Chapter 35 The New Prefect Arrives

On behalf of Jiangxia officials and people, Zhang Wu warmly welcomed Liu Taishou's arrival, and said that under the leadership of Liu Taishou, Jiangxia County will be united, realistic and pragmatic, brave to take responsibility, dedicated and dedicated, constantly emancipating the mind, and living up to the state shepherd Trust and attention, successfully complete various tasks and ensure the safety of Jingzhou.

Liu Qi is very satisfied with Zhang Wu's statement. It seems that my status as the eldest son is still easy to use. That Zhang Wu respects me very much. After all, this Jingzhou belongs to my Liu family.

Zhang Wu was a little excited. He was really looking forward to Liu Qi's arrival, because Liu Qi was his key to opening Jingzhou and the key to his standing in Jingzhou.

In the original book, after Liu Biao's death, when Cao Cao wanted to occupy Jingzhou, people welcomed him because he came from an official family and occupied the righteousness of the court;Even when Sun Quan occupied half of Jingzhou later, everyone obeyed, for the same reason.

But if Zhang Wu forcibly occupied Jingzhou by force, he would definitely not be able to stand firmly, because he came from a bad family background and did not have any ancestors who were officials.

Therefore, Zhang Wu's plan is to control Liu Qi in his hands. When the time comes, he will first kill Cai Mao and Liu Cong by force, and then take control of Jingzhou in the name of Liu Qi.Liu Qi is Liu Biao's eldest son, the rightful heir, why can't I, Zhang Wu, do what Liu Bei can do?
As for whether Cai Hao and Liu Cong could be killed and whether Liu Qi would be obedient in the future, Zhang Wu still had confidence in himself.

Liu Qi moved into the Jiangxia Prefect's Mansion, and all the guards on the prefect's mansion were replaced by Zhang Wu's men, and the three thousand soldiers he brought were placed in the barracks by Zhang Wu, and the troops were arranged around to watch secretly.

Zhang Wu took the officials to the prefect's mansion to report to Liu Qi about the situation in Jiangxia County, and then said: "My lord, Kan Ze, the envoy from Jiangdong, has come to negotiate the redemption of Han Dang. I wonder what decision the prefect has?"

Liu Qi was a little excited when he heard it. He also knew that Zhang Wu took the initiative to attack Jiangdong defenders some time ago, and set up an ambush halfway to capture Jiangdong Yuan's old general Han Dang. Wouldn't it be possible to regain father's attention by winning the battle?

The former prefect Huang Zu was killed by Sun Quan. He was his father's confidant and beloved general. His father must hate Sun Quan very much. If Han Dang was escorted to Xiangyang and handed over to his father for disposal, he would definitely make his father happy.

Therefore, Liu Qi said: "Why don't you take it to Xiangyang and hand it over to the state shepherd?"

Zhang Wu said with a smile: "Of course, the prefect has the final say! However, Zhou Yu, the governor of Jiangdong, is leading an army along the river, and will soon arrive in Jiangxia. At that time, the prefect will personally lead the troops to fight!"

ah? ?And this! !

Liu Qi was terrified when he heard that, he doesn't know how to fight, he has never even been on the battlefield, he can remember clearly how the former prefect died.

The Jiangdong army is strong and good at fighting, and Zhou Yu is a famous water warrior. Liu Qi dare not fight in person. If he is defeated and captured by the Jiangdong army, I believe Sun Quan will not spare him, Liu Biao's eldest son.

"Well, General Zhang, I think this matter needs to be discussed carefully. I don't know what opinion General Zhang has?"

"Han Dangnai is an old and important official in Jiangdong, and his status is extraordinary. If he is killed, Sun Quan will definitely attack Jiangxia with all his strength. At that time, the people will be devastated, and it will be the common people who will suffer. Nanyang Zhangxiu has surrendered to Cao Cao, and Xiangyang has faced Cao Cao. If Sun Quan colludes with Cao Cao and attacks Jingzhou at the same time, I am afraid that Xiangyang will not have time to rescue Jiangxia."

Zhang Wu glanced at Liu Qi, then glanced at all the Jiangxia officials, and then said: "Jiangxia has been fighting for years, and the wear and tear is serious. Besides, killing Han Dang is useless. It is better to let him go back and let Jiangdong stop the army. I am Jiangxia." Rest and recuperate, and accumulate strength. Of course, these are just some opinions of the subordinate officials, and the final decision must be made by the prefect."

Zhang Wu is not afraid that Liu Qi really wants to kill Han Dang to please Liu Biao, he has a way to let Han Dang go back, he just wants to use this to test whether Liu Qi is really as weak and useless as in the original book, and let Liu Qi get to know Jiang Xia by the way Who is in charge of the county.

Sure enough, Liu Qi felt that between pleasing his father and his own life, he chose the latter. Although he was weak and useless, he was not a fool. He knew that Jiang Xia and Jiang Dong would fight if they said they would fight.

If we really want to fight, we have to rely on generals like Zhang Wu to guard Jiangxia, and before he came, he already knew that the military power in Jiangxia County is in the hands of the three brothers Zhang Wu. If he really went to the battlefield, he would be dead or alive. It's all over.

"Then let General Zhang handle this matter!" Liu Qi feels that he still needs to have a good relationship with Zhang Wu at the moment, and later try to see if he can be recruited under his command to assist him. After all, he is the eldest son of Jingzhou Mu, and his status is Here it is!

"Okay, if that's the case, I'll take my leave, the prefect will have a good rest, and I'll welcome the prefect tonight!"

"Okay, okay, General Lao Zhang and everyone are here."

After returning to the General's Mansion, Zhang Wu first asked Mi Heng to arrange the reception banquet in the evening, and asked Kan Ze to join him.

Chen Sun said: "Brother, I think the new Governor Liu is also a coward. He almost freaked out when he heard that there was going to be a war!"

"Brother son, it's normal that you haven't fought a war before." Zhang Wu said after taking a sip of tea. He already knew about Liu Qi's situation.

In the original book, Liu Qi was forced by Cai Mao and Cai Shi to have no choice but to cry and beg Zhuge Liang for an idea, and he also came to Jiangxia to be the prefect.As a result, within a few years after this kid came to Jiangxia, he indulged too much, was injured by alcohol and sex, became terminally ill, and died!

Maybe it was because Liu Biao looked at her before and didn't dare to let loose, but this time she came out by herself, no one was in charge, and she didn't even care about her own body, it was really useless!

As for some people saying that Liu Qi was killed by Liu Bei, although there is some truth to it, and Liu Bei benefited the most after Liu Qi's death, but with Liu Bei's reputation, he would not do such a thing.At first, Liu Biao wanted to hand over Jingzhou to Liu Bei, but Liu Bei firmly refused. Later, Zhuge Liang persuaded Liu Bei to take Jingzhou, but Liu Bei couldn't bear to refuse.

No matter how many people in later generations analyze Liu Bei's various deeds and analyze whether he is really benevolent or hypocritical, but in the original book he is really kind and has never committed any atrocities.

"By the way, second brother, you send people to secretly observe who are the civil and military officials in Jiangxia who are going to visit Liu Taishou, and whether anyone has secretly taken refuge in Liu Taishou." Liu Biao's eldest son, who has one thigh, wants to take the opportunity to join the new prefect, even to the detriment of his three brothers.

"Don't worry, brother, I have arranged everything."

"Okay, you go back first, and prepare for the banquet at night."
