Liu Qi turned to look at Wu Xiong and said, "Brother Wu, how do you think General Wang will deal with Cai Yun?" Since Wu Xiong can plan the actions of the Jinfan thieves, he must not be simple-minded, but I don't know if he can see this matter thoroughly.
.
Wu Xiong naturally knew that Liu Qi was testing his depth, but at this time Wu Xiong already had a tendency to work for Liu Qi. Although Liu Qi was weak now and had few trusted people under his command, he could see that Liu Qi was not a natural in the pool.
, he becomes a dragon when encountering storms. At that time, it will be difficult to attract his attention. Now is the opportunity to show his talents and improve his status in Liu Qi's heart.
"I think Cai Yun will be fine this time." Wu Xiong said astonishingly.
"What? You don't talk nonsense, do you? Cai Yun disobeyed Liu Biao's order and went against General Wang. How can he be safe?" Liu Pan shouted first.
Even Liu Xiu and Lu Jie looked at Wu Xiong in disbelief, while Ma Zhong was the only one who was thoughtful. Gan Ning and Su Fei knew Wu Xiong's abilities very well, so they naturally knew that he would not talk nonsense and would be the calmest.
Liu Qi saw everyone's reactions in his eyes. Ma Zhong was calm and witty and worthy of training, while Liu Pan, Liu Xiu, and Lu Jie were far behind and needed more experience. He was also interested in Wu Xiong, who had just
It can be seen from his words that he has a good grasp of the situation in Xiangyang. However, Wu Xiong has never been to Xiangyang and just listening to Su Fei's introduction, Liu Qi was able to re-evaluate his talents.
"Oh, keep talking." Liu Qi asked with a calm face. Outsiders had no idea what he was thinking.
Wu Xiong felt awe in his heart, and he was even more in awe of Liu Qi, because he couldn't even see through Liu Qi. This was the first time he met Liu Qi. In the past, he could see some clues from his face no matter who he was.
He had thoughts in his mind and then responded, but Liu Qi gave him a feeling that he had no idea what to do.
"First, although Cai Yun prevented us from entering the city, with martial law in Xiangyang now, we have a legitimate excuse to embarrass Cai Yun when we are carrying weapons and horses. Everything Cai Yun did and said met the requirements, and there is no reason to punish him."
After Wu Xiong finished speaking, he glanced at Liu Qi. Seeing that Liu Qi still had a calm face, he felt a little weak for the first time. He bit the bullet and said, "Secondly, Cai Yun is a member of the Cai family. Now Liu Biao will not conflict with the Cai family. General Wang himself
We will not initiate conflicts in the first place."
"Yes, Brother Wu analyzed it very well." A smile finally appeared on Liu Qi's face. He finally had a counselor from Xiangyang. Seeing Liu Qi's smile, Wu Xiong also breathed a sigh of relief.
Liu Pan said harshly: "This kid Cai Yun is really a bargain this time. If I had known we would have taught him a lesson ourselves."
"Haha, Brother Pan, there is no need to be angry. Although Cai Yun is fine, he will not stay in the Flying Tiger Army anymore." Liu Qi said with a mysterious face.
"Brother, are you telling the truth? But you just said clearly that he is fine." Liu Pan was surprised at first and then became confused. Not only Liu Pan was confused, but everyone present was also confused.
"You will know tomorrow." Liu Qi did not explain. Wang Wei was partial to him. Liu Qi naturally knew it, but it was just a preference. It would not be good for anyone if he said it. Wang Wei is an upright person and will not let Cai Yun do it.
It existed within the Flying Tiger Army. Liu Qi guessed that he must have wanted to get rid of this chess piece before, but he just had no reason. This time he just gave him a reason.
If Liu Qi didn't say anything, no one would ask. Seeing that it was already getting late, Liu Qi asked everyone to disperse, leaving only Ma Zhong. The dim lights swayed and erratic with the flames. No one in the room spoke, and it was extremely quiet for a while.
, even the sound of breathing can be heard clearly.
Ma Zhong had already told him when he came back, but he didn't get any information from the horse chaser.
Liu Qi looked at Ma Zhong's still calm face and smiled: "Do you know why I kept you?"
"I don't know, I don't know." Ma Zhong bowed and replied.
"Yes, among all my subordinates, you are the calmest and wisest. This has already met the requirements of a general." Liu Qi said this with some helplessness. There was nothing that his subordinates could do.
People cannot do some things. Thinking of this makes me laugh at myself. I am lucky to have Liu Pan, Liu Xiu, Ma Zhong, etc. in such a short period of time. I am not satisfied yet, and maybe I will not be satisfied in the future. Xu Shu,
Zhuge Liang will never give up on people like him.
"Thank you, Lord." A trace of excitement flashed across Ma Zhong's calm eyes. Being recognized by Liu Qi meant that he was closer to leading the troops. Who is a general who doesn't want to lead troops in war? The excitement in Ma Zhong's eyes flashed past, and then recovered.
He felt calm because he knew that Liu Qi would definitely have something to say next.
Ma Zhong's reaction naturally did not escape Liu Qi's eyes. He felt that it was a pity to leave the next matter to him, but now this matter is imminent and cannot be delayed for a moment. He took a breath and looked at Ma Zhong and said: "I want to form a team
The department is specialized in collating and collecting intelligence, spying on the enemy’s military information, and going deep behind enemy lines to find out the enemy’s reality. What do you think?”
Ma Zhong's excitement suddenly cooled down. He looked at Liu Qi in disbelief and was speechless for a moment. Liu Qi's words undoubtedly indicated that he should be the leader of this department, but every prince and every family in this department has it.
Invisible to the light. By moving his bright place underground, he will be further away from the goal in his heart, and may even never be able to achieve it.
He could see Liu Qi's trust in him, and he also knew that no one under Liu Qi was more suitable for this position than him, but it was difficult for him to make a decision when he was asked to give up his childhood dream.
Seeing Ma Zhong's silence, Liu Qi did not urge him, but just waited quietly for Ma Zhong's decision.
Calmness returned to the room, and even the guards guarding the door felt a little bit depressed. They guarded the door carefully and did not dare to let out any air.
"I am willing to share the Lord's worries." Ma Zhong finally spoke to break the seemingly long silence. His heart was not as peaceful as it appeared on the surface, and it would not be easy for anyone who gives up on the dream he has been working hard for. But the reality is so cruel,
It gave you a glimmer of hope, but in the blink of an eye, this glimmer of hope was extinguished in reality. He knew that if he agreed, it would mean that he was truly regarded as a confidant by Liu Qi, and there might be a possibility of going to the battlefield in the future, but he
If he refuses, Liu Qi will not blame him and will not trust him as before. People who cannot share the Lord's worries will be alienated no matter how good they are. Unless he chooses a new master, who among the princes in the world
Only Liu Qi will give him a chance to choose.
Liu Qi heard Ma Zhong's answer and breathed a sigh of relief. He was really worried that Ma Zhong would not agree and he would lose a general, but now he is fine. Liu Qi smiled and said to Ma Zhong: "Zhengping did not disappoint me. I know what you want."
Galloping on the battlefield, you can rest assured that I will find a suitable candidate as soon as possible, and then you can naturally go to the battlefield again."
When Ma Zhong heard Liu Qi's promise, he felt relieved. Since Liu Qi had said it, he would not break his promise.
After Gan Ning arrived in Xiangyang, Liu Qi arranged for him to live in the east courtyard. When the Eight Hundred Cavalry came, they were also arranged here so that Gan Ning could meet them. The Eight Hundred Cavalry had already rested after a day's journey. The bright moonlight covered the ground.
Apply a layer of silver frost.
At this time, the three brothers Gan Ning, Su Fei and Wu Xiong were discussing in the room.
Gan Ning sighed: "I also thought about how carefree and carefree we were in the past, but I didn't expect that we would be in such a bad situation now, which would affect our brothers." If he hadn't wanted to find a way out for his brothers at that time, he would have done it.
There would be no dilemma today.
Su Fei saw that Gan Ning was in a low mood and said: "Brother, why do you have to belittle yourself? We brothers all work with eldest brother. If it weren't for eldest brother, where would we be? Big brother has endured the humiliation for the brothers. If anyone dares to complain, I will kill him."
No. Besides, we are just tolerating it for now. The eldest son treats eldest brother with great courtesy and will definitely use him in the future."
Gan Ning looked at Su Fei's blushing face and shook his head: "Although the eldest son treats me well, the current situation of the eldest son is not good. It is hard to say what will happen in the future."
Su Fei wanted to say something more, but Wu Xiong, who had been silent for the whole time, said, "Brother, don't be anxious. I think the eldest son is an extraordinary person, and he will definitely determine the fate of the world. Although it is difficult to unify the world, it should be no problem to unite the princes.
of."
Gan Ning was a little surprised. This was the first time he heard his third brother speak so highly of others. He couldn't help but ask: "Why is your third brother so sure? This is the first time you have met." Su Fei also looked confused.
Look at Wu Xiong.
Wu Xiong shook his head and said helplessly: "It's just based on intuition."
"Intuition?" Gan Ning and Su Fei were a little confused. They said before that Liu Qi was able to separate one side by relying on his intuition. Although he trusted Wu Xiong's intuition, he was a little at a loss this time.
Wu Xiong knew that this time was a bit mysterious, so he smiled bitterly and said, "I can't see through it, Mr.
Gan Ning and Su Fei both had serious expressions on their faces. This was the first time that Wu Xiong could not understand someone, and it was also the first time that he had given such a high evaluation to someone. They knew Wu Xiong's abilities very well after having known each other for several years.
Yes, he still has some skills in observing people. No matter who the other person is, he can know what the other person needs and what is on his mind after meeting him for a few times. He has never made a miscalculation.
Now he can't even see through Liu Qi, what does that mean? It means Liu Qi is not simple, very not simple.
"I talked to the eldest son, but I couldn't grasp what he was thinking, and I couldn't see any clues from his appearance." Wu Xiong thought of Liu Qi's calm eyes and calm expression just now, and felt unprecedentedly powerless. "But my intuition
Tell me, the eldest son is not simple, and I think he is worthy of our allegiance."
Gan Ning didn't expect Wu Xiong to say this and hesitated for a moment: "Let's take a look. This is related to the future of our brothers. Don't be careless."
"Eldest brother, it's better to decide earlier. There is a shortage of talents around the eldest young master now. If you apply here, you will definitely be reused. It's hard to say in the future. If you miss it, it will be your whole life." Wu Xiong also knew that the matter at this time was very cautious, but he still couldn't help but remind him.
.
Gan Ning nodded, looking out the window with eyes that were sometimes firm, sometimes hesitant, and sometimes helpless.
