"Jiangdong has recruited talents in recent years. I heard that Lu Su has been added, and the number of generals has also increased a lot. The newly appointed governor, Zhou Gongjin, is Sun Ce's sworn brother. He is young, but quite deceitful. Jiang Xia has more bad luck than good luck."

The ministers talked a lot and expressed concern.

"Jiangxia is an important place in Jingzhou, looking south to Jiangdong, accumulates money and grain, and must not give up... If you give up Jiangxia, Jingzhou will lose a vital base to the south, and Jiangdong will occupy Jiangxia, which will pose a serious problem to Jingzhou's confidants!" Hajiu said sharply.

"Hayue is right." Cai Mao said. "I can't give up Jiang Xia."

When the ministers saw what Cai Mao had said, some agreed, while others did not speak.

But seeing that Liu Qi has long been impatient, just because of etiquette, he is still sitting upright, in fact, he has already lost his mind. Usually Liu Qi didn't participate in the discussions. It was Liu Biao and the ministers discussing it. He listened. In addition, there have been not many wars in Jingzhou in recent years, so there are not many large-scale discussions.

"Liu Qi, what do you think?" Liu Biao suddenly called his name.

Liu Qi was startled, stood up in a hurry, hurriedly gave a salute, and made a mess. "Yes, father. The matter of Jiangxia..." Liu Qi's face turned red as he spoke, and he didn't know what to say, so he could only stammer.

There were faint snickers in the hall, mostly from Liu Cong's faction.

Liu Bei was a little anxious. He had planned to immediately propose that Liu Qi send troops out and follow him. Unexpectedly, Liu Biao ordered Liu Qi first. If Liu Qi stammered and couldn't say it, how could Liu Bei propose it?

Liu Qi was flustered and at a loss, looked at Yi Ji, glanced at Liu Bei, and Liu Bei made a secret wink. Liu Qi was stunned for a long time, then he suddenly said in a dazed, word-by-word voice, "My boy is willing to lead troops to Jiangxia!"

The ministers were shocked. Although this may seem simple, it is quite powerful. The son obviously skipped the endless arguments and quarrels, directly recommended himself, and led the troops to fight against the Jiangdong people! That is to say, the son thinks it is only right and proper to keep Jiang Xia.

Sure enough, Liu Biao was stunned for a moment, and then showed a somewhat satisfied smile.

"Young master went to Jiangxia, of course, this is a courageous thing, but... Jiangdong is like a cloud of fierce generals, and he has a lot of power. If you go alone, it is obviously impossible to deal with..." Yi Ji came out and looked at Liu Bei.

This Yi Ji is building a bridge for himself, and also looking for help for the son to go to Jiangxia smoothly. Liu Bei didn't want to think about it, he really couldn't miss the opportunity, so he got up and saluted: "I would like to assist the young master to go there, share the worries for the elder brother, and ensure that Jiang Xia is in the hands of the elder brother."

This suggestion was something that the ministers did not expect. Previously, everyone just thought that Liu Biao was testing Liu Qi, and Liu Qi had a lot of appearances. Unexpectedly, Liu Qi answered a stunned but powerful sentence. Everyone thought that Liu Qi was lucky and passed. But no one thought that Liu Qi would really be able to lead troops to Jiangxia, this was just an attitude. Unexpectedly, this Liu Bei stood up and said that he was willing to assist Liu Qi to go to Jiangxia! The ministers were suddenly stunned.

Cai Mao was the first to react. This Liu Bei was staying well in Xinye, why did he rush to Jiangxia? Jiang Xia is an important place. If Liu Bei is occupied, it will be worth it?

Cai Mao hurriedly went out and said, "Uncle Liu is a guest, so how can he play at will, and Xinye's defense against Cao Cao in the north is an important task. Without the uncle, the northern part of Jingzhou will be worrying..."

"Cao Cao's army is in Hebei, how to return to Xinye!" Before Liu Bei could answer, Yi Ji immediately retorted. "Uncle Huang and my lord Liu Jingsheng are brothers of the same clan, originally a family, how to divide the host and guest!"

"This..." Cai Mao was at a loss for words.

"Report! Jiangxia urgent report!" The sergeant outside the door reported.

"Bring it up!" Liu Biao said.

"General Huang Zu asked for help again, urging the Jingzhou army to set off soon, otherwise Jiangxia will not be guaranteed!"

Liu Biao's expression changed: "Uncle Liu proposed, do you have any comments?" He glanced coldly at the ministers. Seeing Liu Biao's expression, all the ministers bowed their heads and said nothing. Cai Mao knew that this was a critical moment. If he couldn't stop it at this time, Liu Bei would really infuse Jiangxia with his power. Nai bit his head and said: "Jiangxia is the important place! It is absolutely impossible! Jiangxia is an isolated city for Jiangdong, and Jiangdong is powerful, so it is not appropriate to send your son and uncle there. It is dangerous to go..."

"Then General Cai, are you going?" Liu Biao asked.

Cai Mao was stunned for a moment. He usually trains navy divisions, and it's okay to play with power, but he leads troops to fight... Cai Mao knows that Zhou Gongjin and Cheng Puhan are so powerful as ordinary people. To kill is to be captured. ".'This..." Cai Mao hesitated, unable to speak.

"You all know..." Liu Biao seemed very dissatisfied, "that Cheng Puhan was a veteran who followed Sun Jian, and he was very brave. Zhou Yu, Jiang Qin, and Zhou Tai all followed Sun Ce and fought hard in Jiangdong. Yes. The little overlord Sun Ce led three thousand Huaisi elite troops into Jiangdong. In less than a year, the foundation has been set. The lord is the hero, and the generals are fierce. At that time, the princes were shaken. Now Jiangdong has accumulated three generations. , there are more than 7,000 warships, hundreds of thousands of water and army. It is really powerful. Now that Jiangdong is expanding northward, only Liu Huangshu has stepped forward and is willing to assist the young son to go on an expedition, not afraid of strong enemies. If you think it is inappropriate for Huangshu to go to Jiangxia, then please ask , Does anyone dare to take the place of Uncle Huang to fight with Jiang Dong? Is there any?!" Liu Biao angrily scolded and glanced at everyone.

(De Nuo's) There was a deadly silence in the hall, all the ministers bowed their heads, and no one dared to speak.

"Please ask Liu Huangshu to be the commander, and the son Liu Qi to be the supervisor. Immediately lead the army of 100,000 water and army to help Jiangxia!" Liu Biao ordered loudly when he saw that there was no answer.

"No... Brother, this minister is just to assist the young master, how to be the head coach... How to convince the public." Liu Bei said hurriedly. "I also asked the son to be handsome, and I would like to bring the headquarters to do the work of dogs and horses. Only when the son is handsome can I convince the public."

"Xuande doesn't need to refuse." Liu Biao waved his hand.

"My son is on the expedition for the first time, and the eldest son is supposed to be a handsome man. I can ask the uncle to guide him." Yi Ji said.

"Alright..." Liu Biao said slowly, "Liu Qi, you can be handsome, but when leading troops, you must ask the emperor for advice on everything, and you must not make up your own mind!"

"Yes, father, I wrote it down." Liu Qi hurriedly agreed. .

Chapter 88 Childbirth should be like Sun Zhongmou

Where to look at Shenzhou? Eyes full of scenery Beigulou. How many things have happened through the ages? long. The endless flow of the Yangtze River. Young Wandousun, sitting down the southeast war has not ended. Who are the heroes of the world? Cao Liu. Having a son should be like Sun Zhongmou.

——Xin Qiji's "Nanxiangzi·Dengjingkou Beiguting has a pregnant heart"

Hundreds of warships were cruising on the Yangtze River, and small boats shuttled in the middle. The big boat in the middle is the flagship, with a big "Sun" character on it.

The Yangtze River came from the Snow Mountains, reached the middle and lower reaches, and made a bend. Linjiang is an important place, which is Baling (later called Yueyang). There is a lake next to Baling, coexisting with the Yangtze River, it is Dongting Lake. The 800-mile-long Dongting is surrounded by white water, and the navy base in Jingzhou has nearly 100,000 navy troops stationed here. Meng Haoran, a great scholar of later generations, has a poem saying: The steam evaporates the clouds and dreams, and the waves shake the city of Yueyang. It is said that the water vapor in Dongting is in the sky, the waves are rippling, and it is extremely vast and far away. And later generations Fan Wenzheng said: First the world's worries and worries, and then the world's joys and joys. It is through the Dongting water waves to develop the family and the country. The Yangtze River continued to go east, and soon made another bend, and another important place was Jiangxia. To the east, another bend, the most important place is Chaisang, which is where Sun Quan's current government is located in 930. South of Chaisang, there is also a large lake, which coexists with the Yangtze River, which is Poyang Lake. The Poyang Lake Jiangdong Naval Base also houses 100,000 sailors.

That Jiangxia lives in an important place, can threaten Jiangdong to the south, and stabilize Jingzhou to the north. Looking south to the east of the Yangtze River is a serious concern for Sun Quan's confidants. Soochow Wu attacked Jiangxia three times and five times, but it was constantly weakening Jiangxia's power, making it unable to go south and not dare to face Jiangdong. However, this time Sun Quan personally ordered 150,000 water troops and brought many generals in Jiangdong. He was aggressive, as if he wanted to put Huang Zu to death and completely remove the threat from the north. Then Liu Bei ordered 100,000 water and army troops, and brought Guan Zhang Zhao, Sun Gan, Jian Yong, Liu Mi brothers to stay in Xinye, and his son Liu Qi.

Jiangxia's Huang Zu had already executed the fifth city gate guard. Sun Quan was shocked by the high hanging head. On the flagship, Sun Quan saw Wu Jun's waterway wildly shooting arrows, and after a round of shooting, he attacked violently. Judging from the dilapidation of the Jiangxia city wall, Huang Zu would not be able to keep it for a few days. Moreover, the morale of Huang Zu's army is not high, coupled with Huang Zu's short-tempered temper and his reign of terror, it is only a matter of time before Jiangxia City collapses.

"Gan Ning!" Zhou Yu beside him called Gan Ning over, "You lead a large ship and dozens of small boats to form a fleet to the back city of Jiangxia, Xiangjiangkou. I judge that Huang Zu will run away from there when he can't support it. ."

"Understood." Gan Ning said and went to prepare.

Sun Quan's appearance is quite famous, with a golden beard and blue eyes, a high nose, and suspected of foreign blood. Dressed in red and slightly purple clothes that matched his beard, he was a dutiful son. He has a good relationship with Zhou Yu and Lu Su on weekdays and is quite reliant on him.

"Did you know? In this city, when I was a child more than ten years ago, I watched my father's body being transported out of the city." Sun Quan pointed to Jiangxia City, as if chatting.

Zhou Yu knew that in the confrontation between Sun Jian and Jingzhou, he mistakenly fell into Jingzhou Liu Biao's strategy, and Jingzhou won Yuan Shao's support. Sun Jian died unexpectedly. After Sun Jian's death, Soochow almost collapsed. The eldest son, Sun Ce, exchanged Jingzhou general Huang Zu for his father's body and negotiated peace with Jingzhou. At that time, Sun Quan rushed to Jiangxia to bring back Sun Jian's body. At that time, Sun Quan was young, and many people thought he was ignorant, but he was very clear about things at that time.

After Sun Jian's death, Soochow had no one to hold back, and soon the internal divisions and disintegration. Sun Ce abandoned Jiangdong to Yuan Shu and accumulated strength in the Huaisi area. A few years later, he convened old generals and led thousands of troops. In less than a year, he swept across Jiangdong and re-established his foundation. When Sun Ce swept across Jiangdong, first Zhou Yu, then Jiang Qin, Zhou Tailing and other baaf people came to vote. Wenchen has Zhang Zhao and others. Sun Ce's power skyrocketed, and he was looked at by the princes at that time. He was known as the little overlord. It is a pity that Sun Ceying died young, and people in Soochow were panicked for a while. Sun Jian left his position to Sun Quan. Sun Quan was young and had no experience or prestige. Moreover, the two generations of Soochow were the military leaders of Soochow. They were heroes who came and went freely on the battlefield and saw blood with their guns. This time Sun Quan was replaced, but he did not come out of the battlefield, but grew up in the palace. Whether Sun Quan can hold Jiangdong down is a question. Will Jiangdong split up again like after Sun Jian's death?

"I want to thank you and Zhang Zhao." Sun Quan said with emotion, looking at the white water of the river, surging eastward.

When Sun Quan hugged his head and cried, Zhang Zhao shouted, "Now is not the time to cry!" Zhou Yu also immediately supported Sun Quan's succession to the throne. Sun Quan's position was thus consolidated.

"Does the lord know that we will support you without hesitation?" Zhou Yu asked.

"Why?" Sun Quan was quite curious.

"The lord acts calmly and is smart, anyone can see it!" Zhou Yu laughed loudly. "When the First Sovereign Sun Ce was dying, he said that it was the First Sovereign Sun Bofu's business to fight in the South and the North, and to expand the foundation, while it was the matter of the First Sovereign Sun Zhongmou to care for the people and protect Jiangdong. Who was the First Sovereign? How? I can't see that no matter how the north changes, how strong it is, the future of Jiangdong is in the hands of the lord!"

"Hahahaha." Sun Quan laughed and didn't answer.

Later, Cao Cao's sentence "having a child should be like Sun Zhongmou" once again confirmed Sun Ce's judgment. Xin Qiji, a great scholar and general of later generations, said: "Looking at Shenzhou alone, looking at the beautiful Beigu Tower, how many things in the world rise and fall, and the Yangtze River is rolling. Young and ten thousand, who is the enemy of the world's heroes, Cao Liu, have a son like Sun Zhongmou!"

Is that young master really an inexperienced and helpless teenager? not necessarily. The teenager watched his father's corpse as it was transported from the enemy's towering walls at a young age. After the split of Jiangdong, the future is uncertain, how did the young Sun Quan become a playboy? No, he was just the youngest son of a declining family. Sun Ce lived under Yuan Shu's fence, and the entire Sun Jian family was ostracized. It should be said that at this time Sun Quan could feel the coldness of the world the most. He is lonely and helpless, his father died, his elder brother is under his guard, and he faces brutal political and economic struggles at any time. Sun Ce swept across Jiangdong, Sun Quan should be able to feel the geo-military war, understand the political and military significance of each important place, and begin to learn and observe governance and war.

Perhaps inadvertently, this blue-eyed youth is not at a loss, but inexplicably calm and smart.
