Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 158 Are you ready?
Jingzhou City.
In the council hall of the city lord's mansion.

Liu Qi sat on the main seat, and civil servants and generals sat on the left and right sides.

After resting in the small village of Jiuli Mountain for one night, he accepted Liao Hua's surrender and recruited a hundred Yellow Turban troops. On the second day, he rushed back to Jingzhou.

It will take two days to return to Jingzhou now.

"My lord, Ma Teng and Han Sui led more than [-] soldiers, but they were defeated by Li Jue and others. However, Fan Chou was killed by Li Jue for letting Han Sui go. Cao Cao, who led his troops to leave Xuzhou, has also arrived. Hangu Pass will be able to reach Chang'an in a short time, and with Cao Cao's strength, it will not be too difficult to take Chang'an, and he will definitely be able to take over Chang'an!" Guo Jia stood up and said.

heard.

Everyone present also nodded. Although Li Jue, Zhang Ji, and Guo Si held heavy troops and defeated Ma Teng and Han Sui's coalition of more than [-] troops, they did not think that Li Jue could continue to defeat Cao Cao.

Today's Cao Cao is not the Cao Cao of the past. Not to mention that there are 30 Qingzhou troops under his command, the counselors include the uncles and nephews of the Xun family-Xun Yu, Xun You, and Xi Zhicai, etc. The generals include Xia Houdun, Xia Houyuan, Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Yu Jin and others can be said to be strong soldiers and horses, even more powerful than Dong Zhuo in his heyday.

As for Li Jue, Guo Si, and Zhang Ji, although they hold heavy troops, there are not many people under their command who can use them. This is the main reason why they all think that Cao Cao will take over Chang'an.

Liu Qi nodded. After meeting Cao Cao, when he was about to leave, Cao Cao had already told him that he was going to Chang'an King Qin, so it was not a big surprise that Cao Cao led the army to Hangu Pass. Chang'an is a trouble, but in the eyes of Xi Zhicai and others, Chang'an is not a trouble, but a help.

Then he said, "Is there any other news?"

"My lord, after Cao Cao led his army to withdraw from Xuzhou, Kong Rong from Beihai and Tian Kai from Qingzhou also led his troops to leave. Only Liu Bei from Pingyuan was left behind by Tao Qian from Xuzhou. It seems that Tao Qian intends to give up Xuzhou; but!"

Guo Jia paused for a moment, then continued: "The situation in Xuzhou does not need to be paid much attention to. The main thing is Jiangdong. Sun Ce has already controlled Jiangdong, and now he is stationed in Wankou Port and Lujiang. Take back Jiangxia!"

This statement came out.

All the people present here also turned serious, and the rest of the things can be regarded as watching a show, but Sun Ce stationed troops in Wankou Port and Lujiang River, so the situation is different. Down the river, it is the land of Jiangxia.

If the land of Jiangxia that was recaptured before was captured by Sun Ce, they would not be able to sleep peacefully.

Liu Qi also frowned. Sun Ce valued the land of Jiangxia, and he also valued the land of Jiangxia. If you want to enter the land of Jiangdong, Jiangxia is a good place to send troops.

His eyes scanned all the people present, and finally stopped on Li Ru and Jia Xu, and asked, "How is the matter going?"

Li Ru and Jia Xu looked at each other.

"My lord, the arrangements have been made, and the things were dug up by my staff. The local county magistrate reported it. Yuan Shu personally brought the two cauldrons back to Shouchun and issued a sealing order. , although there is no accurate information, we can refuse to report that Yuan Shu's mansion has been frequented by counselors and generals recently!"

At this point, Jia Xu, who stood up to report, paused, showing a meaningful smile, and then continued: "If the expectations are good, there will definitely be some actions in the next few days!"

"Wen He's words are correct, and Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses have also undergone some changes. They must have not recognized that the two big tripods were forged. In addition, Yuan Shu holds the Jade Seal of Chuanguo in his hand, and has newly obtained the 'Jiuzhou Tripod' The two tripods in the middle, I have forgotten everything in my heart, I never thought that all this is our plan, and it will definitely take action in a short time!" Li Ru stood up and added.

"Then...!" Liu Qi looked at everyone seriously.

Seeing Liu Qi's serious expression, all the people present straightened up. Except for Tai Shici and Liao Hua who just joined, everyone knew the plan.

Now the time is coming, and nothing has changed, and it is time to make corresponding arrangements.

"Xingba, Ziyi!"

"exist!"

"You two, go to Jiangxia to garrison and rebuild the Jingzhou navy. Once Shouchun makes a move, he will lead [-] soldiers and horses out of Jiangxia. Thinking about it, Sun Ce didn't have the heart to think about Jiangxia's affairs, let alone the city. A garrison of [-] troops will be able to resist until you wait for reinforcements!"

"promise!"

"In addition to the garrisons staying in the city, there are also some critical pass places for the soldiers and horses in other places. They are all transferred back and stationed in Xinye; all military supplies such as food and grass are fully equipped. When the army sets out, there must be enough troops to fight. Materials, there can be no delay!"

"promise!"

Liu Qi also stood up from his seat, his eyes lit up, looked at the crowd, and said: "This time, there is no need to compete for the cities, only the supplies of the cities are plundered, but the people are not allowed to be plundered, anyone who disobeys the order will be beheaded!"

When talking about "but", Liu Qi emphasized his tone. He didn't intend to take advantage of this plan to expand the territory. After all, there are two places in Jiaozhou and Jingzhou. If there are not enough soldiers and horses, the expansion of the territory will not be able to hold.

It's better to take the opportunity to plunder some resources and enrich your own power. Anyway, the land is there, and you can't run away. It needs to be warned.

"Follow my lord's orders!"

The people didn't have any doubts about this order. If Liu Qi ordered them to lead troops to plunder the people, then they also needed to reconsider whether Liu Qi was worthy of their continued follow.

"Once this matter is settled, the trend of the world will be clear, and we will truly embark on the path of the era that you and I want to create. I hope you will do your best!"

After Liu Qi finished speaking, he bowed his hands to everyone.

He clearly knows that this road is not easy to walk, and because of his arrival, there will be many changes, and in the end there may be a situation where he will die, but in this era of troubled times, heroes, and blood, If you don't fight for it, you will be unwilling.

"I will not fail the lord!" Everyone knelt down and bowed.

There was also a fiery look in their eyes, and they also knew that if Yuan Shu really did such a thing, it would become the last straw to overwhelm the big man.

Just as Liu Qi said, the situation of the world can be clarified, just like returning to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period. When the princes are caught up in the hegemony, they will no longer respect the big man and just see who wins. Thinking of this, they couldn't help being excited ,Excited.

Are you guys ready?There was a firm look in Liu Qi's eyes, and he looked out of the conference hall and into the distance, as if he could see the entire Central Plains through the outside.
