Chapter 786 The Death of Liu Biao
Liu Qi heard this, and then he remembered the document delivered by Ou Yue. Now he quickly took it out of his sleeve and said anxiously.
"This is my father's will. It says that Jingzhou will be handed over to me in the future, and my uncle and I will share the same political affairs! This can be proved!"
Zhuge Liang's brilliant eyes immediately burst out two pieces of light, and he said secretly in his heart.
"With this document, I can help the Lord win Jingzhou as the foundation! But now, it still takes two people to make it happen.
Zhuge Liang finished thinking about it and cast a wink at Liu Bei. Liu Bei understood it, quickly took over the document in Liu Qi's hand, opened it and read it, as Liu Qi said. Liu Biao established Liu Qi as the main one and ordered him to assist Liu Qi in common political affairs. Liu Bei then cast a wink at Zhuge Liang again, and Zhuge Liang's expression condensed, and then he said again.
"With this document, it can confirm that what the eldest son said before is true. It was a big deal, and Kong Ming had to offend him. I hope the eldest son will not care about it."
"Sir, you don't have to say much. This is about the orthodoxy of Jingzhou. Sir is so cautious that it is also the reason."
Zhuge Liang apologized, and Liu Qi hurriedly replied. Zhuge Liang immediately said again.
"My lord is deeply benefactorous to Liu Jingzhou, and the two are blood brothers. How can they see that Jingzhou will be in chaos and sit idly by? Kong Ming pleaded with the lord to send troops to Jingzhou, help the eldest son, and return to the orthodoxy of Jingzhou!"
When Liu Bei heard the words, he showed a little unbearable embarrassment and said.
"Kong Ming misunderstood me. I don't want to send troops to Jingzhou, but I hope to rush to Jingzhou in person with my nephew, stabilize the overall situation first, and tell the ministers of Jingzhou to my brother, so as not to let the political platform fall into the hands of the Cai family!"
"None! Cai's hands hold heavy power. If the lord doesn't take a soldier and rushes there in person, he will be harmed!"
"But if I send troops, it is inevitable that there will be a war. Immediately, the people of Jingzhou will suffer from the disaster of war, and the lives will be ruined. I really can't bear it! I would rather die than do harm to the people!"
Liu Bei's face was straight, and this can be said righteously. Zhuge Liang's face changed repeatedly, and there were ripples in his heart. With Liu Bei's benevolence and righteousness, Zhuge Liang is more convinced that he loves the benevolent people.
In fact, although Zhuge Liang is under the command of Liu Bei, the so-called knowledge of the population does not know the heart. Zhuge Liang was afraid that Liu Bei was the hypocrite and had never dared to help. After nearly half a year together, Zhuge Liang gradually confirmed that Liu Bei was the right choice in his mind.
Let's not talk about Zhuge Liang's thoughts for the time being.
At this time, he heard what Liu Bei said, so he pretended to be helpless and sighed.
"Let's discuss it again."
Seeing this, Liu Qi repeatedly persuaded him. Liu Bei was firm-hearted and refused to listen to advice. His attitude is clear. If he goes to Jingzhou, he will not bring troops. However, if Liu Bei did not lead the army, Zhuge Liang would not let Liu Bei take risks. Liu Qi had no choice but to be anxious secretly. After that, Pan and Zhang heard about this and felt that it was a good time to seize Jingzhou. The two were Liu Bei's brothers. They hoped that Liu Bei could take Jingzhou as the foundation. The two came to find Liu Bei, but they were scolded by Liu Bei angrily and left with shame.
Seeing that Pan and Zhang could not persuade Liu Bei, they thought that Zhuge Liang was resourceful. Liu Bei had always obeyed his words, so he came to Zhuge Liang for discussion. Zhuge Liang was not in a hurry. He stroked the goose feather fan and said softly.
"The two generals don't have to be impatient. And wait for the two of you, and the master will be willing to take Jingzhou!"
Zhuge Liang said lightly. Pan Feng and Zhang Fei were confused, but they saw Zhuge Liang's strategy and confident. The two asked in unison.
"What are the two people said by the military division?"
"It's unspeakable. I can't say."
Zhuge Liang put up the corners of his mouth, smiled mysteriously, and stepped away. Pan and Zhang looked at each other. They had long been used to Zhuge Liang's so mysteriousness, but Zhuge Liang was so sure that it showed that the world was under his control now. Pan and Zhang were very sure. They thought that Zhuge Liang had said that Liu Bei would take Jingzhou soon. They were also extremely excited. They went back separately, trained soldiers and horses, and waited for the war.
Just as Liu Bei hesitated, Liu Qi saw that the time passed day by day, and he was so anxious that he frowned. Suddenly, Kia Yue and Kia Liang came to Jingzhou with a team of people.
The two brothers, Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang, are excellent in talent and strategy. One is Jingzhou's farewell drive, which is in charge of government affairs, and the other is Jingzhou's military division, which is responsible for planning and fighting military affairs. The two brothers can be said to be the first scribes in Jingzhou, and they are deeply reused by Liu Biao.
At present, Pan and Zhang Zheng discussed with Zhuge Liang about the upcoming war, and suddenly heard that someone came to see him in Jingzhou. Zhuge Liang smiled indifferently and said to Pan and Zhang.
"This must be the two brothers, who came to see you. Everything is good! Two generals, follow me to see the lord. Don't wait a few words later, but you can act in my eyes. I look at each other, and it's just like this when you wait.
Zhuge Liang, Pan and Zhang delivered it, and they nod their heads in a row. Remember it now. Then, Zhuge Liang, Pan Feng and Zhang Fei rushed to the county government office lobby.
It happened to be heard that the two brothers, Kai Yue and Kailiang, were announcing the documents. The content of the two documents was actually ordered by Liu Biao to transfer 20,000 soldiers and horses from Xinye. At the same time, he was temporarily removed from Liu Qi's post of Jiangxia County, and asked him to rush back to Jingzhou immediately and wait for him.
As soon as Zhang Fei heard this, his anger suddenly surged up and he was about to shout. Pan Feng immediately stopped it and motioned him to see Zhuge Liang deal with it like this first. Don't act rashly and miss a big deal. Zhang Fei gritted his teeth and held back first.
Liu Bei and Liu Qi's faces changed greatly and took over the document. At this time, Zhuge Liang stepped in, and Pan Feng and Zhang Fei followed behind one left and one right.
"Ha ha. The two Minggongs must be tired after a long journey. I have sent someone to clean a clean house in the city, and asked the two Minggongs to rest first. When the banquet is set up tonight, we will invite two Ming Gong to have a banquet to wash away the dust.
Zhuge Liang said with a smile. The two of them frowned, and they looked different. Kakue's eyes are solemn, as if he has something on his mind, but he wants to stop talking. There was an inexplicable pain in his eyes, and at the same time, he seemed to have some concerns and did not want to stay in Xinye.
Zhuge Liang saw the change in their mood. Without waiting for Kui Yue and Kua Liang to answer, he ordered the left and right arrangements. Kui Yue and Kui Liang refused. After saying goodbye to Liu Bei, they went with the soldiers.
Kua Yue and Kua Liang just left. Liu Qi couldn't help but be anxious and knelt down to Liu Bei.
"Uncle! My father will not be able to issue such documents. These two documents must be written by Cai Mao! Presumably my father is under his control at this time. If my uncle doesn't go to the army again, how can he regret it!?"
Liu Bei sighed long and said to Liu Qi.
"Kui Yue and Kua Liang are all important ministers of Jingzhou. These two brothers are all famous scholars in Jingzhou. This time, it is decreed by his two brothers. How can this be fake? What's more, you are the son of man. At present, my brother is in danger. It's reasonable for you to go back and wait!"
"But why did my father want to take my uncle's military power!"
Liu Qi seemed to have hit Liu Bei's pain. Liu Bei trembled all over and said bitterly.
"Maybe my brother saw his life and listened to the previous rumors. He was afraid that I would take the opportunity to seize Jingzhou, so he would take my military power."
As soon as Liu Bei's words fell, Zhuge Liang silently wink at Pan Feng. Pan Feng understood and immediately stepped forward and said in a condensed voice.
"Brother, this is not good. According to my brother's opinion, this must be secretly manipulated by Cai Dejiu!"
When Liu Bei saw that it was Pan Feng, his expression condensed, and then asked again.
"How does the second brother meet?"
"Kai Yue and Kai Liang are all from the family. The people of the family have always been the first to take the interests of the family. At this time, Jingzhou is about to be in chaos, and the Cai family is in control of Jingzhou. In order to protect the interests of the Shi family, they voted under Cai Mao.
"Kai Yue and Kuai Liang are all loyal and righteous people. How can they do such a rebellious thing!"
"Brother, don't forget the story of Chen Yuanlong in Xuzhou in the past. At the beginning, in order to protect the interests of his clan, Chen Yuanlong defected to Cao Cao, so his brother lost Xuzhou. Today's Erkui is like Chen Yuanlong in the past!"
The loss of Xuzhou has always been a pain in Liu Bei's heart. As soon as Pan Feng said this, Liu Bei's face changed dramatically. At this moment, Zhuge Liang wink at Zhang Fei again.
Zhang Fei immediately pulled and shouted.
"Brother, why do you think so much? Brother, I'm going to find the brothers, interrogate them, and you will know the truth!!"
Zhang Feihuan's eyes were wide open. He said and did it, and he was about to leave. Liu Bei quickly ordered Pan Feng to stop him and scolded him harshly.
"This is a reckless man's behavior! Erqi are all important ministers of Jingzhou. If the third brother is like this, he will only trap me with unkindness and injustice!"
Zhuge Liang has been secretly watching the situation. At this time, his face suddenly condensed, stepped out and said politely.
"The Lord is angry. If the lord really takes the order and hands over 20,000 soldiers and horses to Er Kui's hand, Xinye's troops will be empty. At that time, Cai Mao is really evil-hearted, and the new field will be in danger. Therefore, the three generals were worried and straightforward, which was also acceptable. Liang just looked at Er Kyou's face secretly and found that there were many strangeness in it. Therefore, Liang also feels that there must be an amazing secret in this!"
Liu Bei was shocked when he heard the words and quickly asked Zhuge Liang.
"What should I do?"
"The two views are all hidden in their hearts. The master might as well have a try to see if he can find out what's on their mind?"
"According to what Kong Ming said, how to explore?"
Zhuge Liang had thought about it for a long time and looked at Liu Qi in a blink of an eye. Then everyone also turned their eyes away. Zhuge Liang taught such a trick. After hearing this, everyone felt that Zhuge Liang's plan was wonderful. So everyone acted according to the plan and prepared for each other.
At night, Liu Bei sent someone to invite Erkuai to the government office for a banquet. Everyone sat down, and Zhuge Liang, Pan Feng and Zhang Fei toasted to Er Kui frequently. Er Kui couldn't resist and drank a lot.
After three rounds of drinking, the two of them felt drunk. The two brothers looked at each other and wanted to take the opportunity to leave. Liu Bei and Zhuge took a look and understood. Zhuge Liang then cast a wink at the soldiers hidden behind the screen.
Then he walked to the backyard and was about to get out of the back door. Suddenly, the wind was blowing, and a dark shadow flew by. Second, he was shocked and looked at it, but he didn't see it. They all thought it was drunk and was about to step.
A hurricane hit, and a door on the side opened suddenly with a bang. I saw that he was dressed in white and his hair was loose, and his white clothes were covered with blood. He didn't know if it was a ghost. He stretched out his hands and moaned and walked slowly towards Er Kuai.
Erkui was so scared that he ran away and turned into the back hall. He saw that Liu Bei and others were still having a banquet. When Liu Bei saw that Ercui's face was pale, he asked him what was going on. Before the second edict, Zhuge Liang said with a smile.
