Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 289

This poem plagiarized by Li Song has been studied carefully, and people feel that it has other profound meanings, especially one of the lines: "The wings assist me, the royal family, and the four directions. The same scale as the heaven and the earth, and the brilliance of the sun and the moon."

It made people feel that Li Song had other plans or other ideas, so everyone racked their brains to curry favor with Li Song. The ministers went to the emperor Liu Xie and allowed Li Song to "visit the unknown and walk on the sword" privilege.

Under the "tough" request of the officials, Liu Xie, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, reluctantly agreed to the proposal of the officials and granted Li Song the above privileges.

A year has passed since Tongque Terrace. During this year, Li Song has been keeping an eye on the movement of Jingzhou in the south. Since Liu Biao got sick, his condition has become more and more serious. How about taking this opportunity to seize Jingzhou? I'm really sorry.

"How is the situation in Jingzhou now?" Li Song looked at everyone present and asked.

"Back to the Prime Minister, there is an undercurrent in Jingzhou, and it is a great opportunity to seize Jingzhou." The person who spoke was Yang Xiu, the head of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Now that Liu Biao is seriously ill, I'm afraid he doesn't have much time left. Whether he can survive the present is also a question. Like the Cai family, the Jingzhou gentry intends to support Liu Zong as the shepherd of Jingzhou."

"Liu Biao's two sons are of mediocre ability and cannot defend Jingzhou at all. This is an opportunity bestowed by God on the Prime Minister, and Cai Mao and others have received the favor of the Prime Minister! Jingzhou is at your fingertips!" Yang Xiu said.

Li Song fell into deep thought. Without Liu Bei in Jingzhou, Cai Mao and the others would have no internal crisis. Liu Qi might not be the opponent of Cai Mao and the others. In this way, would Cai Mao surrender?
Liu Biao is definitely not going to survive this year, Liu Zong succeeds Liu Biao, and it will be the Cai family and some Jingzhou clans who will really control Jingzhou.

When Cao Cao went south, the reason why Cai Hao and others would submit to Cao Cao was because of the threat from Cao Cao, a powerful external force, and the second was that Liu Bei's strength was not small. Compared with Cao Cao, Liu Bei was even more unlikely to tolerate him, so they decided surrender.

After there is no internal threat, it is up to them whether they will surrender or not. If they are dishonest at that time, I will support Liu Qi and use Liu Qi to contend with them.

Without Liu Bei, there would naturally be no Sun-Liu alliance, no burning Bowangpo, and no classics such as verbal battles among Confucians. The Battle of Chibi would have another ending.

"Mr. Yang is right! Now that there is an undercurrent in Jingzhou, it is indeed a good opportunity, but we should not take it lightly. We should not only care about the movements of the nobles in Jingzhou, but also pay attention to Liu Biao's two sons." Li Song has made up his mind. If you have an idea, you won't be dragging your feet.

A series of orders were issued, and everyone followed the orders.

At this moment in Jingzhou, in Xiangyang City, Liu Biao's eldest son, Liu Qi, was standing outside the mansion, looking into the distance, with a anxious expression on his face, as if he was waiting for someone.

Not long after, a carriage slowly appeared in Liu Qi's eyes, Liu Qi was overjoyed!When he came to Liu Qi's mansion, before the carriage came to a complete stop, Liu Qi trotted forward, saluted respectfully, and couldn't hide the joy on his face, "Sir, Liu Qi waited so hard for Mister!"

The curtain in front of the carriage was lifted, and a person walked out from inside, shaking the feather fan lightly, smiling slightly, seeing the breeze, if Li Song was here, he would definitely be surprised!This person is none other than Zhuge Liang, whom he once visited three times and failed to find.

"Elder Master, you don't need to be too polite! How can Kong Ming not come here for the Eldest Master's call?" Zhuge Liang said, got out of the carriage and bowed his hands.

"Please sir save me!" After Liu Qi finished speaking, he was about to kneel down, but Zhuge Liang stopped him.

"Young master! This is not the place to talk!" Zhuge Liang reminded.

"Look at me, I'm so abrupt, sir, please come in." Liu Qi slapped his head, suddenly realized!He hurriedly welcomed Zhuge Liang into the mansion.

After entering the mansion, Liu Qi couldn't wait to ask Zhuge Liang how to protect himself, and even wanted to regain the inheritance rights of Jingzhou. Although the Liu Qi brothers were different, they didn't want their family's foundation to fall into the hands of others.

"My stepmother can't tolerate me, and my father is sick. I'm afraid time is running out. I'm afraid I will die when the time comes, so I have no choice but to invite my husband to come and rescue me. Liu Qi is very grateful! "After that, he saluted Zhuge Liang.

"Oh! Liang is no more than an outsider, how can he talk about the son's family affairs at will, and alienate the family relationship, not to mention that if this is leaked out, the harm will be serious. Liang still has something to do, so let's leave!" Zhuge Liang said, bowed his hands and turned around to leave go.

Liu Qi hastily made a detour to the front, blocking Zhuge Liang's way, he finally invited this Crouching Dragon, how could he let him go.

"Since my husband doesn't want to talk about it, it's okay to have a cup of tea before leaving!" Liu Qi said.

"Hey! Since the young master invited me, I happened to be thirsty, but it was agreed in advance that I would just drink tea and not talk about other things." Zhuge Liang decided to vaccinate Liu Qi first.

"Of course! Please come in, sir. I'll order someone to serve tea." As long as Zhuge Liang doesn't leave, he can always ask him to help. The tea was served, placed in front of the two of them, and they retreated.

After drinking tea, the two sat here without saying anything. After waiting for a while, Liu Qi said, "Sir, I have an ancient book here. I don't know if you are interested in it."

"Where are the books? Please show me your master. To tell you the truth, I love reading all my life, especially ancient books." Zhuge Liang said with bright eyes.

Liu Qi was overjoyed, and said: "It's in the small upstairs of my secret room, sir, please come with me." After Liu Qi said that, he got up and walked towards the secret room, Zhuge Liang smiled knowingly, got up and followed.

The two went up to the small building, Zhuge Liang looked around, but found no books, not even a piece of paper, Zhuge Liang asked, "Where are the books?"

Liu Qi wept and knelt down and said: "The stepmother can't tolerate me, my life is at stake, can't sir help me for the sake of our acquaintance?"

Zhuge Liang pretended to go downstairs, only to realize that the stairs had been moved away at some point, he looked back at Liu Qi and said, "How can you do this, my lord!"

Liu Qi went on to say: "I specifically asked my husband for good advice, but my husband was worried that it would be leaked, so he refused to ask for help. Today, I can't go up to the sky, and I can't go down to the earth. Out of the king's mouth, into Qi's ear: I can teach you."

Kong Ming said: "If you are not close, how can Liang conspire for the young master?"

As soon as Liu Qi heard it, he knew that there was still something to be done, and hurriedly said: "Master still refuses to teach me! Anyway, my little life is in danger, and it would be better to die in front of my husband, than to die at the hands of my stepmother." If you draw your sword, you will wipe your neck.

Kong Ming was shocked and hurriedly stopped him: "Young Master, don't seek short-sightedness, I have already thought of a plan."

Liu Qi was overjoyed, and hurriedly saluted, "Please teach me, sir, what should I do to save my life."

Seeing that the matter had come to this point, Zhuge Liang couldn't justify his evasion any longer, he sighed and said, "Ah! If that's the case! I'll guide you one or two times for the young master, and I hope the young master won't tell the third person."
