Invincible Three Kingdoms System

Chapter 429 Going to Liu Qi
Feeling that he had been treated unfairly, Chen Gong was very depressed. He originally thought of giving an impassioned speech in front of Zhao Qian, and then showing an attitude of seeing death as home, so that he would become a world-renowned celebrity after his death.

However, Zhao Qian didn't give him this chance at all, so he let his subordinates suppress him.

Zhang Fei was in charge of the interrogation. The process was very simple. There was no torture or ridicule, so Chen Gong was given two choices.

If you fall, you will live; if you don't fall, you will die!

Chen Gong didn't feel afraid of death. In this era, people died every day, from princes to civilians, and no one could avoid it.

It's just that Chen Gong felt that it was too worthless to die like this, and it was too aggrieved.
Therefore, Chen Gong chose to surrender.

After Zhao Qian heard the news, he didn't react much. Based on the principle of using people without suspicion and doubting people, he directly sent Chen Gong to Qingzhou to manage Qingzhou affairs as General Pingdong.

The next step is to deal with Xuzhou affairs.

Xuzhou is a big state, regardless of population, money, food, and land, it is relatively good.

However, in recent years, both Tao Qian and Liu Bei have been busy fighting Cao Cao, almost overdrawing Xuzhou, and the people are also a little tired.

Therefore, Zhao Qian's first task is to resume production in Xuzhou.

For this reason, Zhao Qian reduced and exempted Xuzhou's taxes, allocated a large number of talents to various counties in Xuzhou, and promoted corn planting in Xuzhou. I believe that Xuzhou will become a prosperous place again in a short time.

At this time, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Mi Zhu, and their family members fled to Jingzhou under the escort of more than 100 school swordsmen.

"Brother, Liu Biao has always been afraid of Zhao Qian, so he might take us in?" Guan Yu asked worriedly.

Liu Bei shook his head and said: "Liu Jingsheng and I are both clansmen of the Han Dynasty, so we don't think we will see death without saving them. Besides, when we fought Cao Cao before, brother Jingsheng also held back from behind. It must be because of the Han Dynasty's affection." .”

"Then Cao Cao and Zhao Qian have different influences on Liu Biao after all." Mi Zhu said without the slightest confidence.

Guan Yu snorted coldly and said, "If Liu Biao is ignorant of current affairs, we will take away his Jingzhou!"

"With more than 100 of us, how easy is it?" Mi Zhu said helplessly.

Guan Yu said nonchalantly: "With the Qinglong Yanyue Saber in Guan's hand, I will discipline all the generals in Jingzhou. Come and see me!"

"Second brother, stop talking wildly, we are defecting to Liu Jingsheng, we must not go to war easily!" Liu Bei said with a sullen face.

Guan Yu nodded and said, "Yes, brother."

At this moment, a small messenger came flying horse.

Liu Bei grabbed the reins and hurriedly asked, "How is the situation in Jingzhou? What news did you get?"

After the little school took a few deep breaths, he reported: "My lord, something serious happened in Jingzhou. The state shepherd Liu Biao died of illness. His youngest son Liu Cong took over, and the eldest son Liu Qi was driven to Jiangxia."

"What! Brother Jing Sheng died of illness!" After hearing this, Liu Bei froze on the horse as if struck by a thunderbolt, and did not respond for a long time.

"Big brother!"

"Lord!"

Guan Yu and Mi Zhu hurriedly shouted loudly, Liu Bei just came back to his senses, and couldn't help crying loudly: "Brother Jing Sheng! You and I haven't met each other yet, how can you leave me like this!"

After crying for a long time, Guan Yu stepped forward to comfort him and said, "My condolences, brother. Now that Liu Biao is dead, where shall we go?"

Liu Bei wiped his tears with his sleeves, and sighed: "Brother Jing Sheng passed away early, and his son is still young, so I have the obligation to help him!"

Sun Qian, who had been following beside him without making a sound, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, you must not go lightly. I have lobbied Liu Jingzhou to understand the character of his youngest son."

"How?" Liu Bei asked.

Sun Gan sighed, and said: "Liu Cong is young and intelligent, but timid and cowardly. His uncle Cai Mao clings to Zhao Qian, so he probably won't accept the lord."

"That's what to do!" Mi Zhu muttered, frowning.

Sun Gan smiled slightly, and said: "No rush, we can go to Jiangxia and seek refuge with Eldest Prince Liu Qi."

"Liu Qi is willing to accept us?" Liu Bei asked again.

Sun Qian nodded and said: "That's right, the eldest son was the most active in inviting troops to Jingzhou that day, but his power is not as powerful as Liu Cong, and he lacks the help of the lord!"

Guan Yu laughed and said, "My lord, it happens that we can take Jingzhou with the help of Liu Qi, and it won't be too late to compete with Zhao Qian at that time!"

A flash of light flashed in Liu Bei's eyes, and disappeared after a while, saying: "Yun Chang, we are here to help the eldest son regain what he deserves, not to seize Jingzhou."

"Brother taught me a lesson." Guan Yu said hastily.

Liu Bei nodded and greeted: "Everyone listen to the order and go to Jiangxia!"

So, Liu Bei with a group of a hundred people started to rush to Jiangxia, and at the same time sent someone to send a letter to Liu Qi to find out what Liu Qi said, and if the situation was not what he thought, he had better make plans early.

Unexpectedly, after Liu Qi got the news that Liu Bei had come to vote, he was very pleasantly surprised, and went out of the city to receive him in person, as if he were a guest of honor!

After Liu Bei saw Liu Qi, he took a closer look. He was white-robed and silver-armored, and his appearance was correct, but there was a black air lingering between his brows, which was obviously caused by excessive drinking.

"Liu Qi met my uncle!" Liu Qi was very polite, and bowed with fists in his hands.

Liu Bei hurriedly stopped, and said: "My nephew has an extraordinary appearance. Judging from this, brother Jing Sheng must be a hero of the generation. It's a pity that the two of us have no chance to meet each other."

After saying these words, Liu Bei's voice was already choked up, and the tears flowed away as if he didn't want money.

Later, it turned out that Liu Qi was comforting Liu Bei, only to hear Liu Qi say: "Uncle must not be too sad, my nephew still needs my uncle's help!"

Sure enough, Liu Bei stopped crying, wiped away his tears, and asked doubtfully, "What do you mean by my nephew? Is there any danger to your life?"

Liu Qi sighed, and said: "After my father died, the Cai clan regarded my nephew as a thorn in their side, a thorn in their flesh, wishing they could get rid of it quickly, now they just got my nephew to Jiangxia, and it is estimated that they will come to take my nephew's life soon .”

"Nephew, don't worry, my uncle has arrived and will protect you well!" Liu Bei said, patting Liu Qi on the shoulder.

Liu Qi was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "With uncle's words, my nephew will feel more at ease. Hurry up and follow my nephew into the city to cleanse my uncle!"

The news of Liu Bei's defection to Liu Qi quickly spread back to Liu Cong in Jingzhou. Cai Mao was very happy when he learned about it, so he used this as an excuse to invite troops to attack.

However, Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue objected to the crusade against Liu Qi on the grounds that Liu Biao's funeral was not over and it was not appropriate to use weapons rashly. The young Liu Cong was at a loss.

Later, the two sides reached a compromise and reported the news to Zhao Qian, who made the decision.

Therefore, Zhao Qian, who was still in Xuzhou, received a performance from Jingzhou a few days later. Zhao Qian gathered civil and military forces to discuss Liu Bei's affairs.
