Liu Qi didn't quite understand the meaning of Liu Biao's words at first. It took a little longer before he figured it out.

Since ancient times, no matter how stable a regime is, there will inevitably be some disloyal people among its forces. This has nothing to do with the strength of the regime, because no matter what kind of regime it is, there will always be vested interests below it.

Groups and loss groups.

Although Jingzhou has become rich and increasingly powerful, it has only happened in the past few years. It is unrealistic to say how far the Jingzhou power group has surpassed the regimes in the north. After all, four years is not enough to completely change hundreds of states.

The huge economic and technological differences between the north and the south of the Han Dynasty in recent years.

Although Jingzhou is powerful among many political powers in the south, it also has several unstable factors.

Among these unstable factors, the biggest one is that Jingzhou has more influence and more people migrate from the north...

Since the Liu family of Shanyang went south, they have used war as an excuse to deprive the powerful local clans of more of their interests.

In particular, much of the vast land in Jingnan was confiscated by Liu Qi in the name of the Shaofu, seriously damaging the interests of the local powerful.

And now, if Liu Biao is really critically ill, there is a high chance that someone will appear in Jingzhou who is ready to take action.

Liu Qi frowned and pondered for a long time, then said: "It shouldn't be possible, right? The power of Jingzhou is now in the hands of my father and son. Cao Cao, Niu Fu, Yuan Shu, Liu Yan and others have just been repelled. Our army's morale is high. Is it possible that at this juncture, it is still possible?

Will someone rebel?"

Liu Biao sighed and said, "Don't you understand? It's impossible to oppose you... But the problem is that there will definitely be people with evil intentions and secretly colluding with outsiders to show their alliance. You should send people to keep a close eye on them."

"To hook up with an outsider? Who to hook up with?"

Liu Biao coughed twice and said, "It's hard to say. Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Liu Zhang, Sun Jian, Tao Qian, Yuan Shu... even Gongsun Zan or Wang Yun of Luoyang may be the targets of the conspiracy.

"

"Isn't this a joke?" Liu Qi shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "These people all have something to do right now. Who would come to invade Jingzhou again with nothing to do?"

"It doesn't have to be an invasion of Jingzhou, but there is no guarantee that there won't be people in Jingzhou who will always keep in touch with these people. They are usually courteous to us on the surface, but secretly who can guarantee that they have evil intentions? Many people must

I will take this opportunity to start secretly communicating with the princes in the north to leave a way out for myself... This has nothing to do with loyalty or not. You must know that we in Jingzhou currently have many people from the north, just to avoid the war. You

Are you sure they have no intention of returning to their homeland? As long as there is hope of returning to the north, they still want to go back."

"In addition, Cai Mao has just died, and many local powerful people in Nanjun who are attached to him don't know where to go. Over in Jingnan, do you think that the powerful people you used to punish were convinced by them? And you also took advantage of the opportunity of war.

, remove Huang Zu from the position of county guard, the Huang family is so powerful in Jiangxia, do you think it is enough to just rely on Wei Yan to suppress it? "

Liu Qi narrowed his eyes and began to think carefully.

Liu Biao continued: "I don't expect to be able to deal with anyone now, but at least through this incident, they will surface, so you can be prepared... After you arrive in Jingzhou, you will spend a lot of effort on scouts and exploration.

Now there are even those three thousand young men and women you brought back from Chang'an...I heard that you have been secretly training them, right? My father knows what you want to do? Isn't now the time to put them to use?"

Liu Qi stood up, bowed to Biao Liu and said, "Thank you very much, father. The child understands what to do."

Liu Biao took a deep breath and said, "My father has given you the opportunity. Whether you can seize it or not depends on your own ability."

Liu Qi bowed his head and said: "Don't worry, father, the child will definitely seize this opportunity... By the way, there is one more thing that needs to be reported to father."

"What's the matter?"

"About Man Chong."

The muscles on Liu Biao's face twitched, and it was obvious that he didn't like this person's name very much.

After all, what Man Chong did in Shanyang County back then was completely different from what he did, and the two of them were completely different from each other.

Just as Liu Qi was about to open his mouth, Liu Biao suddenly raised his hand to stop him and said, "There is no need to tell my father."

"Huh?" Liu Qi was stunned when he heard this.

Liu Biao said slowly and authentically: "My father just said that from now on, you will make the decision in Jingzhou. I will go to Jingnan to study and study, and will no longer interfere with military affairs. Who should be used and whom should not be used? From now on, you don't need to ask me for help."

Father reports that it is your responsibility to govern the ten counties."

Liu Qi couldn't help being speechless after hearing this... Unexpectedly, Liu Biao actually did what he said.

"If you want to use Man Chong, you can do it. It's all your own business anyway. From now on, these things have nothing to do with being a father."

Liu Biao's expression was very solemn, without any suspicion of forgery.

Liu Qi took a deep breath, cupped his hands in front of Liu Biao and said, "My child, I obey."

Liu Biao stood up forcefully and said: "The meal is over and the conversation has been said. It's time to get down to business. You can freshen up for me and help me get dressed."

Liu Qi was shocked when he heard this and said: "Although my father's illness is not life-threatening, it is still quite serious. Where are you going at this critical moment?"

Liu Biao shook his head gently and said: "Cai Degui passed away. Although my father is ill, he always goes to see him and send him off."

Liu Qi frowned and said, "Is it too hard? I still put my body first."

Liu Biao sighed and said, "At this juncture, your health is not the most important thing... Don't talk too much and help me change my clothes."

Seeing Liu Biao's resolute attitude, Liu Qi could only agree.

Then, he went out and called Liu Xiu into the room. Together, they changed Liu Biao's clothes and washed him.

Then, Liu Qi and Liu Xiu helped Liu Biao out of the door, one on the left and the other on the right.

Liu Biao's pace was very slow, as if it was a turtle's pace. I don't know whether it was real or pretending. He would occasionally sink a little, so Liu Qi and Liu Xiu had to concentrate on supporting him.

When he arrived at the entrance of the mansion, Liu Qi ordered a few strong and thoughtful attendants to help Liu Biao on his and Liu Xiu's behalf.

Just as he was tying up the car, he saw Zhang Yun hurried to the door of the Zhou Mu Mansion.

When he saw Liu Biao, Zhang Yun was dumbfounded on the spot.

"Uncle, uncle, uncle..."

Liu Biao glanced at him sideways and said weakly: "Uncle, just uncle, why are you stumbling?"

"Uncle!" Zhang Yun finally called out: "Have you... recovered from your illness?"

Liu Biao was being supported by two people at the moment. If no one was there to support him, he would immediately collapse to the ground.

Liu Biao narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, "What do you think?"

It must be bad... Zhang Yun muttered in his heart.

"Uncle, what are you doing?"

"Go to the Cai Mansion to pay homage to De Gui." Liu Biao said angrily: "Have you gone?"

"Of course I went." Zhang Yun replied hurriedly.

Liu Biao no longer looked at him, but ordered his attendants to help him into the carriage.

Zhang Yun looked at Liu Biao's trembling back, walked quickly to Liu Qi, and said: "My uncle is weak and in very bad condition. How can we let him come out to see the wind at this time?"

Liu Qi sighed: "He insisted on coming out, and there was nothing I could do about it... After all, Cai Degui died recently, and Yan Jun will go to pay homage in person no matter what."

Speaking of this, Liu Qi looked at Zhang Yun and asked doubtfully: "What are you doing here, brother?"

"Bo Yu, I'm here to report to you the situation of the battle in Jingnan."

"Sun Jian?"
