Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 93
After distributing the value, Cai Mao approached Kuai Yue to discuss countermeasures.

Cai Mao: "Different degrees, my brother-in-law rashly gave the eldest son military power, is there any deep meaning in this?"

Kuai Yue analyzed: "The eldest son treats others generously and filially. He has always been loved by the lord. We have praised Mr. Cong a little too much in the past two years. Maybe the lord can't bear it now."

"Liu Qi is addicted to wine and sex, how can he look like a master?" Cai Mao snorted coldly.

"Elderly and young are respected and humbled, since ancient times," Kuai Yue sighed.

"He is an incompetent person, and my brother-in-law will only leave disaster behind." Cai Mao looked disdainful.

"The so-called tiger's poison doesn't eat its offspring. Besides, my lord has been suffering from a serious illness for many years. I don't think there will be much time left. If you, Degui, are in charge of the Xiangyang military, the eldest son is not a threat at all." Kuai Yue said.

Cai Mao stroked his beard and nodded, "Well, Meng De has recovered Hebei, and it's only a matter of time before he goes south. At that time, Jingzhou will not be decided by brother-in-law."

"At that time, I will need some introduction from De Gui." Kuai Yue said with his hands clasped.

"As it should be."

Kuai Yue kindly reminded: "The soldiers of Degui and the eldest son can be 'selected' in advance."

Cai Mao understood that Liu Qi had no experience in leading troops, so he happened to arrange some veterans (old, weak, sick and disabled) for him. In addition, the waterways in Changsha County were narrow, and it was inconvenient for deep-draft warships to pass.

There were so many hidden troubles around Liu Biao that before Liu Qi left Xiangyang, he couldn't explain it properly. Anyway, he left Xiangyang by water, whether he went to Jiangxia or Changsha, didn't it all depend on his own will?
Liu Qi was honest and obedient, and Liu Biao asked him to help Liu Pan in You County, so he had to follow his father's order and honestly take a boat to Changsha.

When Liu Pan came to Linxiang to greet him with the prefect Han Xuan, he couldn't help shaking his head when he saw the [-] sailors he brought, thinking that these guys can fight against Tai Shici with me?

There is no waterway in You County connected to the Xiang River. Liu Pan suggested that he station in Linxiang. Liu Qi has neither ambition nor opinion, and he is a layman in commanding soldiers and horses, so he followed Liu Pan's advice and stationed in Linxiang.

Han Xuan sat down immediately after hearing this. Although Liu Pan has [-] troops, but he is far away in You County, let Liu Qi have [-] sailors stationed beside him?

Han Xuan was not Liu Biao's confidant, so he couldn't help worrying that Liu Qi was here to seize power, which made Han Xuan almost sleepless at night, fearing that he would lose his head one day, so he was very wary of this eldest son.

After staying in Linxiang for more than ten days, Liu Qi recalled what Yi Ji said before leaving Xiangyang: Although Guiyang is remote, it has become quite prosperous under the governance of Liu Bei and Zhao Fan, and he also mentioned the local food in particular.

Yiji stayed in Chen County for two days, and Liu Bei treated him like a guest. Not only did he arrange carriages and horses, but he also recruited several farm chefs from Lantian. This experience was unforgettable for Yiji.

After Liu Bei received Liu Qi's letter, he immediately called Zhuge Liang to discuss, "Young master has come to Changsha, and seems to want to come to Guiyang for a short stay, what does the military think?"

Kongming said happily: "I thought Liu Qi would go to Jiangxia, but it is a godsend to come to Changsha this time."

"What do you mean by that?" Liu Bei was puzzled.

"I've been watching the sky lately. Liu Biao will die soon. Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and others support the youngest son Liu Cong. Jingzhou will be in chaos in the future. If the lord supports the eldest son, Jingzhou can be justified." Zhuge Liang analyzed.

"Justifiable?"

"Did you forget that Cao Cao coerced the emperor to make him not a minister? My lord will take Jingzhou through the eldest son, and then we will truly be able to divide the world into three."

Liu Bei was so excited when he heard this, he rubbed his hands and said, "In that case, let's set off to Linxiang to meet him as soon as possible."

"My lord, hurry up and call Yun Chang back, and let's go to Linxiang to pick up the eldest son." Zhuge Liang said meaningfully.

"Why is this? The second brother and the eldest son have no friendship." Liu Bei was puzzled.

"My lord will know when he arrives in Linxiang." Zhuge Liang said mysteriously.

Han Xuan had been waiting in Linxiang for half a day, only to see a dozen or so fast horses coming from the south, he thought to himself Liu Xuande, you are here, please invite him to Guiyang as soon as possible, I really want to sleep peacefully.

After everyone exchanged greetings and greetings, Liu Bei asked, "I heard that the young master is going to supervise the army in You County, why have you been lingering in Linxiang?"

Liu Qi smiled wryly and said: "The ones I brought from Xiangyang are all navy troops, and there is no waterway to You County, so we can only stay here."

"Young Master, can you still get used to coming from the south?" Liu Bei asked again.

Liu Qi shook his head and said, "It's just that I'm not used to it. I heard that the famous doctor Zhang Zhongjing is still in Guiyang, so I want to bother my uncle for a few days."

Liu Bei laughed and said, "Jingzhou is your father's land, why bother? You can live as long as you want."

Han Xuan next to him was delighted to hear it, and said in his heart that it would be best for you to live there for the rest of your life.

Liu Qi had no worries about food and clothing in Xiangyang, and was accompanied by good wine and beautiful women every day, but after coming to Linxiang, he could only drink water from the Xiangjiang River and enjoy the wind on the Xiangjiang River all day in the military camp. His life was boring.

It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality, and the same is true for a nobleman like Liu Qi.

Liu Qi wanted to agree immediately, but suddenly hesitantly asked: "I don't know if the river going south is wide or not? My ten thousand sailors."

Before Liu Bei could answer, Zhuge Liang said hastily: "The Lei water has not been dredged for a long time, but the small fishing boats can pass it. I don't think the son's boat can do it."

"What can I do?" Liu Qi was a little disappointed after hearing that, after all, Cai Mao's warship was not big.

"It's inconvenient for Zhang Zhongjing to travel long distances in the medical center. If your son's health is urgent, he can go there for treatment first. These soldiers, horses and warships can be temporarily commanded by his confidantes." Zhuge Liang suggested.

"Qi is leading the army for the first time, so there is no confidant general." Liu Qi shook his head.

At this time, Guan Yu walked up to the front and clasped his fists and said: "Guan is not talented, and I would like to share my worries for you."

Liu Qi was overjoyed when he saw it, "I don't have any worries about the general helping me."

Han Xuan was almost petrified on the spot, he wished he could slap himself, the [-] navy commanded by Guan Yu was ten times more terrifying than Liu Qi.

Zhuge Liang saw that Han Xuan's expression was different, so he immediately suggested: "General Guan can take them to Dongting to garrison. I heard that there are many water bandits in that area, so you can help Taishou Han to calm them down."

"It's so good, I'll pay for the military expenses." Han Xuan was overjoyed when he heard that, and said to himself that as long as you are not in front of my eyes, it will be fine.

After Liu Qi handed over the military affairs, he rode to Chen County with Liu Bei and others, while Guan Yu commanded the navy to go north to Dongting Lake.

When Liu Bei was in Xiangyang, he praised Liu Qi many times in front of Liu Biao.

So Liu Qi had a good impression of Liu Bei. On the way back to Chen County, he felt that the horseshoes were much lighter.

He won [-] sailors for no reason, and Liu Bei's face was wrinkled with a smile.

At this time, in Jiuyi Mountain in the south, Xing Daorong led an army of thousands of people to march towards Guiyang County. When he passed Yingdao County, he found that there were ten rooms and nine empty rooms, and he sighed in his heart that Gan Ning was really a bandit.

At this time, it was the summer harvest season, and the whole county was busy. At this time, scouts came to report that there were troops attacking from the direction of Lingling.

General Pi reminded: "General, this is Lingling who must have come to seek revenge. Shall we ask General Linwugao for help?"

"Are only a thousand people asking for help? Five hundred brothers are enough."

Dare to disturb this general's grain collection?I am willing to destroy you all.
