After Liu Qi finished speaking, Liu Biao looked at him without any objection, and then asked Kuai Liang: "What do Zirou thinks?"

"What the eldest son said is very true." Kuai Liang first affirmed Liu Qi's inference, which shocked Liu Qi's decay, and then looked gratefully at him. Kuai Liang nodded and understood, and then said, "Justice Cao Cao was a traitor in troubled times, and his intention to dominate was already obvious. This time, the reason why he pretended to support his lord as the orthodox throne was simply to show his attitude to his lord, that is, he had no intention of being an enemy of our Jingzhou and did not want to rebel against his lord. However, no matter what the result was, it could not stop him from ascending the throne and becoming emperor. I think a new emperor would appear in the world soon, and it should be Cao Cao Cao Mengde of Jizhou."

Before Kuai Liang finished speaking, Cai Mao shouted impatiently: "There are only three princes in the past. Not only Cao Cao wants to be emperors. Li Li of Xiliang may have already ascended the throne and became emperor. Since this is the case, the lord is a royal nobleman, the blood of Emperor Gaozu, and the orthodox lineage is the orthodox lineage. At this time when there is no master in the world, the lord should be willing to inherit the ancestral property, inherit the orthodox lineage of the Han Dynasty, ascend to the throne and become emperor, and rule the world!"

Cai Mao's words expressed the thoughts of everyone in the hall. Before this, they had persuaded them to go in many ways, but Liu Biao ignored them, did not speak out in a positive way, and did not miss the slightest statement. So the support matter was mentioned again and again, and it was delayed until now.

"I respectfully ask my lord to inherit the throne and rule the world!"

Cai Mao carefully observed Liu Biao's expression while talking, but saw that there was no trace of displeasure on Liu Biao's face. Seeing this, Cai Mao immediately understood and walked to the center of the lobby to bow. Cai Mao stood up and Zhang Yun immediately followed. The Kuai brothers, Huang Zu, Liu Pan and others were not mediocre people, and they followed closely and advised them to advance.

The instant change made Liu Qi, who was immersed in the trouble of gains and losses, and was stunned and stared at everyone's words to persuade Liu Biao to succeed him. Only Liu Qi sat in his original position in a daze, motionless. At this moment, Liu Qi was in a daze and was still figuring out what Kuai Liang, Cai Mao and others wanted to do. He was discussing Shu Jian a moment ago, but why did he proclaim himself emperor at the same time? This became too fast, what was the situation?

Liu Qi was stunned and did not notice at all. Just when he was staring at Kuai Liang and the other six people in a daze, Liu Biao, who was sitting in the upper stairs, was looking at him scrutinizedly. But seeing Liu Biao's eyes as deep as a pool filled with a strong cold aura, Liu Qi was unaware of it and was still staring at Cai Mao and the other six people, without realizing that he had become a lonely man at this moment, and he was left alone in the hall; just like a lonely geese, too abrupt and too conspicuous!

Unfortunately, Liu Qi did not have the awareness of being separated from the group at all. Little did he know that the momentary dullness made his father Liu Biao's praise that had just come to his mind disappear in an instant. He thought that what he said just now was purely a blind cat hitting a dead mouse, purely a clever one, and his essence was a voluptuous prodigal son, and a rotten wood could not be carved. Suddenly, Liu Biao was really disappointed with him and completely gave up the idea of ​​making him the prince. Perhaps soon, the prince would become the prince. It's a pity that these were no longer possible with Liu Qi.

"Everyone, you can't get up. You can't be too hasty. You need to make a long-term plan." The eyes moved away from Liu Qi, and Liu Biao spoke with a smile while raising his hand to signal them to sit down.

However, Cai Mao and six others looked at each other and knelt in the hall tacitly, with a clear attitude. If Liu Biao did not agree, they would kneel down for a long time. In order not to anger Liu Biao, Kuai Yue said respectfully: "What the general said is exactly what the ministers and others want to say but dare not say. Now that it has been clear, the weak ministers simply dare to give advice. Today, the situation is clear, and the three princes are standing together. After Cao Cao in Yanzhou defeated Li Li of Xiliang, he occupied Hebei. After two years of development and consolidation, his power has been established. Therefore, the Cao thief tried to seize the Han Dynasty and ascend to the throne and become emperor.

Compared with Cao Cao, Xiliang Li Li was strong in power. Whether he was in charge of the prefectures and counties, his troops, money and food, he was above Jingzhou and Cao Cao in Hebei. In addition, Li Li was the leader of the princes and the general of the world. He once used the emperor to command the princes to command the princes, so he was not in a hurry to ascend the throne and become emperor. With his existing power and strength, he was enough to command the world and take the lead.

Since the murder of Emperor Han in the second year of Jian'an, the world was unruly, and the Han prefectures and counties fell apart, and the heroes rose up to conquer each other, and the princes in each other were seizing the world. The Han Dynasty was declining day by day. If there was no lord in Jingzhou and guarding the last territory for the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty would probably no longer exist. Now, after Liu Zhang of Yizhou surrendered to Li Li, the lord was the only lord in the Han Dynasty who held a strong army. When the Han Dynasty was about to collapse, only the lord had the strength to turn the tide. Therefore, after the lord ascended the throne and became emperor, he would be the only orthodox emperor in the world. I beg him to think twice!" After saying that, Kuai Yue bowed his head and bowed again.

Kuai Yue said something that made Liu Biao's expression change drastically, his eyebrows beat violently, a flush appeared between his eyebrows, and his deep eyes were inconsistent. Obviously, Liu Biao was moved.

The iron was hit while it was hot and continued to work hard to forge a hundred forged steel. Seeing that Liu Biao was quite moved, Kuai Liang continued the words of his brother and said loudly: "Last year, Jiangdong changed drastically. Sun Jian's two most capable sons were assassinated and died one after another, so that Huangkouru, who was only five years old, was promoted to Jiangdong. Sun Ce's son was able to take the throne with the support of the lord. In addition, the Jiangdong forces have completely surrendered to the lord's command. Since then, the lord has taken charge of Jingzhou and Jiangdong, occupies half of the Yangtze River, with 600,000 people, and the newly recruited 100,000 troops, and now the lord has a million troops under his command.

The lord has strong strength, and is enough to roam the world without fear of any princes. Looking at the world, the only force in Xiliang Li Li is above our Jingzhou. Although Cao Cao in Hebei has hundreds of thousands of troops, it is quite inferior to the Jingzhou army. Therefore, the lord inherits the throne and is the will of heaven. I beg your lord not to hesitate, to obey the will of heaven, to obey the will of the people, and to rule the world!"

After this generous speech, a blush appeared on Liu Biao's old cheeks and his nose wings flapped, showing that his heart was already running and the cock was moving! (Excited)

Seeing the Kuai brothers talking incessantly, Cai Mao was not a descendant of the people, and he could not sit idly by and watch their brothers be more beautiful than before.

So Cai Mao decided to add another fire, and immediately continued Kuai Yue's words and said loudly: "As the two separate masters said, the lord is a big sword for the revival of the Han Dynasty. As long as the lord stands up, inherits the orthodox, and rules the world, he can recruit the civil and military talents scattered among the states in the world to the Han Dynasty, and then attacks the Central Plains in the north, eliminates the traitors, and clears the world. Therefore, the lord inherits the emperor's rule is what people want and what everyone wants.

On the contrary, once Cao Cao, Hebei and Li Li Li of Xiliang ascend the throne one after another, the lord will not be able to survive without the idea of ​​dominating the world. Sooner or later, our Jingzhou will fall into the hands of others. By then, the Han Dynasty that has inherited the East and the West Han Dynasty will be completely destroyed, the Han Dynasty will no longer exist, and all the descendants of the royal family will become remnants of the rioters, and the world is so big that there are no descendants of the royal family." This fire was a little fierce, so that Liu Biao stood up with a "scarlet" and said to express his opinion, but for some reason, he swallowed it back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back.

It was not until this time that Liu Qi, who was sitting in the hall, could see clearly the tricks and truly understand why his father Liu Biao had such a big change in the past four years.

It turned out that as early as after Emperor Liu Xie of Han was poisoned, Liu Biao realized that the Han Dynasty was in danger, and the situation in the world would develop to this point sooner or later: on the surface, it seemed that the heroes were rising together, but in fact these princes were just a flash in the pan, and sooner or later they would be destroyed and annexed by the great princes, and eventually formed today's situation, and the world was divided into three parts.

In order not to be wiped out and annexed by other princely forces, Liu Biao had to give up his original intention, turn passive into initiative, take the initiative to expand his territory, join the alliance against Yuan, and attempt to occupy Yuan Shu's territory in Huainan. However, people's calculations are not as good as heaven's calculations. Although Yuan Shu has been forced to a desperate situation by the alliance against Yuan, the thin camel is bigger than a horse, and the 100,000 Jingzhou troops alone cannot eat him. So Liu Biao retreated when he saw the difficulties, and immediately let go of his hand if he could not get the advantage, leading the army back to Jingzhou, which is equivalent to withdrawing from the alliance against Yuan.

However, in this way, he accidentally offended Li Li of Xiliang, and was quickly sent troops to occupy Nanyang County by Li Li using this as an excuse. Invisibly, Liu Biao failed to lose all the rice. Not only did he not expand the territory, he instead lost Nanyang County, which he had finally regained, allowing Li Li to get a big advantage and easily seized the huge Nanyang County.

After losing Nanyang County, Liu Biao was determined to regain troops and fight for it, but he had many concerns, worried about gains and losses, fearing that Nanyang would not be regained, but instead attracted Li Li, prompting Li Li to temporarily give up the battle in Hebei and point the gun at Jingzhou. In order to avoid the troubles, Liu Biao gritted his teeth and endured it completely, completely gave up the idea of ​​regaining Nanyang, and then learned from the pain, and stopped sending troops easily, responding to changes, planning to capture Jiangdong or Yizhou.

In fact, even Liu Qi knew that the prefecture and county that Liu Biao wanted the most was Yizhou. If Yizhou could be taken over, although it was still a place between the two states, its territory was not inferior to that of the Central Plains, and it could advance along the water and land, advance, attack and retreat or defend. Just take steady steps and take action, and take action step by step, it is very likely to recover the Central Plains in the future, reappear the scene of Guangwu's revival, and create a great Han Dynasty. Unfortunately, Li Li took the lead in capturing Hanzhong and gathered heavy troops in Hanzhong, forcing Liu Biao to send troops to Yizhou several times, but he was worried that the Xiliang army would be on the side, and he was worried that the Xiliang army would take advantage of the opportunity when the Jingzhou army fought with the Yizhou army and the Xiliang army would take advantage of the opportunity to reap the benefits of the fisherman.
