Chapter 183 Duke Qiao's Compromise

For Liu Qi, Pang Tong has some hope after all. Not only because Liu Qi could reverse his situation in a short time and successfully control Jingzhou, but also because of the conditions offered by Liu Qi, the official military reform mentioned by Liu Qi is a little far away. After all, even if Liu Qi inherited Jingzhou Pastoral at this time, he was only one of the few princes in the world today. However, it also let Pang Tong see Liu Qi's vision.

He decided to assist Liu Qi. On the one hand, it was because Liu Qi was honest enough that he did not hide anything from him. It was a fact that he said that his prestige or experience was inexperienced. Liu Qi did not hide it from him because he was afraid of his face, and he agreed with it. On the other hand, it is also because Jingzhou does have the strength to dominate the world. There are many talented people in Jingzhou, and there are hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, which is enough for Liu Qi to compete with other princes.

"In this case, how about I get an idle position under the eldest son?" Now that it has been decided, Pang Tong will not hesitate to say it immediately.

"Uh..." Liu Qi was stunned. He didn't expect Pang Tong to agree to his request so soon. Then he woke up and laughed, "Haha, Shi Yuan can't help it."

"I have met the lord." Pang Tong got up and bowed.

"Wrap up quickly." Liu Qi hurried forward and helped Pang Tong and said, "With the help of Shi Yuan, there must be a world for me, Liu Qi."

"The Lord praised it." Pang Tong bowed.

"Ha ha, there is just one thing that needs Shi Yuan's help at present." Liu Qi helped Pang Tong and told Pang Tong about the recovery of Wancheng.

"At present, only Shiyuan is suitable to pick up Ji Chang. With Jia Xu's ability, I'm afraid Ji Chang will not last long, and Shi Yuan can not attract attention but also lead Jia Xu to Xiangyang." Liu Qi looked at Pang Tongdao.

Pang Tong was a little surprised. Wancheng's importance to Jingzhou is indescribable. After recovering Jingzhou, he can attack, retreat and defend, and then Jingzhou can settle down. It is indeed a little inappropriate to hold such an important place in Zhang Xiu's hands. Once Liu Qi controls Wancheng, Cao Cao in the north will not be able to fight against Yuan Shao unscrupulously, and will definitely leave some soldiers and horses to guard against Liu Qi's sneak attack.

"Don't worry, I won't let you down." Pang Tong said gratefully.

Liu Qi gave him credit for such an important matter. Otherwise, why would so many people in Jingzhou choose him? Xu Yuanzhi alone can deal with this matter well. As soon as he defected to Liu Qi, he was a little moved by Liu Qi's trust.

"Okay, it's not difficult for Shiyuan to lead Jia Xu to Xiangyang." Liu Qi smiled.

Jia Xuzhi is no less talented than Pang Tong, and even better than it. After all, Jia Xu has changed several masters in his forties. The experience is not comparable to Pang Tong. However, even if Jia Xu's experience is no matter how old-fashioned he is, he will not expect that Liu Qi will treat him. In addition, Pang Tong's talent will lead the defenseless Jia Xu to Xiangyang. It's a good way to get it.

"I'm going to get married at the end of the month. Shi Yuan can try his best to attract Jia Xu to Xiangyang before my big wedding, so that we can take back Wancheng unexpectedly." Liu Qi looked at Pang Tongdao.

"Lord, don't worry, Jia Xu will definitely arrive in Xiangyang City before the end of the month." Pang Tong already knew that Liu Qi might have a backhand.

"Well, you will go back with me later, and I will give you a document. For the time being, you will be the official who receives Jia Xu and his party." Liu Qi said, "Do you have anything to pack?"

"My subordinates don't have anything to pack up, but I have to say goodbye to my uncle. Just tell me when the lord goes." Pang Tong arched his hand. He knew that Liu Qi was not only here for him. With that, Pang Tong saluted Liu Qi and turned away.

It was not until Pang Tong left that Liu Qi woke up. He actually forgot about Qiao Gong, and he didn't know what was going on at this time. Whether Xin Xianying persuaded Qiao Gong.

Liu Qi recruited someone to lead the way in front of him and walked towards Qiao Gong's courtyard. The figure shook along the way. Soon, Liu Qi came outside the courtyard. Standing outside the courtyard door, Liu Qi could hear the laughter in the courtyard.

Liu Qi was relieved to hear the sound of laughter. Since there was no quarrel, it should have been settled. Liu Qi motioned the maid outside the courtyard door to go in and report, and she waited outside the courtyard door.

"Big son, please come in." It didn't take long for the maid to come out and bow.

"Hmm." Liu Qi nodded and walked into the courtyard.

As soon as he entered the hospital, he saw an old man in his sixties sitting in the courtyard. When he saw Liu Qi coming in without raising his head and smiling with Da Qiao beside him, Xiao Qiao said this, and on the other side, Xin Xianying said a few words from time to time, which seemed very harmonious.

Although the old man looks white, he sits straight, his body looks extremely strong, and his eyes are also extremely full of light and full, and there is no fatigue of long-distance travel.

Liu Qi looked at Xin Xianying. Seeing that Xin Xianying nodded inexplicably, she breathed a breath, and a smile appeared on her face. Seeing that several people were talking vigorously, Liu Qi sat down next to them without disturbing them and quietly listened to what they were talking.

However, as soon as Liu Qi sat down, he saw Mr. Qiao suddenly stop. When his face, which was full of smiles, immediately became gloomy. He looked at Liu Qi coldly and said, "Who are you?" How can it be so rude?"

"Hmm?" Liu Qi turned his head and looked at Mr. Qiao. He knew that he was deliberately embarrassing him for robbing the Big Qiao sisters. He didn't care. He got up and saluted, "Liu Qi has seen Mr. Qiao."

Seeing Liu Qi's regression, the worries on the faces of Big Qiao and Xiao Qiao were slightly eased. They were really afraid that Liu Qi would be tit-for-tat with their father. If his father was so bad-tempered, he might do something else.

"Humph!" Qiao Gong snorted coldly and ignored Liu Qi.

Seeing that Qiao Gong didn't mean to let him get up at all, Liu Qi smiled and straightened up, sat down and said, "You can do whatever you want. Don't worry about me, but it's time to go back after coming out for so long. Let's talk on the way."

Speaking of Liu Qimansi, he picked up the teacup on the table and drank the tea. Mr. Qiao was about to scold Liu Qi with an angry face, but he was pulled by Big Qiao and Xiao Qiao one left and one right. Looking at the pleading eyes of the two daughters, Mr. Qiao could only sigh helplessly and was not in the mood to gossip.

"Father, let's go back." Big Joe took Qiao's hand and whispered.

"Where are you going back?" Mr. Qiao's eyes stared.

"Gong Qiao is a guest. The house has vacated the courtyard for Gong Qiao. If Gong Qiao feels inconvenient, I will order someone to buy a mansion for Gong Qiao in Xiangyang City, as long as Gong Qiao feels comfortable." Xin Xianying whispered beside him.

The golden bell-like voice made Qiao Gong look a little helpless. Why is such an excellent woman Liu Qi's fiancee? This boy's great blessing is not only that his two daughters are obedient to him, but also the extremely smart girl in front of him.

The girl in front of him just said the key point in a few words, which forced him to be speechless. He knew that such a woman's two daughters were never opponents. Except for her appearance, his two daughters were slightly inferior in other aspects. Although the two daughters are extraordinary in talent and learning, they are nothing compared with the girl in front of them. The intelligence of the girl in front of him is that he is not his opponent.

Hearing the girl's words, Qiao Gong knew why the girl in front of her became Liu Qi's wife. Without this intelligence, even if she had a marriage contract with Liu Qi, she could not compete with her daughter.

The girl's words just now were very simple, but every sentence was the point.

"Does Mr. Qiao also want to put his two daughters to a dead end for the sake of the so-called festival?"

"Although the Qiao family is a Jiangdong family, your two daughters naturally can't be a wife, but as a future princess or imperial concubine, it has not humiliated the reputation of the Qiao family at all. Does Qiao Gong really want to miss this opportunity?"

Two short sentences just hit Qiao's weakness. Seeing the decisive expression of the two daughters, Qiao knew that if he didn't agree to their marriage, he was afraid that his two daughters would really do something. He knows his two daughters very well. Although the two daughters have different personalities, they are both soft and strong. Once they have the will to die, they will not hesitate.

Later, the titles of princess and imperial concubine shocked him. Along the way with Pang Tong, Pang Tong praised Liu Qi and said that he might make a career, and Pang Degong, who was highly regarded as a high in Xiangyang, also spoke highly of Liu Qi. The princess and imperial concubine said by the girl in front of him was also It's not impossible.

This really moved him a lot. Not to mention that Liu Qi, the Huang clan, will also inherit the title of Liu Biao in the future, Cheng Wuhou. This is much better than Jiangdong Sun Ce's Wu Houke. Although the Han Dynasty is in danger now, no one can say whether Liu Qi will make it happen?

Therefore, he can't disagree with this marriage. If he doesn't agree, there is nothing left. If he agrees, he is the imperial relative (royal relative), and maybe he can become (the emperor's relative).

"The eldest son, Mr. Pang sent someone to report that he was ready and he was waiting outside the door of the house." A maid ran over.

"I know." Liu Qi nodded and stood up. Since Pang Tong was ready, it was better to leave early.

Liu Qi looked at Mr. Qiao and said, "Mr. Qiao doesn't live in the house for a while. If he is not used to living in it, I will order someone to set up a mansion outside."

Qiao Gong took a look at Liu Qi in surprise. He knew that Pang Tong and Liu Qi did not know each other, but now he heard from the maid that Pang Tong was actually waiting for Liu Qi.

When Qiao Zheng just wanted to ask, he listened to Xin Xianying beside him and said in surprise, "Congratulations, husband, add another help."

Hearing Xin Xianying's words, Qiao Gong was shocked. He knew where Liu Qi had just gone. Since Xin Xianying and others have been here for only half an hour, Liu Qi actually made Pang Tong under his command. He knew Pang Tong's talent very well. Pang Tong had already been under Liu Qi's command at this time, so Xin Xianying said that princess It is not impossible for the imperial concubine.
