The speaker was Liu Xian, son of Liu Du, the prefect of Lingling. Liu Xian was in his twenties, but he was one of the Five Tigers of Jingnan with both civil and military skills. He was brave and resourceful and had a great reputation in the local area.
Sitting opposite Liu Xian was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties. This man was Liu Du, the current Lingling Grand Administrator. After Liu Du succeeded Lingling Grand Administrator, he ordered his son Liu Xian and General Xing Daorong to command the county soldiers.
Ma, killed the Wuxi barbarians who were causing trouble in Lingling, and their prestige in Lingling was unmatched.
Hearing Liu Xian's inquiry, Liu Du nodded and said: "Yes, this is the Xiangyang spy report that was just sent. I was ordered to go to Xiangyang with General Xing."
"Does father have any doubts?" Seeing Liu Du's worried look, Liu Xian asked with a frown. In his opinion, being able to go to Xiangyang is an opportunity for his father. He must know that his father brought more than ten people with him in Lingling.
Years have passed, and this trip to Xiangyang can be a good opportunity to show loyalty to Liu Qi and take the opportunity to establish a foothold in Xiangyang.
"As a father, I do have some doubts. I don't know whether this trip to Xiangyang will be a blessing or a curse. You must know that once the emperor and his courtiers, the eldest son succeeds as the pastor of Jingzhou, the situation in Beijing and Zhuhai will be different. Although Lingling
The mountain is high and the emperor is far away, Xiang
Yang often has no control over this place, but now among the nine counties in Jingzhou, only Lingling and Guiyang have not been controlled by the eldest son. This time when the eldest son goes to Xiangyang, he will definitely attack Lingling and Guiyang, as his father
Don’t know how to choose?”
Liu Du shook his head and sighed. Although he had been away from Xiangyang these years, he had lived a very comfortable life without having to worry about it all day long. This time he went to Xiangyang, maybe his good days would come to an end.
"Father, there is nothing difficult to decide. Now the eldest son is gaining momentum. Both the Feilong Army and the Flying Tiger Army are under the control of the eldest son, and most of the entire Jingzhou is already under the control of the eldest son. Even my father
There is nothing to do if you want to resist. It is better to hand over the position of Lingling Prefect directly and gain the trust of the eldest son. Moreover, Lingling is far away from Xiangyang.
It's too far away. Even if something happens, I can't take care of it. It's better to take the opportunity to establish a foothold in Xiangyang. Now the eldest son clearly wants to compete with the princes of the world. There is really no merit to be established in Lingling. On the contrary,
There are still many things that can be done in Xiangyang. As long as my father gains the trust of the eldest son, there will be no need to worry about not having a chance to stand out in the future."
Liu Xian frowned and said, since Liu Qi first left Xiangyang, he began to pay attention to Liu Qi. Since then, Liu Qi has become more powerful day by day, and the soldiers and horses in his hands are getting stronger day by day. He is determined to follow Liu Qi. Jingzhou and so on
Nian is really too weak, and he can't stand it for a long time.
"Having said that, the power struggle in Xiangyang is so serious. If you are not careful, you will lose everything. It is better to live comfortably here in Lingling."
Liu Du was very clear about Liu Xian's thoughts. Liu Xian was still young and at the age where he could make great achievements, so he was not surprised that he had such thoughts.
"Father, why did the intelligence only ask my father and General Xing to go to Xiangyang, but not me? Does my father know the reason?" Liu Xiandao.
"Haha, if we are really summoned to Xiangyang, I don't dare to go." Liu Du smiled and said that Liu Qi was just trying to reassure him.
"Since my father knows what the eldest son is thinking, he should know that the entire Jingzhou is now in the hands of the eldest son. Since my father has no intention of escaping from the eldest son's control, he can only rush to Xiangyang as soon as possible to support the eldest son. Otherwise, what will happen to him?"
Not to make the eldest son suspicious
, the Cai family has just been exterminated, and there are still many aristocratic families in Jingzhou who are disobeying the eldest son. If the eldest son is allowed to think that his father has the same thoughts as these aristocratic families, then the whole Lingling will probably become uneasy because of this.
Liu Xian said with a solemn expression.
"The eldest son is right. Although the general does not understand these things, he also knows that only by gaining the trust of the eldest son can the lord be able to establish himself in Jingzhou. Otherwise, if the eldest son feels that the lord has different intentions, the troops stationed in Changsha County may
Arrive at Lingling immediately." Xing Daorong nodded.
"I know, I was just thinking if Xian'er and General Xing were rushed to Xiangyang together, the eldest son would be dissatisfied." Liu Du glanced at Liu Xian. He knew what Liu Xian was thinking. If Liu Xian could go to Xiangyang and say
Maybe he will be appreciated by Liu Qi.
"No, now in the whole Jingzhou only Lingling and Guiyang are not under the control of the eldest son. If my father does not go to Xiangyang in person, others will only think that my father is shirk." Liu Xian immediately shook his head and said.
"Then I can only go there in person." Liu Du sighed.

At the same time, in the prefecture of Guiyang County, Guiyang Prefect Zhao Fan also summoned his generals Bao Long and Chen Ying to discuss going to Xiangyang.
However, unlike Liu Du, Liu Du did not take the position of Changsha Governor too seriously, while Zhao Fan was far less magnanimous than Liu Du.
"If my lord is worried, don't go on this trip to Xiangyang. Just send someone to deliver a letter." Looking at Zhao Fan's worried look, Bao Long said.
"How can that be done? My lord is now alone. If he doesn't go, it won't give Liu Qi an excuse to deal with my lord." Chen Ying shook his head and retorted.
"That's all, please step back first." Zhao Fan waved his hand for the two of them to step back, and he took the spy information and read it carefully.
The intelligence only allowed him and the grand prize Bao Long to go to Xiangyang, but General Chen Ying did not mention at all that he was obviously asked to stay in Guiyang, but this made Zhao Fan even more worried.
Few people in Jingzhou knew that he was recommended by Cai Hao as the governor of Guiyang. Speaking of which, he was considered a member of the Cai family. Liu Qi's sudden rise to suppress the Cai family some time ago had already made him uneasy, and the sudden downfall of the Cai family
It made him even more frightened. In fact, the whole Jingzhou was secretly following the
There are many forces loyal to the Cai family, and these forces are more or less controlled by the Cai family. They should be extremely happy when the Cai family is destroyed, but it happened that a bamboo slip recording his relationship with the Cai family appeared the day before yesterday.
In his study, he suddenly lost his sense of place.
The entire Jingzhou knew that the Cai family was Liu Qi's mortal enemy. Once this matter spread, he would die. The bamboo slips also said that he would secretly support the young master Liu Cong. He has been thinking about the gains and losses in these days.
Only the important people in the Cai family know about his affairs with the Cai family, not even Mrs. Cai. Now that this bamboo slip appears here, it is obvious that there is still someone alive in the Cai family and he is an important figure in the Cai family.
Although secretly supporting Liu Cong is extremely dangerous, what you get is much more than what you pay. Now that Liu Qi's power has taken shape, he may not be able to gain Liu Qi's trust by joining Liu Qi, even if he gains Liu Qi's trust the most
It can only maintain one Guiyang governor unchanged.
But if he supports Liu Cong, once Liu Cong stands up in the future, he will get more than just Guiyang County. Although the Cai family is powerful, its power has shrunk sharply after the last heavy blow. He can be sure that his power must be
Liu Cong currently holds the strongest power, which means that once Liu Cong turns around, he may be the next Cai family, or even replace Liu Cong.
"General, a man claiming to be Chai came to see him." At this moment, a voice sounded outside the door.
"Let him come in." Zhao Fan's eyes flashed, isn't Chai Cai? I want to see who else in the Cai family is still alive.
"Long time no see, Prefect Zhao." Not long after, a loud voice came in, which made Zhao Fan in the room tremble.
Zhao Fan raised his head and looked at the door, and was even more surprised. He heard the voice and felt it was Cai Xun, but he didn't expect it to be true. Among Cai Mao's brothers, Cai Xun was the best at conspiracy and his ruthless methods.
The last thing he expected to meet was that Cai Xun was not dead.
"What, you don't know the prefect?" Cai Xun looked at Zhao Fandao with a smile.
After waving his hand to ask the surrounding guards to retreat, Zhao Fan let Cai Xun enter the room: "I knew you wouldn't die easily."
"Haha, I'm afraid that Governor Zhao wishes for my death." Cai Xun shook his head and said, "I came here this time to ask how Governor Zhao is thinking about it."
"Brother Cai is joking. The Cai family gave me this post, how can I refuse?" Zhao Fan said with a smile.
"Oh, Governor Zhao will not regret today's decision." Cai Xun seemed to have expected that Zhao Fan would agree, so he was not surprised.
"I don't know what Brother Cai wants to do next. After Liu Qi consolidates the forces in Jingzhou, it will be difficult to stand up." Zhao Fan asked.
"Haha, then Liu Qi killed dozens of aristocratic families in Xiangyang at once, and took back the military power of the Kuai family. Now he has summoned aristocratic families from all counties to gather in Xiangyang. Obviously he wants to take the opportunity to suppress the aristocratic families, so I will provoke these
Regarding the relationship between the aristocratic families and Liu Qi, as long as these aristocratic families unite to resist Liu Qi, the entire Jingzhou will be in chaos. The more chaotic Jingzhou is, the better the situation will be for us." Cai Xun did not hide it.
"Oh, there are so many aristocratic families in Jingzhou, I wonder which aristocratic families you want to attack?" Zhao Fan said.
"My Cai family has supported so many aristocratic families for more than ten years. Now that the Cai family has just fallen, if these families have become disobedient, they will be of no use in the world." Cai Xun sneered.
"This..." Zhao Fan felt cold in his heart and was frightened by Cai Xun's ruthless methods.
"Why, Governor Zhao is unwilling?" Cai Xun took Zhao Fan's expression in his eyes and took a look at Zhao Fan.
"Why don't you want to? Just follow your wishes." Zhao Fan exhaled.
