Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 141 The Advantages and Disadvantages of Jingzhou

a few days later.
Early in the morning, in the hall of Liu Mansion.

Cai Yan was gently helping Liu Qi, who stood up after breakfast, to tidy up her clothes; Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, and Liu Xin also stood aside and watched quietly, not disturbing the scene.

Liu Qi is not surprised, after all, this is a picture that he will have when he is going out. Looking at Cai Yan's beautiful face, he stretched out his hand to wipe off the remaining rice grains from the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Okay, I will it's time to go!"

When Cai Yan saw Liu Qi stretching out his hand, he thought that Liu Qi was going to do something, and he woke up when Liu Qi wiped the rice grains from the corner of his mouth, but even so, his face was still flushed, and he kept his head down when he heard Liu Qi's words. Head 'um' a bit.

Liu Qi didn't care either, it's normal to act a little ambiguously, not to mention there were no outsiders, so he nodded to Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, and then went out. , some things can only be pushed back.

Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao also gave Liu Qi a Wanfu gift. Now Cai Yan has completely accepted them, and Liu Qi has not refused. It is only the last step. There are also many things waiting for Liu Qi to deal with in time. After returning from Jiangxia City, they basically went to the City Lord's Mansion to deal with things every day. They didn't have any complaints and waited silently. They knew that Liu Qi would give them an answer.

"Goodbye, big brother!" Liu Xin also said obediently with her big bright eyes shining.

Liu Qi also stepped out of the hall and walked towards the gate of the mansion.

In the council hall of the city lord's mansion.

Zhao Yun, Wei Yan, Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, Gan Ning, Guo Jia, Wenpin, Ma Liang, Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang, and the newly joined Li Ru and Jia Xu, all the main backbones under Liu Qi's command are now present.

With the newly joined Li Ru and Jia Xu, everyone got to know each other before Liu Qi arrived. After all, they will work together in the future.

Zhao Yun, Wei Yan and others also returned to Jingzhou City yesterday because they settled down the situation in Nanyang and Jiangxia. As guessed before, Yuan Shu didn't care too much about Nanyang being captured. However, although Sun Ce of Jiangdong Send someone to condemn, but because Jiangdong has not yet fully controlled, he also did not raise troops.

As for Jingbei, because of the turmoil in Chang'an, it is considered stable now, and Wenpin was also called back by Liu Qi.

Therefore, the meeting hall also seemed a bit lively.

"Hehe, it seems that everyone is still in good spirits!" A voice suddenly sounded at the door of the meeting hall.

Everyone saw that it was Liu Qi who was coming from the Liu residence, and he was wearing a white robe. They bowed their hands and saluted, and said in unison: "My lord!"

"Okay, there's no need to be too polite, let's all sit down!" Liu Qi walked towards the main seat while talking.

Everyone also looked for seats and sat on both sides. The general was on the right side of the door, and the counselor was on the left side of the door. They followed Liu Qi for a while, and knew that Liu Qi would not care about some etiquette when there was no big event. random.

After sitting down, they all looked at Liu Qi with fiery eyes. They knew that Liu Qi had gathered everyone together, so he must be planning something.

Liu Qi looked at the civil servants and generals present, and felt a little proud in his heart. Now he has a complete set of strong generals and counselors, and he has two places in Jiaozhou and Jingzhou in his hands. He has enough food, grass and soldiers to fight in all directions.

Then he said, "Let's talk about the situation in the nearest states and counties first!"

"Back to the lord, in the land of Sili, Dong Zhuo's former subordinate Li Jue and four people led the Xiliang army to enter Chang'an. Wang Yun jumped off the wall of the palace gate and died. Lu Bu led the Bingzhou wolf cavalry to withdraw from Chang'an and arrived in Pengcheng, Xuzhou; Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan also had a truce at Jieqiao, and Gongsun Zan returned to Beiping; Cao Cao also subdued the remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, with an army of 30, known as the "Qingzhou Army", and returned to Dongjun; Sun Ce was about to control the entire Jiangdong land; as for the rest The princes didn't make any moves, but it seems that some ministers in the court seem to have brought an imperial decree to Liangzhou, asking Han Sui and Ma Teng to lead their troops to Chang'an to serve the king!"

Guo Jia stood up and told all the news that he had received reports from various states and counties.

Hearing this, Liu Qi rubbed his chin and became condensed. Anyway, it's messed up now, and he still wants to make the water a little more muddy, so that he can benefit from it better.

But if you want to do it, it feels a bit difficult to do it, and there are no good people around you.

"My lord, why don't you go north, pass Wuguan, cross Huashan, and you will be able to reach Chang'an directly. It should be better for the emperor to be in our hands than in the hands of others. You can also take this opportunity to seize the land of Sili. Now, divide the land of the Central Plains into east and west!" Kuai Yue stood up and suggested.

Liu Qi shook his head, trying to stop it.

"Lord Kuai's words are wrong!" Li Ru stood up and retorted.

He voted under Liu Qi's command. Liu Qi asked him to sit next to Guo Jia, which meant that besides Guo Jia, he was the second candidate for a counselor. He also needed to perform and prove himself. Convinced.

"What Master Li said is true, what my second brother said is lacking!" Kuai Liang stood up and said.

He also knew in his heart that there was indeed a problem with Kuai Yue's strategy this time, but he also knew that it was the item of 'holding the emperor to order the princes', and he didn't think of the rest.

Kuai Yue came to his senses and remembered Liu Qi's previous words, he didn't want the trouble of Han Xiandi at all, so he bowed his hand to Liu Qi.

Liu Qi nodded, not paying too much attention to it. After all, the starting point was good. Then he looked at Li Ru and asked Li Ru to continue. He himself didn't have any good way to deal with it. I want to muddy the water in the Central Plains, not to take the trouble on my back.

"My lord sits in Jiaozhou and Jingzhou. With Jiaozhou as the back and Jingzhou as the starting point, you can take the land of Sili if you go north, you can capture the land of Yizhou if you go west, and you can capture Yuzhou and Yangzhou if you go east. With all the advantages, the disadvantages are also very clear. There is no pass. Once one of Wuxian Port, Shangyong, Nanyang, Xinye, Jiangxia and other places is broken, the enemy can drive straight in and surround Jingzhou. city!"

"It is true that Beishang can take down the land of Sili, but it has no effect on us. Even if it can be taken, it will be difficult to defend in the current situation, and the emperor falls into our hands. Not only does it have no effect on the lord Benefits will also be restricted, so if you want to act, you will be subject to many restrictions, so going north is not advisable, but should be avoided!"

Li Ru talked a lot eloquently, analyzing the stakes in it.
