The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 510 Jingzhou Storm (19)

At this moment, only Liu Biao and Liu Qi were left in the room. Liu Biao leaned on the couch, held Liu Qi's hand tightly, and said earnestly, "Qi'er, I am old as a father. , Jingzhou will be handed over to you. Cai’s party has been basically eliminated. As for the rest of the party, they have been following the trend for a long time, and they have been officials under my subordinates for many years. If there is no major mistake, I can spare their lives. Just spare their lives."

"Father, isn't there a saying that is very good? It's called cutting grass and roots. If you don't take advantage of this opportunity to uproot all Cai's cronies, maybe they will revive in a short time, and they will most likely become ours again. The disaster of Jingzhou." Liu Qi made up his mind this time, because he knew that Cai Hao not only wanted to kill himself, but even his own father. .

Moreover, for these years, Liu Qi has been persecuted by Cai's party. How could he easily let go of this opportunity to become a serf and sing this time?He is also trying to take advantage of this opportunity to establish his prestige in Jingzhou, so that those who have laughed at him and underestimated him will fight endlessly in front of his majesty.

After Liu Biao heard Liu Qi's answer, he didn't continue, but sighed lightly, and said to Liu Qi: "I'm not telling you to kill these people, but after killing these people, there will definitely be people in Jingzhou's officialdom. There are many vacancies, and you don’t have many people under your command, what will you use to fill these vacancies? And if you kill too much, it may not be a good thing.”

Liu Qi said: "Father, don't worry, Hai'er has already found a solution to the vacancy of the official position. After killing those Cai's henchmen, make sure there are enough people to replace them. If there are not enough talents, Hai'er will not move them."

"That's good. In addition, I will recommend a few people for you as a father. They are all talented people in Jingzhou and will be of great help to you in the future." Liu Biao said.

Liu Qi said: "Father, please speak, my child will listen carefully."

Liu Biao said: "The two brothers Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue have always been talents that my father relied on more. They are also aristocratic families in Jingzhou. You must rely on these two people. You must not just because they have had contacts with Cai Mao. Throw it away."

"My child remembers." Liu Qi nodded and said.

Liu Biao went on to say: "In addition, Liu Bei, the governor of Jingnan, is also a descendant of the Han Dynasty with me, and he also has Liu's blood in his body. In terms of seniority, you should call him uncle. Moreover, under Liu Bei's tent, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhong and other fierce generals, with Yi Ji, Jiang Wan and others as their assistants, Jingnan can be safely entrusted to his jurisdiction. However, you must not have the heart of harming others, and you must have the heart of peace of mind. After all, Liu Bei is not mine. Brother, you can't trust too much. Cai Hao's incident has given Wei father a lot of inspiration, and it has also made Wei father dare not trust others easily. So, you are the same, don't trust anyone easily. In addition , Liu Bei is quite capable in the military. The Jingzhou navy has become a thing of the past. We must re-establish the Jingzhou navy. At the same time, we must strengthen the combat effectiveness of the horse infantry. You can form the navy yourself. As for the horse infantry, you can use Liu Bei Transfer to Xiangyang, let Liu Bei be the deputy governor, responsible for training the horse infantry, Liu Bei's men are all elite soldiers, and they have fought against Zhang Yan's army, once Zhang Yan's army goes south, Liu Bei may lead the army to resist."

After listening to Liu Biao's words, Liu Qi nodded heavily again, and said, "Father, my son understands."

In the end, Liu Biao said what he was most worried about, and said to Liu Qi: "There is one more important thing that you must keep in mind."

"Father, please tell me." Liu Qi said.

"Your younger brother Liu Cong is your half-brother, and his mother is also the Cai family, but the Cai family has already received due punishment, and your younger brother Liu Cong is still very young, and he doesn't know many things at all. As a father, I hope you will think of brotherhood, and treat your younger brother well in the future, besides me, he is your only relative in this world." When Liu Biao said these words, he held Liu Qi's hand very tightly, I'm afraid that after a hundred years, there will be new siblings killing each other.

Knowing Liu Biao's worry, Liu Qi said, "Father, don't worry, my son will definitely not do anything like brotherhood, and my son will definitely treat Liu Cong as his own brother."

"If that's the case, you can feel relieved as a father." Liu Biao breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Liu Qi's words.

Liu Cong is only five years old now, still a child, and does not pose any threat to Liu Qi at all, and it is a certainty that Liu Qi will inherit Liu Biao's position.It's just that Liu Cong posed a threat to Liu Qi because Cai's party was in the way. Now that Cai's party has basically disintegrated, Liu Cong's threat has naturally disappeared.

Liu Qi was not a cruel and bloodthirsty person in the first place, let alone Liu Cong was his younger brother. Although he was not born to the same mother as him, he still had Liu Biao's blood in him, so Liu Qi would naturally not attack him.

Afterwards, Liu Qi and Liu Biao chatted for a while, and Liu Biao asked Liu Qi to leave the room.

After Liu Qi came out of Liu Biao's room, he saw Sima Yi waiting beside him, so he said to Sima Yi: "Zhong Da, come with me to the study, I have something to discuss with you."

Sima Yi said "Here" without saying anything or asking anything.Because he knew that if Liu Qi had any undecided ideas, he would definitely come to him.This time, no exception.

The two came to Liu Qi's study one after the other. This study was the place where Liu Qi studied when he was a child, and this mansion was also the place where he often played.But since Liu Biao married Cai, everything changed. Cai became the mistress of this mansion, and Cai often disliked Liu Qi. After Liu Cong was born, this feeling became even stronger.Even Mrs. Cai wanted to drive Liu Qi out of the mansion wholeheartedly. No matter where Liu Qi was in the mansion, the eyeliner arranged by Mrs. Cai would always be by his side, so one can imagine whether Liu Qi's life is happy or not.

Knowing that later, after Liu Biao held the crowning ceremony for Liu Qi, Liu Qi was completely kicked out of the house by the Cai family. From now on, Liu Qi can only meet Liu Biao almost once a year, and the time of each meeting is extremely short.All of this left a shadow in Liu Qi's heart, as well as an indelible scar, and completely aroused Liu Qi's hatred for the Cai family.

Fortunately, Liu Qi finally survived, and now he has returned to this mansion, and has become the master here, and for a long time to come, he will stay here, giving orders to officials at all levels in Jingzhou.

When they came to the study room, Liu Qi and Sima Yi sat as guest and host. The two faced each other. Liu Qi no longer looked aloof when he was outside, but appeared extremely approachable.For Liu Qi, Sima Yi is not only his teacher, but also his friend, and a good brother who talks about everything.

Liu Qi just sat down on his buttocks, without any words of greeting, he asked straight to the point: "Zhongda, what do you think of Liu Bei, the governor of Jingnan?"

Sima Yi said: "Liu Bei, the governor of Jingnan, is quite talented, and his subordinates are three powerful generals, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Huang Zhong. In addition, there are Yi Ji, Jiang Wan, Ma Liang and other talents to offer advice to him. In the past few years in Jingnan, it is indeed a talent to be able to manage the four counties in Jingnan in an orderly manner. It's just..."

"Just what?" Liu Qi asked hastily.

Sima Yi was extremely smart, once Liu Qi asked him about Liu Bei, he could immediately guess what Liu Biao had said to Liu Qi in Liu Biao's room.Now that Zhang Xiu has surrendered, Cai Mao and others are dead, and Jingzhou has no usable generals, then Liu Bei, the governor of Jingnan, has naturally become the first choice.But in Sima Yi's view, Liu Bei is not a person who can be controlled, and he does not recommend using Liu Bei.So, he said to Liu Qi: "It's just that Liu Bei is not a person who has lived under others for a long time. If he is reused, he may become the second Cai Mao."

"How do you say that?" Liu Qi asked hastily with a look of horror on his face.

"Liu Bei's Governor of Jingnan was appointed by the lord. Although the lord gave him the power to governor the four counties in Jingnan, this does not mean that Liu Bei can recruit talents without authorization. As far as I know, the three under Liu Bei's account In Yuan Meng, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are Liu Bei's sworn brothers, so they will naturally follow Liu Bei wholeheartedly, but the other fierce general, Huang Zhong, is not Liu Bei's old subordinate, but the eldest son's cousin Liu Pan's subordinate, Liu Pan was ordered Conquering the rebellion of Zhang Xian, the prefect of Changsha, and died in battle. Jingnan needed a commander, so the lord appointed Liu Bei to replace Liu Pan, and led the army to put down Zhang Xian's rebellion. In this way, Huang Zhong was subordinate to Liu Bei's However, after Liu Bei put down the rebellion, instead of letting Huang Zhong return to Jiangling, he forced Huang Zhong to stay in Changsha for his own use. If Liu Bei had no selfish intentions, how could he do so? Besides, Liu Bei also recruited a group of young talents, such as Ma Liang, Jiang Wan, etc. In addition, Liu Bei even had inextricable connections with Sun Quan in Jiangdong, so it can be seen that Liu Bei has ulterior motives." Sima Yi said.

After Liu Qi heard this, he frowned and asked, "If Liu Bei really has contact with Sun Quan in Jiangdong, then he must not be reused. It's just that Jingzhou is short of talents and its military strength is relatively weak. If we don't In the case of Liu Bei, who else can be worthy of the big job?"

Sima Yi smiled and said, "Young Master, you don't have to worry about this. I have already selected talents for you. As long as you agree, there will be no problem."

"Oh? Who's there?" Liu Qi asked hastily.
