The city of Xiangyang is filled with sorrowful clouds.
Yi Ji returned home exhausted, feeling a little depressed. Liu Biao's death left Jingzhou leaderless. The Jingxiang family, represented by Kuai Yue, Kuai Liang and Liu Xian, joined forces with Cai Mao to promote Liu Cong as the lord of Jingzhou. Among them,
The hidden meaning frightened Yi Ji. The intentions of brothers Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang were not yet clear, so it was difficult to speculate for a while. However, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, and most of the powerful Jingnan leaders headed by Liu Xian all intended to surrender to Cao Cao.
, in exchange for Jingzhou being protected from the ravages of war and bringing peace to one side.
If Liu Cong once becomes the lord of Jingzhou...
And judging from the current situation, this is very likely to become a reality.
The Yi people are more inclined to support Liu Qi's succession, but Liu Qi is in Jiangxia and is being held back by Li Tongyu Jin. He may not be able to return to Xiangyang in a short time.
This also caused the old Shanyang tribe to fall into a leaderless situation.
Cai Mao was aggressive and tried to establish Liu Cong. For this reason, Yi Ji and Cai Mao had a fierce quarrel, and in the end, there was no proper solution.
Watching time go by day by day.
If Liu Qi never comes back, there will be great changes.
Every time he thinks about this, Yiji feels extremely headache...
"Father, Mr. Kong Ming has been waiting for you for a long time."
As soon as Yi Ji entered the house, his eldest son Yi Yang came to greet him.
Yiyang is the eldest son of Yiji, he is thirty-seven years old. His talent and learning are average, and according to the standards of Yiji, he is mediocre.
However, Yiyang has one advantage, which is filial piety.
Because of this, Xiaolian was recommended to work under Liu Biao's account.
"Is Kong Ming here?"
When Yi Ji heard this, he was immediately overjoyed and said quickly: "Invite him to the study quickly... By the way, Dongsheng, no matter who comes today, just say that I am not feeling well and will not see guests."
Yiyang agreed and hurriedly retreated to invite Zhuge Liang to come.
When Yi Ji returned to the study and sat down, Zhuge Liang entered the room. As soon as he walked in, he cupped his hands and said, "Sir, are you okay?"
"How can I be fine?"
Yi Ji immediately smiled bitterly, waved his hand for Zhuge Liang to sit down, and then asked Yi Yang to exit the study.
After the two exchanged a few words, Yi Ji went straight to the topic, "I'm afraid Kong Ming's visit here is not just to visit me... Liu Jingzhou passed away, Jingxiang was in turmoil, and people were panicked. In addition, Xinye Zhangling, wars continued.
If you don't make arrangements early, you may be in serious trouble.
Kong Ming, why do you teach me?"
At this time, Yi Ji no longer needed to be polite to Zhuge Liang, but got straight to the point.
Today's situation is very complicated and very troublesome. Yi Ji does not have the leisure to talk in circles. After saying this, he stared at Zhuge Liang with aggressive eyes. I want to ask you now about how to solve the Jingzhou Rebellion. If you have an idea, you can
Don't hide it, it's not good for you or me. Now, I need your wisdom, and I need you to come up with a proper solution for me.
Zhuge Liang smiled...
"What are you afraid of, Mr. Ji Bo?
With my abilities, I can take care of myself alone, so why should I panic?"
"If I wanted to take care of myself, why did I need to help you earlier?"
Yi Ji's face darkened, he stared at Zhuge Liang and said: "Kong Ming, I think you also know my thoughts. Back then, when Duke Jing Sheng took over Jingxiang, I accompanied him all the way. Now that Duke Jing Sheng has passed away, Cai Mao's brother and sister have usurped power and want to submit to Cao Cao.
. How can Duke Jing Sheng’s great foundation fall into the hands of others? Although Master Cong is also a flesh and blood of Duke Jing Sheng, I cannot agree with having a young boy take charge of the nine counties of Jing and Xiang.”
These words can be said to have been said!
I want to support Liu Qi, but I am unwilling to surrender to Cao Cao, and I do not agree with Liu Cong's succession.
These three points are also Yiji's propositions and Yiji's bottom line. After hearing this, Zhuge Liang finally breathed a sigh of relief... He had been worried that with the death of Liu Biao, the old Shanyang tribe would change in concept. Now, Yiji
Still resolutely united with Liu to fight against Cao, which shows that there is still room for recovery of the situation.
Zhuge Liang said softly: "Gong Xuande, we are like fire and water with Cao Cao, and we don't want to just sit back and watch."
"Appreciate further details."
"I have a plan that may enable the eldest son to succeed to the throne.
However, now that Mr. Cai is in power, if he wants to achieve something, he must use some cruel methods. I just wonder how determined Mr. Ji Bo is?"
I have a way, but I don’t know if you dare to do it!
Yiji was not a fool, and he immediately understood the deep meaning hidden in Zhuge Liang's words.
Cai is in power and uses cruel methods!
Zhuge Liang has made it very clear, that is to eradicate the Cai family, seek Jingzhou, and support Liu Qi... There is no need to worry about the first two items. If Liu Qi wants to succeed, he will inevitably use some cruel methods. This point, even if it is
Zhuge Liang didn't say it, but Yi Ji also had a plan. The reason why he never took action was because Yi Ji didn't have enough power in his hands, so he didn't have much control.
And, no matter what, Mrs. Cai is Liu Biao’s wife, and the Cai family has great influence in Jingxiang...
If there is room for relaxation, Yiji is absolutely unwilling to use any harsh means.
But looking at the current situation, it is irreversible... It is good that Liu Bei is willing to help. But the question is, can Liu Bei support Liu Qi? With Liu Bei's scheming, Liu Qi is definitely not his opponent. If he doesn't do it well, this will happen.
I'm afraid Jingzhou will change hands...
This is not what Yiji wants.
Zhuge Liang said: "The heart of Duke Xuande can be learned from heaven and earth.
The reason why I came to tell Mr. Ji Bo is to relieve Mr. Ji Bo's worries. Mr. Xuande is willing to assist the eldest son in succeeding to the throne and taking charge of the nine counties of Jingxiang. Mr. Ji Bo does not need to worry about this... The eldest son is here, Xuan De
De Gong will definitely try his best to help and will never make things difficult for you."
As long as Liu Qi lives, Jingzhou will be his eldest son's territory.
As for us, we are just sojourners.
Yi Ji also knew very well that Liu Qi's talents were not enough to become the lord of Jingzhou.
If Liu Bei is assisting, he can secure the nine counties of Jingxiang. As for the other meaning of Zhuge Liang's words, Yi Ji naturally ignored it! Supporting Liu Qi is to repay Liu Biao's kindness. As for what will happen in the future,
It all depends on Liu Qi’s ability.
It is impossible for Yiji to live that long, so how can he worry too much about his posthumous affairs?
Besides, Liu Bei is older than Liu Qi, maybe...
If this is the case, Jingzhou may not change hands.
"How to behave?"
After Yi Ji said these words, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
Done!
He smiled slightly and said in a deep voice: "Five days from now, it will be Jingsheng Gongtou Qi.
I came to Xiangyang, accompanied by three hundred white men, commanded by Zilong, and all returned to Mr. Jibo's command. Five days later, Xuande Guild came to express condolences to Duke Jing Sheng. At that time, you and I will join hands, cooperate inside and outside, and plan to take Xiangyang and eradicate it in one fell swoop.
Cai family. As long as Xiangyang is captured, Xuande Guild will order people to go to Jiangxia to take over the eldest son. At that time, wouldn't it be logical for the eldest son to return to Xiangyang?"
Yi Ji, silent and silent.
After a long time, he raised his head and looked at Zhuge Liang and said: "Kong Ming and I made a three-part agreement.
After taking Xiangyang, you must not kill people in large numbers, which will make people unstable; you must not harm Young Master Cong's life, and must make proper arrangements; Jingzhou must be succeeded by the eldest Young Master. Kong Ming is willing to swear that if he goes back on his word, he will be punished by heaven and earth! If so, I am willing.
Cooperate with Xuande Gong..."
"A word is settled. If you go back on it, you will be punished by heaven and earth."
Yi Ji said: "In this case, Zilong can be sent to lead his troops.
But before taking action, you must be careful not to let the news leak. I will try to bring Wenpin and Wang Wei back to seek military power in their hands. These two people are close to Mr. Cong, so we must not take it lightly. In five days, we will be in the state
Act like a fool and eradicate the Cai family."
Saying that, Yi Ji stretched out his hand and gave Zhuge Liang three high-fives.
The two looked at each other and smiled at the same time...
Lord, this is the only thing I can do for you!
If the eldest son is really talented and virtuous, he will definitely be able to protect your inheritance!
