Liu Xiu and Liu Yu stood still, as if all internal fighting had nothing to do with them, but the two brothers Liu Qi and Liu Cong did not have that patience.
The two brothers' plan to lure Liu Xiu and Liu Yu back to Xiangyang failed, so under the advice of their advisers Shi Ji and Shinan, they tried to cut off Liu Xiu and Liu Yu's food and kill them with borrowed knives.
plan.
Shi Ji and Shinan were counselors recruited by Liu Qi and Liu Cong respectively. They were recruited when Yu Ji visited Jingbei. Although these two people had just arrived, their talents were outstanding. In addition, Liu Qi and Liu Cong had previously
Liu Cong and his two men had few capable people, they were basically just wine sacks and rice sacks. They quickly stood out and were promoted to confidants one after another.
However, Liu Qi and Liu Cong wanted to cause trouble, but the veterans in Jingbei did not dare to let them cause trouble. Cutting off the food and grass for Liu Xiu and Liu Yu was tantamount to forcing them to rebel.
Even if these two people don't rebel, but they don't have food in their hands, how can they resist the covetous princes outside? Not to mention that the current war between Jingbei and Yuan Shu is not over yet. Isn't this equivalent to destroying the Great Wall?
Although Liu Qi temporarily took the position of prefectural pastor, it was only the result of a temporary balance of forces among the four parties. Needless to say, Liu Xiu and Liu Yu were the most powerful factions among the four parties. Liu Cong could be considered to have the support of the Cai family after all.
, but Liu Qi’s strength is really too weak to be weak!
It was precisely because Liu Qi's power was too weak that he was temporarily appointed as the shepherd of Jingzhou until his final destination was determined.
Otherwise, if Liu Xiu and Liu Yu were to temporarily take over this position before the winner was determined, they would probably take this opportunity to completely confirm this position, so that they would have nothing to do with the other three.
However, with Liu Qi in charge, they no longer had this worry. But even so, Liu Qi was only the temporary shepherd of Jingzhou, not the king of Chu.
After all, a country cannot be left without an owner for a day. If there is no leader, Jingbei will soon become a mess. Even though the leader is just a mascot now, they just need such a mascot now.
The plan to cut off food failed again, and Shi Ji and Shinan did not dare to make waves again in the short term. If similar suggestions were made to Liu Qi and Liu Cong one after another, others would easily suspect them.
intention.
One can say that they are short-sighted once or twice, but if it happens too many times, they may have ulterior motives. In Jingbei, there are many aristocratic families, and there are many talented people like the Zhuge family who avoid chaos here. There are many of these people.
smart people.
However, as time passed, the two brothers Liu Qi and Liu Cong saw that they could not find a chance to kill their two uncles, and the two brothers themselves could not help but start fighting among themselves.
Of course, this matter was mainly instigated by Liu Cong. Liu Qi's talents are average, but Liu Cong is an idiot. If it weren't for the support of the Cai family and Mrs. Cai behind him, he wouldn't even be qualified to join this game.
Although he was only temporarily appointed as the shepherd of Jingzhou, Liu Qi took the position but he did not. This had aroused the malice in Liu Cong's heart. Therefore, when there was nothing he could do against Liu Xiu and Liu Yu in a short period of time, Liu Cong finally
I chose Liu Qi to perform the surgery first.
Of course, for the time being, everyone needs Liu Qi to act as Jingzhou Mu's agent to maintain balance. Therefore, although the two people fight fiercely, it is basically within a controllable range.
At the same time, another interesting thing happened in Jingzhou, that is, Sima Yi invested in the project.
During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Sima family took refuge in Luoyang, and was later forced to move to Chang'an due to Dong Zhuo's rebellion. After Li Xiang captured Yongliang, the Sima family also moved back to Hanoi again.
Except for Sima Cuo, Sima Guang and others who had already served as officials in various princes, although most of the Sima family moved back to Hanoi, Sima Yi was an exception.
Shortly after Yang Jian replaced Dong Zhuo, Sima Yi was invited by Sima Hui to go to Lumen Academy in Jingzhou, and replaced Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong as the two geniuses of Lumen Academy.
Moreover, Mr. Shui Jing, Sima Hui, in order to make these two proud disciples famous, once said to them, "Tombing a tiger and a phoenix chick, one can settle the world."
Although few people would really take this sentence seriously, when they encountered it, they would subconsciously pay attention to it. After all, the reputation of Mr. Shui Jing and Sima Hui was still quite high in the late Han Dynasty.
Even within the Sima family, few people knew that many years ago, when Mr. Wujiao Zuo Ci visited the Sima family via Wen County, Hanoi, he said that there was a hidden dragon dormant in the Sima family, and that one day he would ascend to the sky in the form of a dragon.
.
Even Sima Fang, who was talking to Mr. Wujiao Zuo Ci, did not take this sentence to heart. He even forgot about it long ago and regarded it as nonsense from Mr. Wujiao. In the era of feudal imperial power,
There are some words that, once known by others, will only bring disaster to oneself.
However, after Sima Yi, who was still a little carrot at the time, overheard this conversation inadvertently, he took it to heart and has kept it to this day.
Therefore, among the princes in the world, Sima Yi did not choose Li Xiang, the strongest, even though Sima Lang had already served as an official in the Jin army, laying a certain foundation for the rest of the Sima family.
At the same time, he did not choose Jingbei where he was now, but instead fell into the arms of the Xiang family, who had always been hostile to Jingbei.
There are a lot of talents in Jingbei. Liu Xiu and Liu Yu brought out a large number of their original team when they were born. Moreover, there are also many talented people in Jingzhou's academic department.
As for Li Xiang, not to mention his team. After a bunch of princes are added together, they may be able to compete with Li Xiang for talent advantage.
In this way, if you go to these two families, Sima Yi's ability will not be shown at all. On the other hand, although the Xiang family has a god-level counselor like Fan Zeng, they still have to consider the age of Fan Zeng and Sima Yi.
Zhuge Liang, who was about the same age, could have been beaten to death by Sima Yi, let alone an old man.
Therefore, when joining the Xiang family, what Sima Yi values is the future. If Fan Zeng disappears one day, then Sima Yi's qualifications and achievements will have been upheld by then.
By then, he will rise to the top in one step and become the first person in the Xiang family's civil service system. Sooner or later, he will have the opportunity to grasp the power of the Xiang family.
Of course, Sima Yi can also stay in Jingbei and seek refuge with Liu Qi or one of Liu Cong. As long as he can be helped up, the harvest will definitely be huge.
However, Sima Yi, who had stayed in Jingbei for several years, had a deep understanding of Liu Xiu and Liu Yu, and he did not have the confidence to help Liu Qi or Liu Cong make a comeback.
