() Liu Qi paused, saw the two of them with a surprised expression and smiled, "In this way, how can Zhang Xiu not surrender to Cao Cao?"
Kuai Yue said in surprise: "Young Master Jing is so arrogant. Why didn't I find that you are so talented? Tell me who taught you, is it Kong Ming or Shi Yuan?"
Liu Qi was amused and said, "Can't I think it out?" Kuai Liang was also amazed.
Kuai Yuezheng said: "If what the young master said is true, it will definitely not be allowed to let Zhang Xiu defend Wancheng again. The young master can tell that Sun Ce of Jiangdong frequently attacked and the generals were not supported. The young master can ask Zhang Xiu to help. In this way, he arrived in Xiangyang.
If Zhang Xiu goes to the city to pay homage to your father Liu Jingzhou, he can take the opportunity to take Zhang Xiu's military power."
Liu Qi frowned and said, "What if Zhang Xiu's counselor Jia Xu sees through it?"
Kuai Yue: "This matter is simple. The young master can ask Zhang Xiu to patrol the camp and send someone to invite Jia Xu, saying that it is to discuss how to fight Cao Cao. Jia Xu must come. At that time, he appointed him as a military officer and left a call.
After the Cao was destroyed, he would return it. Zhang Xiu would not be suspicious.'
"Okay, they think we should join forces to retire from Cao Cao, and they would not expect that we would plot against them. When we wake up, the big thing will be gone." Liu Qi smiled and said with a smile.
After several consecutive times, both sides of Caocao and Liu Qi were resting and not fighting. At this time, Caocao's army had only 60,000 troops, and Liu Qi and Zhang Xiu's joint army had more than 50,000. The number of people was not distinguished. No one acted rashly.
These days, Liu Qi and Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu were drinking and having banquets, or discussing strategies to retreat to the enemy. In their spare time, Liu Qi ordered the generals to discuss and communicate with Zhang Xiu, Hu Cheer and others. General Huang Zhong was unquestionable and the army was fully equipped with force.
First, few people can survive ten rounds. Zhang Xiu, known as the King of Northern Guns, once fought with Huang Zhong for more than a hundred rounds at most, and then lost. Wei Yan was young and would be defeated after thirty rounds at most. Huo Jun and Huang
After only ten rounds, Xu was "killed". Hu Cheer was just strong, but he couldn't do it in five or six rounds.
In terms of strategists, Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, Xu Shu, Jiang Wan and Shi Tao are all first-class talents, and they can match their skills when communicating with Jia Xu.
Faced with Liu Qi's intention of pleading and recruiting, Zhang Xiu was quite moved. Now Liu Qi is in power and can respect the virtuous and humble, and seems to be willing to express his implication. After all, Zhang Xiu has offended Cao Cao, and now he offended Liu Qi again, there is no place in the world.
As for Jia Xu, he was an old fox. When faced with temptation, he never expressed his feelings. He just said that he was willing to follow Zhang Xiu and could not bear to give up. The genius believed it.
However, he is not completely useless. At least he is familiar with Zhang Xiu. Liu Qi's military generals are all heroic people. After getting along with each other, I believe Zhang Xiu will have another choice in the future.
I won’t mention this matter for now. When it comes to Cao Fei, he must be prepared and cannot pursue him. If he pursues him, he will lose."
Zhang Xiu refused to listen and was eager to make contributions. He wanted to show off in front of Liu Qi, so he led more than 10,000 troops to chase him. He walked about ten miles and caught up with Cao's army's rear team. Xiahou Dun, Li Dian, and Le Jin led the army to fight hard.
In the battle, Zhang Xiu was defeated and returned.
Zhang Xiu said to Jia Xu, "No need to say anything, this is a defeat." Jia Xu said, "You can encircle the troops and chase them again." Zhang Xiu was surprised: "You have been defeated now, why are you still chasing them?" Jia Xu
He insisted: "This pursuit will surely win a great victory. If it is not won, please kill my head." Zhang Xiu was suspicious and was not chasing.
After hearing this, Liu Qi believed Jia Xu and thought that if he was not familiar with history, I would not dare to pursue him. Cao Cao and Jia Xu were both talents in psychological warfare. Liu Qi ordered Huang Zhong and Huang Xu to lead the wind and thunder cavalry to chase him. Cao Cao's soldiers were indeed defeated.
, the army and horses were sent to the front and left. Huang Zhong was chasing forward. Suddenly, a army was rushing out from behind the mountain. Huang Zhong prevented the fraud from being pursued and took back the army. Cao Cao returned to Xu Du, and submitted a report to Emperor Xian.
He said that Sun Ce had made great contributions and was appointed as the general of the rebellion, and was awarded the title of Marquis of Wu. He also sent an envoy to bring an edict to Jiangdong and ordered the decree to prevent and suppress Liu Biao.
The following is history.
Zhang Xiu asked Jia Xu: "In the past, we used jing soldiers to chase the retreating soldiers, but the Duke said he would be defeated; later, we defeated soldiers, but the Duke said he would be defeated: It is as if the public said. Why are the things different and they are all valid? I hope that the Duke Ming will teach me
.” Xu said: "This is easy to know. Although the general is good at using troops, he is not the enemy. Even if the Cao army is defeated, he must have a strong general to serve as the back hall to prevent pursuers. Although our troops are sharp, they cannot fight against them: Therefore, we must know that
If you are defeated, those who are eager to retreat will have to make a mistake; if you defeat our pursuer, you will be able to return quickly and no longer prepare. I will take advantage of the situation and pursue it even more: therefore, you can win."
Everyone was convinced by his high opinion. Jia Xu advised Liu Qi to return to Jingzhou, and Zhang Xiu guarded Xiangcheng, thinking that he was lip and teeth. At that time, he came to report that Sun Ce was leading troops to attack Lujiang County and Jiangxia County. Wenpin ordered Huang Shehe to assist Liu Xun, but was defeated by Sun Ce.
After defeat, Liu Qi ordered Zhang Xiu and Hu Cheer to lead 10,000 troops as the vanguard, but Zhang Xiu had no choice but to go. Liu Qi personally led a large army to follow him, secretly appointed Xu Shu as the prefect of Wancheng, Nanyang, and Huo Jun took over Xiangcheng. He left 10,000 troops.
Xu Shu integrated Zhang Xiu's remaining troops, totaling 20,000 troops, 10,000 were guarding Xiangcheng by Huo Jun and 10,000 stationed in Wancheng.
Forty thousand troops marched to Xiangyang, Liu Qiyan replenished food, grass and weapons, and sent him to camp thirty miles outside the city. Huang Zhong guarded the camp and led Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, Xu Shu, Jia Xu, Zhang Xiu, Wei Yan, and Liu Pan.
After the others guarded hundreds of people back to the city. When they heard that their father Liu Biao was seriously ill, Liu Qi hurried to the General's Mansion with everyone.
Liu Qi ran into the inner room. Before the person arrived, he cried: "The child is unfilial and his father is sick. The child cannot be with him and serve him. The illness is in the father, and the pain is in the heart!"
Liu Biao struggled, and was helped up by his stepmother Cai and said, "Some minor illnesses, what are you worried about? A few days ago, I drank too much and felt hot. I only wore a single dress and suffered from wind and cold. But my body is old, not as good as before."
During the Autumn Period, how can you say that you are old? The child is not here, why don’t you take good care of your father?” he turned around and asked Liu Cong.
Liu Cong was timid and dared not speak. It turned out that these sons, stepmother Cai and father-in-law Cai Mao, promoted Liu Qi's virtues all day long, praised Liu Qi's talents, and praised Liu Qi's contributions. Liu Cong only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, so he gradually disliked Liu Biao.
"Oh, Brother Cong is still young, and he can't take care of himself. He can't rely on him to take care of his father. Now that there is no war, I will stay and help his father." Liu Qi sighed.
"Okay, I've been sick recently and many government affairs have been left behind. I'll come back from the victory. It's your mother told me." Liu Qi helped Liu Biao for a walk, and then helped him in, saying that everyone was still waiting for the reward in the hall.
Zhang Xiu also came, and at the same time told his father his analysis. Liu Biao was sleepy when he heard it halfway: "You make the decision on this matter. When you come back, don't pretend to be the governor of Jingzhou. I will be appointed as the governor of Jingzhou.
.I will be in charge of Xiangyang as the prefect of the government and handle government affairs. I will take a break for a while and I am a little tired."
"No, let's go there first."
Liu Biao waved his hand, and Liu Qi saw this and said he left.
Liu Qi came to the hall, looked around for a week, and said, "My father is sick, so I will ask me to handle government affairs for the time being and grant me the position of General Governor of the Military and Horses in Jingzhou."
