Li Qi sent Ren Dong away and returned to his house to see Sun Shangxiang and Ren Xu talking about something.

Seeing Li Qi enter the room, Sun Shangxiang stood up with an "ooh".

Ren Xu grabbed Sun Shangxiang's lapel and said, "Sister, think twice!"

Sun Shangxiang said: "No need. I've already thought about it."

Li Qi asked: "What's wrong with you?"

Sun Shangxiang said: "Why can Mrs. Zhu Rong go to the battlefield, but I can't?"

Li Qidao: "You are my wife, Zhu Rong is not."

Seeing that Sun Shangxiang still looked aggrieved, Li Qi said again: "It's not impossible for you to go into battle and kill the enemy. In a few days, I will move the headquarters to Jiangling, and you will all go with me."

Sun Shangxiang: "Really?"

This way, it's like a woman in the 21st century who heard she was going to travel to Europe.

Li Qidao: "Can I still lie to you? But moving to the government office is not just a matter of time. My husband will go there first, and after the mansion is built and decorated, I will pick you up again."

Sun Shangxiang was naturally happy, and Ren Xu also felt that it was good, so that she no longer had to be separated from her husband.

Li Qi said to Sun Shangxiang: "I heard that Guotai wants to return to Jiangdong?"

Sun Shangxiang nodded: "My mother has been in Yizhou for a long time this time. My brother is urging me to go back. It's really time to go back."

Urgent?

Could it be that Sun Quan had some ideas?

Li Qidao: "That's fine. It's just that it's a long way from Yizhou to Jiangdong, and it's just Zhou Shan escorting Guotai, so I don't feel at ease."

Sun Shangxiang said: "Didn't Zhou Shan escort me when I came here? Is it possible that you still have time to escort me yourself?"

Li Qidao: "You asked Zhou Shan to escort you when you came. That's because your brother has a big heart. I treat Guotai like my biological mother. How can I be so careless? Well, you tell Guotai that when I move the administrative center,

We will accompany the army to Jiangling, and then we can go to Jiangdong."

Sun Shangxiang conveyed Li Qi's intention to Guotai.

Wu Guotai was very touched and said to her heart that her good son-in-law also cares about me too much.

Wu Guotai asked: "What does Zhenghong plan to do to move the administrative center?"

Sun Shangxiang took a bite of the Jiaozhou banana, murmured, and said, "Come on. I'll go there after the renovation of the mansion over there is completed."

Li Qi is a benevolent person. He will never ask craftsmen 724 to repair the mansion, and even 996 is not allowed. Everyone repairs slowly and repairs well. After all, Li Qi does not have no place to live.

I guess Sun Quan is so anxious that he wants to sing "Mother in the Candlelight" right now.

Liu Bei moved his headquarters to Wancheng, and Jiangxia County was only guarded by Guan Yu, Guan Ping, Mi Fang, and Jian Yong. For some reason, Sun Quan wanted to stab Guan Yu in the back.

Sun Quan confronted Cao Cao in Lujiang, and both sides suffered injuries.

Sun Quan did not let Cao Cao take advantage by relying on the Yangtze River's natural security. Of course, it was even less possible for him to take advantage of Cao Cao.

Therefore, for Sun Quan, Liu Bei occupies the eastern part of Jingzhou and is adjacent to the counties in Jiangdong, making it the best choice for him to expand his territory.

Unfortunately, Liu Bei and Li Qi were on good terms, and Li Qi helped Liu Bei out more than once or twice, so Sun Quan did not dare to act arbitrarily.

Zhang Zhao said to Sun Quan: "If you want to attack Liu Bei, you must first break off diplomatic relations between Liu Bei and Li Qi. Someone has a plan to make Liu Bei and Li Qi attack each other."

Sun Quan was overjoyed and asked, "Zi Bu has any clever ideas, please tell me quickly."

Zhang Zhaodao: "I recently heard that Li Qi has plans to move his political base to Jiangling. His intention is simply to go north from Jingzhou and plot the Central Plains. We can make an agreement with Li Qi to attack Cao Cao together. We will send troops from Lujiang to Hefei, and Li Qi will go from Xiangyang.

The sword is pointing at Xudu. Now Liu Bei occupies the front line of Wancheng, which blocks Li Qi's northward passage. Li Qi must borrow a passage from Liu Bei. At this time, we have people spread rumors, saying that Li Qi's borrowing of passage is a false way.

Liu Bei will not dare to borrow Guo's plan. Then the two families will have to fight against each other."

"As long as Li Qi attacks Liu Bei on the eastern front of Nanyang County, we can attack Jiangxia under the banner of alliance. If so, Li Qi will not only not blame us, but also thank us!"

Sun Quan: "Good."

At this time, Li Qi had taken the lead in arriving at Jiangling and ordered Huang Zhong and Fa Zheng to guard Xiangyang. He, Pang Tong, Ma Chao, Gan Ning and others guarded the Jiangling base camp. Zhao Yun replaced Li Yan to guard Changsha.

As soon as he arrived in Jiangling, Li Qi received a letter from Sun Quan, saying that he would join forces to attack Cao Cao.

Li Qi hadn't seen through Sun Quan's plan of two tigers competing for food. He just thought that Sun Quan was addicted to food!

If you can't win on your own, just go home and call someone else.

However, Li Qi's current focus is on stabilizing the situation in Jingzhou and developing the economy and population of Jingzhou, especially the four counties of Jiangling and Jingnan.

He transplanted those successful cases in Yizhou and listened to the impact.

For example, Duijin Bank opened new branches in Jiangling and Lingling; changed the tax collection based on head to household tax; reduced taxes on merchants; opened schools; planted early rice, etc.

Therefore, Li Qi had no intention of fighting now, so he wrote back and declined Sun Quan's offer.

Of course, Li Qi's polite refusal did not mean that he did not want to fight Cao Cao, but he proposed another idea for Sun Quan: to unite with Gongsun Kang of Liaodong.

Li Qi pointed out to Sun Quan several reasons for uniting with Liaodong Gongsun Kang:

First of all, the north has a large population and a more developed economy than the south. Moreover, the area occupied by Cao Cao is larger than that of the three families of Li, Sun, and Liu combined. Therefore, if you strive for development, you will not be able to defeat others. Unless there is new unrest in the north.

At this time, the north had basically been pacified by Cao Cao, but the Qiang and Di people in the northwest and the Gongsun family in Liaodong were still two hidden dangers to Cao Cao.

Li Qi suggested that he be responsible for contacting the Qiang, the leader of the Di tribe, while Sun Quan was responsible for contacting the Gongsun clan of Liaodong, and ambush Cao Cao from all sides.

Secondly, if Jiangdong wants to seek development, it must broaden its shipping routes and strengthen economic exchanges with Liaodong. With Jiangdong's current shipbuilding technology and scale of the shipbuilding industry, this is completely possible.

Jiangdong is in the south and Liaodong is in the north. There is a huge gap between the north and the south, and the types of goods are also very different. It is completely possible to exchange what is needed.

In addition, Jiangdong is located in a water town, and high-quality horses are very scarce, which is a huge flaw for the development of cavalry in Soochow.

If you want to go north to the Central Plains, can you do it without any cavalry?

Therefore, by strengthening in-depth cooperation with Liaodong, we can also introduce high-quality horses from Liaodong and develop cavalry.

Having said so much, in the final analysis, it means that he neither agrees to use troops against Cao Cao now nor opposes joining forces to use troops against Cao Cao in the future.

Li Qi's opinions are not actually his own original ones.

These are things that Sun Quan will do in the future, and Li Qi just mentioned them to him in advance.

So when Sun Quan saw Li Qi's proposal, he couldn't help but feel that Li Qi was like a roundworm in his stomach, and his ideas coincided with his own.

So Sun Quanquan overcame all objections and sent an envoy to Liaodong.
