Chapter 359 Wu Yi's Return

Cao Ren withdrew from Shangyong, and the news that Liangzhou soldiers and horses occupied Shangyong overnight spread quickly, and the princes all over the world were silent.

Before Cao Ren, he took the initiative to withdraw from Shangyong. Contact with Cao Cao's situation now, people all over the world have to doubt whether Cao Cao can't hold on at this time.

After more than ten days of staying with Yuan Shao, did Cao Cao really catch up with the pressure? The princes all over the world have guessed one after another.

Zitong County, Liu Qi looked at the bamboo slips in his hand in surprise. For a moment, he was a little unbelievable. After repeatedly confirming, he exhaled. Zhuge Liang and others beside him were also a little surprised and doubtful.

"Kong Ming, what do you think of this matter?" Putting down the bamboo slips in his hand, Liu Qi looked at Zhuge Liang. Cao Ren took the initiative to give up Shangyong, which surprised Liu Qi. Although there was no water or fire between Jingzhou and Cao Cao at this time, it was also tit-for-tat.

No matter how you consider it, it is impossible for Cao Cao to let Jingzhou rise. It is no secret how Liangzhou's soldiers and horses reached Shangyong. To a certain extent, Ma Chao's attack on Shangyong is also regarded as Jingzhou's attack on Shangyong. It is impossible for Cao Cao not to see this. There is no reason for Cao Cao to give up Shangyong and let the rise of Jingzhou.

"Lord, Cao Cao's move should be a decisive battle with Yuan Shao." Zhuge Liang thought for a moment and said that only when the decisive battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao was at the most critical moment would Cao Cao not allow any accidents to occur. Although he said that, Zhuge Liang's eyebrows were always locked. Even if Cao Cao did not have confidence in Cao Ren to guard Shangyong, there was no need to withdraw from Shangyong so quickly. At worst, he would retreat when he could not resist. Why did he retreat in such a hurry?

"Decisive battle?" Liu Qi was stunned and then nodded. He remembered that when Xu Shu left Jingzhou, he told him that after taking Hanzhong, he would try to let Cao Cao fight with Yuan Shao. The key to the battle of Guandu in history was that Cao Cao burned the grain and fodder that Yuan Shao hoarded in Wuchao. However, with his arrival, history has changed too much. I don't know whether the food and fodder of Yuan Shao's army was really stored in Wuchao, so did Yuan Shao really want to be so unprepared in history?

"Lord, now Shangyong has fallen into the hands of Ma Chao. Will you send someone to receive it?" Li Hui was also stunned. It was not until this time that he reacted and asked blankly.

"Receive?" Liu Qi frowned. Now Shangyong has fallen into the hands of Liangzhou soldiers and horses. I don't know if Ma Chao will hand over Shangyong to Jingzhou according to the agreement.

After thinking about it, Liu Qi turned his head and looked at Li Hui and said, "General Li went to Shangyong to inquire about this matter and asked when Ma Chao would transport the grain and fodder back to Liangzhou?"

"Uh...no." Li Hui was stunned at first, and then woke up and bowed quickly.

Jingzhou does not believe in Liangzhou, and Liangzhou will also not believe in Jingzhou. Liu Qi's doing so is equivalent to handing over the choice to Ma Chao. Shangyong and Liangzhou are separated from the counties in Hanzhong. Even if Ma Chao occupies Shangyong, it is useless. On the contrary, Jingzhou is in urgent need of Shangyong and other places now. Ma Chao will not understand this truth. Instead of occupying a useless mediocrity, it is better to exchange mediocrity from Jingzhou for something beneficial to Liangzhou.

After Li Hui left, Zhuge Liang came forward again and said, "Lord, now Liu Zhang in Yizhou has made up his mind to fight openly with the Lord. The two soldiers and horses of General Huang and General Gan have been stubbornly resisted by the soldiers and horses of Yizhou. Compared with the previous smooth journey, now the army is better. It can be said that the state is difficult to walk an inch.

Liu Qi nodded. Liu Zhang's order has spread all over Yizhou. At this time, Liu Zhang has driven Jingzhou soldiers and horses out of Yizhou at all costs.

Yizhou was originally a dangerous terrain that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. After receiving Liu Zhang's order to defend, soldiers and horses from all over the country firmly guarded all dangerous places. Although Gan Ning and Huang Zhong have maps of Yizhou in hand, it is difficult to attack one fortress after another in a short time.

Although the map given by Zhang Song makes the situation of the fortresses in Yizhou clear, there are not only a few dangerous places in Yizhou. There are several places that can be defended in almost every county and county. If the Jingzhou army wants to continue to advance, it must conquer all these fortresses.

No one can help Jingzhou at this point. Unless Jingzhou thinks of other ways to disintegrate Liu Zhang's power in Yizhou, if he wants to capture Yizhou, he must first defeat the defenders everywhere. As Liu Bei subdued Yizhou in history, it must be much more difficult for Liu Qi. Liu Qi's prestige at this time is far from letting the world's people look down.

"Lord, this is the situation of the Yizhou family collected by the brocade guards." With that, Zhuge Liang took out a bamboo slip from his arms and gave it to Liu Qi.

The simplest way to attack Yizhou is to disintegrate Liu Zhang's power from the inside. This method is the simplest and most direct way. Liu Zhang and his son have been operating in Yizhou for more than ten years, but since Liu Zhang's succession to the throne, the contradictions within Yizhou have become more and more obvious. There are only examples of fighting with each other. It is not uncommon that these are the objects that Jingzhou wants to use.

......................................................................

"General Wu, please." Outside the big tent, two brocade guards arched their hands to Wu Yi.

"This..." Wu Yi looked at the two people doubtfully. Since the sword pavilion was controlled by Jingzhou, he has been under house arrest in Jingzhou. He has not been in contact with anyone for more than ten days. This time he was suddenly brought here, which surprised him a little.

"The Lord just waits in the big account, General Wu, please." Seeing Wu Yi's doubts, one of the brocade guards reminded him.

"Liu Qi?" Wu Yi frowned, and his eyes were full of puzzles. What on earth did Liu Qi see him?

Opening the curtain, Wu Yi stepped into the big account. Although he was confused, he would not be tied up by it. Liu Qi had already done it to kill himself. Why wait until today?

As soon as he entered the big account, Wu Yi saw a young man in his twenties, looking at himself with a smile, as if he was deliberately waiting for him.

Is this person Liu Qi? See the situation in the big account without a trace. At this time, there is no one in the big account except the young man in front of him and himself. There is no doubt that the person in front of him is Liu Qi, the pastor of Jingzhou, but why is Liu Qi like this?

"I've met Lord Zhou Mu." Wu Yi bowed and saluted.

"General Wu, please get up." Liu Qi raised his hand slightly and said with a smile.

"Can General Wu know the current situation in Yizhou?" Liu Qi turned around and sat down to signal Wu Yi to sit down together, and then asked.

"I don't know at the end." Wu Yi shook his head.

Liu Qi nodded, pushed a few bamboo slips on the table to Wu Yi, and asked Wu Yi to check it visually.

"Hmm?" A little surprised, Wu Yi picked up the bamboo slips on the table and looked at them. He frowned at a glance, and his face couldn't help but be a little gloomy.

Liu Zhang actually blamed the Wu family because of himself. Although he had long known that Liu Zhang was likely to be angry with the Wu family, when he saw this order, the anger in his heart could not be suppressed.

Since Liu Yan came to Yizhou, the Wu family has fully supported Liu Yan. After Liu Zhang succeeded to the throne, the Wu family has helped Liu Zhang stabilize the major families in Yizhou, so that Liu Zhang can take the position of pastoral in Yizhou. Now Liu Zhang is actually angry with the Wu family because of the sword pavilion, regardless of the past feelings.

Although the Wu family is a Yizhou family, it has a very close relationship with Liu Zhang and his son over the years, so it is not accepted by the Yizhou family. It is often the spokesperson of Liu Zhang and his son in the family, helping Liu Zhang appease the major families and coordinate the relationship between the major families. It can be said that Liu Zhang and his son can have today, Wu Shiyi The achievements of the clan are indispensable.

And the bamboo slip also said that he had died in the line of duty, which did not make Liu Zhang feel pity and appeased the Wu family. Instead, he directly turned against the Wu family and forced the Wu family into a dead end.

Without the support of Liu Zhang and being rejected by the Yizhou family, the situation of the Wu family at this time can be imagined.

Holding his fist tightly, Wu Yi read the bamboo slips on the table one by one. What is recorded on each bamboo slip is the suppression of the Wu family in Yizhou, but the anger in his eyes can no longer be suppressed, and the bamboo slips on the table fell to the ground with a bang.

"Drip-on..."

The sound shocked the brocade guards outside the big tent, and immediately several brocade guards suddenly rushed in and looked at Wu Yi with a long knife in their hands. After confirming that Liu Qi had nothing to do, they were all relieved.

"There's nothing here. You can wait." Liu Qi waved his hand.

"No." Although they were puzzled, everyone bowed and retreated.

After everyone left, Liu Qi looked at Wu Yi and said, "Now Yizhou has an abnormal rejection of Jingzhou. If you want to take Yizhou as soon as possible, you must start from the inside of Yizhou. I think the general already knows the current situation of the Wu family. Although it is because of the sword pavilion, with Liu Zhang's temperament, even if there is no sword pavilion, it will do the same to the Wu family when the Wu family makes other mistakes. The general should think clearly about how to choose.

Hearing Liu Qi's words, Wu Yi's anger in his eyes subsided slightly, and he was helpless. He knew that Liu Qi was telling the truth. The Wu family was too dazzling in Yizhou over the years, which had already made Liu Zhang afraid. Even if there was no today's event, Liu Zhang would look for other excuses to suppress the Wu clan.

Although the Wu family will not take the initiative to betray Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang is now the first to be unrighteous. It is not too much for the Wu family to choose in the future

"The last general has met the master." Wu Yi took a deep breath and immediately fell to the ground. Jingzhou's attack on Yizhou has become a fore. At this time, the princes of the world are busy expanding themselves and have no spare time to manage the affairs of Yizhou. It seems that it is the only choice for the Wu family to turn to Liu Qi.

"General, please get up." Liu Qi smiled.

"I don't know what the master will do, what do you hope will do?" Wu Yi arched his hand.

"Although today's Yizhou looks like an iron plate, this is just a superficial phenomenon. In fact, the Yizhou family has been restless for a long time. What I want you to do is to attract the family that Yizhou can use for me, provoke the relationship between those ghost families and Liu Zhang, and make Yizhou become lax. Civil strife." Liu Qi stood up and said.
