Chapter 31: Liu's Father and Son
"My son!"
When Liu Biao saw Liu Qi very happy, he took a step towards Liu Qi.
When he arrived in front of him, Liu Biao grabbed Liu Qi's hand, and a layer of mist was faintly covered in the old eyes.
"All the thieves in Xiangyang are all purged by Boyu as their father. The land of a county is peaceful every night. Boyu is worthy of being the tiger among the Liu clan in Shanyang!" Liu Biao's tone was a little excited, and he praised Liu Qi without hesitation.
Liu Qi said modestly: "My father praised him too much. The child just happened to be a coincidence. How dare he be called a tiger?"
"That's wrong!" Liu Biao shook his head and said affirmatively: "If you make it, you will be made. How can you not be so many coincidences? I said you are the Liu Huzi, then you are the Liu Huzi!"
Speaking of this, Liu Biao reached out and patted Liu Qi on the shoulder, and said affirmatively again: "My son is a real tiger!"
The Chinese language is profound and profound. Looking at the five continents, no country can compare with the charm of Chinese literature and its broad meaning.
Just like now, it is obviously a saying of praise, but to Liu Qi, it sounds like a scolding person.
He smiled helplessly and asked, "When will my father go to Jiangxia, he hides the child from it... The father shouldn't have told him that he doesn't even tell him whereabouts. If there is any danger, the child may not be able to help."
Liu Qi's words come from the heart.
The old man in front of him is his closest relative in this world, and he also gave him a place to settle down.
Whether it is from the perspective of emotion, reason or emotion, or even from the perspective of kindness, Liu Qi feels that he has the obligation to fulfill filial piety to Liu Biao.
Moreover, the time for filial piety is getting tighter and tighter, and I am no longer waiting for it.
In Liu Qi's opinion, no matter how powerful Liu Biao is, he is nearly fifty years old. In this era when the average life span is not very high, Liu Biao can be called a person who has today but not tomorrow.
Liu Biao heard the concern in Liu Qi's tone and felt very relieved.
He laughed and said, "My son, I have single-handedly settled the situation in Xiangyang, conquered Nanjun in one fell swoop, and eliminated the clan thieves. How could I fall behind my son? The strength of the clan thieves in Jiangxia County is not as strong as that of Nanjun, and I am enough to settle it."
"When did my father leave Luoyang?"
Liu Biao said: "On the day when you handed over the military affairs of the Northern Army, I had already handed over the military affairs of the Northern Army. I wanted to travel lightly and quietly, but I secretly lurked to Jingzhou to do things. I never thought that you would send a letter from home, so I rushed over before. I wanted to get along with you in Nanjun, but after thinking about it, I might as well make plans. I stayed in Luoyang for the time being, pretending to delay, and see how big the climate you can achieve, and then make plans."
After a pause, Liu Biao said, "You did not disappoint me."
After hearing Liu Biao's words, Liu Qi couldn't help but admire Liu Biao.
The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind. Liu Biao may be a bit lame in military ability, but his political literacy is absolutely first-class.
If he could accomplish something in Nanjun, he would go to Jiangxia County secretly and take action separately. The father and son joined forces to stabilize the two counties in Jingbei in the shortest time.
If he couldn't accomplish anything, Liu Biao would follow him and secretly come to Nanjun again to act according to the opportunity, and his whole family would not be wiped out.
Thinking of this, Liu Qi bowed to Liu Biao and said, "Father is indeed thoughtful and I admire him."
Liu Biao laughed happily.
After laughing, Liu Biao said, "My son, I recommend someone for you for my father."
Then he saw him saying to a strong man in armor behind him who had not spoken for a long time: "Chengxian, this is my son Liu Qi."
Then he pointed to the strong man and said to Liu Qi: "My son, this one is Huang Zu, the chief of the Huang clan of the Jiangxia Anlu, whose courtesy name is Chengxian, and is the descendant of the famous minister Huang Xiang. He is the 'unparalleled in the world, Jiangxia Huang Xiang'. Chengxian met his father in the past, and his family is also the first tribe in Jiangxia. This time, his father was able to successfully conquer Jiangxia, all thanks to Chengxian's achievements."
Liu Qi nodded suddenly.
It was similar to what I guessed. Liu Biao could conquer Jiangxia so quickly, and there must be support from the local prominent family.
"Liu Qi has met Chengxian Duke. Thanks to Chengxian Duke's help, I, Liu, can conquer Jiang Xia. Qi is very grateful."
Huang Zu looked so stinky, looking like a very proud person, but he thought he had a big temper.
But he was still very polite when facing Liu Qi.
"I have met the young master! Haha, along the way, I heard the envoy talk about the young master. Huang's heart was as if he had grown grass, and he wanted to meet the young master! Hehe, the young master was alone, and he beat the eighteen counties of Nanjun, seized Xiangyang City, and destroyed Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng. He is really a hero of the world! How old is the young master this year?"
Liu Qi smiled and said, "Mr. Huang is too proud, Liu Qi is ashamed of being accused of it. Qi will be eighteen after the New Year."
"It's not yet eighteen?" Huang Zu looked at Liu Biao in surprise, but saw Liu Biao nodding.
"What a young hero. Alas, we are all old."
Liu Qi stretched out his hand and said to Liu Biao and Huang Zu: "Father, Chengxian Duke, let's go to the city."
Liu Biao raised his head and looked at the three feet high in Xiangyang City, with a look of expectation on his face.
Huang Zu behind him said, "The envoy can enter the city with his son. He is outside to command the three armies to set up camps. There are still many people from the Jiangxia County clan in the army. I still need to serve as the emperor of the mansion, so I will not enter the city today."
Liu Qi understood Huang Zu’s concerns in his heart.
Huang Zu is a representative figure of the Jiangxia prominent clan. This time, he led 10,000 private troops from various clans in Jiangxia, and it is indeed difficult to enter the city easily.
After all, Xiangyang is not the land of their Jiangxia clan. The so-called strong dragons do not suppress the local snake. There are Cai and Kuai in this city. If Huang Zu rashly enters the city, it will probably cause Cai and Kuai to be alert and suspicious, which is somewhat inappropriate.
He used troops outside the city as Liu Biao's backing, but instead had the power of deterrence, which made Cai Mao and Kuai Liang even more afraid of Liu Biao.
Perhaps, this is why Liu Biao wanted to lead his troops.
Liu Biao was not surprised after hearing Huang Zu's words. He said, "Since that's the case, then Chengxian will set up camp outside the city and wait for our order."
"promise!"
After arranging Huang Zu, Liu Biao entered the city under the leadership of Liu Qi.
As soon as I passed the Wengcheng and entered the inner city, I saw the leaders of the clans such as Cai Mao and Kuai, as well as officials from all over the country in Xiangyang County, coming together.
"I've met Liu Envoy!"
After so long, the governor who saw the dragon's head but didn't see his tail finally showed up. For the people of Xiangyang who had been speculating about him, a stone fell to the ground.
"I am grateful for the troubled ministers protecting Xiangyang! From now on, I will stay in this city with the public, Kuangjun assist the country and protect the Han Dynasty together! Please help all the people."
Seeing that Liu Biao was so polite and easy-going, everyone's uneasy heart gradually disappeared.
Everyone also answered: "Don't worry, I will do my best to assist you in governing Nanjun!"
Liu Biao has little demands on his subordinates.
No matter whether everyone was convinced or not, as long as everyone could respond to him on the surface, not provoking trouble or seeking faults, Liu Biao would be satisfied.
"They don't have to be polite. When they first arrived in Xiangyang, they are not familiar with military and political affairs. If you can take me to patrol the city, it can be regarded as understanding the people's conditions and looking at the style of Xiangyang. How about it?"
Of course, everyone agreed.
But when Liu Biao looked around everyone, he suddenly asked, "Who is Cai Degui? Among all the masters, who is Mr. Kuai Zirou?"
Kuai Liang and Cai Mao stood up at the same time and said together: "I have met the Lord of the Mansion!"
After the two introduced themselves to Liu Biao, they saw Liu Biao grab Cai Mao's hand with one hand and hold Kuai Liang's hand with the other, and smiled and said, "I have long admired the two wise men and women, and they are well-known. It is a blessing to have the honor to meet each other today! They have the two men who have governed each other and governed the seven counties of Jingzhou, which is still the back garden of the mansion!"
Kuai and Cai were naturally very happy that Liu Biao treated each other so enthusiastically.
Cai Mao said happily: "The Lord of the Mansion has just arrived in Xiangyang, and he has been busy all the way. You may as well rest tonight. Mao holds a banquet in the mansion tomorrow night and asks the Lord of the Mansion to go there. He thinks he respects each other, but I wonder if he can enjoy the honor?"
Liu Biao laughed and said, "How can I not come to Degui for a banquet? However, when I first arrived in Jingzhou, I had a banquet before I was in charge of the affairs of the state. There are many inappropriate things. Let's wait for a few days. What should we say about this?"
Cai Mao couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this.
Although Liu Biao did not agree to go to his house for a banquet tomorrow night, he responded to this matter, which means that he will enjoy the glory sooner or later!
A banquet is actually a trivial matter. As long as he agrees to go to Cai’s mansion, he can plan to do a big thing himself...
"Since that's the case, I'll talk about it when I'm free. I hope you don't let Mao down."
Liu Biao smiled and said, "Degui is not disappointed by the surface, how can he bear to Degui?"
...
Liu Qi followed them boredly, and it felt extremely boring to listen to these people's business bragging.
Suddenly, someone pulled his sleeve.
Liu Qi looked over in confusion - it turned out to be Kuai Yue.
"Shaojun, I wonder if I can speak with one step?"
Liu Qi was very happy when he heard Kuai Yue calling him Shaojun again and no longer changed his words to Young Master.
This shows that Kuai Yue has recognized himself from the bottom of his heart.
It seems that the last conversation was not in vain. Kuai Yue finally realized that he and Liu Qi were the same as those of fellow disciples.
"What's wrong with Mr. Yidu?"
Kuai Yue glanced at Liu Biao, Kuai Liang and Cai Mao, who were gradually moving away, and pulled Liu Qi aside and whispered: "Young Master, can you know that Cai Mao asked Liu Mansion to go to his house for a banquet, what's wrong?"
"Just get in love." Liu Qi spoke very directly.
"It's not all... can the young master know that there is a strategy in this world called a beauty plan?"
