Liu Qi, the eldest son of the Three Kingdoms

() Father Liu Biao's health is getting worse day by day, and Liu Qi is only an acting executive for a month.After Liu Biao recovered from his illness, he didn't care about government affairs anymore. He spent the whole day with literati, listening to music and drinking fine wine.The counselors and Liu Qi kept persuading him repeatedly, and Liu Biao said plausibly: "My son Liu Qi is loyal, filial, benevolent, and full of talents and virtues. Without my management, Jingzhou is also well-organized."The son Liu Qi is the eldest son, and has the support of the Kuai family, the Cai family, the Huang family, the Wen family, the Ma family and other clans. When dealing with military and government affairs, he no longer asks his father Liu Biao.His younger brother Liu Cong, doted on by his father and brother, spends his whole day reckless, eating, drinking and having fun.Liu Qi saw that although he was stubborn, he had no evil deeds, so he turned a blind eye and left him alone.

No longer nervous about leading troops to fight, Liu Qi only dealt with government affairs for one or two hours during the day, and handed over the rest to Jiang Wan and Shi Tao, and taught Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, and Cai Mao to handle major matters.In my spare time, I practice riding and martial arts, or play chess and jokes with Kong Mingshiyuan.Listening to ancient songs and dances at night is not fun, so I just tuned and tuned Lolita, teased the maids, and "riding freely" worked hard for Xiao Xiaoqi.

The days of the son and the young master naturally make people happy and proud.But the sky failed, and in September of the third year of Jian'an, Cao Cao decided to eliminate Lu Bu who was entrenched in Xuzhou first, and then fight Yuan Shao in the north.So Cao Cao personally led the army to march eastward.

Before Cao Cao's army set off, Xuchang.Cao Cao called together all his counselors for a discussion, and said: "I want to attack Xuzhou first if I want to attack Yuan Shao. I want to attack Lu Bu. I am not afraid that Yuan Shao will hinder me and attack me at Guandu. I am afraid that Liu Biao will attack me at Xuchang."

Xun Yu said: "Liu Biao, the master of success, has recently ignored government affairs, so there is no need to worry. His eldest son, Liu Qi, is in charge of government affairs. Liu Qi is a virtuous corporal, and prepares the army for war. It can be seen that his ambition is not small. Xu Shu of Wancheng is also a great talent, so we should not take it lightly."

"Liu Biao has always disrespected the imperial court. He has never handed over 1.1 meters of millet. I am afraid that Liu Qi will be the same. I am afraid that the righteousness of the imperial court will not be able to restrain him. It is better to give him a reward. Liu Qi is named General of Zhengnan, Yangzhou Shepherd, Liehou. Liu Qi is so generous The reward must be accepted. If he accepts it, Liu Qi has absolutely no reason to attack Xuchang. Otherwise, he will be treasonous. Then write a letter to Sun Ce, saying that Liu Qi is rude, threatened to attack Xuchang, and asked for the officials and nobles of Yangzhou. I want to attack Lu Bu and I have to agree. Forgive me. Sun Ce originally had a feud with Liu Qi, but now that he sees Qi Feng Yangzhou Shepherd, he will be furious and attack him. When two tigers fight, one will die and the other will be injured. At that time, I will have nothing to worry about."

Xun You made a plan.

"Gongda is a good planner! Now that Lu Bu has just occupied Xuzhou, the people's hearts are not stable, so we should send troops to destroy it quickly. If Lu Bu and Yuan Shu join forces, it will be difficult to capture by then." Guo Jia coughed and said.

Cao Cao thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty's words are true. Announce my order, and add Liu Biao as General Hussars, Shepherd of Jingzhou, Marquis of Xiangyang. Liu Qi is Shepherd of Yangzhou, General of Zhengnan, and Marquis of Wu." He also ordered Hou Dun, Xia Houyuan, Lu Qian, and Li Dian led [-] troops first, and the self-unified army advanced one after another. Xun Yu, Xun You, and Guo Jia were advisers, and Jian Yong accompanied them.

After Liu Qi heard the news, he hurriedly summoned all the civil and military officials to discuss the matter at the general's mansion.Now Liu Qi has only rested for more than three months, and the government affairs in various places have just begun to improve.Now that Cao Cao is attacking Lv Bu, although Lv Bu and Liu Qi have no allies, their lips are dead and their teeth are cold. After Lv Bu's death, Cao Cao has no worries about the future. If he defeats Yuan Shao in the future, who can restrain Cao Cao.Just rely on that Sun Quan and Sun Er fool who knows how to drag his legs.The general trend is gone.

The upper hall of Liu Qi's mansion was very lively, everyone discussed this matter loudly, and Liu Qi hurried to the main seat.After sitting down and saying a few words, the steps slowly quieted down.Liu Qi looked around, his eyes fell on Jia Xu, and he asked everyone, "Cao Cao's army is now attacking Lv Bu, and he named me the general who conquered the south, Yangzhou shepherd, and lieutenant. I'm really willing to spend my money, what should I do?"

Everyone look at me, I look at you, and finally Zhizhong Kuai Liang first said: "Cao Cao was afraid that I would attack Jingzhou, so he had to reward him generously. He came to An with the heart of the governor. Now Cao Cao is powerful and has the righteousness of the court. , but Lv Bu is brave, and when two tigers fight, one will die and the other will be injured. How about sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight, and I sit in Jingzhou and watch the success or failure?"Not only can it not consume Cao Cao's power, but it will greatly increase Cao Cao's power. "

"Then when I send troops from Jingzhou to attack Xuchang, I will not only come out of no name, but also be criticized by others. And if the governor is appointed as an official and then goes to Xuchang, people in the world will definitely scold the governor for treachery. When Cao Cao returns from victory, he will attack Jingzhou according to the emperor's edict. At that time, no one will come to help." Military adviser Kuai Yue also opposed sending troops.

"In the world, only Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and the Jiangdong Sun family can be called heroes, can make contributions, and become the rulers of the princes. Rather than letting Cao Cao become bigger, it is better to take advantage of Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao has four generations, three princes, and many old officials. , although sitting in the four states of the Central Plains, they are eager to plan without resolution, and they divide the various states into feudal states, which is also a way of taking chaos."

"Then what should we do?" Bie Jia Liu asked first.

"Wenhe, what do you think?"

"My lord wants to send troops, but I'm also afraid of retaliation by Wuming and Cao Cao. It's better to marry Cao Cao. I heard that Cao Cao's eldest daughter, Cao Jie, is twenty-eight years old, gentle and kind. I will marry her, but Cao Cao refuses. We are fighting with them. Cao Cao agreed, but if our army takes Jiaozhou first, if Sun Ce attacks, fight with him, if he does not come, take Jiaozhou and take the counties of Yuzhang in Yangzhou," Jia Xu said.

Liu Qi clapped his hands and applauded: "Wen He's words are very suitable for me. In this way, wait for Cao Cao to come and see how he responds before making a decision."

So he appointed Yi Ji as an envoy to Cao Cao, and brought money, food and jewelry as a betrothal gift.

"Damn it! Hate it!! Liu Qi is a liar! How dare you bully me like this! I swear to kill him." Cao Cao was so angry that he dropped several cups and smashed two tables after hearing the news that Man Chong brought him back to get married.

Guo Jia, the military adviser, walked cautiously and came to report to Cao Cao: "I have received the news that Liu Qi wants to marry the lord. My lord has a bad reputation. Why don’t you agree to Liu Qi’s dowry first? According to the etiquette of the princes, let Liu Qi wait for several months. When the lord returns from Falü, if the lord attacks Liu Qi, he will not send his daughter to Jingzhou; Alright, let Liu Qi come to get married, if not, An wants to marry him."

Cao Cao's complexion was as dark as the bottom of a pot, which made his already dark face darker by three points: "Huh! Liu Qi's good idea must have been the strategy of Jia Xu, but it's a pity that he can't use it for me. Alas, this time It's a good plan, but it just hurt my daughter's reputation."

Guo Jia persuaded: "Those who achieve great things don't care about small details, and it's not like my lord really wants to marry a daughter."

Only then did Cao Cao calm down and meet the envoy.Cao Cao came to the prime minister's mansion after working in Yiji. After reading Liu Qi's form, he asked Yiji Liu Qi's deeds, scholars' talents, Jingzhou's favor and so on.Yiji answered one by one, and the answers were in the flow.Cao Cao sighed: "There are so many talents in Jingzhou!" So he agreed to Liu Qi's invitation to marry his relatives.

According to Liu Qi's wishes, Xie En, a native of Iraq, left the mansion to publicize Prime Minister Cao Cao's promise to marry Liu Qi's daughter.The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are known to all the people in the city.Cao Cao sent someone to arrest Yi Ji and learned that he had already gone to Jingzhou, Cao Cao was tricked by Liu Qi again, secretly depressed.

Liu Qi was very happy when he learned that Cao Cao agreed. Although he couldn't hurt Cao Cao, he still married Cao Cao's daughter, Cao Shi.

The Cao family, named Jing, turned out to be the famous Empress Cao in history. She first married Xiandi as a nobleman, and later Fuwan's daughter, Empress Fu, was killed by Cao Cao and made her empress. Cao Pi usurped the Han, and Empress Cao fought for it. But the thigh, powerless.
