a warning from heaven and dared not be careless. He had already made up his mind not to dig people's ancestral graves. Offering incense to the Buddha can cover up the secret passage of the six doors very well.In the era when superstition was prevalent in the Three Kingdoms, even if Cai Mao suspected that there was a mechanism under the tomb, no matter how courageous he was, he would definitely not be able to dig up ancestral graves and tear down temples to destroy Buddha.

Thinking about it ten thousand steps back, even if Cai Mao did demolish the temple and dig graves and destroy the six secret passages, when Liu Qi became stronger, he would find an excuse to dig up ancestral graves to kill Cai Mao, and it would be a matter of course.

No need to think any more, Liu Qi was categorical, and ordered: "From tomorrow onwards, the steward will find skilled craftsmen to start demolishing the mansion tombs and building temples. Brother Wen will lead people to acquire a few houses on both sides of the street for people in the mansion to live in. You can put more Don’t forcibly confiscate money to disturb the people. Wen Dai led a team to patrol the [-] meters around the mansion to strictly prevent outsiders from investigating, Chen Wu continued his military training, and after lunch, the housekeeper and I went to report to my father.”
