"Lord!" Ling Tong ran out crying again and knelt on the ground: "This is the fault of the last general. Please punish me, my lord."

Sun Quan reprimanded: "In the past, when General Gan shot your father to death, everyone was his own master, so we should not fail to do our best. Now that we have come to help in the battle, we are allies. How can we take revenge?"

Ling Tong touched his head to the ground and repeatedly begged for mercy: "Father's hatred is irreconcilable. I was impulsive just now and missed my lord's important event. I will be punished by death!"

Sun Quan sighed and said: "Since you know you made a mistake, you should apologize to General Liu!"

After all, Ling Cao was a meritorious service to the Sun family, and Ling Tong saved his life. He was young and promising, and Sun Quan was reluctant to punish him.

Zhuge Jin hurriedly said: "What my lord said is absolutely true. No one has any faults, but he can do good if he corrects them! General Liu is a generous man and will definitely not argue with you."

Ling Tong got up and bowed deeply to Liu Qi: "I was reckless, general, please forgive me."

Liu Qi took a step back with his hands behind his back, letting Gan Ning in front: "You should apologize to General Gan. If he can forgive you, I have nothing to say."

"Ah?!" Ling Tong suddenly froze, raised his head and glared at Gan Ning, his teeth grinding loudly.

Liu Qi sneered and said: "When your father attacked Jiangxia, he killed many soldiers. How dare you ask how to avenge those people?"

"This..." Ling Tong clenched his fists, sweat pouring from his forehead.

When Sun Quan saw the Jiangxia incident mentioned, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Today is the time to fight against Cao Cao together. The old grudges can be wiped out. For my sake, how about you make amends to General Gan?"

Ling Tong's chest was heaving. Family feuds and state affairs were all on him alone, and he was full of contradictions.

At this moment, Gan Ning took a step forward, clasped his fists and said, "Although everyone is responsible for what happened before, it is reasonable for the young general to be impulsive! Gan Mou respected the man who hates evil as much as he hates it, so he walked around

Give him a minute!"

Gan Ning was also a person who understood the general situation. When he saw that things were about to become tense because of him, he took the initiative to resolve the situation, which not only saved the face of both parties, but also restored his own dignity.

Liu Qi smiled and said: "Since Xingba will no longer pursue the case, this matter has been revealed. It is a big deal to fight against Cao together!"

Sun Quan also breathed a sigh of relief, cupped his fists and said, "Bo Wei please!"

The two went back to the house to have a banquet. Ling Tong stared at Gan Ning's back for a long time before following him.

"Mr. Zhuge, please!" Xu Shu called to Zhuge Jin who was in a daze.

Zhuge Jin wiped his cold sweat and said thankfully: "Fortunately, I didn't bring Jiang Xia soldiers here, otherwise this place would have been a river of blood!"

Everyone sat down again, Liu Qi winked at Gan Ning, Gan Ning poured wine and saluted Ling Tong:

"After all, I made a mistake in this matter first. A true man should be clear about grievances. Although I dare not say that this glass of wine will resolve the grievances between you and me, I sincerely comfort your father's spirit in heaven!"

After speaking, he poured the wine on the ground, poured another glass and said, "Young general, can you let go of your worries?"

Ling Tong's face turned pale. Under the gaze of everyone, he finally picked up the wine glass with his lips pursed, raised his head and drank it tremblingly, coughing continuously.

Gan Ning sighed inwardly, knowing that he was forced by the situation, so he drank and returned to his original position.

Liu Qi said with emotion: "If it weren't for the traitorous party to gain power and the collapse of the government, how could we have so many grudges? The culprits of everything are actually Cao Cao and his likes. It is our duty to punish the thieves and eliminate violence."

Sun Quan also said: "Both my father and brother died in the war. I have put aside my personal grudges and launched a righteous army to fight against the usurpers. You must remember this."

Everyone nodded. After all, the two families had already agreed on an alliance and an in-law marriage. Now that Liu Qi had personally led troops to help, it was really unreasonable to find trouble again.

Seeing that Ling Tong still looked ugly, Liu Qi said to him: "I was angry because of Zhang Gong's words just now, and I didn't mean to target you. In fact, when I was in Jingzhou, I was depressed for a long time, so I wrote a poem to encourage myself. Today,

How about sharing it with Little General?"

Zhuge Jin hurriedly smiled and said: "The eldest son's talent has already alarmed the scholars. His five-character poems are novel and regular, and his seven-character poems are leading the trend. We are all ears."

Ling Tong looked up at Liu Qi, laughed at himself, and said hoarsely: "If it's the phrase 'Jinlin/isn't it a thing in the pond', I will never take it seriously."

Despite his young age, Ling Tong is very clever. If Liu Qi sent him this sentence and deliberately framed him, then Sun Quan would not be able to do anything to him in the future?

Liu Qi laughed and said: "Of course not. This poem is extremely self-encouragement, and of course it has never been shown to others."

Sun Quan also became curious and stroked his beard and said: "Bo Wei is lying on the firewood and tasting his courage. He must have something amazing to say. We are all ears to listen."

"You're showing off your ugliness!" Liu Qi stood up, clasped his fists around, coughed lightly and said slowly:

“It’s hard to grow up without poverty, and you are naive without fighting against the old man.

Since ancient times, heroes have come out of purgatory and entered the mortal world with wealth and honor.

Whoever becomes angry in life or death in drunkenness or dream, Tuo Ma's spear will determine the outcome.

Command an army thousands of miles across mountains and rivers, and establish your name and prestige to pass on to future generations."

"What a poem, what a poem!" Sun Quan's eyes lit up after hearing this, he put his palms in his hands and praised: "Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful..."

Although this is a poem written by Liu Qi to encourage himself, it seems to be writing about himself. It is exactly what Sun Quan wanted, and his appreciation comes from the heart.

Amidst the admiration, Ling Tong seemed to have some understanding. He stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, General, for your advice. I'll take a lesson from you."

Liu Qi smiled and said: "General Ling is a leader among the younger generation in Jiangdong. He will have great potential in the future. Don't be blinded by hatred and miss your talent."

Speaking of the only one Jiangdong could beat in the later period, Ling Tongyi was the only one. Liu Qi still had a good impression of him. If he hit him with a stick and gave him a sweet date, he would be worthy of this young hero.

After the banquet ended happily, everyone had forgotten that Zhang Zhao left with hatred, and Sun Quan completely entrusted the war ahead to Zhou Yu.

Liu Qi led his troops north, while Xi Guan followed Sun Quan to Jianye to attack the front station, first sending gifts to smoothen relations.

"He who has the same desire from above and below wins!" After seeing off the Jingzhou troops, Sun Quan stood on the shore with his hands behind his hands, looking at the rippled river with a complicated expression.

He didn't think that the same was true in Jiangdong, but the situation in Jiangdong was far more complicated than that in Jingzhou. Those aristocratic families had private armies, ranging from hundreds to thousands to more than ten thousand.

Sun Quan knew very well that Jiangdong, like the Yangtze River and the sea, seemed calm on the surface, but in fact there were undercurrents. If you were not careful, the stable situation would collapse.

Bu Zhi said with emotion: "Huainanzi said: The superiors and ministers are united as one, and the monarch and his ministers are comrades, guarding the country with them, teaching death but the people cannot leave. Is this the situation in Jingzhou?"

Sun Quan frowned and said: "Jingzhou is united and united, but Liu Qi is young and the city is unfathomable. It may be a big trouble for Jiangdong!"

When I first met Liu Qi, I thought he was weak and weak and not strong enough to handle him. After today's actions, I realized that this person is soft on the outside but strong on the inside, and he may even be very scheming.

Just standing up for Gan Ning doesn’t necessarily mean he doesn’t mean to win people’s hearts!

At this time, I recall that I planned a marriage with Lu Su and Zhou Yu, and used Sun Shangxiang to control Liu Qi and further control Jingzhou. I am afraid it will not be that easy!

In fact, Sun Quan's guess was not bad. Liu Qi had planned to persuade Ling Tong during the banquet to resolve the grudges.

But then I thought, this was a good opportunity to show off my authority, so I just walked away.

Anyway, the fire is burning in Soochow, and it is you, Sun Quan, who is anxious. If you don't give Jiangdong some color, do you really think you are a sick cat?

Moreover, this move will definitely make Gan Ning completely submit, and it will also make the generals return to their heart, and accomplish multiple things with one stone.

If someone sets up the stage, it would be a pity not to perform this play!

Although it is an act, this is also Liu Qi's true inner thought. If he does not protect the leadership of his subordinates, how can there be any cohesion?
