In the first year of Ping in the early Han Dynasty, a young man wearing a blue mattress and a bun-tight crown, about 17 or 18 years old, was standing outside Yicheng, looking at this small county town with a wall of only more than meter.

"At the end of the Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms... Haha, after waiting for many years, I finally can come to Jingzhou."

After a long period of emotion, the young man named Liu Qi took out the water bag from his waist, pulled out the sieve, raised his head and took a big sip, and said to himself: "From now on, the life, death, honor and disgrace of this life will be at the forefront of this storm."

As early as a few years ago, Liu Qi, Gaoping County, Shanyang County, had already lost his soul in a serious illness. At this time, the soul that occupied this body was a web article enthusiast from the 21st century.

A few years ago, when he learned that he had become Liu Qi in the late Han Dynasty, he was half surprised and half ridiculed himself for his identity.

To be honest, as the descendant of Liu Yu, King Gong of Lu, and the eldest son of Liu Biao, the Marquis of the Northern Army, Liu Qi was nakedly envied by many of his peers. Judging from the general background of this era, it is not an exaggeration to say that he was born with a golden spoon in his mouth.

But in later generations, he was a pig with a golden spoon in his mouth - a pig dog.

He had almost no achievements in his life. He was forced to leave Jiangxia by the Cai family of Xiangyang's first clan and lost the opportunity to inherit his father's business. Jingzhou, which should have belonged to him, was eventually divided up by the Cao, Sun and Liu families.

And the most famous evaluation of Liu Qi in his life was Cao Cao's words: "Liu Jingsheng's son is like a pig."

I feel wronged and suffocated to death, and after death, I have to bear the name of a pig, dog, and child.

Do you have to accept your fate? Of course you don’t.

From the day he knew his identity, Liu Qi began to make plans for his life, carefully studying every volume of Han Dynasty bamboo slips he could access, laying the foundation for his future.

Two years ago, Liu Qi begged his father Liu Biao to use his connections to cite him as a filial and honest person in Gaoping County, Shanyang County, and began to accumulate some political capital for himself.

He was sent to Juye County as the county history. With his family background and hard work, he served as the young mansion in Juye, a thief Cao and a county magistrate in less than two years, and finally became the county magistrate of the county army with a salary of 200 stone two months ago.

Seventeen crowns, eighteen crowns will receive a rank of 200 s. In this era, it is quite a promising young age.

But at this moment, his father Liu Biao sent someone to send an important letter from his family, saying in the bamboo slip: Wang Rui, the former governor of Jingzhou, was forced to death by Sun Jian, and Liu Biao was recommended to serve as governor of Jingzhou, and he chose a date to take office.

This is the day that Liu Qi has been waiting for!

He is going to Jingzhou! Change his destiny with his own hands!

After receiving Liu Biao's letter from his family, the young Liu Qi immediately did something that the entire Liu family and his colleagues in Shanyang did not understand. He resolutely resigned from his position as a county magistrate of 200 stone and placed a letter to his father Liu Biao, saying that he wanted to go to Jingzhou with Liu Biao to take office.

In fact, based on his current ability and background, coupled with Liu Biao's connections in Luoyang, if he persists in doing some political achievements in a few years and finds a way to bribe the people from the Selection Department, he will go to Luoyang to become a 600-stone congressman, a central councillor, or the like in a few years.

He is still young. If he can really enter Luoyang to work, his future may be greater than that of Liu Biao.

But why did he have to abandon his post and go to the south to wade into this muddy water? At present, Jingzhou is full of clans and powerful people everywhere, and it is a mess, not a good place.

Others don’t understand, and Liu Qi doesn’t explain much. He just implemented his plan step by step - in the early years when Liu Biao took office, he made himself an irreplaceable young master in Jingzhou!

Although Liu Biao has been appointed as the governor of Jingzhou, he had served as the Marquis of the Northern Army in Luoyang and was in charge of the fifth battalions of the Northern Army! In Luoyang, Liu Biao's direct superior, Zhang Wen, and Dong Zhuo, who had just entered the capital, are currently in opposition. He is very envious of the fifth battalions of the Northern Army in Liu Biao's hands! I am afraid that the handover meeting of the Northern Army will be quite complicated. In addition, Luoyang is more than 700 miles away from Jingzhou. If Liu Biao wants to take office in Jingzhou, it is estimated that it will be three months later.

After Liu Qi made full preparations, he placed a book to Liu Biao, who was busy in Luoyang, saying that he had resigned and wanted to go to Jingzhou first to explore the way for his father.

Although Liu Biao did not want his son to resign, the two were too far apart, and Liu Biao could not stop him by shouting at him! And Liu Biao also knew that since many years ago, his son, who had always been honest and obedient, suddenly seemed to have changed his mind, and his temperament became more and more independent. If he imposed a stop, it would be counterproductive.

After weighing the pros and cons, Liu Biao finally surrendered.

He submitted a petition in Luoyang to the court to make Liu Qi the governor and instructed Liu Qi to sell his family's wealth, gather the soldiers who were willing to accompany him, and go to Jingzhou to explore the way for him.

After exploring, Liu Qi explored Yicheng near Xiangyang...

"Boyu, if you move forward, it will be in the jurisdiction of Yicheng! Don't move forward any more, just stay here and wait for your uncle!"

Liu Qi turned to look at the person who was talking, and he was his cousin Liu Pan who came to Jingzhou with him.

Liu Pan is the son of Liu Biao's elder brother. He is the best among the younger generation of the Liu family in Shanyang. He is also a cousin who has been playing with Liu Qi since childhood. This time, Liu Qi recruited soldiers for Liu Biao in Shanyang County, so naturally this fellow disciple who is proficient in martial arts is not indispensable.

As for the word "Boyu", it was a word for Liu Biao to discuss with the elders of the clan when Liu Qi held a ceremony last year.

Liu Qi was the eldest son of the family, Bo was Changzhong and the second quarter was San, and his name was Qi, which means Meiyu, and the word Yu also refers to it. There is a saying in "The Book of Rites: Pinyi" that flaws do not conceal the Yu, so the name is Boyu.

Liu Qi threw the water bag in his hand towards Liu Pan and said, "I've come here, why can't I move forward?"

Liu Pan is worthy of being a warrior. He quickly reached out and grabbed the water bag thrown by Liu Qi, raised his head and took a gulp, and burped it and said, "We are here to inquire about the information for my uncle, not for him. Along the way, you and I have also learned a lot of information. We know that the sect thieves are prevalent in the Nanjun area, and at least dozens of sects are in control. Xiangyang, Jiangling and other major counties are also controlled by them. Each sect thieves have at least two or three hundred private soldiers! This information is enough to repay my uncle, why do you have to go into the city?"

When Liu Qi was excited when he saw Liu Pan's face, he smiled and said, "My cousin doesn't want to enter the city. Did he hear that there are many clans in Jingzhou and he is a little scared?"

Liu Pan is a few years older than Liu Qi, and he has always regarded himself as "the best rider and shooter among the Liu clan", so he naturally would not admit that he was afraid of things.

Liu Pan's face turned red and said angrily: "Nonsense! Are you afraid of your brother? But the information has been discovered. If you continue to go deep into the hinterland of Jingzhou, if you cause any trouble and delay your uncle's major affairs, it will be unsatisfactory."

Liu Qi smiled, walked forward, and hugged Liu Pan's shoulder, just like he hugged his friends when he was drunk in later generations.

Liu Pan has been not used to Liu Qi's approach to being close to each other over the years.

He twisted his shoulder uneasy and said, "Don't hug me!"

Liu Qi smiled and said, "Why? Are you not used to it?"

"I know, ask!"

"It's okay, I'll get used to hugging you a few more times."

Liu Pan sighed helplessly. Over the years, he has become less and less able to deal with him.

"Cousin, do you think we have heard useful information?"

Liu Pan frowned and his tone was quite unhappy.

"How is it useless? Jingzhou has many thieves, and all ethnic groups are holding private soldiers and occupying prefectures and counties, which is a big problem! Isn't this intelligence?"

Liu Qi sighed and said, "The problem is that if my father set out to Jingzhou, he could find out these things along the way. Perhaps he would know them when he was in Luoyang. Everyone knows them all over Jingzhou. You can find a few farmers on the road to find out... What kind of information is this?"

Liu Pan opened his mouth and smashed it back and forth, trying to refute him, but after careful imagination, it seemed that he was right.

Liu Pan sighed in frustration and said, "Then do you tell me, what should we do to investigate and report to my uncle?"

Liu Qi was not in a hurry to answer, but just asked back: "Cousin, how do you think the clan and the clan thief should be distinguished?"

Liu Pan immediately raised his head, his dark face filled with confidence.

"Can this little thing still be stubborn as a brother? The so-called clan is a prominent clan! Among these prominent clans, those who are evil in the clan are clan thieves!"

Liu Qi shook his head and said, "Brother, this is wrong."

Liu Pan said dissatisfiedly: "What's wrong?"

"Is it considered evil to be rich and unkind in the countryside?"

"Of course it counts!"

"But are the prominent clans who have done these things a clan thief? Do they need to join the clan to conquer them?"

"Well... it doesn't seem to be that ruthless, right?" Liu Pan was speechless.

Liu Qi smiled and said, "These are not considered thieves, they can only be called bullies. If the prominent clans who do these things are also listed as thieves, then I am afraid that all the clans in the seven counties of Jingzhou will not be kept by the whole family."

Liu Pan said with a headache: "In your opinion, which clans are thieves?"

Liu Qi's face turned right and explained clearly: "I have money, private soldiers, and food, but I don't obey the management of the state government. I even regard local officials as their puppets, occupy official land, annex land, and dare to raise troops to directly fight against the prefectures and county patriarchs... To put it bluntly, the clans that oppose our Liu family are all clan thieves."

Liu Pan looked at Liu Qi with a speechless voice, and his views were somewhat subverted.

He learned the Six Arts since he was a child, and most of the documents he came into contact with were Confucian classics, benevolence and righteousness.

Now Liu Qi has irrigated his thoughts that those who are superior follow me will prosper and rebellious will perish, which made Liu Pan a little unable to accept it for a while.

"Then how do you know which thieves who are not convinced by us?"

Liu Qi sighed and said, "This is the information we need to submit to Yan Jun... Which clans in the Nanjun area are willing to support Yan Jun assigning office, and which ones do not support him? This is considered useful information!"

Liu Pan grinned and said, "There are hundreds of clans in Nanjun alone. How should we distinguish between you and I just arrived?"

Liu Qi stretched out his finger, pointed at Yicheng from afar, and said with a smile: "This, you and my brothers need to enter the city and investigate it carefully."

Liu Pan showed hesitation... He still wanted to wait until Liu Biao arrived in Jingzhou before talking.

Liu Qi looked slightly stern.

If a warrior like Liu Pan doesn't provoke him, he will be afraid that he will stick to the rules until he dies.

"Why is a real man so slutty? If my cousin is afraid of death, I will go to Yicheng to find out what is wrong with it."

After saying that, he turned around and led the horse.

The warriors at the end of the Han Dynasty valued character and integrity... the most important thing was to value face!

Liu Pan usually regards himself as the number one martial arts master in the clan. Now he is facing major events. If Liu Qi is compared, he will have no place to let go of his face.

He saw him stomping his feet and said angrily: "Who said I am afraid of death? Forget it! I will accompany you crazy today! Let's go to Yicheng to find out the news!"

Liu Qi reached out and patted Liu Pan's shoulder: "This is the man of Liu's family in Shanyang."

After being praised by Liu Qi, Liu Pan's mood obviously improved a lot. He smiled and said, "But cousin, we have to make it clear in advance. After entering Yicheng to find out the thief of Jingzhou Sect, you must not have any other thoughts. Just wait for my uncle to come to the post with you, can you?"

Liu Qi was stunned when he heard this.

Obviously, it was not in line with his original intention that Liu Pan asked him to wait for Liu Biao to come here. If this is the case, why would he come to Jingzhou in advance than Liu Biao?

Liu Qi came here to change his destiny!

The first prerequisite for changing your destiny is to cause trouble!

Seeing this, Liu Pan became anxious: "You actually hesitated?"

"Ah? No! I didn't hesitate, I hesitated... I heard from my cousin."
