Chapter 395 Jingzhou Storm (15)

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "The governor of Jingzhou, as I said just now, the governor of Jingzhou and my lord are a family, why should the family deal with the whole family? If the lord agrees to cooperate with my lord, the entire Jingzhou will be pacified, and it will be just around the corner."

"Cooperation? What kind of cooperation method?" Liu Qi asked with interest.

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "The governor of Jingzhou has soldiers, my lord has generals, and the two families are originally uncles and nephews. If Kuai Yue hadn't provoked them, my lord would have felt a little crisis, and would not have taken Nanyang so hastily. It's all Kuai Yue's tricks in the dark. If the governor of Jingzhou is willing to cooperate, please hand over all the military power under the name of the governor of Jingzhou and give it to my lord. My lord will personally command the four counties in southern Jing, and then set Jiangxia to unify Jingzhou. It's a breeze."

Liu Qi smiled and said, "I originally meant that, but Kuai Yue overruled it. I didn't expect Liu Bei to mean that too."

"Hey, Inspector of Jingzhou, my lord's meaning is similar to this, but there are also differences." Zhuge Liang laughed.

"What's the difference?" Liu Qi asked.

"The difference is that once my lord leads troops to conquer the entire Jingzhou, the governor of Jingzhou will still be the governor of Jingzhou, but the governor must obey my lord," Zhuge Liang said.

After Liu Qi heard this, he immediately said: "Mr. Zhuge, are you kidding? I would be so stupid as to make a wedding dress for Liu Bei myself? Borrow troops to quell Jingzhou for him. In the end, he will still be above me. So the whole Jingzhou, no Is it owned by him? Then what am I? What is the difference between doing this and surrendering? I’m not so stupid, am I?”

"No! Doing this will only show the wisdom of the governor of Jingzhou, and will never say that the governor of Jingzhou is clumsy. You know, if the governor of Jingzhou doesn't do this, and insists on going his own way, if he fights openly with my master, he may even lose his life." If so, where is the governor of Jingzhou?" Zhuge Liang retorted.

"Are you threatening me?" Liu Qi looked at Zhuge Liang, a little boy, with a murderous look in his eyes.

"This is not a threat, but a warning. I warn the governor of Jingzhou not to do anything stupid. Otherwise, the governor of Jingzhou will only pay for the bad results caused by the governor of Jingzhou." Zhuge Liang was still talking and laughing, and said without changing his face.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you all?" Liu Qi asked with a sneer, ready to call someone at any time.

Zhuge Liang said: "Hehe, if we were afraid, we wouldn't have come like this. Even if the governor of Jingzhou killed us, it would not help the matter. Now my lord's army is hiding outside the city, and if we don't return, they will immediately Launch the attack. The people of Xiangyang City have not experienced war for a long time. If the flames of war are ignited, I am afraid that their lives will be destroyed. At that time, the foundation established by Liu Jingsheng will be destroyed in a war. These are Jingzhou Is the governor willing to see it?"

After Liu Qi heard this, cold sweat broke out on his back. He didn't expect Liu Bei's action to be so fast.He had doubts, but seeing Xu Shu, Xu Shao, and Zhuge Liang were all calm, confident, and fearless of life and death, he became suspicious.

"The people are not afraid of death, so why are they afraid of death?" Xu Shao stood up and sneered.

After Liu Qi heard this, he frowned. He knew that this was the words in "Lao Tzu". He had read it before, which meant that the people are not afraid of death anymore. How can you scare the people when you threaten death.Although he studied Confucian culture, he occasionally read Taoist classics and Huang-Lao thought books, which is why he is so gentle.

"Hey! You guys go back and let me think about it. In a day's time, it will definitely be war or surrender. I will naturally send someone to notify Liu Bei." Liu Qi stood up, turned and left, and said at the same time, "Send them out of the city, no one can stop them .”

As soon as the words fell, Liu Qi disappeared into the hall.

Afterwards, fifty school swordsmen also quietly exited the hall, and the gatekeeper was responsible for sending Xu Shu, Xu Shao, and Zhuge Liang out of Xiangyang City.

After leaving the city, Xu Shu, Xu Shao, and Zhuge Liang walked side by side on the road outside the city. Zhuge Liang let out a sigh of relief and said, "It was really dangerous just now."

"No, there is no danger. Mr. Xu, in your opinion, will Liu Qi agree to surrender?" Xu Shu asked.

Xu Shao said: "Yes, Liu Qizhai has a kind heart. He is not a person who likes to kill, and he would not like to see his own people being killed at will. Although he is very similar to Liu Biao, his heart is not the same. Judging from his words Judging from his demeanor and the just questioning just now, he already has a plan, but the incident was too sudden, and he needs to be given room to think."

"Military officer, Mr. Xu, when I left the city just now, I noticed that the entire city's soldiers and horses were secretly mobilizing, and the navy outside the city was also sorting out supplies. It seems that Kuai Yue is preparing to go to war this time. We must take this Just report the matter to the lord." Zhuge Liang is very vigilant, a small detail can attract his attention, even Xu Shu and Xu Shao didn't see it, but he was the first to discover the situation.

"Hehe, Kong Ming, I knew your eloquence is good, and you are more alert and good at observation, so I let the lord take you out this time. I believe that after this incident, the number one counselor in Jingzhou is none other than you." Yes!" Xu Shao laughed loudly.

Xu Shu kept nodding at the side, expressing his agreement.

"By the way, Mr. Xu, your family members are all locked in prison, do you want to find a way to rescue them?" Zhuge Liang asked.

"No need, Liu Qi won't kill them for the time being. When Liu Qi surrenders, they will be released from prison. Let's leave here quickly. Once Kuai Yue finds us, the consequences will be disastrous." Xu Shao said.

Zhuge Liang suddenly noticed something, and hurriedly said: "It's too late, we are already surrounded."

As soon as the words fell, a group of cavalry suddenly appeared from all directions, and quickly surrounded Xu Shu, Xu Shao, and Zhuge Liang.

"Hahahaha!"

A hearty laugh sounded, and Kuai Yue appeared in front of the crowd on a tall horse, pointed at Xu Shao and said, "Xu Zijiang, there is really nowhere to find it, and it doesn't take much effort to get here. I went to look for you, but I didn’t expect you to come here to die by yourself. I don’t care what you told the lord when you entered the city, as long as I’m here, you can’t deceive the lord’s mind. Come, give me..."

"My lord has an order. No one is allowed to stop Xu Shao and others. Anyone who disobeys the order will be beheaded!" A person who often followed Liu Qi rode forward to deliver the message, holding the beautiful jade that Liu Qi wore with him.

When Kuai Yue heard this, his face became anxious, and he immediately said: "The general is out, and the military orders are not accepted. Come, take down Xu Shao and the others, and kill them on the spot!"

"Bold, you don't listen to my lord?"

"When I kill these three people, I will apologize in front of my lord." Kuai Yue insisted on killing Xu Shao, Xu Shu, and Zhuge Liang. The surrounding cavalry went to kill Xu Shao and others.

At this critical moment, Zhuge Liang swayed and stood in front of Xu Shu and Xu Shao. He pulled out two daggers from behind with both hands, and quickly threw them at Kuai Yue, one up and one down, parallel to each other. Advance and stab at Kuai Yue's vital points respectively.

Kuai Yue was defenseless, and there was no one in front of him to resist. Seeing two daggers flying towards him, he immediately turned his body to one side, and dodged one of the daggers, but the other stabbed abruptly. , into his abdomen, wearing a robe, his abdomen was immediately stained red with blood.

He had never been injured before, and felt unprecedented pain for the first time. Not only did he yell, but he fell off the horse on one side, and fell heavily to the ground, exhausting all his strength, loudly shouted, "Kill them...kill them..."

"My lord has an order. No one is allowed to hurt Xu Shao and others. Anyone who violates the order will be killed without mercy!" Liu Qi's cronies didn't care much about Kuai Yue, and immediately held Liu Qi's jade pendant and shouted loudly.

The rest of the people didn't dare to move, they looked at each other, thinking that the lord was still big, so they didn't move, but watched quietly.

"You leave as soon as possible, and tell Liu Bei that at noon tomorrow, my lord will be waiting under Xiangyang City, and the transfer of power will take place at that time."

Xu Shao, Xu Shu, and Zhuge Liang were all overjoyed, very happy.

Afterwards, Liu Qi's cronies asked the cavalry to give Xu Shao, Xu Shu, and Zhuge Liang a horse each, and after watching them leave, they ordered Kuai Yue, who was injured and unconscious, to be carried back to the city.

In the golden autumn of October, the Jingxiang area does not show the depression of the north, the leaves are not all withered and yellow, and the weather is a little hot, which makes people like the autumn in the Jingxiang area.

At noon, Liu Bei personally led the army to the city of Xiangyang. Looking at the majestic Xiangyang city that he had entered and exited many times before, he was deeply moved.

"Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, I, Liu Bei, have been in exile for several years. Until today, I have only a place to stand on. I will double the suffering I suffered before. Zhao Lei, you wait for me, I, Liu Bei, I will lead the soldiers of Jingzhou to compete with you for the world, and let you know that my descendants of the Liu family have not reached the point of decline." Liu Bei thought to himself.

Outside the city of Xiangyang, Liu Qi brought all the civil and military officials, holding the letter of surrender, and went to greet Liu Bei when he saw Liu Bei coming.

"Nephew Liu Qi has met his uncle." Liu Qi no longer regarded himself as the governor of Jingzhou, but called him uncle and nephew.

Liu Bei got off his horse, supported Liu Qi himself, and said with emotion: "If it wasn't for Kuai Yue's obstruction, I believe that the four counties in Jingnan should have been pacified in the past half a month. Don't listen to the villain's slander in the future, and almost hurt our uncle. Nephew can't meet."

"My nephew understands. Uncle, this is the household registration of the entire Jingzhou under my nephew's rule, as well as money, food, equipment, soldiers and horses. Now my nephew is handing over to my uncle one by one. I hope my uncle will not refuse." Liu Qi is very sincere. typical.
