Guo Jia's words made Xun Yu a little dissatisfied.

He frowned, turned to Guo Jiaqi and said: "Following filial piety and great loyalty, you must not stand on the wrong side. If Yuan Shao rebels and Ming Gong goes along with it, his reputation will be ruined. How can we restore it in the future?"

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Wen Ruo was overly concerned. Yuan Shao is not a fool. If he wants to rebel against the imperial court, he will definitely come up with a justifiable reason and rebel in vain. This is definitely not what the best among the Four Generations and Three Gongmen would do, and it is even more so.

What's more, even if Yuan Shao wants to rebel against the imperial court and ask us to support him, we don't need to make a fuss about the imperial court. Ming Gong only needs to turn the target of the attack, and there is no need to be despised by the world's scholars."

"Who are you turning to?" Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and asked.

Guo Jiagong said: "If Yuan Shao wants to win the emperor, he must first pass Liu Qi. According to Guo, Yuan Shao's biggest enemy is not the court, but the Liu family of Shanyang. If Yuan Shao really succeeds in the future

When he fell out with the court, we should not respond to any of his accusations against Luoyang. If he had any actions against Jing and Yi, we would all respond. In this way, before the great loyalty and righteousness, Ming Gong owes nothing.

As far as Yuan Shao is concerned, Ming Gong is not at fault either."

When Xun Yu heard this, he stopped talking.

Although he was not very willing to listen to Guo Jia's words, Xun Yu could still reluctantly accept this compromise policy.

To be honest, Guo Jia's approach will be just a side game in later generations. Everything he does is vague and vague, so that you can't grasp the substantive handle. But in fact, he does no less immoral things.

Cao Cao stroked his beard and nodded slowly: "Currently, Cao can't afford to offend Benchu. If Benchu ​​makes any move, Cao still needs to respond. What's more, he and I are brothers... Filial piety is a very serious statement.

good."

Guo Jia cupped his hands and said: "Yuan and Liu are merging. If we can manage the situation well, it will be a good opportunity for Ming Gong to rise and expand his power... Maybe even Ming Gong can fight Yuan Shao in the court.

When they are weak, they can still take charge of the capital, protect the emperor, take charge of the government, and support the emperor to attack the ministers!"

Cao Cao didn't speak, he was thinking about the feasibility of this matter.

After a while, he looked at Xi Zhong: "Zhi Cai, do you think the words of filial piety are feasible?"

Xi Zhicai said: "At the moment, we need to capture Xuzhou first and occupy the entire Central Plains. After we have the strength, we can then discuss other matters."

Cao Cao was very satisfied with Xi Zhicai's sophistication: "Good."

…

Liu Qi originally entered Guanzhong from Hanzhong County, but now he did not return to Shu, but parted ways with Wenpin.

Wenpin returned to Hanzhong to guard, while Liu Qi led his troops to Nanyang County to Jingzhou.

The major events in Shu have basically been settled. Once the gateway to Hanzhong is closed, Yizhou will be Liu Qi's rear area.

In Yizhou, rice is grown, iron ore is mined to build iron, and industries such as Sichuan brocade and white porcelain are vigorously developed to accumulate wealth and support the front line...

As for the frontier position to compete with the northern heroes for world power, it is still in Jingzhou.

After entering Nanyang County, Liu Qi received a letter sent to him by Cai Mi, saying that Cai Yan was pregnant and giving birth. The sisters could not return to Jingzhou at the moment and had to stay with Cai Yan in Shu.

Liu Qi was filled with emotions. Although he wanted to go to Sichuan to stay by Cai Yan's side and spend this important moment with her, the current situation was in front of him and he really couldn't go. He felt really regretful.

He purchased a lot of items needed for the newborn baby in Nanyang County, and personally wrote a letter to Cai Mi, Cai Yan and others in Gaozhi to express his condolences for missing them.

Later, Liu Qi stationed his army in Wancheng and sent a message to Yuan Shu in Jiujiang to show friendship.

Regarding the alliance with Yuan Shu, it cannot be done by just talking.

After all, Liu Qi had fought against Yuan Shu several times before, and he suddenly pushed Yuan Shu from the first-class warlord echelon to the second-class. The two sides had deep grudges and needed to be dealt with carefully.

After Li Dian and others learned that Liu Qi had entered Nanyang County, they immediately went to see him.

Liu Qi summoned all the main generals in Nanyang to Wancheng to discuss with them how to form an alliance with Yuan Shu.

Everyone is in a dilemma about this matter.

After all, the relationship between Jingzhou and Yuan Shu has always been very tense, and there is not even a suitable contact person.

"Money, goods, food, grass, Shu brocade, these things are all available to our army at the moment. In addition, the prince has won the position of general of chariots and cavalry for Yuan Shu in front of your majesty. With fame and wealth as a guarantee, this matter has become a five-point matter. But in addition,

Five points is still more important, that is, how to maintain Yuan Shu's face... In addition, we also need an envoy who can speak well in front of Yuan Shu." Xu Shu stated his opinion to Liu Qi.

"Messenger..." Liu Qi roughly counted his men from east to west, but he really couldn't find anyone who was the most suitable.

At this time, Jia Xu suddenly said: "The emperor once took the pottery merchant back to Xuzhou for the funeral, and asked him to invite the Langya Zhuge family to return to the south. I heard that Yuan Shu recommended Zhuge Xuan as the governor of Yuzhang County, and the two

The friendship between our families seems to be quite deep.”

Jia Xu's words immediately reminded Liu Qi!

He slapped his forehead fiercely and suddenly realized: "That's right, that's right! That makes sense... Where are Zhuge Xuan, Tao Shang and the others now? I remember that I got news after I went to Guanzhong that they had gone from Xuzhou to

Jingzhou has returned."

Zhang Yun stood up and said: "Although the pottery merchants have persuaded Zhuge to come south, Xuzhou was experiencing Gongsun Zan's rebellion at that time, and the journey was long, so it was delayed a lot of time, but thinking about it, they were almost there

Entering Jiangxia territory."

Liu Qi immediately said: "I ordered Wei Yan to immediately lead his troops from Xiling to greet him. We must allow the pottery merchants and the Zhuge family to return to Jingzhou safely. After entering Jingzhou, let them go to Xiangyang immediately. Liu will meet him in person in Xiangyang.

Mr. Zhuge’s family.”

A few days after the military order was passed, the Zhuge family arrived in Nanjun under the protection of Wei Yan.

But there is only one person, and this person is the young Zhuge Liang.

However, Tao Shang, Zhuge Xuan and others did not arrive.

After Liu Qi returned to Xiangyang, he happened to catch up with Zhuge Liang and came to Xiangyang.

At that moment, Liu Qi summoned Prime Minister Ji Han, who was famous throughout the ages and admired and admired by everyone in later generations.

Right now, this ever-famous prime minister standing in front of Liu Qi is only fourteen years old.

Although Zhuge Liang was only fourteen years old, he had a tall and slender figure, a face like a crown of jade, a handsome and elegant appearance, and a graceful and refined demeanor.

Compared to Pang Tong, who was extremely ugly since he was a child, Zhuge Liang has been extremely handsome since he was young.

"Zhuge Liang pays homage to the prince."

His voice is crisp and soft, but it does not lack masculinity.

"Zhuge Liang, are you Zhuge Xuan's son?"

"My uncle is Zhuge Xuan."

Liu Qi looked Zhuge Liang up and down for a while and asked: "I have received the potter's surgery. Please tell me that your Langya Zhuge family returned to Jingzhou from Xuzhou with him. It has been several months now. Logically, it should be here, right? Why are there only

Are you coming alone?"

Zhuge Liang said respectfully: "Liang came to see the prince precisely because of this matter. Tao Jun, his uncle and others are currently blocked at Jianyang Ferry and cannot cross the border. The move has been delayed and they cannot come to Jingzhou to meet the prince. My nephew is now

When he was young, no one noticed him, so he changed his clothes and took a detour to Jingzhou to report to the king."

"Jianyang Ferry?" Liu Qi frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Is that Yuan Shu's territory?"

"Exactly."

"It was Yuan Shu who didn't let you pass."

"Yuan Shu stationed troops at the border of Jiujiang to prevent all people from neighboring states from leaving the country. If my uncle and Tao Jun entered Jiujiang from Jianyang Ferry, it would be difficult for them to come to Jingzhou."

Liu Qi secretly laughed when he heard this... Yuan Shu is still so petty.

He must have known the news in advance. When he learned that Zhuge Xuanju's clan was a pottery merchant coming to Jingzhou, he deliberately sang this song for no other reason than to disgust himself.

By kidnapping Zhuge Xuan into Jiujiang County, Yuan Shu was afraid that his reputation would be damaged among the scholars, but if he allowed them to enter Jingzhou safely for nothing, Yuan Shu felt aggrieved, so he did such a thing and asked himself

Both Zhuge Xuan and Zhuge Xuan were embarrassed.
