In Liu Qi's mansion, Jia Xu did not conceal the situation in Zhang Xiu's mansion and thought to Liu Qi in detail. He knew that Liu Qi might already know what Zhang Xiu talked with him. If it was covered up, it would only make Liu Qi even more suspicious.
"Haha, it seems that Mr. Xuanwei is not doing well in Xiangyang?" Liu Qi smiled.
"The Lord Xuanwei is a military general and stayed in Xiangyang for a long time. If the eldest son could send it to the battlefield, I think the Lord Xuanwei would definitely not blame the eldest son." After all, Zhang Xiu and him had been together for several years.
After all, I naturally would not watch Zhang Xiu beheaded by Liu Qi.
"Oh, do you dare to guarantee it at this time?" Liu Qi was a little surprised that Jia Xu actually pleaded for Zhang Xiu. You know, Jia Xu was low-key in order to protect himself, and now he actually did not keep a low profile in order to repay Zhang Xiu's favor.
Embroidered mercy.
"I am willing to guarantee it." After a while of silence, Jia Xu bowed and said, under Zhang Xiu's command, Zhang Xiu obeyed his words. Now Liu Qi clearly has no intention of killing Zhang Xiu, and it is just that he has given Zhang Xiu a favor.
when.
"Since that's the case, let's see how Mr. Xuanwei reacted." Liu Qi smiled and asked Jia Xu to retreat, and said to the soldiers outside the door: "Go and invite Mr. Xuanwei to come."
This time, Liu Qi's goal has been achieved. After all, if you force too much, it will backfire. As for Zhang Xiu, Liu Qi does not have any plans to pursue the matter. Now, only Zhang Xiu can use it if he is suitable for Jingzhou to pacify Jingnan.
He did this just to hit Zhang Xiu.
Soon, Zhang Xiu walked in with a nervous look on his face. Zhang Xiu was uneasy since Jia Xu left. After thinking about it, he finally understood what Jia Xu said. His every move in Xiangyang was under Liu Qi's surveillance.
Below, wasn’t he who met Cao Cao’s envoy privately under Liu Qi’s surveillance? Is he going to punish him now by Liu Qi? He has no power to resist at this time.
After entering the study, Zhang Xiu bowed and said, "I have met the eldest son."
"Yes." Liu Qi nodded and ignored it, looking down at the letter in his hand.
Seeing that Liu Qi was huh, she ignored her and ignored her. Zhang Xiu felt even more uneasy. She looked up at Liu Qi and saw that Liu Qi had no expression on her face. Zhang Xiu secretly guessed how Liu Qi would punish him and whether he would kill him directly?
Xiu was waiting nervously. Zhang Xiu's clothes were already wet with cold sweat.
After half an hour, Liu Qi raised his head and looked at Zhang Xiu and asked, "Does Mr. Xuan Wei know why he is here?"
"I don't know." Zhang Xiu gritted his teeth.
"Oh, Mr. Xuanwei knows what is written on this letter paper?" Liu Qi took a letter he had just read in his hand and pointed it at Zhang Xiu.
"I don't know." Zhang Xiu's forehead was already faintly sweating.
"Haha, since that's the case, let's take a look." Liu Qi threw the bamboo slips in his hand to Zhang Xiu.
Zhang Xiu hurriedly took the bamboo slips and opened them. He saw that the bamboo slips recorded what he had done in Xiangyang for more than ten days, nearly a hundred of them, big and small, and the passage of each incident was recorded here.
It was extremely detailed, and before Zhang Xiu could finish his face was scared.
"Half Xuanwei lived a leisurely life in Xiangyang? I was so comfortable to plan things when I saw people planning." Liu Qi smiled.
"Please forgive me for your crime," Zhang Xiu hurriedly bowed. He knew that his life was in Liu Qi's hands at this time. As long as Liu Qi wanted to kill him, he just needed to give him an order, and no one would take over him.
He spoke.
"Oh, what capital do you have to let me let you go?" Liu Qi narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhang Xiu and said coldly.
"If the eldest son can let go of this, my subordinates will work hard for the eldest son." Zhang Xiu leaned on the ground and spoke.
"Haha, Mr. Xuanwei remember what you said last time? Then why should I believe you this time?" Liu Qi said in a deep voice.
Was stunned by Liu Qi's words. Zhang Xiu thought of showing loyalty in front of Liu Qi last time. It was only more than ten days before he did this. Even if he was himself, he would not believe in himself.
Thinking of Zhang Xiu, he was already a little desperate. His head lowered and his eyes were flickering. If it was a last resort, he would kidnap Liu Qi and rush out of Xiangyang.
At this moment, Liu Qi's voice sounded again: "But this time Wenhe pleads for you, I will let you go once. If there is a next time you and Jia Wenhe, please stay in that prison together."
Zhang Xiu didn't expect Liu Qi to let him go. When he heard Liu Qi's words, he was extremely grateful to Jia Xu and said hurriedly: "Don't worry, eldest son, there will be no next time."
"I will know this later." Liu Qi waved his hand and said, "How long can you calm down the affairs of Wuling County?"
Zhang Xiu suddenly realized in his heart that this was the reason why Liu Qi let him go. If he had no ability to pacify Jingnan, he would have no value in the second half of his life. Liu Qi could get rid of him at any time.
"The last time we will be able to pacify Jingnan within half a month and defeat the Wuxi barbarians and drive them out of Wuling County." When Zhang Xiu knew that this was exactly what he was doing, he gritted his teeth and bowed.
"Since that's the case, you get up and rush to Wuling County tomorrow. Then I'll give you a month. If you can't pacify Wuling County, I think you can only retire in Xiangyang." Liu Qi continued: "The soldiers that can be mobilized in Jingzhou at present
There are not many horses, I will mobilize 5,000 troops from Changsha and Lingling for you, plus the remaining troops in Wuling County. I hope you can pacify Wuling County as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, my eldest son, I will definitely not disappoint my eldest son." Although there were only 5,000 soldiers and horses, Zhang Xiu didn't feel anything because of this, and bowed.
"As far as I know, the Wuxi barbarians and Gong Zhi who had surrendered, both sides had 15,000 troops together. Mr. Xuanwei should be cautious." Liu Qi reminded him when he saw that Zhang Xiu did not care at all.
"This..." Zhang Xiu was stunned immediately. He fought with his troops three times his own and had to be pacified within one month. Even he couldn't believe it.
"Don't worry, those 15,000 soldiers are just a mob. As long as you are careful, it's enough for some 5,000 soldiers. If it's time to go down and prepare." Liu Qi said, waved his hand and asked Zhang Xiu to retreat.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiu left the study helplessly. Although Liu Qi did not pursue the previous incident, he did not feel any relaxed in his heart. He did not believe that the 15,000 soldiers and horses that Liu Qi said were a group of mobs, from the Wuxi barbarians.
He also heard about the situation that the remaining Wuxi barbarians who fought for years were the real elites, and the troops under Gong Zhi were originally the garrisons of Wuling County. How could it be a mob?
Sighing, Zhang Xiu walked out of the mansion. Not long after he left, he saw Jia Xu standing not far away in front of him as if waiting for someone. Zhang Xiu stepped forward and bowed, "Wenhe."
"General, how are you okay?" Jia Xu smiled faintly.
"Thank you for Wenhe this time." Zhang Xiu bowed and bowed to Jia Xu. Although Liu Qi left him with a chance to quell the rebellion, if it were not for Jia Xu's plea, how could Liu Qi give him a chance?
.
"Haha, the general doesn't need to be polite. Wenhe is now in the past with the care of the general. Wenhe does this just to repay the general's past grace. The eldest son's methods are extraordinary. In the future, the general should not take risks."
After Jia Xu bowed to Zhang Xiu, then turned around and left.
Seeing Jia Xu like this, Zhang Xiu felt even more disappointed. He knew that from today on, he and Jia Xu would never be as close as before. From now on, Jia Xu and he were just officials who served Liu Qi. The two of them were
There is no longer any relationship between them, and Jia Xu himself will no longer want to help him like this today.
Thinking that his original subordinates are now strangers to him and serving others, Zhang Xiu felt unspeakable. If he was not greedy for the benefits that Cao Cao promised, even if he and Jia Xu were not as close as before, he would not have the same intimacy as before.
It wouldn't be as strange as it is now. Jia Xu did this and was afraid that he would really do something irreversible, which implicated the Jia Xu family, so Jia Xu returned the favor to him early and distinguished the two of them.
The relationship between.
Thinking of Zhang Xiu's self-deprecating. If it weren't for Jia Xu, he might have been foolishly planning to launch a turmoil in Xiangyang. At that time, his family would probably be killed by Liu Qi on the spot. Zhang Xiu took a deep breath and stopped.
Aroused the thoughts in my heart, got on the carriage and headed towards the mansion.
Shortly after Zhang Xiu left, Liu Qi immediately ordered all the Jinyiwei to go out to inquire about the actions of Cai Mao and others. It is better to eliminate Cai Mao and others than to get rid of them. If they were dragged to Cai Mao and others to make trouble in advance, it would be detrimental to the situation in Jingzhou.
Cai Mao and others would mobilize the Cai clan's troops to Xiangyang if they wanted to make an action. Once they started, they would be full of concerns. If the Cai clan's troops took the opportunity to attack Xiangyang, even if the Flying Tiger Army could defend it, they would probably suffer heavy losses.
And Liu Qi aims to conquer these tens of thousands of soldiers, how could he watch Cai Mao and others take action?
After receiving Liu Qi's order, the remaining hundreds of people from the Jinyiwei immediately went out to inquire about the news about Cai Mao and others. In less than half an hour, news about Cai Mao and others reached Liu Qi one by one.
Liu Qi just read it and handed the news to Jia Xu. This time, the Cai clan was eradicated, and Liu Qi had already handed it to Jia Xu for handling. Jia Xu claimed to be a "poison soldier". Liu Qi believed that he could not respond to Cai Mao and others.
When they came here, they captured all the Cai family.
Liu Qi didn't care what methods Jia Xu would use. Even if Jia Xu used any disgraceful methods, Liu Qi wouldn't care. Since Cai Mao and others have decided to rebel, there is no need to show any mercy.
After handing over this matter to Jia Xu, Liu Qi began to consider how to snatch the troops from Cai Mao and others. He needed to plan this matter himself. You should know that Cai Mao and others have been in control of these troops for a long time and will definitely be able to be in the army.
Some confidants, if they are not handled well, it is likely to cause a mutiny.
