Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 617 The eldest son Liu Qi comes to visit

Zhou Yu listened to Zhuge Liang's shouting from behind, snorted coldly and ignored it.

Zhao Yun, who was standing behind Zhuge Liang, was somewhat dissatisfied and said, "Mr. Zhuge, why did you instruct the enemy to attack our Ruxu Port and Wankou Port?"

Gan Ning also looked at Zhuge Liang in confusion.

Zhuge Liang laughed and said, "Zhou Lang has invested all his family property in Sun Ce."

"Sun Ce is clearly on guard against Zhou Lang."

"Now that Sun Ce is dead, even if Zhou Lang reconciles with Sun Quan, he will definitely feel unhappy."

"This time, Sun Quan has gathered an army of 100,000 in Qu'a, vowing to avenge Guangling."

"But he didn't call Zhou Lang."

"Think about it, if you were Zhou Lang, what would you think?"

"Maybe Zhou Lang was thinking about enduring humiliation for the sake of his great cause."

"I'm going to light a fire for him today to make him upset."

"Then, he will definitely not participate in Guangling's revenge war again."

"On the contrary, he will stay in Chaisang and watch the battle of Guangling."

"Therefore, we in Yangzhou can deploy strong troops to deal with Zhou Yu and make plans to take advantage of the opportunity to attack Chaisang."

Looking at Zhao Yun, Zhuge Liang said: "The battle will definitely take place after the spring equinox next year."

"General Zilong can ask the Yangzhou government to gather some civilians around Ruxu Port and Wankou Port to make a big show."

"Although the lord said that we should rest and recuperate, he did not restrict our use."

"As long as we don't delay people's production, everything will be fine."

"At the same time, we should keep an eye on the movements in Guangling and set up a beacon tower."

"If Guangling is really undefendable, we can temporarily withdraw elite troops from Ruxu Port and attack Sun Quan's army from the rear, making them mistakenly believe that our troops stationed in Ruxu Port and Wankou Port are attacking, forcing them to retreat."

"As for Chaisang, given our strong momentum before, they would not dare to come forward even if we temporarily withdraw our troops."

"First of all, we are suspected of being a suspicious force."

"Secondly, Zhou Yu was afraid of falling into a trap and losing Chaisang."

"If we lose Chaisang and Sun Quan's army succeeds in revenge against Guangling, then all the hard work the Zhou family has put into joining Jiangdong will be in vain."

Zhao Yun and Gan Ning looked at each other in bewilderment when they heard what Zhuge Liang said.

They really couldn't figure it out with so many twists and turns.

However, Zhao Yun still nodded and said, "Okay, let's listen to Mr. Zhuge."

When Zhang Sui returned to Yecheng last year, he told him: Although Zhuge Liang is young, he is very wise. Zilong, just listen to him.

After spending more than half a year together, Zhao Yun became convinced of Zhuge Liang's talent.

Although I don't understand Zhuge Liang's actions at this moment, I still should execute them and there shouldn't be any big mistakes.

Zhuge Liang smiled, and then allowed Gan Ning to continue to take him and Zhao Yun to patrol the coastal area of Wankou Port.

Only after confirming that there were no major problems did Gan Ning take Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun back.

After a night's rest, Zhuge Liang said goodbye to Zhao Yun and Gan Ning early the next morning.

Zhuge Liang took two of his personal soldiers and sailed straight to Xiangyang.

At the same time, Zhao Yun asked Gan Ning to be prepared to prevent a sneak attack from Zhou Yu in Chaisang.

He hurried back to Shouchun and discussed with the civil and military officials of Yangzhou about urgently relocating the people in Shu County and Wan County of Lujiang to the vicinity of Wankou Port, helping to cultivate land near Wankou Port while making preparations for a false attack.

And Zhuge Liang also rushed to Xiangyang.

After arriving in Xiangyang, Zhuge Liang immediately went to Huang's house to meet Li Ru.

The two confirmed the changes in Jingzhou today: Liu Cong had indeed found Li Ru this year. On the one hand, he gave Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao a chronic poison, and on the other hand, he recognized Madam Cai as his mother and married Cai Mao's daughter as his wife.

In order to stabilize the Cai family and let the Cai family and the other four powerful families in Jingzhou fight among themselves, Liu Biao also acquiesced to Liu Cong's move.

When Liu Biao and the Cai family took action, the Kuai family found Li Ru through the chief clerk Chen Zhen and expressed their willingness to act as a pawn in Hebei.

Zhuge Liang and Li Ru analyzed the intelligence about the major families provided by Chen Zhen, and sent an urgent military intelligence letter to Zhang Sui in Yecheng, Hebei.

Afterwards, Li Ru continued to stay in Jingzhou and planned to completely break up the five major families in Jingzhou and Liu Biao.

Zhuge Liang returned to his residence and prepared to take his third brother Zhuge Jun away.

Before leaving, Zhuge Liang went to the Kuai family, one of the five great powerful families, and met with his eldest sister.

Not long after Zhuge Liang followed his uncle to Xiangyang, his elder sister Zhuge was betrothed by her uncle to Kuai Qi, a member of the head family of the Kuai family, one of the five great powerful families.

Zhuge Liang talked with his elder sister about some matters in Xiangyang, which indirectly confirmed the information provided by the chief clerk Chen Zhen. After that, Zhuge Liang said goodbye to his elder sister.

Under the escort of his eldest sister, Zhuge Liang was about to leave.

Not long after I followed the guards away from the Kuai family, I saw a figure coming towards me.

The figure glanced at Zhuge Liang, holding the hilt of his sword with his right hand, and said coldly: "Mr. Zhuge, my master invites you!"

The guards will fight.

Zhuge Liang stopped his personal guard and signaled him to relax.

Afterwards, he followed the figure and left with his personal guards.

After many twists and turns, the three of them finally arrived at a private house in Xiangyang.

The figure disappeared directly into the house.

The guards signaled Zhuge Liang to be careful.

Zhuge Liang looked around and waved his hand, saying, "It's okay."

"Wait here, I'll be back soon."

The guard said hurriedly: "It's too dangerous."

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's not dangerous."

"If there really was danger, this journey wouldn't be so easy."

"If something does happen, I will take responsibility for it myself and will never drag you down."

When the guards heard Zhuge Liang say this, they could only step aside.

Only then did Zhuge Liang walk deeper into the house.

When the figure saw Zhuge Liang coming in, he retreated and closed the door.

Zhuge Liang stood alone in the hall of a private residence, looking around.

At this moment, a voice rang out: "Kong Ming, you are back!"

Zhuge Liang looked in the direction of the voice.

He saw a figure waving at him at the stairs on the second floor of the hall.

It’s the eldest son Liu Qi!

The eldest son Liu Qi, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Xu Shu and others studied together in the academy.

When his uncle Zhuge Xuan was alive, the eldest son Liu Qi was quite close to Zhuge Liang.

After his uncle Zhuge Xuan passed away, Zhuge Liang withdrew from the academy to observe mourning. Since then, he rarely met with the eldest son Liu Qi.

At this moment, seeing that it was the eldest son Liu Qi who was looking for him, Zhuge Liang's expression flashed with complexity.

He was already a subject of Zhang Sui, the ruler of Hebei.

Zhang Sui was already planning to take Jingzhou.

Under normal circumstances, the eldest son Liu Qi would be the future lord of Jingzhou.

Now, he came to find himself——

It was obvious that Liu Cong was in contact with the Cai family, which made him at a loss as to what to do.

There are many talented people in Jingzhou.

However, there were very few people willing to assist Liu Biao.

Even fewer were willing to follow the eldest prince Liu Qi.

Although Liu Biao was incompetent, he did have some abilities, but he lacked a foundation and strong military power.

The eldest son, Liu Qi, was a mediocre ruler.

The only advantage is probably kindness.
