Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

I don't know if it was Yuan Shu who was calculating and shrewd, or whether he acted without any scruples, so he quietly let Ji Ling, who had just withdrawn from Nanyang, take a short route, and went straight to Yuzhang, letting Liu Biao Edge was caught off guard.

Because of love, Liu Biao had to save Zhuge Xuan, after all Zhuge Xuan was sent out by him to intervene.

Yu Li, no matter what name Yuan Shu used to send troops to Yuzhang, it was Yangzhou's internal affairs, and it was not his turn to take care of Liu Biao.

Personally, Liu Biao didn't want to lose face in this matter.

As a result, Liu Biao was entangled in left and right, so he had to worry about discussing with everyone, hoping to come up with an appropriate countermeasure.

It's just that Liu Biao's officials are also in a dilemma.

Zhuge Xuan is not a native of Jingzhou, and the two sides have no friendship, life and death have little to do with them.

And Yuzhang is not Jingzhou, in what name did he send troops?

Don't forget, in the battle in Nanyang, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun are still raising at home. Even if troops are sent, can they win?

It's just that it's hard for anyone to mention the refusal to send troops. If Zhuge Xuan has something bad or bad in the future, Liu Biao will inevitably complain about the person who proposed today.

Seeing that all the people in front of him were silent, Liu Biao sighed, how could he not know what everyone was thinking?

Turning his head to look around, Liu Biao looked at the eldest son who was sitting slightly behind, and asked, "Qi'er, what do you think about this matter?"

Liu Qi is now in his 20s. He looks very similar to Liu Biao. He also has a refined demeanor. He is a good person at first glance, and it is easy for people to like him when he meets him.

Seeing his father's question, Liu Qi first bowed to salute, then bowed to Liu Biao left and right to show respect, and then said solemnly: "My child thinks that we should send troops immediately!"

Liu Biao nodded slightly, showing a hint of a smile. Regardless of whether Liu Qi's attitude was correct or not, at least he dared to speak, which showed that he had an idea in his heart.

"reason?"

Liu Qi saluted again, showing great respect to his father, seeing Liu Biao being so polite, everyone present nodded secretly.

Liu Qi said: "Yuan Shu has no principles, and he ran amok in Nanyang like a jackal, so that countless people were displaced. Now he sent troops to Yuzhang for the sake of the people of Yuzhang. Father should send troops. This is an act of benevolence and righteousness!"

Liu Biao nodded slightly, motioning for him to continue.

"Although Yuan Shu is the governor of Jingzhou and Yuzhang is under his jurisdiction, the current prefect is also canonized by the emperor. Yuan Shu raised troops without reason. This is disloyalty. His father is a descendant of the royal family. Sending troops to help is to show the majesty of the Han Dynasty!"

"Prefect Zhuge is my father's old friend. He lives next door. Now that a foreign thief enters the house, how can my father stand by and watch?"

Liu Qi clasped his fists for the last time, and said: "Based on these three points, I think Jingzhou should send troops to solve Yuzhang's urgent situation!"

Liu Biao nodded again, but smiled wryly in his heart. What his son said was indeed reasonable and righteous, but the words were too straightforward, leaving no room for him, a father, to refuse.

Liu Biao did not reply, but asked again: "Do you think so?"

After thinking about it, he added: "Even though you can speak freely, it's okay to be wrong."

No one was willing to stand up and express their views before, mainly because they lacked a leader. Now that Liu Qi is present to express his position, and looking at Liu Biao's attitude, naturally someone is willing to speak up.

Han Song, who was in charge of Jingzhou, said: "What the eldest son said is very true, but Song thinks this is not the best policy."

Someone disagreed, Liu Qi was not angry, and bowed very politely: "Please teach me, sir."

Han Song glanced at Liu Biao first, saw that he didn't make a statement, returned the salute, and then said, "Nanyang is newly defeated, Junshi Cai and General Zhang are still recovering from their wounds, our soldiers and horses in Jingzhou are depressed, but Ji Ling is in high spirits, if you want to send troops to Yuzhang , who dares to be the commander-in-chief of the three armies?"

Liu Qi frowned slightly. He was thinking. Soon, he looked at Huang Zhong who was sitting not far away with his head bowed. His eyes lit up and he said, "General Huang is brave, he can be called the commander of the three armies."

When Huang Zhong saw his name mentioned, he nodded slightly, but he didn't stand up and say anything.

Han Song didn't say anything about Huang Zhong's skills, but continued: "Ask me again, if you win this battle, what should you do? If you lose, what should you do?"

Liu Qi was about to open his mouth to answer, and then he choked.

Han Song smiled slightly, and before Liu Qi could continue to ponder, he said directly: "If we lose this battle again, I am afraid that Jingzhou will become the laughing stock of the world, and the soldiers and horses will not regain their fighting spirit for several years, and even some unruly people will use this to create chaos! "

"If you win this battle, you have two choices. One is to win and withdraw the troops, and then prepare troops and horses all year round to prevent Yuan Shu from making a comeback. How many people think that Zhou Mu raises troops for no reason, but they are at a moral disadvantage!"

Many people at the scene actually understood what Han Song said. Although they didn't agree with Liu Qi in order to save face, the expressions on everyone's faces obviously agreed very much.

Liu Qi also knew what Han Song said was reasonable, but it was against his heart, so he asked, "Should we just let Yuzhang ignore it?"

"Ugh."

Han Song sighed, cupped his hands, and said: "Although the officer knows that sending troops is harmful, he also understands that staying still is harmful, and he is also in a dilemma."

Liu Biao's face immediately turned a little ugly, Han Song refuted his son, it doesn't matter, this is normal, the juniors will grow up after being taught a lesson, he Liu Biao is not a stingy person, but after you refuted it, you said that you really don't have any ideas in your heart , it felt as if he was speaking specifically to target Liu Qi.

In fact, Kuai Yue was also dissatisfied with Han Song's words, and he was too disrespectful to Liu Qi, but seeing Liu Biao's displeasure, why did he ease the atmosphere, so he stood up and said at the right time: "According to what Yue saw, it is not necessarily necessary to use weapons, why? Don't ask the emperor to rule?"

Liu Biao subdued his anger and asked, "What do you mean by this statement?"

Kuai Yue cupped his hands and said, "Choose a man who can speak eloquently and meet Yuan Shu face to face. He will know how powerful he is, and he will suspend his swordsmanship. Then he will go up to the imperial court and act according to the imperial court's will."

"Well"

Liu Biao pondered for a moment, feeling slightly moved.

As soon as the news came, Liu Biao knew that Yuzhang would definitely fall into Yuan Shu's hands.

He couldn't beat Yuan Shu on his own territory, so if he went to Yuzhang to fight away, he was afraid that he would lose even worse.

Therefore, although Liu Biao asked whether to send troops or not, what he cared most about was how Yuzhang was taken away with Yuan Shu.

So Kuai Yue understood Liu Biao's thoughts and asked the court to come forward. Although it was not expected that Yuan Shu would win in the end, Liu Biao listened to the court's words, not because he was afraid of Yuan Shu. A little better.

A smile gradually appeared on Liu Biao's face, and he asked, "What do you guys think of the alien strategy?"

Seeing this, all the civil and military men breathed a sigh of relief. They were really afraid that Liu Biao would go to fight with Yuan Shu again in a flash of his brain, so naturally they all agreed.

Liu Biao saw that everyone thought this way, and he was relieved but also a little depressed. They were scared of being beaten by Yuan Shu, but that problem needs to be solved slowly, and the matter at hand should be dealt with now.

"Then, who will serve as an envoy for this old man?"

Halfway through Liu Biao's words, an attendant came in from the side door and walked up to Liu Biao's side and whispered a few words. Immediately, a faint anger appeared on Liu Biao's face. The masters all murmured in their hearts, who made Zhou Mu angry again?

Liu Biao raised his hand, told the attendants to step back, was silent for a while, did not mention what happened just now, and suddenly smiled: "The old man just learned a happy event, I should share it with you."

Kuai Yue heard something vaguely just now, and it seemed that Li Yi's name was there, but he was not very clear, and asked, "I don't know what is the happy event?"

Liu Biao narrowed his eyes and said, "Just now, Huang Chengyan's daughter admired the talent of Marquis Xiang and worshiped him as her teacher. At this time, it is said that she is preparing to celebrate with a banquet at home. Haha, tell me, do you want me to ask for a drink too?" Drink to quench your thirst?"

Although Liu Biao's face was full of smiles, but when others heard this, it sounded like he was gnashing his teeth.

Everyone knew that Liu Biao was really angry, and he should be more angry with Huang Chengyan than Li Yi.

Huang Chengyan, who can't be invited by the lord of a state, will take the initiative to join Li Yi's side. It seems that he is still posting backwards. What is this for?
