Coincidentally, when Liu Xiu left for Xiangyang, Liu Yu also handed over the defense to his general Wang Zhene, assisted by his confidant Xie Hui and Liu Muzhi, and then rushed to Xiangyang under the escort of general Zhuge Kunlong.
Zhuge Kunlong is one of the few capable generals under his command, especially when he has to face Liu Xiu next, so he must take him with him to feel at ease.
Before Liu Biao's death, Liu Biao was the lubricant between Liu Xiu and Liu Yu, maintaining the apparent peaceful coexistence between them.
After Liu Biao's death, due to a series of external situations, Liu Yu and Liu Xiu needed to restrain their fighting. Therefore, the two simply stayed in Nanyang and Jiangxia to busy themselves.
, let the brothers Liu Qi and Liu Cong temporarily take over the role of Liu Biao.
However, now that Liu Qi is dead, Liu Cong is inseparable from this matter, and they will have to face each other directly. To take a step back, at this time, Xiangyang also needs them to return to take charge of the overall situation.
Previously, Liu Qi temporarily acted as the pastor of Jingzhou to maintain the affairs of Jingzhou on the surface. But after what happened, they had to have someone stand up to prevent the entire Jingbei from falling into a leaderless state.
As for who will stand up in the end, it depends on the abilities of both parties and who can be more skilled.

"Second brother, nephew Liu Qi was in his prime, but now, why, how..." Before he could finish his words, Liu Xiu seemed to be unable to bear to say any more, and he could not help but choke.
Looking at the heartbroken third brother Liu Xiu, Liu Yu also said sadly, "Damn that Xiang clan. If they hadn't provoked nephew Liu Cong, how could what happened today happen!"
Basically, a mature emperor can master the skill of acting. In this regard, although Liu Yu is worse than Liu Xiu, he is not much worse.
"What, they are those despicable brats from the Xiang clan, does the second brother have any evidence?" Liu Xiu asked in disbelief.
"Brother Xiu, if the drama is not confirmed, why would I be talking nonsense! Not only Liu Qi's nephew, but also my eldest brother..." Liu Yu still looked miserable, and said sadly, "A few days ago, as a brother,
General He Wuji came to report and found a secret pavilion in Jiangxia, which contains evidence that the Xiang family poisoned my eldest brother and instigated Liu Cong's nephew to assassinate my Liu Qi nephew!"
"Hateful, hateful, the people of the Xiang clan are so shameless! If I don't avenge this, I, Liu Xiu, will be in vain as a member of the Han clan!" Liu Xiu raised his head and shouted angrily.
In fact, Liu Xiu didn't know whether what Liu Yu said was true or not, or whether Liu Yu had found the evidence he called. But according to Liu Xiu's guess, there was more than 90% chance that all this was false.
However, even if it is fake, it does not prevent Liu Xiu from accompanying Liu Yu in this scene. Even if it is not stated explicitly, due to years of understanding of each other, the two brothers have a fight as soon as they meet.
A perfect fit.
Regardless of whether it was someone from the Xiang clan who did it or not, let’s push the blame to them first. As long as they push all the blame, they will be sure to take advantage of the situation and shift all conflicts to the Xiang clan.
Not to mention, in the eyes of the two of them, it is very likely that all of this was actually done secretly by members of the Xiang family.
As for the so-called evidence that Liu Yu pushed the blame, the people in the so-called secret cabinet can just find a few dead men to replace them. A few forged letters, no matter whether it is the other party's doing or not, is enough to make the other party
Can't tell clearly.
Of course, in fact, Liu Yu's blame was very accurate, and he happened to place the blame on the real mastermind behind these things.
Moreover, when these two people pushed the blame to the Xiang clan, they specifically pointed out that Liu Qi was the reason why the Xiang clan provoked Liu Cong, and by the way, they pushed Liu Cong into the abyss.
No matter whether it was instigated by the Xiang family or not, Liu Cong took action all the time. He will never be able to escape this crime. He is suspected of killing his brother. When he competes for the throne later, Liu Cong will not get anything.
People's support.
Although Xiang Yu proposed the Northern Expedition to Jingbei before, people like Sun Shuao, Fan Zeng, and Yu Ji all voted against it openly or covertly, so that the matter did not proceed.
However, Xiang Yu did not give up. After that, he proposed the northern expedition to Jingbei many times. Moreover, Xiang Yu also approached Long Qie, Xiang Liu and other generals to support him.
After all, Xiang Yu is still their lord. Fan Zeng and Sun Shuao cannot always refute Xiang Yu's face, nor can they always vote against Xiang Yu.
Therefore, after several struggles, although they thought it was not the best time, Fan Zeng and Sun Shuao were forced to agree to the idea of attacking Jingbei.
This is what Xiang Yan just passed away. The last sentence left by Xiang Yan was to ask Shu Ao if he was not sure about domestic affairs and to ask Fan Zeng if he was not sure about foreign affairs. It had a profound impact on Xiang Yu. Otherwise, with Xiang Yu's domineering attitude, how could he
Hui Tu endured Fan Zeng and Sun Shuao's opposition to him several times.
However, although he decided to fight, Fan Zeng was also determined to create as many opportunities as possible to fight again. Therefore, Yu Shiji and Yu Shinan, who had sneaked into Liu Qi and Liu Cong's brothers, used Liu Cong's hands to kill Liu Qi.
As a result, Liu Qi, who acted as the pastor of Jingzhou after Liu Biao's death, also became frustrated. In order to avoid being leaderless, Liu Xiu and Liu Yu had to return to Xiangyang.
First, this move can trigger a fight between the brothers Liu Yu and Liu Xiu. After all, these two people have the same goal, and they are both the kind that will not give up. There is an absolute conflict of interests. Second
Come, Jiangxia can find real opportunities without Liu Yu or Liu Xiu in charge.
Over the years, the abilities of Liu Xiu and Liu Yu have been obvious to all, and the Xiang clan has suffered a lot. They have attacked several times, but with no success.
"That's right, Brother Xiu, I, Jingbei, have to avenge the blood feud between my eldest brother and my nephew. My second brother must consolidate the strength of the entire Jingbei and go all the way south, swearing to kill that little Xiang Yu, to avenge my eldest brother and nephew!" Liu Yu said.
Holding Liu Xiu's shoulder, his eyes were red with blood, and he gritted his teeth and said. Such a bloody feud must not be let go.
"Second brother, just feel free to send troops. My younger brother will be stationed in Xiangyang, providing food, grass, soldiers and armor for my second brother. I will never let my second brother have any worries!" Liu Xiu also gritted his teeth and said, "By the way, second brother, my younger brother still has some troops under his account.
How many generals can see clearly? With these few of them commanding the army for my second brother, revenge for my eldest brother and nephew is just around the corner!"
Of these two people, one wanted to consolidate the power of the entire Jingbei, and the other made it clear that he would be stationed in Xiangyang, the seat of Jingbei, and would have his generals help the other party lead the army. In a few sentences, they each expressed their views on Jingbei.
