The Fu Mansion door of Liu Qi's residence was wide open, and teams of guards in golden uniforms escorted Liu Qi and Xu Shu out of the mansion. The carriage was ready outside the gate, and Liu Qi and his two men boarded the carriage and left the mansion towards Huang Chengyan's residence.
The situation in Xiangyang suddenly changed. All the princes sent people to come. Liu Qi felt the pressure for the first time. This time he went to Huang Chengyan's mansion to recruit Zhuge Liang. If he could get Zhuge Liang to work for him, then with Xu Shu, Pang Tong would not have to worry about others.
, the most important thing is that Liu Qi does not want to reveal too much strength at the wedding. Although Xu Shu and Pang Tong have amazing talents, it would be best if they can catch them by surprise.
"My lord, are you sure you can recruit Kong Ming?" Xu Shu said with a solemn expression in the carriage. He knew Zhuge Liang's character best, and because of this, Xu Shu did not have high hopes for Liu Qi's trip.
"Do your best to obey fate. If it doesn't work, I can only trouble you." If Zhuge Liang cannot be recruited, Xu Shu, who has people to deal with various princes, may use his full strength.
"If Kong Ming can serve the lord, the three of us can work together to make it easier and cover up some things. Everyone has their own responsibilities at the wedding and will strive for the greatest benefits as much as possible. Jingzhou should not be too busy at this time.
Get involved." Xu Shu sighed.
"As long as Shiyuan's trip goes smoothly, I won't hesitate to lose face in Jingzhou." Liu Qi said with determination. Pang Tong had been sent out during this wedding, and only Xu Shu was left in Xiangyang City. And this wedding
It's not just about Liu Qi's face, it's also about Liu Biao's face. If something goes wrong at the wedding, Liu Biao's reputation will be ruined.
"Lord, don't worry. Although Xiangyang may face provocations from other princes this time, it is also a sensitive period at this time, and other forces do not dare to force Jingzhou too much." Xu Shu shook his head and said.
"Haha, although this wedding is grand, I, Liu Qi, am just the son of a prince. How can I attract the attention of so many forces? Xun Wenruo, Ju Shou, Zhang Hong plus Xu Chu, Taishi Ci and Gao Lan, these people have not
A simple one, I don't think these people are here to watch the fun, maybe there will be a civil and military fight on top of the wedding." Liu Qi smiled and said, the people sent by various princes for this wedding are very important, Cao Cao
Even his own Hu Chi was sent over, and Yuan Shao also sent Gao Lan, one of the four famous generals in Hebei, and Jiangdong Taishi Ci was not bad at all. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that this was the various princes showing their strength.
.
Xu Shu remained silent. The people sent by the various princes were not weak, but it would not be a shame if the host Jingzhou couldn't even compare with these people. They only sent a few people and you can't compare with them. Then the army will come one day.
Wouldn't it be even more difficult to resist the attack? The impact on Jingzhou's morale can be imagined.
"My lord has arrived." As the two of them sat facing each other in silence, the carriage slowly stopped.
Liu Qi and Xu Shu looked at each other, got up and got out of the carriage.
Outside the gate of Huang Chengyan's mansion, Huang Chengyan and several people were waiting here. When he saw Liu Qi and the other two, Huang Chengyan smiled and said, "It's really lively today. The eldest son Ha Yuanzhi came hand in hand, and the mansion will be lively for a while."
"You're welcome, Mr. Huang." Liu Qi cupped his hands and looked at the young man behind Huang Chengyan.
This young man in his twenties was as handsome as jade. Although he was dressed as a Confucian scholar, he was indescribably free and easy. He had a calm smile on his face. Liu Qi didn't need to think too much to know that this person was exactly what he came to find.
Zhuge Liang.
When Liu Qi looked at Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang was also looking at Liu Qi. When Liu Qi looked over, Zhuge Liang nodded slightly.
Seeing Zhuge Liang's extraordinary demeanor, Liu Qi stepped forward with a smile and said: "This must be Zhuge Kongming, who is also known as the Crouching Dragon, right?"
"I have seen the eldest son, Zhuge Kongming, and he is not worth mentioning to people in the mountains and plains." Zhuge Liang bowed and saluted.
"It turns out that the eldest son didn't come to see me today." Huang Chengyan looked between Liu Qi and Zhuge Liang and said.
"Haha, I'm here to see you." Xu Shu stepped forward and said, "You two are welcome and safe."
"You're welcome Yuan Zhi." Huang Chengyan and Zhuge Liang said with a smile.
"Please." After Huang Chengyan invited Liu Qi and Xu Shu into the mansion, he took Xu Shu away, while Liu Qi and Zhuge Liang were taken to a stone pavilion.
The two of them sat quietly in the stone pavilion without speaking, each drinking tea. After waiting for nearly a stick of incense, Liu Qi took out a piece of brocade cloth from his arms, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of Zhuge Liang.
"Huh?" Zhuge Liang's eyes flashed, he reached out to pick up the brocade cloth and unfolded it to see what was on the brocade cloth, but Zhuge Liang was a little surprised.
There are only a few words on the brocade cloth, but it is a letter of appointment, appointing Zhuge Liang as the military advisor of the Feilong Army.
"General Wenpin of the Feilong Army is extremely cautious and has a similar personality to yours. The two of you should be able to get along. As for the Feilong Guards? I have found someone for you. His surname is Zhao, his name is Yun, and his courtesy name is Zilong. Among the rebels, the head of an enemy general can be taken.
, full of courage and unparalleled loyalty, this person agreed to come to my wedding just like you. As for how to recruit this person, it depends on your methods." Liu Qi smiled and said.
"How can the eldest son be so sure that I will serve you?" Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Qi curiously. He was not sure yet, but this man was already sure that he would serve as well as him.
"You have set your sights on Jingzhou." Liu Qi looked directly at Zhuge Liang with eyes like lightning and said: "You have no choice. No one can take Jingzhou from me as long as I am here, not even Liu Bei. I don't know what you will do except for Jingzhou."
Who should I go to, Liu Bei? Sun Ce? Or Cao Cao, Yuan Shao?"
"If you wanted to defect to these people, you would have defected a long time ago. Why are you staying again? Even if Liu Bei comes to Jingzhou in the future, how will he have the strength to seize Jingzhou from me? Even if you want to, there is no possibility, and even if I
You can drag them to death by guarding Jingzhou for decades without doing anything."
Age is his greatest asset. Even if he can't defeat Cao Cao and Liu Bei, he just needs to live longer than them.
"Where do you get such confidence? Although Jingzhou is rich, in my opinion it is not invulnerable. As long as we seize the opportunity, we can capture Jingzhou." Zhuge Liang said with a smile.
"You may be very talented. Maybe Pang Shiyuan and Xu Yuanzhi are no match for you, but the two of them plus me can at least maintain an undefeated situation. You have no soldiers, no generals, no food, grass, baggage, and a place to stay.
, sooner or later he will be defeated." Liu Qi sneered, even with Liu Bei's troops, Zhuge Liang had no chance of winning.
This is Jingzhou. As long as he is not dead, Liu Bei will not dare to openly and honestly seek to capture Jingzhou. Otherwise, the name of benevolence and righteousness will be meaningless from now on. Moreover, even if Liu Bei comes to capture Jingzhou openly, he will not have the slightest chance of winning. Jingzhou's strength
Far higher than Liu Bei, this cannot be changed. No matter how strong Zhuge Liang is, there is only one person, and Liu Qi does not believe that he can deal with Pang Tong and Xu Shu at the same time. Historically, Jingzhou was in war and divided into independent states, which gave Liu Bei an opportunity to take advantage of.
"It seems that the eldest son is not planning to let me leave Xiangyang." Zhuge Liang said with a smile. Liu Qi just said this to ask for his loyalty. Liu Qi's intelligence will naturally not let him leave and ruin Liu Qi's plan.
"Yes, even if you don't come to Xiangyang this time, I will order someone to kidnap you." Liu Qi did not hide it. Perhaps due to the influence of later generations, Liu Qi did not want to be an enemy of Zhuge Liang from the bottom of his heart, let alone Zhuge Liang.
Efficacy for others.
After working hard and dying, Liu Qi felt a little unworthy of Zhuge Liang in history. He had talent but was born at the wrong time, and tried to change the world but failed in the end. Now that Liu Qi is reborn, he does not want this to happen again.
"Kong Ming dares to disobey orders." Zhuge Liang bowed and said. He knew that if he didn't be loyal to Liu Qi, he would probably spend the rest of his life in prison, and he also admired Liu Qi's determination on the couch.
"Haha, thank you very much." Liu Qi stood up and bowed to Zhuge Liang, picked up the teacup on the table, handed it to Zhuge Liang and said, "This cup of tea is my apology for what happened just now."
"How dare Kong Ming accept such a great gift from my lord?" Seeing Liu Qi being like this, Zhuge Liang hurriedly stood up and bowed down, and all the dissatisfaction he had with Liu Qi disappeared in his heart.
"Kong Ming, please get up." Liu Qi stepped forward with excitement and helped Zhuge Liang up. He now has Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and Xu Shu under his command, and he has a little more confidence in the future. At least he doesn't have to worry about being bullied. And it's hard to say.
I can really agree with the world.
"I came to see Kong Ming this time and wanted to ask Kong Ming for help." Liu Qi said after the two sat down.
"My lord, just do as you ask." Zhuge Liang said.
"You should know that my wedding is tomorrow, right?" Liu Qi sighed.
"My lord is worried about the situation at the wedding." Zhuge Liang was well aware of the situation in Xiangyang City, and he did not expect that a small wedding could cause such a big disturbance.
"Since my lord has become powerful, why should I hide it?" Zhuge Liang dipped his hand in water and drew a map of Kyushu on the table with a few strokes and said: "My lord currently lacks nothing but prestige. Although my lord is here,
The sun is shining brightly in Xiangyang, but how many people in the world know about my lord?"
Hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Liu Qi was shocked. Yes, he now lacks military commanders and counselors, but what he lacks is prestige. Although Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong and Xu Shu are loyal to him, there is no one else under his command except these people. Is it possible for everything?
The three of them need to handle it personally. He has no prestige and reputation, and no one will come to join him. In the future, even if he inherits Xinpi's name, it will be impossible to recruit people from Yuan Shao's command.
He only thought about making a fortune in silence but ignored this point. The reason why Liu Bei was able to occupy the southwest of Jingzhou was largely due to his reputation as a benevolent and righteous emperor.
