Liu Biao really took a thousand guards to Jiangling, which made everyone in the city, which was originally like an ants on a hot pan, feel relieved. They finally saw the opportunity.--(

The palace built for King Xiangyang has been completed in the city, and it is only a short time to hold a formal ceremony to welcome Liu Xie back to Xiangyang from Xinye. In the past, Liu Biao did not spit out when he was there, so it was difficult for everyone to jump out and take the initiative to undertake this matter. It is obvious that Lord Mu of the State does not like this King Xiangyang very much, but you jump out and cause trouble. What is your intention?

Now that Liu Biao has been inspecting various counties, some people have their ideas on the head of the eldest son Liu Qi. No matter whether Liu Biao can return to Xiangyang smoothly in the future and encourage Liu Qi to welcome the King of Xiangyang into Xiangyang City, even if Liu Biao knows about this, he will not be able to do anything to everyone. The matter was done by your son, so it is hard to rely on others, right?

One night, several important guests came to Cai Mao’s mansion. They all entered the mansion in carriages, and outsiders could not see each other.

After the guests arrived in Qi, they saw that the visitors were Kuai Yue, Huang Zu, Zhang Yun, Liu Ba, Liao Li, Cai Zhong and Han Song.

Cai Mao looked at everyone majesticly and said, "Everyone, what we are planning today is very risky. If anyone doesn't want to stay in the matter, it's still time to withdraw now!"

No one spoke, so the plot began. In fact, Cai Mao said so politely that if he really stood up and said he wanted to withdraw, he would be chopped off by the knife and axe handler that Cai Mao had already arranged in the back hall before he could leave the Cai mansion.

Cai Mao said: "Now that the danger of Jingzhou is getting worse and worse. Liuzhou's master did not want Jingzhou to fall into the hands of others, so he commanded the army to confront all parties. It is understandable. However, Liu Xie, the King of Xiangyang, was personally granted by the emperor, but now he is occupied in Xinye, which has caused a lot of discussion and a lot of emotions.-) If the King of Xiangyang can take over Jingzhou, the Sima family of Yizhou and Sun Jian of the Eastern Wu would have to worry about the face and feelings of the court. Then the danger of Jingzhou will naturally be eliminated, but it is better to meet with others."

Cai Mao's words were a bit ambiguous, but the center was clear, that was, he agreed to welcome the King of Xiangyang into the city and forced Yizhou and Wuzhou to retreat through the pressure of the court.

Kuai Yue and Cai Mao have always been advancing and retreating together. He echoed: "When Lord Zhou Mu was here, we were concerned about his face and could not give him a direct advice in person. Now that he is traveling south, leaving only the eldest son to preside over the overall situation in Xiangyang, we can think of a way to make this happen as soon as possible."

Liu Ba then said, "This matter should not be delayed for a long time. I will go to persuade the eldest son tomorrow. You must see the current situation clearly and not bring the Liu clan into danger!"

Han Song also nodded and agreed, willing to go and persuade Liu Qi.

Liao Li asked: "Although Liu Zhoumu left Xiangyang, he still left many capable people to station in Xiangyang. What should he do if the eldest son took this as a basis and did not listen to our persuasion?"

Cai Mao's younger brother Cai Zhong said angrily: "If he does not follow, he will launch military advice, control him, and let the second prince Cong take charge of Xiangyang!"

Huang Zu, who held the 20,000 military power in Deng County, and Zhang Yun, who had been secretly supporting the second son Liu Cong, did not express his support or objection until now. Everyone knew that Cai Mao had reached some kind of alliance with Huang Zu, Zhang Yun and others. If the persuasion failed, they would use force to promote the matter.

However, everyone in the audience underestimated Liu Qi and the group of people behind Liu Qi.

It is true that Liu Qi is honest by nature, but it does not mean that he has no brains to be at mercy and teased. Cai Mao is the uncle of the second son Liu Cong, but not his Liu Qi's uncle. In the past, Liu Biao's successor Cai did not have a good face when he saw Liu Qi. Cai Mao and Cai Zhong even sarcastically faced Liu Qi in front of Liu Biao. Even an honest child like Liu Qi, he was still a little angry.

When his father sent him a letter to return to Xiangyang to take charge, Liu Qi hesitated for a long time and really didn't want to wade into this muddy water. But someone secretly sent another letter to Liu Qi, which just solved Liu Qi's hesitation and made him feel confident.

The person who secretly wrote to Liu Qi was Qi Wukai, Yi Ji, Deng Xi, Qin Mi and others who were recently appreciated by Liu Biao. These scholars all said that they had received the instructions of their lord Liu Biao and secretly assisted the eldest son in Xiangyang City to preside over the overall situation. Once the situation changes, they will stand up.

If the statements of these people are not worthy enough, then Xiang Chong, who is stationed in Shandu and Wang Wei, who is stationed in Cai Yang, expressed his loyalty to Liu Qi, which is worthy enough. These two deputy generals commanded 10,000 troops respectively. Once Xiangyang sometimes, they can return to help as soon as possible, which is exactly the same as the 20,000 people under Huang Zu.

What moved Liu Qi the most was a "foreign aid" who was not noticeable but had a great background.

This person is Jiang Jie.

Liu Qi knew that Jiang Jie was the special envoy sent by King Pingxi Zhao Xing to support Jingzhou (Lu Meng has been hiding in the dark, even Liu Qi didn't know). If even Jiang Jie made a clear statement and supported Liu Qi to return to Xiangyang to take charge of the overall situation, it would be equivalent to the attitude of King Pingxi. Liu Qi didn't dare to think about anything else, but he believed that even if there was a huge change in Xiangyang in the future, if he was captured and became a prisoner, as long as Jiang Jie was still by his side to protect him, then no matter who he was, he would have to weigh the importance and dare not execute him at will.

The King of Pingxi is famous for protecting his shortcomings. Over the years, Zhao Xing has left a way out for people who do things according to the rules in the end. But if anyone has obviously caught Zhao Xing's subordinates and still punished him to death, the consequences will be very serious. You can ask me, the lion is asking for a considerable ransom or put forward other conditions, but I must not kill my people. This is the rule set by Zhao Xing!

Liu Qi, who returned to Xiangyang, first contacted Jiang Jie, followed Jiang Jie's advice, and directly held the 20,000 troops left by his father Liu Biao in his hands. He appointed Jiang Jie as the leader of a thousand iron guards in his battle, and was responsible for his own safety without hesitation.

Although Jiang Jie was not as powerful as Lu Meng, he was not a good person to meet. He came to Jingzhou not to make a decoration, but to achieve something. Although Jiang Jie only had a thousand iron guards to be able to use, he was a very powerful elite soldier. With these thousand people, it was enough to directly launch a quick and fatal blow to Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and other mansions during the chaos in Xiangyang!

The second day after the conspiracy in Cai Mao's mansion ended, Liu Ba, who was a gun envoy, did not care about his personal safety and became a leader. He came to meet Liu Qi and tried his best to persuade Liu Qi to leave Liu Biao alone and to welcome Liu Xie into Xiangyang while Liu Biao was not in Xiangyang, so as to avoid Jingzhou being in danger of being attacked from three sides.

Liu Qi was not very disgusted with Liu Ba, so he was still polite. He just rudely said that this matter was too serious, so how could he act without regard to his father's decision? That is, he politely rejected Liu Ba's suggestions.

Then Han Song, Kuai Yue and others came to persuade Liu Qi one after another, and their tone of speech became more serious again and again. It seemed that if Liu Qi refused to agree, he would be afraid that he would cause trouble immediately.

The situation in Xiangyang is about to happen.
