Chapter 166 Liu Qi!

More than one?

Liu Bei looked at the edict in his hand with dry mouth and felt incredible.

This is an edict, this is the governor of Jingzhou!

Which dynasty says that there are several Jingzhou governors!

One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, so this Jingzhou naturally cannot accommodate two Jingzhou patriarchs. What's more, Cao Cao may have more than one Jingzhou patriarchs, or more than two!

After understanding what Zhuge Liang meant, Liu Bei suddenly felt anger in his heart.

"Is this Cao thief trying to lead us to attack each other, but did he underestimate me, Liu Bei?

How could I be fooled with such a clumsy trick?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head, but his eyes looked towards Xiangyang.

"It's not that they underestimated the lord, but that they have never had one purpose!"

There has never been only one?

Liu Bei suddenly realized and said, "How can I persuade him to surrender to Xiangyang?"

"That's right!" Zhuge Liang nodded, his eyes suddenly sharpened a lot.

"As soon as Xiangyang surrenders, whether it is Fancheng or Xinye, they will be surrounded by Cao's army. At that time, the lord will even escape, let alone a battle, not to mention the lord, even escaping will be a problem!"

"Cao Cao's purpose has always been this. As long as Xiangyang surrenders, the general situation will be gone. At this moment, Xiangyang is probably already starting to persuade him to surrender!"

Started to drop?

Liu Bei's face changed drastically. Although Liu Bei did not expect Cai Mao and the others to resist Cao Cao, he did not expect them to surrender so quickly.

This has ruined all my good trip!

Retreatment is divided into different levels. The most naked retreat is naturally the abandonment of supplies and people leaving, but Liu Bei naturally does not want such a way of retreat.

He not only wants things, but also the people of Fancheng and Xinye!

In the Three Kingdoms, people's livelihood is declining and the population is insufficient, which means less grain output and less food and grass, which means less army. This is a vicious cycle.

Otherwise, Cao Cao would not have been able to farm, fight in war and farm in his spare time, and Sun Zhongmou would not have focused on the Shanyue people and sent troops to capture Shanyue people as slaves.

After all, if you are not of my race, your heart will be different, but Sun Zhong's plan to use it is naturally due to insufficient population.

The people's evacuation takes a lot of time. If you are with your family, you will not have a month. Don't think that they can get to Jiangxia!

Liu Bei frowned and placed hope on Zhuge Liang.

"What are the military advisors' plans? Teach me quickly!"

Zhuge Liang did not keep it a secret at this time, but said directly: "This time, there are only two people who break the deadlock!"

Two people?

"Who is it?"

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Liu Qi, Liu Cong!"

"Hmm?" Liu Bei showed a puzzled look on his face.

"Is it possible that the military advisor wants to rely on the power of Liu Qi's nephew, but even with his power, he will not be able to conquer Xiangyang within these two days!"

Zhuge Liang smiled mysteriously and said, "That's why I say that Liu Cong is like this!"

Liu Cong?

Liu Bei frowned. In his impression, Liu Cong was a soft boy, worse than Emperor Xian of Han, Liu Xie. What's the use of finding him?

What's more, Xiangyang is now in martial law, how should we find him?

"Can Liu Cong control the government affairs in Xiangyang?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "Of course Liu Cong can't, but Mrs. Cai may do it. Moreover, we are not going to use him to seize Xiangyang. What we want is time!"

Indeed, now time is life. If Xiangyang surrendered today, then the Cao army in Wancheng would come in two days.

But what if it doesn't decline?

At that time, are there more time?

Liu Bei's eyes lit up, and he understood Zhuge Liang's meaning, but he was still a little confused.

"How do you convince Mrs. Cai?"

Mrs. Cai is not a fool, how could she listen to you?

"If I go, Mrs. Cai may not believe everything I say, but if one person goes, he can achieve twice the result with half the effort!"

"oh?"

...

...

Jiangxia County was established in the second year of Yuanshou (121 BC). It belonged to the Jingzhou Governor's Department.

Both Han dynasties were governed by Xiling County (now Xinzhou District, Wuhan City), and belonged to the Governor of Jingzhou. There is also a saying that the former Han dynasty was governed in Anlu (now Anlu City, Hubei Province) and the latter Han dynasty was governed in Xiling.

At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Jiangxia County led fourteen counties: Xiling, Jingling, Xiyang, Xiang, Zhu, Zhi, E, Anlu, Shaxian, Qichun, Zheng, Yundu, Xiazhi, and Zhongwu.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the two counties of Xiang and Zhongwu were added, and Pingchun County and Nanxin City County were added.

At this moment, Jiangxia, beautiful mountains and rivers, and the scenery was once known!

It was July and August, and the tide was rising and falling on the Yangtze River, hundreds of meters wide. The deep blue river water was wrapped in wind and encouraged by the dark tide, and waves hit the river bank, tirelessly.

Further apart is a city.

This city is called Jiangxia, which is the governance center of Jiangxia County. There are arrows that are hidden in the walls on the mottled city walls.

In the 13th year of Jian'an, that is, this spring, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu sent a large army to break the city in one fell swoop, kill Huang Zu, and slaughter the entire Jiangxia County!

It swept back to Jiangdong with the few people wrapped in Jiangxia County. Therefore, Jiangxia was really a giant licking the wound at this time.

Liu Qi stood on the city wall, and from his expression, it was hard to see what he was thinking.

In fact, Liu Qi is also a tragic figure.

Liu Biao, the eldest son of the governor of Jingzhou. Liu Biao was very similar to himself because of his appearance and loved him very much. He should have been a tall, rich and handsome man, and the ending should be perfect, but he had a beautiful stepmother.

My stepmother had a son named Liu Cong. Cai loved Liu Cong and hated Liu Qi, so he often criticized Liu Biao and praised him.

It would be fine if he was driven out of Xiangyang, but Jiang Xia was not, but the situation was not as simple as he thought. Not to mention that Jiang Xia had become ruins after the battle of Sun Quan. Even if it was not ruins, it had nothing to do with him Liu Qi.

This is just someone who helps Liu Bei stay at home!

When Cao Cao entered Jingzhou and Liu Bei left Xinye, there were only tens of thousands of soldiers (not to mention how many died when Dangyang was caught up by Cao Cao's cavalry).

When Cao Cao was defeated in the Red Cliff and Liu Bei took advantage of the strait to attack Jingzhou, there were already tens of thousands of troops.

In just half a year, Liu Bei had no money or food, so where did he get the capital to recruit tens of thousands of people?

Actually, if you think about it, they are all from Liu Qi. Liu Qi is the prefect of Jiangxia, while Liu Bei and his group are just defeated soldiers and fled to Liu Qi's place and became the boss himself.

Of course, this is the content of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Looking at the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, we must be clear about one principle, that is, the author respects Liu and demoted Cao.

In fact, it is far from enough to respect Liu, just demoting Cao, because in order to make everything Liu Bei did, someone had to make sacrifices.

Liu Qi is one of the victims, but in fact, Liu Qi is not a mediocre person.

Jiangxia is a border area in Jingzhou, and Sun Quan is staring at him. If Liu Qi is unable to do so, how could he hold Jiangxia for more than a year?

The wind is as strong as this on the banks of the river!

Liu Qi's clothes were flying, but behind him a middle-aged scholar walked out.

Yiji!
