The only generals Jingzhou can have now are Wenpin and Wang Wei. However, Wenpin is confronting Zhang Xiu of Wancheng, and Wang Wei has to defend Xiangyang. He cannot spare any manpower to quell the rebellion for a while, so Huang Zu is available.
, but he still has to guard Jiangxia and guard against Jiangdong. The others are all people from aristocratic families, and Liu Biao cannot believe them.
The hall fell into silence for a while. Although Cai Mao and others wanted to get involved in this position to strengthen themselves, they all knew that Liu Biao would not give them this opportunity.
Cai Hao looked at Liu Qi who was standing aside and turned his eyes. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he stepped forward and said: "My eldest son, this suppression of rebellion is the eldest son's proposal. Why not let the eldest son be the commander in chief of this rebellion? What did the eldest son think just now?"
Being meticulous and cool-headed is the perfect choice for a commander-in-chief."
When Zhang Yun heard what Cai Mao said, he looked at Liu Qi with a smile in his eyes and stepped forward and said: "Yes, as the commander in chief of this rebellion, the eldest son can shock the surrounding people and show the majesty of Lord Zhou Mu."
People from the Cai family also stepped forward to agree, while the officials who supported Liu Qi looked at them with fire in their eyes.
When Liu Biao heard what Cai Mao said, a murderous intention arose in his heart, and he just looked at Liu Qi with an oh. Although he knew that Cai Hao was just borrowing a knife to kill people, Liu Qi was indeed the best candidate to be the coach. Liu Qi's victory would represent him, and his defeat would also undermine his prestige.
No impact.
Liu Qi originally planned to leave Xiangyang to develop his power outside, but when he heard what Cai Mao said, even though he knew he had bad intentions, he was still very happy, but his expression did not change at all, "Father, my son is willing to serve as the head coach of this counter-rebellion. This is only my first time."
As a leader, I have no experience. If something goes wrong, I will be sorry for the support of my father and all the experts." After saying this, he retreated with a face of shame.
Liu Biao nodded when he heard what Liu Qi said, thinking that what Liu Qi said made sense. Although Liu Qi was very suitable, he had never led an army or fought in a war.
Liu Biao turned his head and looked at Wang Wei, hoping that he would give some advice. But before Wang Wei could say anything, Cai Mao stood up again and said: "It is indeed an omission that the eldest son has not led troops, but if he sends someone who is familiar with the battlefield, he will do it."
The deputy commander-in-chief can ensure that nothing goes wrong. Cai He, the younger brother of Xiaguan, has been familiar with the art of war since he was a child. He has been on many battlefields in the past few years without making any mistakes, so he should be the deputy commander-in-chief."
Liu Biao looked at Cai Mao with a somewhat gloomy look. He thought he was borrowing a knife to kill someone, but he didn't expect that he had this trick. Liu Biao ignored Cai Mao and looked at Wang Wei.
Wang Wei stepped forward and said: "The general thinks that what the military advisor said is reasonable, but we just need to add five hundred flying tiger guards for the eldest son to make the strategy complete."
After Wang Wei finished speaking, everyone in the audience changed their expressions. The Flying Tiger Guards were selected on the basis of the Flying Tiger Army. There are only two thousand people in total who have been looked after by Wang Wei like treasures. In addition to giving Liu Biao five hundred people as
Except for the guards, the others had been in the Flying Tiger Army. Wang Wei sent 500 people for Liu Qi this time, which was unprecedented.
When Cai Mao heard what Wang Wei said, his face was a little gloomy. Unexpectedly, Wang Wei turned to Liu Qi. It seemed that something was wrong. But he still stepped forward and said: "What General Wang said is absolutely true. There are five hundred flying tiger guards."
The young master will definitely be able to win the battle and annihilate the rebellion in one fell swoop."
Liu Qi knew that he had taken advantage of enough and was about to stop. The reason why he declined just now was because he wanted to get some benefits from Liu Biao. Now that he had five hundred Flying Tiger Guards, it was beyond his expectation. "With the addition of the Flying Tiger Guards,
I will definitely kill the traitor and kill Zhang Xian for my father."
Yi Ji had already known and supported Liu Qi's decision to leave Xiangyang and develop outside. Cai Mao had no objection when he came out just now, so he stood up this time: "The lower official also thinks that the eldest son is the most suitable candidate. There are five hundred flying tiger guards who can protect the eldest son.
Conducive to the invincible position."
Liu Biao also nodded in agreement, "In that case, I will appoint Qi'er as the commander-in-chief of this counter-rebellion, as the general of the Southern Conquest, and Cai He as the deputy general. All military supplies matters will be supervised by an Iraqi. If anyone dares to slack off and is arrogant, he will be severely punished.
No loan." After saying that, he stood up and left.
"No." Everyone bowed in response.
"I will live up to my father's trust." Liu Qi was a little excited and finally left the prison of Xiangyang.
Then everyone left one after another. Zhang Yun and others rushed to Cai Mao's house as soon as they left. When they arrived, Cai Hao and Cai He were already waiting in the study. Several people sat down one after another, looking at Cai Mao and not knowing how to speak.
When Zhang Yun saw that no one was speaking, he asked first: "Isn't there a deeper meaning in recommending Liu Qi as the coach this time?"
Cai Mao nodded and sighed, "I originally wanted to use Zhang Xian's help to get rid of Liu Qi, and then let his younger brother take over. No one could say anything to suppress the rebellion, but I didn't expect Wang Wei to show up and send out the Flying Tiger Guards."
Zhang Yun's face changed when he heard Cai Mao said that he wanted to get rid of Liu Qi. He was a little worried at the end of the hearing: "Wang Wei is really damned. He won't mess up our plan, right?"
Cai Hao laughed and said: "Haha, he is not worthy. I can deal with Liu Qi freely. Wang Wei thought that he could protect Liu Qi with the Flying Tiger Guards. That is a big mistake."
"Does your Majesty have any other options?" an official couldn't help but ask.
"There were no late recruits. This is what I call a chain plan. Although Liu Qi is the coach, he has no prestige and cannot be successful. When he leaves Xiangyang, how will he control the situation in Xiangyang? It cannot be sustained by just one Yiji. It is not us.
It has the final say. As for whether the Flying Tiger Guards will be on the battlefield when they arrive, my brother will find someone
The excuse is that life and death on the battlefield are unpredictable. Even if Liu Qi dies, we can't be blamed." Cai Hao took a sip of tea and continued: "Taking a step back, even if Liu Qi wins, it will be a great achievement.
Earthquake Master, we have our own way to prevent him from returning to Xiangyang and die in Changsha."
Zhang Yun's face turned pale with fright. He didn't expect that Cai Mao's plan would be so cruel to deal with Liu Qi's death. He said hurriedly: "Sir, it's not easy for Master Zhou Mu to explain this to you."
Cai Mao shook his head: "All the aristocratic families in Xiangyang are on our side. He doesn't dare to touch us yet, and he has his sister in the middle."
Zhang Yun was still a little worried, but Cai Hao was already impatient, "Okay, I have my own sense of discretion. That's it for today. This matter is not allowed to be revealed. If I know who told it..." Cai Hao did not say the following words,
But the people below all shuddered and hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare."
A lot of people gathered in Liu Qi's house at this time, including Li Gui, who is from Yili, and several others who were Liu Qi's supporters.
Liu Qi looked at the people and said, "Thank you all very much. Without your support, I, Liu Qi, would not be alive today."
Yi Ji handed over his hand and said: "There, these are what we should do. Cai Mao and others are so ambitious, how can we let them get what they want."
Yi Ji had just finished speaking to Li Gui and said, "Yes, what we do is what we should do."
Several others nodded in agreement.
Liu Qi talked with them for a while before they left. Only Yi Ji stayed.
Liu Qi asked worriedly: "What do you think Cai Mao will do, sir?"
Yi Ji shook his head and said: "He is indeed a little abnormal this time, but he must have some purpose for doing this. You must pay attention to Cai He. He is Cai Yun's father. Cai Yun left the Feihu Army because of you. He will definitely not
If possible, get rid of those who are of the same mind as you as soon as possible to avoid bad things."
Liu Qi nodded. He would never be soft on his enemies, so it would be better to eliminate one of them early.
"However, if there is a young master with his support, Magnetism will be safe." Yi Ji said with a serious face.
"Oh, who?" Liu Qi asked in a group, who else in Xiangyang could make Yi Ji so solemn.
"This man is a friend of mine, and he is in my house now. He has learned a lot and has many talents. He knows everything about astronomy and geography, and he is also very good at military and military strategies. If he can be used by the eldest son, he will definitely benefit a lot.
"Yi Ji said with admiration.
"But the young man who followed your husband at his father's birthday banquet the day before yesterday?" Liu Qi asked. He remembered that Yi Ji hurried back home after the meeting that day. He thought it was because of this friend. If he is really as amazing as he said, then
You must catch the right kind of person around Liu Qi now.
"Yes, it is this person. Sir, don't underestimate this person just because he is young. This person is not only amazing in strategy, but also amazing in martial arts. He is a master in both civil and military affairs." Yi Ji did not expect that Liu Qi had noticed this person, and was afraid that Liu Qi would despise him.
hurriedly explained.
"Don't worry, sir, talent is never greater with age. Real talents are often different from the beginning. Besides, there are specialties in the industry, and everyone's circumstances are different." Liu Qi shook his head and said. He wanted to meet him more and more.
This prodigy, someone whose ability is so praised by Yiji, is extraordinary.
"Sir, please give me a recommendation. There are not many people in the world who can receive such praise from you," Liu Qi said.
"Haha, don't worry, young master. I have convinced him to see you. I will come with him tomorrow. You must be prepared," Yi Ji said with a smile when he saw Liu Qi being so anxious to meet people.
"No, a wizard must be treated like a wizard. I can go and meet him in person. I'll go to your husband's house tomorrow, and I can borrow the money from his house." Liu Qi felt that since he was a wizard, he must be arrogant.
On the one hand, if you let him come to the house, it will not be easy to recruit him even if you agree with him. Liu Qi went to invite him, leaving a good impression and making it easier to contact him.
"Eldest Young Master, I don't have to worry if you do this. I'm afraid that if the Eldest Young Master can't surrender for a while, it will be troublesome. Now it seems that I'm worrying too much." Yi Ji was a little relieved to see Liu Qi's reasoning.
Most of the princes and nobles looked down upon the common people. Fortunately, Liu Qi did not get into this bad habit.
"Sir, everyone in the world is equal. I just have this status because I was born into a good family. There is nothing to show off. Our ancestors grew up in the grass and were farmers before Guangwu. How can I compare?
Go to them." Liu Qi received modern education, and there was no difference between civilians and nobles in his eyes.
"Okay. Hahaha, if the young master has such a big heart, he will definitely achieve great success in the future." Liu Qi's words were beyond his expectation, and Yi Ji couldn't help but laugh.
Yi Ji He Liu Qi gave some details and agreed on a time before leaving.
