Invincible special police swept the three kingdoms

Chapter 394 Jingzhou Storm (14)

Seeing Kuai Yue's flustered expression, Liu Qi asked, "Military Master, what happened?"

Kuai Yue hurriedly said: "The [-] troops led by Wei Yan were defeated in Nanyang. In the end, Wei Yan and others all led the army and surrendered to Liu Bei."

After Liu Qi heard this, the brush he was holding stopped suddenly, he raised his head abruptly, frowned, and said, "Liu Bei's acquisition of Wei Yan's soldiers and horses is like a dragon entering an abyss, I'm afraid there is no limit."

When Kuai Yue heard Liu Qi's negative words, he said, "My lord, the most urgent thing is to send troops to attack Nanyang again. I am willing to lead the troops myself!"

Liu Qi put down his brush, shook his head, and said: "Liu Bei has been through the battlefield for a long time, and he has powerful generals such as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei under his tent, and now he has the troops of Wei Yan and others. I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to deal with him." .Our army lacks generals. Without good generals, we will not be able to defeat Liu Bei. As the saying goes, a thousand troops are easy to get, but a single general is hard to find. Looking at the whole of Xiangyang and Jiangling, who can stop Liu Bei?"

Kuai Yue said: "My lord, don't be negative. I'll give you two more, maybe they can go with me to stop Liu Bei. These two are from Zhijiang, Nanjun, and they are brothers. They are young and energetic. At that time, he had not been reused, his brother Huo Du and his younger brother Huo Jun both had courage and courage..."

Liu Qi said: "Okay, let's send troops to attack Nanyang again. This time, we must use all our strength. You will personally lead the troops. Huo Du and Huo Jun will be the lieutenants. Go forward to resist Liu Bei's offensive, and don't let them enter Xiangyang."

Kuai Yue said: "There are still 3 horses in Xiangyang. If all of them are taken away, the safety of the lord..."

"Well, then you can take 8000 people there, and leave 2000 people to guard the city, and advance by land and water." Liu Qi said.

"promise!"

After the discussion, Kuai Yue dispatched Huo Du and Huo Jun to Nanjun. On the other hand, he mobilized [-] sailors and [-] horse infantry. Chen Bing was on the border of Xiangyang.

In addition, Kuai Yue personally put all the family members of Wei Yan and Xu Shao into death row, and waited until Liu Bei was defeated before beheading.The family members of Han Song, Pei Qian, Liu Xian, and Fu Xun were all out of Xiangyang and survived.

At the same time, Xu Shao had already arrived in Xiangyang with Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang. When the news of Wei Yan's defeat reached Xiangyang, they also entered the city. Following Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang, they went straight to Jingzhou Governor's Mansion.

Liu Qi was fidgeting in Jingzhou Governor's Mansion, thinking that Liu Bei was too invincible and he was no match at all.

"Master Hou, Xu Shao asks to see you!"

"Who? Who did you just mention?" Liu Qi asked in surprise.

"Xu Shao, Xu Zijiang from Runan."

Liu Qi said: "Didn't he surrender to Liu Bei? Who else came with him?"

"Two young youngsters whose names I don't know."

"Order fifty school swordsmen to lie in ambush in the hall, let all three of them enter the hall, and let the school swordsmen wait for my orders at any time." Liu Qi felt a little unusual.

Xu Shao brought Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang into the Governor's Mansion of Jingzhou together, and was taken to the hall by the gatekeeper.

Before entering the hall, Zhuge Liang's vigilance first noticed the abnormality. He vaguely felt many pairs of eyes silently watching them from a distance.

Zhuge Liang took two quick steps forward, leaned into Xu Shao's ear and said, "There is an ambush in the hall."

Xu Shao remained calm and whispered: "Be safe and don't be impatient."

Xu Shu also sensed something was wrong, and seeing Zhuge Liang and Xu Shao talking in a low voice, he already had the answer in his heart, and he thought in his heart: "Perhaps, Xu Zijiang asked Zhuge Liang to follow because he liked Zhuge Liang. Are you alert? Xu Shao is indeed the person who has presided over many Yuedan reviews, but he was able to detect Zhuge Liang's extraordinary ability just by meeting Zhuge Liang for the first time. This kind of vision is beyond my comparison."

The three entered the hall together, and the servants in the hall offered tea to the three of them, and the three sat in the hall, quietly waiting for Liu Qi to appear.

The atmosphere in the hall seemed extremely tense. After Zhuge Liang noticed that someone was ambushing around the hall, his nerves were tense. If he came here this time, if he could not complete the task, then he would only have a dead end.

Xu Shao was sitting beside Zhuge Liang. Seeing Zhuge Liang's nervous expression, he stretched out his hand, put it on Zhuge Liang's hand, patted it lightly, and said, "Don't be nervous, everything is within my expectations. Just keep a calm mind.”

After hearing this, Zhuge Liang nodded heavily and said, "I see."

The three of them sat there waiting. Seeing that Xu Shao and Xu Shu were acting as if nothing had happened, Zhuge Liang adjusted his mentality, took a few deep breaths, and gradually calmed down.

Time passed by, Liu Qi refused to show up for a long time, the hall was extremely quiet, and the nerves of each of the school swordsmen lying around the hall were tense, and the palms of the hands holding the handle of the sword were covered with sweat , Some even have beads of sweat on their foreheads.

Liu Qi had been hiding in the wall behind the hall. He watched the situation in the hall through a gap, and he couldn't help feeling very curious when he saw Xu Shao, Xu Shu, and Zhuge Liang sitting there quietly as if nothing had happened.

"There is no trace of murderous intent on the faces of these three people. They should not come to kill me, but the calmness of these three people makes me very curious. I don't know if they really didn't realize that there was an ambush in the hall, or because they Don't you care about everyone?"

Unable to understand why, Liu Qi didn't wait any longer, walked straight out of the partition wall, and came to the hall after a while.

"I kept you three waiting for a long time." Accompanied by two guards, Liu Qi came to the hall together, sat down on his buttocks, and said loudly.

"Xu Shao has met the Inspector of Jingzhou." Xu Shao stood up first and cupped his hands.

Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang also stood up afterward, and the self-reported family visited Liu Qi, but they all thought to themselves: "I didn't expect Liu Qi, the governor of Jingzhou, to be so young and handsome..."

Liu Qi accepted the three people's salutations, and said: "You three, please sit down."

After Xu Shao, Xu Shu, and Zhuge Liang sat down again, they only heard Liu Qi say: "Hasn't Mr. Xu already surrendered to Liu Beijun? And Mr. Xu Shu and this child are also members of Liu Beijun. I don't know why. The three of you will visit me suddenly? You know, Liu Bei and I are now in a hostile relationship, and I can kill my enemy at any time."

Xu Shao said: "If my life is exchanged for the peace and contentment of millions of people in Jingxiang, I think I, Xu Shao, deserve to die. Lord Hou is not a person who likes to kill, let alone do anything horrific, so I dare to come here."

After hearing this, Liu Qi asked, "What is Mr. Xu doing here?"

"For the sake of Lord Hou's life and the safety of millions of people in Jingxiang, I'm here to persuade you to surrender." Xu Shao said unabashedly.

Liu Qi was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect Xu Shao to speak so bluntly.He sneered, and asked, "How can Liu Bei be able to persuade me to surrender with only [-] to [-] troops?"

"I know this sounds a little ridiculous, but I would like to ask the governor of Jingzhou to listen to me. After I finish speaking, I am willing to accept the governor of Jingzhou's arbitrary punishment." Xu Shao said.

Liu Qi raised his hand and said, "Please tell me."

Xu Shaodao: "As the saying goes, it is easy to get a thousand troops, but it is hard to find a general. Now Jingzhou has entered a state of fragmentation. Although the Marquis inherited the Marquis position, it is not enough to deter the whole prefecture. There are no generals who can lead troops to fight, and there are in time, but they are only temporarily selected. Such people and soldiers are not familiar with each other, and they cannot fight together. When fighting, it is easy to fall into chaos..."

"It's said that Xu Zi will never step out of the gate, but he knows so clearly about the world, it's incredible..." Liu Qi thought to himself when he heard Xu Shao's words.

"Nowadays, scholars in Jingzhou are looking forward to a hero. Liu Bei has fought in the battlefield for many years, and he has experienced many hardships. He has been depressed all the time. Although he has good generals and counselors under his tent, they are not enough to occupy a city in troubled times. Wouldn't it make people Sad. Fortunately, he came to Jingzhou, and now Jingzhou is splitting up. May I ask the governor of Jingzhou, do you have Liu Bei's military strategy?" Xu Shao asked.

Liu Qi shook his head and said, "I'm not as good as Liu Bei."

"So, if you dare to ask the governor of Jingzhou, commanding troops and horses, going into battle to kill the enemy, how is it compared to Liu Bei?" Xu Shao continued to ask.

"I'm not as good as Liu Bei." Liu Qi said helplessly.

Xu Shao said: "Send troops and generals, appoint virtuous people, and govern the region. Is the governor of Jingzhou several times stronger than Liu Bei?"

Liu Qi sighed and said, "I'm even worse than him."

Xu Shaodao: "If you want to pacify Jingzhou and win the world, you must have both civil and military skills. Liu Bei is brave enough to endure what ordinary people can't bear. These people are the heroes of the world. Although Liu Bei has few soldiers now, But if Lord Hou insists on going to war with Liu Bei, I am afraid that Liu Bei will have more and more soldiers. Let alone the four counties in Jingnan and Jiangxia, Lord Hou will be wiped out by Liu Bei in a short time. Jingzhou, It is not the Jingzhou of Lord Hou, but the Jingzhou of millions of people, and Liu Bei is what the people want. Why doesn’t Lord Hou follow the people’s will, obey the law of heaven, open the city gate, and welcome Liu Bei to enter Xiangyang City to preside over the state affairs?"

After listening to Xu Shao's words, Liu Qi felt that he was very useless, almost useless except for dancing and writing, but he was not reconciled to letting him hand over to Liu Bei.But if he wants to start a fight, he will definitely not be able to beat Liu Bei. He has soldiers but no generals, and he doesn't know how to lead troops. How should he fight?
Seeing that Liu Qi was moved, Zhuge Liang stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry about the governor of Jingzhou, my lord and the governor of Jingzhou are uncles and nephews, even if it is a family, a family does not talk about each other. This Jingzhou is the governor of Jingzhou." If my father's life-long painstaking efforts were ruined in the hands of the governor of Jingzhou, I think the governor of Jingzhou would also be unwilling. However, the situation is compelling, and extraordinary measures cannot be taken. Now Zhao Lei, the governor of Yangzhou, has unified Yangzhou and formed an alliance with Cao Cao. I believe it will not be long Jingzhou will be attacked later! The governor of Yanzhou, Cao Cao, and the governor of Jizhou, Yuan Shao, are also in a stalemate. In the northwest, Xiliang is too thin and Ma Teng is not idle. Dong Zhuo, who intends to control the imperial court, and Sun Jian of the four counties in the south of Jingzhou are also eyeing Nanjun, have you ever heard of these military governors of Jingzhou?"

"Of course I have heard that there are only a few lords left in the world. Going upstream along the Han River, Hanzhong and Jingzhou extend in all directions, and the news is transmitted very quickly. If I don't even know these news, then Isn’t it for nothing that I am the governor of Jingzhou?”

Zhuge Liang said: "Well, since the governor of Jingzhou knows, then the governor of Jingzhou should know that the princes of all parties are now going all out, trying to capture as much territory as their own. Now the world is in chaos, except for Jiaozhou. In a state of peace, the rest of the wars are breaking out. However, unlike other princes, the governor of Jingzhou is fighting within Jingzhou, while the rest of the princes are expanding abroad. If the governor of Jingzhou can't visit Jingzhou when the other princes To pacify the entire Jingzhou, I'm afraid it will bring big troubles to Jingzhou."

"Of course I know this, but... alas." Liu Qi couldn't tell.

"I understand the feelings of the governor of Jingzhou, so I came here with Mr. Xu to offer a clever plan to the governor of Jingzhou. Within a month or so, the entire territory of Jingzhou can be occupied." Xu Shu said.

Liu Qi asked suspiciously: "I am in a hostile relationship with Liu Bei, why do you want to advise me?"
