Liu Qi, the eldest son of the Three Kingdoms

() In September of the fourth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao discovered that Yuan Shao's main force had returned to the army, so he stayed in the ban to guard the Yellow River Ferry, and divided his troops to guard Guandu. He returned to Xudu and stayed for three months.

The first thing Cao Cao did when he returned to Xudu was to consider Liu Qi's alliance.Although Liu Qi is now attacking Jiaozhou, he has no time to take care of the Central Plains.However, according to Liu Qi's army's overwhelming strength, Jiaozhi can be conquered in less than half a year.Shi Xiesui had some talents and was a local rich man, but he couldn't hold back Liu Qi's army of tigers and wolves.If we don't form an alliance, Liu Qi will come back with a big victory, and when Yuan Shao and I are in a fierce battle, who can bear a knife in the back of this girl.

Jiangdong Sun Ce, who was defeated by Liu Qi, has not yet recovered his strength.Yuan Shu was defeated, and Sun Ce must have attacked Jiujiang and other places.How dare touch the tiger's ass.The rest are mediocre and incompetent.

"Sigh." Cao Cao sighed. There is no one in the world who can cure Liu Qi.Cao Cao, who was short and strong, was also a bit decadent at this time, and his back was also bent, which seemed a little ridiculous.Suddenly, with a "bang", Cao Cao jumped up against the case and made up his mind: If you get married, you will get married, isn't it just a daughter, how can I lose my ambition because of Cao Cao's first hero.As long as you can get the four states of the Central Plains, the world will be settled!

Although Cao Cao made up his mind, he still felt a little reluctant. "I don't know how to talk to my wife, Bian, and how to face my daughter in the future." But Cao Cao is a hero in troubled times, and he will never change his mind. "

In Xudu, in the hall of Cao Cao's Sikong Mansion, everyone sat at the table. In fact, in ancient times, officials always sat when discussing government affairs.It was not until the Song Dynasty that people began to stand.The counselors and generals on both sides were kneeling, holding fluorene boards in their hands.At that time, Cao Cao had already monopolized the government affairs, and important matters were basically discussed in Cao Cao's Sikong Mansion. As for Liu Xie's palace, it was only used in name when Cao Cao went to war or other princes came to court.

Cao Cao looked around, his face was very serious, and his small eyes revealed a cunning light from time to time.At this time, the Shangshu ordered Xun Yu to come out and say: "My lord, General Zhengnan, Yangzhou Mu, and Jiangling Marquis Liu Qi privately believed in my lord, saying that they want to marry Miss Cao Jie and form an alliance with the lord. The two parties will not invade each other. At the same time, please seal me The generals who conquered the South, Dudu, Jiajie, and Dudu Jingyang were handed over to the military of the three states. To show their sincerity, they are willing to support the imperial court with 20 shi of food and grass."

As soon as this remark came out, there was a lot of discussion among the officials.The generals were all furious. When would they let a child ride on their heads and let him blackmail.The advisers looked excited. Being able to form an alliance with Liu Qi would not only reduce the pressure on the rear, but also get 20 shi of food and grass, enough for Cao Cao's [-] troops for a year and a half.

Seeing the mixed reactions from the crowd, Cao Cao asked, "What's Ai Qing's opinion on the alliance with Liu Qi?"

Xu Chu was the most impatient, he clasped his fists together, and hurriedly came out and said, "Liu Qi is just a slutty young man, how can He De be worthy of the lord's daughter. This guy is taking advantage of the fire to rob, and he clearly looks down on the lord. Please order me to lead the army to destroy Liu Qi This fellow." The generals echoed one after another, expressing that they were not afraid of Liu Qi's threat.

Seeing that Xu Chu was so reckless, but loyal, Cao Cao laughed and didn't care.At this time Xun You came out, and Cao Cao asked, "What do you think of Gongda?"

There is no expression on Xun You's face, he looks dull and his eyes are dull, but in fact there are countless talents hidden underneath.Slowly replied: "There are advantages and disadvantages to forming an alliance with Liu Qi. The advantage is that the rear will be safe for the time being, and Yuan Shao will also have concerns because of the alliance between the lord and Jingzhou. Food and grass can also be relieved. The disadvantage is that Liu Qi already has a regular wife and is from Jingzhou. Mrs. Cai, Miss Cao Jie went to sit on an equal footing with Mrs. Cai, which is not good for my lord's reputation."

Seeing that everyone had different opinions, Cao Cao stroked his short beard.He set his gaze on the middle of the counselors, a young man with a pale complexion, a thin body, but very sharp eyes.

"Feng Xiao, what do you think?"

The sick young man coughed twice, and said: "This is a great thing, my lord, why didn't you agree. When my lord defeated Yuan Shao, Liu Qi won only two states at most. His strength was no more than three states, and the population was only 400 million. And the lord is already the second of the three in the world, and Liu Qi will definitely not be able to compete with the lord at that time. The lord can also open his mouth like a lion and ask for 50 shi of grain and grass, or he will refuse. Jingzhou is rich and must have grain. Liu Qi wants to gain fame. If you agree, Liu Qi will no longer have the strength to continue to attack Yangzhou, and one will fade away. When Sun Ce's strength recovers, Qilin and Shi'er will compete in Jiangdong, and our army will have no worries in the rear."

Among Cao Cao's advisers, Guo Jia was the one who could figure out Cao Cao's thoughts best, and his suggestions often hit Cao Cao's wishes.This time was no exception. Cao Cao listened to Guo Jia's suggestion, clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Guo Fengxiao, who knows me! This is a great plan!" Cao Cao actually came back this time to collect food and grass, Cao Cao's territory It's not about being rich, but because of years of wars, food and grass are often in short supply. This time, it's food and grass for the decisive battle with Yuan Shao, which is very important.The second is to conquer Liu Bei in Xuzhou. Liu Bei is the second major problem in the rear after Liu Qi and must be resolved in advance.

"I have made up my mind, please don't persuade me. I order: Send Dong Zhao as an envoy to Jingzhou to act as an agent for the alliance with Jingzhou. Xun Yu stays at the rear, and I personally lead the army to attack Liu Bei in Xuzhou."

"No." Everyone agreed.

When Dong Zhao came, Liu Biao received him personally.Liu Qi had told his father Liu Biao about his alliance with Cao Cao a long time ago, and Liu Biao would never have agreed to it before.But now that Liu Qi is in power, Liu Biao will follow him.

Dong Zhao read out the commendation of Han Xiandi Liu Xie in name, but it was Cao Cao's appointment. "

In private, he also read Sikong Cao Cao's warrant and agreed to Liu Qi's marriage to Cao Jie.There is also the need to increase the food and grass aid to the imperial court to 50 shi.

Kuai Liang, the governor of Jingzhou, thought about it for a day, and then agreed to Cao Cao's request.In fact, it was Cao Cao's negligence. After Liu Qi's management, Jingzhou's production increased by more than [-]%, and this year's harvest was even more bumper.These grains and grasses are too much for Cao Cao, but they are not enough to hurt Liu Qi.There is no way, even if Cao Cao, Guo Jia and others are smart, they don't know that Liu Qi is a descendant, and just a few ideas can increase the grain production by a few points or even double it.

In this way, both parties were very happy and happily agreed to form an alliance.Dong Zhao is responsible for transporting the 20 shi of grain and grass from Xiangyang back first, and next time he will transport the remaining 30 shi of grain and grass and marry Miss Cao Jie to Liu Qi. Getting married.

These Liu Qis haven't received the news yet, even if they do, they won't be very happy, because Liu Qi is still worrying about attacking Hepu County.
