Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 522 Liu Zong Succession
"Young master! The king of Chu has already gone west!"

A servant from Liu Qi's mansion ran into Liu Qi's study in a hurry, panting heavily and said to Liu Qi.

"What? Father gone?"

Liu Qi stood up in surprise, and subconsciously wanted to go out of the mansion and go to Chu Wang's mansion to hang a funeral, but reason stopped him, and then he said to the boy: "Quickly, take out the packed bags, we're going to leave now." Out of town!"

After thinking about it, Liu Qi said again: "You go out of the city first, and I will go to the barracks first!"

"Here!"

The confidantes in Liu Qi's house had already packed their bags, and after Liu Xie gave an order, they all quietly left the city with their gold and silver.

And Liu Qi came to Wang Wei's camp.

"General Wang! My father has already left Hexi. Cai Mao and others want to support Liu Zong to succeed to the throne, so as to take away the power of Jingxiang! I hope General Wang will help me!"

Liu Qi said to Wang Wei.

Wang Wei glanced at Liu Qi, and then said: "I didn't intend to help you, but the old King of Chu told me before he was dying that if he died, you would be the successor of the King of Chu. I hope I can support you." You ascended to the throne, but now Cai Mao is pushing Liu Zong to succeed him, this fellow dares to violate the will of the old prince, how can I let him succeed!"

After Wang Wei finished speaking, he opened his mouth and said: "My lord, although I can help you, I only have 15 imperial troops in my hand, and Cai Mao holds the power of Jingzhou soldiers and horses, and has 15 troops. Attacking an army of [-] is tantamount to hitting a stone with a pebble!"

"Oh! General Wang doesn't need to worry about this, but General Wang needs to endure humiliation in Xiangyang for a few days. I'm going out of the city to contact foreign aid!"

Liu Qi opened his mouth to answer.

"Oh? Excuse me for talking too much, I don't know who the eldest son has contacted?"

Wang Wei asked.

Liu Qi chuckled, and then said: "If I don't have a perfect plan, how dare I come to the old general? My father told me when he was just sick, that if he goes to the immortal, I can go to General Wang and Wen. Help me, general! But the combined forces of the two of you generals are only 6 to [-], which is far from enough to fight against Cai Mao, and only Liu Bei is the closest to Jingzhou, so I have united With Liu Bei, we are going to let Liu Bei and Wenpin lead the army outside, and General Wang is inside, we should cooperate inside and outside, and we will definitely be able to take Jingzhou!"

After Liu Qi finished speaking, Wang Wei had a different point of view, and then said: "My lord, I have a different point of view!"

Liu Qi asked, "What's the old general's opinion?"

"Eldest son, you need to know. Although Liu Bei is willing to form an alliance with you, help you seize Jingzhou, and help you become the king of Chu, but after all, people are far away from each other. How can you know whether Liu Bei has other plans! According to my opinion See, it's better for the eldest son to lead the army out of the city and unite with General Wen. Although we don't have many troops, we still have 6 or [-] people, which is enough to help you control a territory, Jiangling and Nanjun. , to contend with Liu Zong from the north to the south, and gradually plan to encroach on Jingzhou step by step!"

Wang Wei opened his mouth to answer.

"No, no, I have promised Liu Bei that I will give him all the land north of the Xiangjiang River, as long as he can help me ascend to the throne of King Chu! And our army of [-] to [-], plus Liu Bei's [-] to [-] There are more than [-] people in the army, which is enough to compete with Cai Hao and others, General Wang should follow the plan!"

After Liu Qi finished speaking, he turned around and walked out.

After Liu Qi walked out, Wang Wei sighed helplessly, and then murmured: "Alas! Brothers turned against each other, no matter who you two succeed, I am afraid that this Jingzhou will fall into the hands of others, I can only do my best , so that the blood of the old prince can continue!"

After Liu Qi left Xiangyang City, he went straight to Wenpin's military camp outside the city.

"General Wen!"

As soon as he entered the camp, Liu Qi directly explained his intentions and repeated what he had said to Wang Wei.And Wenpin also got Liu Biao's order, so he agreed and agreed to help Liu Qi.

And Liu Qi stayed in Wenpin's barracks, and sent another person to notify Liu Bei that he would march quickly and prepare to attack Xiangyang.

"A country cannot be without a king for a day, and a family cannot be without a master for a day. His Royal Highness the King of Chu passed away and left a legacy order to let the little prince Liu Zong succeed. Now, according to the decree of the King of Chu, help Liu Zong ascend the throne of Chu!"

After one of the guards finished reading, Cai Mao took the lead in paying homage: "See His Highness the King of Chu!"

With Cai Mao as an example, all the civil and military officials in Jingxiang also bowed to Liu Zong one after another: "See His Royal Highness King Chu!"

Liu Zong was just over ten years old. He had never seen such a situation before. He looked at the people in front of him anxiously, held back for a long time, and then said: "Excuse me!"

After Cai Mao and the others stood up, Cai Hao took the lead and said: "Now the king of Chu is young, and as the uncle of the king of Chu, I naturally have to lead by example and help the king of Chu handle political affairs, but this general is not talented enough, I hope you will worry about this general. !"

"sure!"

Jingxiang's civil and military officials all spoke.

After a pause, Cai Mao said again: "According to the information I got, the eldest son Liu Qi quietly left Xiangyang on the day the King of Chu drove west of Hehe, and he didn't come to show his filial piety. Such an unfaithful and unfilial person was born, so I decided to punish Liu Qi for the crime of unfilial piety and degrade him into a commoner!"

"General Cai's advice! Then Liu Qi is a white-eyed wolf. Thanks to the previous king for not passing the throne of Chu king to this rebellious son, otherwise it would be the disaster of Jingzhou!"

One of Cai Mao's henchmen flattered Cai Mao and belittled Liu Qi.

And Liu Zong was sitting on the throne twisting left and right, no matter how much he looked like a prince, he was obviously a child with a childlike innocence.

And Cai Mao wished Liu Zong would look like this, if Liu Zong was like a little adult, it would be hard to control.

"My lord, are you willing to sit here every day?"

Cai Mao asked Liu Zong.

Liu Zong was dripping with snot, and said, "Uncle, I don't want to sit here, I'm going to catch crickets, why don't you sit here for me!"

"Don't dare, don't dare!"

Cai Hao hurriedly waved his hands, and then said: "My lord, since you don't want to sit here now, then you can go and read some books. When you want to come back and sit down, come back, I will watch over here for you first." !"

"Okay! That's it!"

After Liu Zong and Cai Mao finished talking, he jumped off the throne, ran back to the backyard of the palace, and went to catch crickets.

"Oh! Shame! Shame!"

Liu Xian shook his head, and murmured in his heart: "If the eldest son succeeds to the throne, how can such a phenomenon happen!"
