Chapter 381 Jingzhou Storm (1)

In the hazy sky, black clouds piled up into a whole piece, like a thick piece of iron, gradually sinking to the ground, as if they had already covered Xiangyang City, making it suffocating.The entire city of Xiangyang was covered in silver, and the soldiers and civilians in the city were immersed in a tragic sadness, and the sound of mourning was endless. From Jingzhou governor's mansion to the city gate, the people in Xiangyang city were dressed in linen and filial piety. On both sides of the broad street, tears were shed.

"rise"

In front of the gate of Jingzhou Governor's Mansion, with a loud shout, Liu Qi held Liu Biao's spirit seat, stood up from the ground where he was kneeling, with a sad face, and walked forward step by step with heavy steps. Behind him was a huge coffin. Dozens of strong men were in charge of carrying the coffin, and followed behind Liu Qi, moving forward slowly.

Behind them are the civil and military officials of all levels in Jingzhou. Everyone has a sad face, and they follow the funeral procession forward...

The governor of Jingzhou, Liu Biao, was heading west with a crane. This sudden news shocked Jingzhou.In the huge coffin, there are Liu Biao's clothes in full bloom, which is called the Clothes Tomb.

As Liu Biao's eldest son, Liu Qi quickly took control of the situation in Xiangyang City with the full support of Jingzhou Governor Kuai Yue.However, what Liu Qi had to face was not only the situation in Jingzhou, but also the person named Liu Bei.

Liu Qi's stepmother Cai was assassinated by Zhang Fei and Guan Yu because of his elder brother Cai Mao and others. Cai Zhong and Cai He were forced to flee to Yangzhou by Liu Bei's army. His son Liu Cong was still a baby, unable to control the situation in Xiangyang City at all, so he could only compromise with Liu Qi, and supported Liu Qi to take over the governorship of Jingzhou with the power of the Cai family. Although he was unwilling, he had no choice but to do so.The news of Liu Biao's death reached Jingzhou in mid-June, and it immediately caused an uproar. The soldiers in Xiangyang and Jiangling who were directly under Liu Biao's control were restless. Bo Kuaiyue tried his best to turn the tide, and promoted Liu Qi to the position of governor of Jingzhou, and then used his connections to contact civil and military at all levels, so as not to cause turmoil in Xiangyang and Jiangling.

However, in contrast, the rest of the counties experienced varying degrees of turmoil. Jingzhou was not very stable. Once Liu Biao died, the prefects of the other counties were ready to move. Ambitious people immediately recruited troops and prepared to annex the entire Jingzhou by force. As for the entire Jingzhou, it is showing a situation of separatist regimes.

Because of this, it took almost a week after Liu Biao died before Liu Qi was free to mourn for his father and make a tomb...

The funeral procession soon arrived outside the city, and Liu Qi led civil and military officials into the cemetery where Liu Biao was buried under the arrangement of Kuai Yue.

Just as he was about to be buried, he saw several fast horses galloping from the northeast direction. There were three people in a row. The face in the middle was as white as jade, the face on the left was as black as charcoal, and the face on the right was as heavy as jujube. , are all dressed in filial piety, galloping with sadness on their faces, they are the three brothers Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei.

When Kuai Yue saw Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei approaching, he immediately frowned, walked to Liu Qi's side in a hurry, and said, "My lord, Liu Bei is here."

Liu Qi didn't have any expression on his face, watching his father's coffin being buried bit by bit, his heart felt like a knife...

He is only 15 years old. He has been a flower growing in a greenhouse since he was a child. His face is very similar to Liu Biao. Every time Liu Biao sees Liu Qi, it is like seeing himself when he was a child. He loves Liu Qi very much. Poems and books, but he was not allowed to wield guns and swords, so his body appeared very weak.Seeing that Liu Qi didn't answer, Kuai Yue said, "My lord, now you are the governor of Jingzhou and the lord of Jingzhou. You are admired by all people, and you can no longer call yourself a son. Liu Bei must have a plan when he comes here. According to the scouts, According to reports, Liu Bei has recruited many recruits in Xinye, Jiangxia, Longzhong, and Huyang, and has been training in secret. Today, he came to pay homage to the old lord, and he must have come to spy on him. Moreover, the old lord was also led by Liu Bei when he was there. The nose went away, and Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others were assassinated by Zhang Fei and Guan Yu later, which shows Liu Bei's ambition. Although we have stood firm in the chaos in Jingzhou this time, Liu Bei is still our enemy. Now the lord You should be strong, and don't let Liu Bei take advantage of him. This person is honest on the outside, but treacherous on the inside, so we must guard against him."

"Master, I once met Uncle Xuande. He is not like the kind of person you mentioned. He cares about the common people in the world and takes it as his duty to help the Han family. Even my father was deeply moved by him when he was alive. It is reasonable for Uncle Xuande to come to pay homage to his father, how could the master speak of him like that? Cai Hao and Zhang Yun died in the battle with Sun Jian, so how could they have anything to do with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei." Liu Qi is kind-hearted and kind-hearted, a bit of Liu Jingsheng's inheritance, but a little bit of the nobility that Liu Biao had in his lifetime.

Kuai Yue said: "My lord, you must not be confused by Liu Bei's appearance. This person has worked under Cao Cao and Zhao Lei, and in the end he was hunted down by Zhao Lei and others because of the name of betrayal. People like this have to be guarded against."

Liu Qi seemed a little impatient, and said casually, "Okay, I know what to do."

Kuai Yue shook his head and thought to himself: "My lord is too young and hasn't had much experience yet. He always has the kindness of a child. I must let my lord change this bad habit, otherwise Jingzhou will be in trouble. Master. The four counties in Jingnan have been separated from the rule of Jingzhou, captured by Sun Jian, and Jiangxia and other areas have been occupied by Liu Bei. Now Jingzhou has been divided into three forces. In addition, Zhao Lei has unified Yangzhou, and he is also eyeing Jingzhou. Although the rest of the counties in Jingzhou have not yet shown the situation of secession, it will be a matter of time, I must try to keep Jingzhou and my lord, and I must not let outsiders covet this place."

Not long after, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei got off their horses, and in front of many people, they went straight to Liu Qi and said in unison: "See Lord Inspector."

Liu Qi was younger than Liu Bei, so naturally he didn't put on any big airs, and immediately said to Liu Bei, "Uncle Xuande, excuse me."

Liu Bei bowed his hands to Liu Qi again, and said, "I just got the news of Brother Jing Sheng's death yesterday, and I hurried here from Xinye early this morning, I don't think it's too late...Brother Jing Sheng has already driven to the west. I also ask Mr. Governor, to express his condolences."

In fact, Liu Biao passed away a week ago, but the turmoil in Jingzhou prevented Liu Qi from mourning.In other words, if you want to say that you are sad, Liu Qi has already cried out his tears. At this time, he can't cry even if he wants to cry, but there is still a trace of melancholy on his face. He sighed heavily and said: "I often think of The appearance of my father before he was alive, I think of my father's earnest teaching to me... But, I didn't expect my father to leave tomorrow morning, I... what should I do in the future..."

"My lord has already inherited the old lord's position as Marquis, and has submitted to the imperial court to take over the position of governor of Jingzhou. In the future, my lord will definitely do my best to fulfill the old lord's last wish that I couldn't fulfill during my lifetime. One day, I will The Son of Heaven welcomes back the old capital and revives the Han Dynasty. General Liu Xuande is also a clan member of the Han Dynasty, so he should do his best to assist my lord. By the way, Jingzhou is in chaos now, what is General Liu's plan now?" Kuai Yue was afraid Liu Qi said the wrong thing and hastily interjected.

Seeing the sad look on Liu Qi's face, and seeing Kuai Yue's gloomy face, which did not give him a good look, Liu Bei roughly understood, and thought: "Kuai Yue's support for Liu Qi as the governor of Jingzhou is nothing more than not wanting Jingzhou to fall into others. However, Liu Qi has ascended to the high position, but with his sickly appearance, he may not be able to support the chaotic situation in Jingzhou... Liu Biao is dead, Jingzhou is in panic, the people yearn for peace, and talented people are rushing Thinking of the Lord, if I don't take advantage of this time, I will be trapped forever if I seize Jingzhou... What's more, I have already controlled Liu Jingsheng. I didn't expect that Kuai Yue would be able to stabilize the situation and win Nanjun and Xiangyang for Liu Qi, it seems that now it is impossible for Liu Qi to obey me like Liu Biao."

Thinking of this, Liu Bei sighed heavily, and said, "Oh, what can I plan, Xinye, Jiangxia and other small counties are also the temporary shelters lent to me by brother Jingsheng, now that brother Jingsheng has returned, I temporarily Haven't figured out where to go yet."

"Oh, I heard that Jiaozhou Shepherd Xie is recruiting talents. With the great talents of General Liu and the bravery of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, if they go to Jiaozhou, they will definitely be reused by Shi Xie. In addition, I can also write a letter, After seeing it, Shi Xie will definitely treat General Liu kindly, but I don't know if General Liu is willing to go to Jiaozhou to show his grand plans?" Kuai Yue tentatively said...

"It turns out that Kuai Yue wanted to drive me out..." Liu Bei thought to himself.

"Thanks to the care of the master, if I can really get a place to live, I will be very grateful." Liu Bei said against his will.

Kuai Yue glanced at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei behind Liu Bei, saw that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had a trace of displeasure on their faces, and thought to himself: "Liu Bei is ambitious, so he must not be a person who has lived under others for a long time. It will become a future trouble. Although it can be used for a while, it cannot be used for a lifetime. Guan Yu once fought Zhao Zilong at Sishui Pass at night, Zhang Fei was also on par with Guan Yu, and both of them are Liu Bei's sworn brothers. If Jingzhou wants to To be stable, these three people must be removed first... However, my lord has a good impression of Liu Bei, if I use the ultimate move, I am afraid that my lord will not follow me, so I have no choice but to drive him out of Jingzhou."

"Master, my uncle is an outstanding person in the world, and his younger brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are enemies of ten thousand people. At this time, Jingzhou is in chaos, and it is time to employ people. How can the master drive people out?" What about it?" Liu Qi said suddenly, not understanding Kuai Yue's good intentions.
