Seeing that Liu Qi had a plan in mind, Liu Zhong was very relieved. He subconsciously touched the top-secret last will of his cousin on his chest, thinking that after the First World War in Xinye, he should hand it over to his son Liu Qi. Growing up, assertive, capable, and courageous, one day the roc will spread its wings and soar thousands of miles, and the cousins ​​under the nine springs will also be gratified.

Liu Qi saw the housekeeper Liu Zhong stroking his chest again, and guessed that there must be something very valuable hidden on the housekeeper's chest. It was impossible to guess what was hidden, and it was inconvenient for Liu Qi to ask.

Watching Huang Zhong's military training, Liu Qi praised him a few times, and asked his master Huang Zhong to go to the valley to check the cliffs. Ever since he climbed the [-]-meter cliff on the Shu Road, Liu Qi had an idea, and he had to open a valley The channel leading to the outside world can move troops inside and outside Xiangyang City without anyone noticing, so that Cai Mao can easily control Xiangyang during the mutiny and obtain the seat of the Lord of Jingzhou.

A group of people walked towards the cliff, but saw the roar of the waterfall, and the surrounding cliffs surrounded the valley, and there was no way to go. Liu Qi asked Liu Zhong for the specific direction of the road above the cliff, and asked Liu Zhong to prepare two roads that were long enough to reach the top of the cliff. Hemp rope, Liu Qi and Chen Wu each tied a rope around their waists. Chen Wu held a big hammer and a big basket full of copper nails on his back, and they came to the cliff.

Everyone looked at the cliff, not to mention people going up to open a path, even birds can't fly through it, Liu Qi is really whimsical.

Both Liu Zhong and Huang Zhong advised that the troops should send troops to Xinye at [-]:[-] noon, and that the matter of opening the cliff road should be discussed in the long run, but Liu Qi had already made up his mind and said that he could not wait any longer. Extremely sensitive, Cai Hao is likely to be alone in the near future, Liu Qi must take precautions in advance, and it is of great significance to break through the valleys and cliffs.

Naturally, the generals will not object to what Liu Qi decides. Anyway, with hemp rope tied around his waist, there is no need to worry about Liu Qi and Chen Wu falling off the cliff. Chen Wen was not very worried after climbing the [-]-meter cliff on the Shu Road.

The cliffs on all sides seem to protrude to the top, but it is not a full-page smooth surface when you look up close. The rock crevices are like spider webs. If there are rock crevices, you can insert copper nails, and then tie ropes on the copper nails, and you can climb on the rock. Create a climbing path on the wall.

Liu Qi has the Qiankun sword that cuts iron like mud. In Liu Qi's eyes, there are rock cracks everywhere. According to the method of opening a passage on the [-]-meter cliff of the Shu Road, since the copper nails are inserted first, there is no need to tie the knots, and the knots are left to the housekeeper. Liu Zhong arranged for someone to do it again, and he was familiar with the road, and quickly inserted the copper nails into the top of the wall. The copper nails in Chen Wu's basket happened to be similar.

When you reach the top of the wall, you can see towering ancient trees, crowing monkeys and tigers screaming. It seems like a virgin forest with no roads. When you look up, you can see a little sunlight through the thick leaves.

Liu Qi didn't have time to find the way, but he could feel that he could find the way to Xiangyang after walking out of this virgin forest.

Chen Wu waved his sore arm, took a deep breath, and said relaxedly: "My lord, it's the primeval forest again, will Big Brother Ape be king here?"

It is a good way to wake up the dreamer with one word. The huge ape king took thousands of monkeys from Xinye to train his troops. A good place for the ape king.

"It's possible that Xinye is a land of plains, and there is no place for heroes of the ape king." Liu Qi said meaningfully.

Chen Wu sighed: "Although the ape king is an animal, he is more affectionate than Cai Mao's vicious generation."

Liu Qi said: "A tiger's poison doesn't eat its offspring. After all, I'm also Cai Zhonglang's nephew. He shouldn't have treated me like that."

Chen Wu clenched his fist joints and said angrily: "My lord, General Zilong's [-] Qilin army has sneaked into Xiangyang. Why don't you take advantage of the [-] soldiers in your hand and make an attack tonight, and first kill Cai Mao."

Liu Qi waved his hand and said, "No, the time has not come, we will talk about it later."

Chen Wu is brave and has brains. Even if he faces thousands of troops alone, he has never been afraid. He and Liu Qi can be regarded as brothers in need through life and death.

Knowing Chen Wu's willfulness, Liu Qi said that Sun Jian came to invade Jingzhou at this time, let alone kill Cai Mao, not to mention that Liu Biao was in power, Liu Qi didn't want to be criticized as an unworthy son who took his father's position.

"General Wu, tie the rope to the big tree, tie the dead buckle, and leave the wayfinding to the housekeeper, let's go down." Liu Qi and Chen Wu untied the hemp rope around their waists, found a thick banyan tree that they could hug, and tied the rope. The buckle was fastened, and he slipped the hemp rope smoothly down to the valley.

Liu Qi and Chen Wu came to the valley, everyone cheered.

Chen Wen took two steps forward, pointed at a crooked copper nail on the rock crevice, and congratulated: "My lord is so mighty, the cliffs are endless, and the ladder is built by my lord. When the moat is opened, it will surely be a blue sky. As the Supreme Being, we are all honored.”

Huang Zhong was also full of joy, Chen Wen's words couldn't be more obvious, after the first battle in Xinye, his apprentice Liu Qi might take the initiative to attack in Xiangyang, then Huang Zhong and Huang Xu and his son will feel proud.

Liu Qi didn't want to be too big for the time being, so he said modestly: "Second brother, you are the supreme one, don't talk about this in the future, it is my greatest blessing, Liu Qi, to be able to share weal and woe with all the soldiers and brothers." Facing Liu Zhong, he said : "There is a primeval forest on the cliff, there must be a road leading to the outside of the city. After I returned to Xinye, I troubled the housekeeper to tie ropes on the copper nails on the cliff, and stepped out of the forest."

Liu Zhongdao: "That's natural."

Liu Qi said: "After stepping on the road, you will let me know in time."

Liu Zhongdao: "Obey."

"Let's go, let's eat." After Liu Qi finished speaking, he led everyone to the base camp in the valley, where meals for Liu Qi and others had already been prepared in the kitchen.

There was not much time for lunch, but the wine was still drunk. After Liu Qi told Liu Zhong some things, he and Chen Wen, Chen Wu, Chen Chun, Chen Xia, Chen Qiu, Chen Dong and ten bronze armored guards walked from the six gates. After arriving at the temple and bidding farewell to my sister-in-law Liu Shi, Liu Qi and his party of 17 rushed to the military camp outside the Governor's Mansion.

At [-]:[-] noon, among the [-] soldiers and horses, there were [-] cavalry and [-] infantry. They had already gathered in the school grounds. Governor Liu Biao took Cai Mao and other subordinates to see Liu Qi off in person.

Liu Biao pointed to the two thousand soldiers and horses, stepped forward, took Liu Qi's hand, shook it vigorously, sighed, with a worried face: "Qi'er, the two thousand soldiers and horses have been assembled, and we have fifty A horse-drawn carriage, food and grass, is all you can do as a father, and Xinye depends entirely on you."

As soon as Liu Qi heard it, he understood what Liu Biao meant. There was no hope of [-] reinforcements. Liu Qi could only rely on the [-] soldiers gathered from various generals to resist Sun Jian's [-] elite soldiers.

At this time, Liu Qi didn't know how to bear. He held Liu Biao's hand and said in a low voice, "Father, don't worry, the child will swear to keep Xinye to the death."

Liu Biao was so moved that he almost shed tears: "Qi'er, I've wronged you."

Liu Qi looked at the slightly aged Liu Biao, and thought to himself, "As the saying goes, if father and son fight in battle, if I don't go to hell at this time, who will go to hell?"

Liu Qi pulled out his hand and told Liu Biao affectionately: "Father, take care." Then he jumped on the big red horse led by Chen Chun beside him, and cupped his fists at Liu Biao's generals: "Generals, the green mountains are not old, and the green waters are long. Flow, there will be a period later."

Liu Qi straightened the horse, and said to Chen Wen in a low voice: "Second brother, take over the two thousand troops and set off." With a sound of driving, he raised his whip and patted the horse, without looking back outside the city gate.

The Kuai brothers, Kuai Peng and Kuai Yue, looked at them, what a bold young master, he dared to resist [-] soldiers with [-] soldiers, and use one to block ten, what kind of courage is this? !

Cai Mao, however, heard the implication of Liu Qi's words. What do you mean by green mountains that never grow old and green waters that flow forever?What does there will be a period later mean?The smart young master must have guessed that there would be no backup in Xiangyang. The so-called dispatch of [-] soldiers and horses to aid Xinye was nothing more than drawing cakes. With Liu Biao's current status, he really couldn't mobilize troops from all walks of life in Xiangyang. This young master Is it thinking that Xinye will return to Xiangyang for revenge if he does not die in battle? !

"Brother Wu has broken the empress." Chen Wenchao ordered Chen Wu, he swung his sword forward, and shouted: "All officers and soldiers, send troops to Xinye, let's go!"

Two thousand soldiers and fifty grain and grass carriages raised smoke and dust and marched rapidly towards Xinye. A hundred Qilin troops dressed up by ordinary people led by Zhao Yun lay in Xiangyang for two days without any unexpected incidents. External response.

Liu Qi led two thousand troops from Xiangyang and hurried to Xinye.

In Xinye City, Jiang Wan had also received the news that Sun Jian had violated Jingzhou, and he had already ordered [-] soldiers to stand ready for battle. He sent additional sentries at the border with a radius of [-] li around Xinye to report the whereabouts of Sun Jian's [-] soldiers in time.

Arriving in Xinye, Liu Qi couldn't wait to rest, and called Jiang Wan, Zhao Yun, Deng Zhi, Wu Wei and other important figures in the account to hold an emergency military meeting to discuss matters of meeting the enemy.

Liu Qi briefed the situation. Yuan Shu had gathered 20 soldiers and sent Sun Jian to take Jingzhou. Xinye was a must-pass and an important strategic location. The governor Liu Biao had ordered Liu Qi to send [-] people from Xinye to meet the enemy. Without backup, if you win, you will die. Sun Jian must pass through Xinye within seven days, and the situation is urgent.

Everyone in the tent came up with ideas and discussed how to meet the enemy, and finally discussed three strategies for Liu Qi to decide on.

One strategy is that Jiang Wan, Deng Zhi, Li Da, and Wen Dai advocated immediately contacting General Wenpin, the prefect of Nanyang County, for help, and asked Wenpin to send a team of 5000 when he tried his best to resist Sun Jian with [-] troops from Xinye. Sun Jian's elite raided and won in one fell swoop.

The second strategy is that Chen Wen, Chen Wu, Huang Xu, and Wuwei advocated pulling the soldiers out of the border of Xinye to fight head-on with Sun Jian directly.

The third strategy is that Zhao Yun advocated releasing Sun Jian into Xinye, and confronting Sun Jian outside the city, fighting formally, killing generals, and the king of thieves and kings won with martial arts.

The three strategies are all main battles, each with its own focus, but they are all for the same goal, which is to repel Sun Jian and ensure that Xinye is safe. Liu Qi is considering whether there is a fourth possibility. In the first battle of Xinye, if Using Sun Jianhuo for my own use will greatly change the historical process of Liu Qi's rebirth in the Three Kingdoms? !
