"Dear lords, the traitor Liu Qi has borrowed troops from Xichuan and has now besieged Xiangyang.
What should we do about this? Do you have any clever ideas to defeat the enemy?"
Liu Zong, who was sitting at the top, was still underage, so he was naturally confused when faced with this unexpected situation.
Who would have thought, that wimp Liu Qi could actually turn around?
You know, after Liu Biao died, no one paid any attention to that wimp Liu Qi.
"Your Majesty! Now the traitor Liu Qi has led an army of 150,000 people from Xichuan, and Guan Yu, the sworn brother of the puppet emperor Liu Bei, is leading the army as a general.
I believe that our army should guard Xiangyang tightly, and then send envoys to various places to summon the prefects and garrisons from various places to come to King Qin to rescue him!"
Xiangyang currently has only 30,000 Yulin troops, and it is absolutely impossible to defeat the 150,000 troops led by Guan Yu.
Before, Liu Qi fled all the way to Shangyong, and no one paid attention to it. Who knew that this guy would be able to contact Liu Bei?
Due to carelessness, the unprepared Jingzhou was led by Guan Yu and the Xichuan army. It could be said that they attacked Xiangyang with overwhelming force, which did not give Jingzhou any time to react.
Nowadays, even if you want to respond, it may be too late.
We can only do what Zhang Yun said, stay trapped and wait for help.
"Okay! Just as Zhang Qing's family said, I will guard Xiangyang together with all your ministers and wait for reinforcements!"
Liu Zong, who was very young, had no idea. Since Zhang Yun said that he would wait for help, he would naturally follow his advice.
Of course, relying solely on a court meeting and a young emperor cannot determine the direction and future of Jingzhou.
"Brother! Do you think what Zhang Yun said above the court is realistic? With the 30,000 soldiers in our city, can we really stop Guan Yu's 150,000 army?"
After the court, in the back courtyard of the palace, Mrs. Cai asked her brother Cai Mao with an eager look.
In order to establish prestige for the new emperor Liu Zong, it was inconvenient for Mrs. Cai to do the thing of listening to politics behind the curtain.
However, just because it is inconvenient to interrupt at court does not mean that you cannot discuss with your elder brother at court.
"Why, sister, don't you have any good ideas?"
Cai Hao was also full of anxiety regarding Guan Yu's siege.
Who would have thought that this day would change at the drop of a hat?
How long had Liu Biao been dead? The internal stability of Xiangyang was not yet stable, and the power struggle between the various forces had not yet reached a conclusion, when the 150,000-strong army from Xichuan suddenly appeared?
Cai Mao also knew her sister very well, but as a pretty woman who was good at hooking up with men, what other good solutions could she come up with regarding this political issue?
Cai Mao was deeply suspicious of this.
But I never thought that Mrs. Cai actually had a solution.
"Brother! Sister, I really have a way to save Jingzhou!"
!!!
He didn't give any hope at first, but when he suddenly heard Mrs. Cai say this, and looked at the determined expression on her face, Cai Mao seemed to see hope.
You know, the roots of the Cai family are in Xiangyang, and the power of the Cai family comes from his nephew Liu Zong.
As long as Liu Zong is still the lord of Jingzhou and the emperor of the Han family, then the Cai family will naturally be the most powerful family in Jingzhou.
But if Liu Zong loses power, the Cai family will be doomed.
For Cai Mao, who is accustomed to enjoying glory and wealth, this is completely unacceptable.
It's just that the Xichuan army arrived so suddenly that Cai Mao was so panicked and helpless.
"Brother! Have you forgotten the Chu State and the Chu King Xiang Ji? But don't forget that the Chu State and us are allies! Now that we are in trouble, if we want to ask for help, we should get it.
Assistance, right?”
Cai Hao, who was still full of hope, suddenly became depressed again when he heard Mrs. Cai's words.
Chu State? King Xiang Ji of Chu? How could Cai Mao not know this?
But the problem is that what was signed at the beginning was just an armistice agreement, not an offensive and defensive alliance at all.
Now that you are in trouble in Jingzhou, why should people help you?
Cai Mao didn't believe that the King of Chu would be so eager for justice.
I'm afraid that if the Chu State learns about the incident in Jingzhou, it would be trivial to tear up the armistice agreement. It is not impossible to directly unite with Xichuan to carve up Jingzhou. How about asking others for help? Don't you think Jingzhou is not chaotic enough?
"Brother! Little sister, I am sure that King Chu will definitely come to our aid!"
Seeing the distrust on Cai Mao's face, Mrs. Cai became anxious.
Nima, did I sleep in vain?
You know, that Xiang Ji slept with himself in this palace back then.
Although it was Chu Wang Xiang Ji who took the initiative to seduce him, that was not important.
When Mrs. Cai thought about it, she was more or less that Xiang Ji's lover.
Now that the lover is in trouble, no matter what, the Chu State will send troops to intervene, right?
Even if you make some noise and act as if you are going to send troops, it can have a considerable intimidating effect on Nishikawa, right?
But when Mrs. Cai told Cai Mao about this matter, all she got in exchange was Cai Mao's ridicule.
"Little sister, don't mention this matter again.
How could the King of Chu send troops after a night of fun?"
Cai Hao really never expected that his little sister would sleep with the King of Chu.
But even so, it was just a one-night stand with King Xiang Ji of Chu. How could they send troops to aid Jingzhou just because of this?
Women are still too naive.
"What if we add this?"
After hearing Cai Mao's words and seeing the sneer on his face, Mrs. Cai became angry.
Damn it! How do you know that King Chu will not send troops?
You know, King Chu is very satisfied with my wife’s body!
Mrs. Cai was still very confident about her performance that night.
However, she also understood what Cai Mao meant. It was indeed unreasonable to ask the King of Chu to send troops just because of this.
So, after adding this thing, the King of Chu will definitely send troops, right?
Others don't know what King Chu was doing in the palace that night, so how could Mrs. Cai not know?
Although King Xiang Ji of Chu did not mention it at the time, after Xiang Ji left, Mrs. Cai thought about it carefully and naturally knew the purpose of Xiang Ji's late night outing.
After all, in this palace, I am afraid that this is the only thing that can arouse the interest of King Chu and let him do the job of being a gentleman, right?
"Little sister! Are you crazy?"
Cai Hao was really shocked when he saw the jade seal that Mrs. Cai took out.
This is the national jade seal!
"Brother! I'm sure that when King Xiang Ji of Chu sees this thing, and because of my friendship with him, he will definitely send troops!"
It's just a stone, and it's a stone that has kept her alone in the boudoir for many years. Mrs. Cai hates this toy.
Now, since he can get assistance from the Chu army, Mrs. Cai will naturally make use of it.
