Chapter 217 Covenant

Seeing Liu Biao's attitude, Ju Shu felt that it would be difficult to complete the task on this trip to Xiangyang. However, how did Liu Qi decide? He still needed to ask before he could decide, so Ju Shu left the state pastoral mansion and went straight to Liu Qi's mansion.

There was not much time for Ju Shu to rush to Liu Qi's house. At this time, Liu Qizheng, Xu Shuzheng and Zhuge Liang discussed when Zhuge Liang would leave Xiangyang.

Hearing that Ju Shu came, Liu Qi naturally knew the reason why Ju Shu came to Xiangyang, and the three invited Ju Shu into the study together.

"I don't know what the father-in-law and the gentleman are looking for?" Liu Qi looked at Ju Shu, who looked a little anxious, and asked.

"The eldest son, I came to Xiangyang for the purpose of my lord's alliance with Jingzhou. At this time, I still need to make a decision. Please give the next accurate answer based on the overall situation." Ju Shu didn't talk nonsense and said directly.

"Oh, hasn't the father decided?" Liu Qi was a little surprised to say that although he had some say in the matter of Jingzhou, Liu Biao would not be handed over to him.

"I have asked General Zhennan. General Zhennan said that the affairs of Jingzhou have been handed over to the eldest son, so he will come to look for the eldest son." Ju Shu has calmed down at this time. No matter how Liu Qi decides, he has decided that he can't rely on Jingzhou to defeat Cao Cao, otherwise the gains will outweigh the losses.

"This..." Liu Qi hesitated and looked at Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu. Seeing Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu shaking their heads at the same time, Liu Qi already had an answer in her heart.

"Mr. Gong and Sir, I'm afraid I can't promise you at this time." Liu Qi looked at Ju Shu with a serious face.

"Oh, why?" Ju Shu didn't expect Liu Qi to decide this matter in such a short time.

"Ha ha, I think Mr. Gong and Mr. Jingzhou should be very clear about the situation in Jingzhou. Now Jingzhou is worried about internal and external troubles. If he rushes to fight with Cao Cao, it will definitely be Jingzhou who will suffer losses in the end, and Jiangdong is also staring at Jiangxia. Once Jingzhou is slack, Jiangdong will definitely take advantage of the situation to attack it. At that time, where should Jingzhou go? ? " Liu Qi sighed.

In fact, the situation in Jingzhou is far from as complicated as he said. Although there are internal and external problems, he has countermeasures. Although Jiangdong Sun Ce may use troops against Jingzhou at the appropriate time, there is Wenren, Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun are there. Jiangdong doesn't have to worry, and the internal Cai Mao and others have long been under his surveillance. Once the wind blows, he will immediately dispatch Feihuwei to uproot the Cai family.

"Well, although what the eldest son said is reasonable, the eldest son should have a countermeasure, and how can Liu Jingzhou not keep his hand after operating in Xiangyang for more than ten years? It can be said that the alliance with my lord is beneficial but harmless to Jingzhou. Why did the eldest son refuse?" Ju Shu sighed that he knew that this matter was not so easy, but he didn't expect Liu Qi to refuse as soon as he came up.

"The public is joking with Mr. Jizhou. Although there are some benefits to the alliance with Jizhou, there are also many harms, and the benefits are relatively few compared to the harm." Liu Qi shook his head.

"Oh, how can I see it?" Ju Shu looked at Liu Qi in surprise.

"Ha ha, I asked my husband, I don't know how much I won in Jizhou in this battle with Cao Cao?" Liu Qi asked.

"Ha ha, although Cao Cao's strength is not as good as the master, there are many. If you calculate it, you should have an 80% chance of winning." Ju Shu was silent for a while.

"I think Jizhou only has a 30% chance of winning." Liu Qi said without hesitation.

"Hmm?" Ju Shu looked at Liu Qi in surprise. Even if it is counted the disadvantages of Jizhou in all aspects, Jizhou has a 60% chance of winning, which is really too different from the 30% chance of winning mentioned by Liu Qi.

"I know you don't believe it, but I heard that the soldiers and horses in Jizhou have been exhausted for years, and the interior is unstable. If it is a battle with Cao Cao this time, although there is a chance to win, if Cao Cao defends a city and does not fight with you. When the soldiers and horses in Jizhou are exhausted, a general will be sent to burn food and fodder, and hundreds of thousands of troops in Jizhou will die in an instant. At that time, Yuan Benchu's command will fall apart. I'm afraid it will not be far from extinction. Liu Qi shook his head.

This is the result of the battle of Guandu in history, but Liu Qi still needs to use the battle of Guandu to plan for Jingzhou, so he will not let Yuan Shao lose so easily. Moreover, if Yuan Shao is defeated, he will send troops to attack Xu Du without Yuan Shao's urging him, and he will never let Cao Cao kill him by Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao can't do anything in a short time to contain Cao Cao.

"This..." Ju Shu was shocked. Liu Qi said that it was Yuan Shao's weakness. Once the army was overthrown, Yuan Shao's forces would collapse overnight. At that time, Cao Cao only needed to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and the Jizhou forces would definitely fall into Cao Cao's hands.

"Thank you for reminding me." Ju Shu solemnly saluted Liu Qi.

Even Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu, who looked at Liu Qi, were full of surprise. Although this strategy was difficult, ordinary people could not think of it, and Liu Qi was able to grasp Jizhou's forces so accurately in Jingzhou, which really surprised them a little.

"I have a condition that if you agree, it is not impossible for Jingzhou to form an alliance with Jizhou." Liu Qi said and looked at Ju Shu expectantly.

"What are the conditions? Although the eldest son opened his mouth, if he can do it, he will certainly not disappoint the eldest son. Ju Shu looked at Liu Qi solemnly and said that Liu Qi thought of this scheme so easily. It can be seen that it is extraordinary. It is really lucky to have such an ally.

"Ha ha, Mr. Gong and Mr. will definitely be able to do it." After Liu Qi finished speaking, he looked at Ju Shu with a smile and said, "If Jingzhou forms an alliance with Jizhou, Yuan Benchu will still be defeated, and this reason is not the fault of Jingzhou. The rest of his life will be spent in Jingzhou with Mr. and General Gao Lan. I don't know if you can do it?"

Liu Qi is bound to get Ju Shu, and there are also Gao Lan, Gao Lan is as famous as Yan Liangwen Chou, and Zhang Jian.

Although Liu Qi's strength has begun to be successful, who will think that there are few talents? Ju Shu is the top counselor under Yuan Shao's command. Cao Cao even compared him to Zhang Liang and Chen Ping. If Yuan Shao can listen to Ju Shu's advice, the world may belong to Yuan Shao.

"Is the eldest son joking?" Ju Shu was a little disbelief. After he thought that after Jingzhou formed an alliance with Jizhou, as long as Jingzhou would send troops at the appropriate time, Cao Cao would undoubtedly be defeated, and the winning face could be regarded as 90%. And Liu Qi actually used that one to bet on the future of Jingzhou. At this time, Ju Shu didn't know whether he should be happy about his position in Liu Qi's heart or whether he was happy that Liu Qi could exchange him for such a big price.

"If Mr. Gong and Mr. agree to my terms, I can form an alliance with Jizhou. If Mr. Gong and Mr. don't believe it, I can make an early alliance with Mr. Gong and Mr. now." Liu Qi said and ordered Zhuge Liang to write an alliance.

"I believe it." Ju Shu sighed and said, "I agree to the eldest son's terms."

Although there are a lot of failures, it is nothing compared with the chances of winning. What's more, even if Cao Cao's command can come out one after another, he is not a vegetarian, and Tian Feng and others should not make trouble at this time.

"Okay, then I will ask Yuanzhi and Mr. Gong and Mr. Jizhou to go to Jizhou together. If Mr. Gong and Mr. have any requirements, as long as they meet the content of the agreement, they can send Yuan Zhi's people back to Jingzhou, and Jingzhou will definitely follow the plan." Liu Qi said and pointed to Xu Shudao beside him.

He didn't let Xu Shu go to Jizhou to do such a small thing. There are so many generals and counselors under Yuan Shao. He only needs Xu Shu to walk around often, and he will definitely be able to stay with some people back.

"I'm afraid it's not appropriate. How can Yuanzhi be so big to run for such a small thing?" Ju Shu immediately felt that something was wrong. Xu Shu had a high status in Liu Qi's heart. If there was nothing important, how could he leave Jingzhou? There must be something important to do when he arrives in Jizhou. Can he make Xu Shu more trouble?

"Mr. Gong and Mr. Yu rest assured that Yuan until Jizhou will not cause trouble to Mr. Gong and Mr. Gong and Mr. just just want to fulfill his promise. Jizhou is thousands of miles away from Jingzhou. If there is anything to do with Mr. Gong and Mr. Gong and Mr., I don't have time to help." Liu Qi shook his head.

"Well, in that case, let's go back and draft the covenant." When Ju Shu saw Liu Qi's insistence, he agreed. At worst, he went to Jizhou to monitor Xu Shu, and said that Ju Shu was about to leave.

"Ha ha, don't worry, Mr. Kong Ming has already written the covenant." A loud sound sounded, and Zhuge Liang beside him had put down the pen, dried the ink, picked it up and looked at it and handed it to Ju Shu.

As a result of Ju Shu's surprise, the bamboo slips sprinkled thousands of words on the bamboo slips and criticized Cao Cao completely. Finally, he talked about the covenant between Jingzhou and Jizhou. There were no conditions for exchanging with Ju Shu just now.

Holding Zhu Jian Ju Shu was very surprised. Such gorgeous words and such sharp words could not be compared with even Chen Lin.

At this time, Ju Shu carefully looked at the 20-year-old young man in front of him. He had seen the power of the young man at the wedding, but the young man's performance at this time surprised him. It was really rare to write this thousand-word covenant in such a short time, and his words were sharp. The quality brightened his eyes.

"Ha ha, the eldest son's command is really full of people." Ju Shu sighed.

First, Xu Shu put down the rebellion to resist the Jiangdong army, and then Pang Tong's strange soldiers took back Wancheng. Now Zhuge Liang has such talent. With such achievements in just a few months, even if Liu Qi can't win the world, he will become a prince.

"Mr. Gong and Mr. Yu praised it." Zhuge Liang arched his hand.

"Isn't the eldest son afraid that I will go back on my word?" Ju Shu was a little surprised when he looked at the covenant. Although it was a little ridiculous to write the conditions on the covenant, Liu Qi trusted him so much that he felt comfortable.

"Ha ha, sir is not a man who eats his word." Liu Qi smiled.

"Haha, well, let's rely on the words of the eldest son. If his day is really like what the eldest son said, I will come to Xiangyang to live." This time, what Ju Shu said was from the bottom of his heart.
