Compared to the silence of the Jingzhou faction, everyone on the Liu Bei faction looked at each other, feeling very surprised.

"Thank you, eldest son. I'll go first then."

So this is why Liu Bei promised his Dongzhou soldiers before the Battle of Pingting and told them to take them back to Xichuan after the battle.

But the earnest look in his eyes already gave the answer.

After that, their strategy became to help Liu Qi obtain Jingzhou, and then with Liu Qi's help, send troops to Bashu to obtain Yizhou, join forces with Liu Qi, attack Jiangdong, and then attack Cao Cao in the north.

The people below were all Liu Qi's group speaking out. Zhuge Liang and the others wanted to speak out, but they certainly weren't so shameless, so they all remained silent.

They found that Liu Qi's calculation was right.

Huang She hurriedly got up to say goodbye and left, quickly ran out of the mansion and prepared to go to Jingling immediately.

Although he has not spoken directly now, Deng Hong and Liu Xian may represent his thoughts.

The situation in Jingzhou is not very good either.

Seeing that Liu Bei was still unable to agree, Deng Hong, who had not expressed his position at the bottom, suddenly said: "The young master is currently ill and cannot handle state affairs. The state still needs a mastermind for all matters in the state. I also ask General Zuo to take care of Linzhou affairs and stabilize the people of Jingzhou."

.”

With such a big heart, even Guan Yu, who has always been proud and arrogant, couldn't help but praise Liu Qi in his heart that Liu Qi is a real man!

Liu Xian also stood up and said: "Exactly, even if General Zuo has no intention of seizing the inheritance of the same clan, he should at least help the young master manage the state capital first, and wait for the eldest young master to recover well before making other plans."

Only Zhuge Liang glanced at Shen Chen, who was sitting opposite him, looking like Liu Qi's confidant. He thought to himself that Liu Qi could have such a high level of ideological consciousness. He would never have thought of it, and he was probably the only one who could have such a high level of ideological consciousness.

.

Liu Qi continued: "Therefore, if Jingzhou is in the hands of my second brother, it will be doomed. I teamed up with brother Xuande to attack Zhonglin because I didn't want my father's foundation to be destroyed in his hands. If I left it alone, I'm afraid Jingzhou would have been destroyed by now."

Divided between Cao Cao and Sun Quan."

If even he supports Liu Bei, it seems that Liu Bei's entry into Jingzhou is indeed a sure thing.

When Liu Cong came to power, Liu Qi, who had no heirs, actually had a reason not to fight with his brother for the position of Lord of Jingzhou.

Everyone was silent for a moment, and the place was completely silent.

"If this is the case, then why does the eldest son need to do this?"

This caused Longzhong's plan to capture Xichuan first, then wait for Liu Biao's death, and then seize Jingzhou when there was civil strife in Jingzhou to come to nothing.

Historically, Zhuge Liang suggested that Liu Bei take over Jingzhou by force when passing by Xiangyang. He certainly did not recommend that Liu Bei turn down such a golden opportunity.

After all, as Liu Qi said, Liu Cong and Liu Xiu were useless, and Liu Qi himself was in poor health, so letting Liu Bei take power would not be a bad thing.

However, Liu Qi said seriously: "Everyone, I want to ask you, in the hands of my second brother, Jingzhou can really be like my father. It can reject Cao Cao in the north, attack Sun Quan in the east, defend Liu Zhang in the west, and secure Jiaozhi in the south.

?”

And Shen Chen is only twenty-two years old this year, and he is likely to become the leader of Jingzhou in the future.

Liu Qi turned to look at Liu Bei and said to him: "Brother Xuande, everyone with eyesight in the world can see that if the emperor didn't have the clan like us waving the flag and shouting, Cao Cao would have usurped the throne long ago. However, the clan is getting weaker and weaker, and Liu Jiyu is the slave of the family.

Unfortunately, my second brother is being held by a traitor, and I am seriously ill and will not die soon. Today, the clan can only rely on Brother Xuande to revitalize the ancestral business."

After he left, Liu Qi said to Liu Bei: "Brother, both Duke Yuanyang and I are seriously ill, and we don't know when we will die. I also ask my brother to take care of Linzhou affairs and act as an agent for Jingzhou affairs."

Liu Qi smiled and said: "I am afraid that Mr. Yuanyang is more seriously ill than me. He is lying in Jingling and can no longer get out of bed."

"this"

The woman, who was probably in her twenties, with a high belly, came over with the help of the maid, carefully knelt down beside Liu Qi, and whispered: "Husband."

Liu Bei shed tears at this moment and said in pain: "I heard that there is a miracle doctor named Zhang Ji in Jingzhou. If we can find this person, we may be able to save you. My dear brother, you should take a good rest. Jingzhou still needs your dear brother to take charge. I

How can I overstep my authority?"

Liu Qi said to Liu Bei: "Brother Xuande, I entrusted Jingzhou to you not only for the great cause of our surname Liu, but also for some selfish reasons. I am seriously ill and don't have much time left. Fortunately, in July last year, I left Jingzhou.

My concubine, Wan'er, was pregnant and was about to give birth. I felt that I might not be able to see my unborn child, so whether it was a boy or a girl, I entrusted them, mother and child, to my brother and my two

Incompetent younger brother. If in the future my elder brother can use the land of Jingzhou to successfully defeat Cao Cao in the north and revive the Han Dynasty, I hope that my elder brother can remember the past friendship with my foolish brother. My wife, children, and those two younger brothers will all rely on my elder brother to take care of me."

Liu Qi was overjoyed and said: "In that case, take my Jingzhou seal."

Everyone was shocked when they saw this scene.

Liu Qi coughed softly again, blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, then turned his head to the ear chamber behind the screen on the right and called: "Wan'er."

Liu Bei looked at the audience hesitantly.

Liu Qi explained: "It was Duke Yuanyang who asked me not to tell you. He said that you were in Zhangling to help Brother Xuande deal with Cao Cao. To avoid your distraction, he asked me to conceal the matter. But now that the war has subsided, you can hurry up

If we go to Jingling to visit, it would be best to bring Duke Yuanyang to Xiangyang and ask for help from a famous doctor in Xiangyang."

Many state governments have spoken out one after another.

Liu Yan's successor Liu Zhang was incompetent and was attacked by his slave Zhang Lu. Now he has invaded Chengdu. Maybe it won't be long before Yizhou will be captured by Zhang Lu.

Immediately, a servant came to fetch the seal.

The result was that Zhuge Liang missed a step and Liu Biao died before Liu Bei captured Bashu.

Later, seeing that he was about to die soon, he gave Jingzhou, which he had finally obtained, to Liu Bei, in order to ensure that the Liu family could continue to exist and that the ancestral foundation would remain intact.

It can be seen that although these people had previously worked for Liu Cong, in fact, it did not matter to them whether it was Liu Cong or Liu Qi, as long as Liu Biao's heirs were in charge of Jingzhou.

Below, Huang Zu's son Huang She was shocked when he heard about this and said: "Eldest son, my father is seriously ill? Why didn't anyone tell me?"

Liu Bei quickly stood up and walked over, kneeling down next to Liu Qi. Seeing that his face was pale and weak, he immediately shouted: "Send the doctor quickly."

The so-called brand seal refers to two things, one is a brand, and the other is a seal.

Liu Qi entrusted these two things to Liu Bei, which was equivalent to handing over the power of Jingzhou into his hands.

However, Liu Bei insisted that he was only managing it on his behalf and was not seeking to seize the same clan's inheritance. Therefore, Liu Bei has not yet legitimately taken control of Jingzhou.

However, with the card seal in hand, he can call upon the entire army in Jingzhou. He is in charge of it in name only, but in fact he has become the highest authority in Jingzhou, with nearly 200,000 troops, all in his hands!

Good news, brothers, if everything goes well, they will go back tomorrow. The fastest will be two updates tomorrow, and the slowest will be the day after tomorrow, and then there will be a continuous two to three updates of 10,000 words a day. This month has been full of twists and turns, but fortunately it is getting through.
