Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 96

Liu Bei held on to Lan Tian's hand and came to the front hall. At this time, Zhuge Liang had already made it clear to Liu Qi.

"Uncle, that Lingling Liu Du violated the country for no reason. This trend cannot last long. I should write a letter to my father to explain everything." Liu Qi said angrily.

Liu Bei asked in bewilderment, "What's the matter with Governor Liu?"

Zhuge Liang frowned and said: "It seems that Ziyu has not had time to tell you that Lingling Liudu sent soldiers to invade Guiyang County because of some conflicts on the border, and Gan County magistrate stood up to resist. This year's harvest may be affected. the people under his rule"

Liu Bei turned his head to look at Lan Tian, ​​and saw that his expression was calm and calm, and immediately understood that Zhuge Liang was talking to Liu Qi.

"Ziyu, what's the situation in Guiyang County?" Liu Bei pretended to be anxious and asked.

"Guiyang has been defended for the time being, but the people have suffered heavy losses." Lan Tian also co-starred. He admired Kong Ming's eloquence skills very much, and it didn't take long for Liu Qi to be filled with righteous indignation.

Liu Bei was very aware of Gan Ning's skills. He almost couldn't help laughing when he saw Lan Tian and Zhuge Liang singing and acting.

"It turned out to be like this, the eldest son should repair the book for brother Jing Sheng as soon as possible." Liu Bei said with a sad face.

Liu Qi nodded and said, "I'm going to write a letter right now, please uncle to transfer General Guan back, my [-] troops are enough for Liu Du."

"My lord is not in a hurry, I'd better ask the lord for instructions first." Zhuge Liang said in his heart, don't listen to the wind and the rain.

"Alright, I'd better ask my father first." Liu Qi nodded.

At this time, Liu Bei introduced Lantian to him again. Liu Qi heard people often mention it in Chen County, and many of the dishes he had never tried were the new creations of the one in front of him.

Liu Qi was regarded as a guest of honor in Chen County, and lived more comfortably than the military camp in Xiangjiang, so since he came here, he never mentioned going back, let alone going to You County to help Liu Pan.

As for Lingling, Xing Daorong led troops to fight against Guiyang, but there was no news.

Five days later, Liu Du couldn't sit still any longer, so he called his son Liu Xian to discuss: "General Xing has been on an expedition to Guiyang for five days, and now he hasn't even heard a single word. I asked Xu Xiang to send someone to investigate. , is also gone and never returned, could something have happened?"

Liu Xian: "General Xing is very brave. This time, Guiyang made a mistake first. Why don't you lead the army to meet him?"

After hearing this, Liu Du shook his head and said: "There are only 5000 troops left for my father. If you make any mistakes, Lingling will be in danger. It is better to send more people to Guiyang to inquire. I will write a book to explain the situation to the Fujun."

"If you have the support of Lord Liu, you can transfer troops from Changsha and Wuling. Let's see what Liu Bei and Zhao Fan say. At least we should hand over Gan Ning's head to admit our mistakes." Liu Xian nodded.

Liu Du wrote the letter and sent his cronies to Xiangyang to file a complaint.

The letter of the prefect of the county must first be read by Chang Shi Kuai, and then submitted to Liu Biao for review.

After Liu Biao read the letters of Liu Du and Zhao Fan, Kuai Yue took advantage of the situation and asked, "Lingling and Guiyang each insist on their own words, why should the Lord agree with them?"

"What do you think should be done?" Liu Biao asked back.

"After the plague in Lingling and Guiyang, they couldn't even pay their taxes. Now Guiyang has asked Gan Ning to plunder the population. This guy seems to have joined Huang Taishou, and he seems to be a bandit. I think Lingling's words are more credible. " Kuai Yue analyzed.

"Brother-in-law, Liu Bei is still in Guiyang, could he be playing tricks?" Cai Mao asked doubtfully.

Liu Biao glanced at the two of them, then took out a cloth bag from his pocket and threw it on the table, "Qi'er is in Chen County right now, and he also sent me a letter, you all should read it."

After Kuai Yue read it, he handed it to Cai Mao, "My lord, shouldn't this... Eldest Young Master go to You County, why did he go to Guiyang?"

Liu Qi's big book Liu Du in the letter is not, as if he saw it with his own eyes, he was more violent than Zhao Fan's words, and said that he would lead troops to Lingling to question the crime.

"Pan'er also received a letter a few days ago, saying that Yan Qi'er was not acclimatized in Changsha, and now Zhang Zhongjing is in Chen County, so he went over to recuperate." Liu Biao said in a low voice.

Kuai Yue couldn't say anything now, but Cai Mao still didn't give up, "Brother-in-law, should I send someone to investigate? After all, Lingling and Guiyang have only been settled down not long ago."

"What else is there to investigate? My own son can't believe it? This Liu Du is such a waste. His poor governance caused the people to relocate, but he took the initiative to provoke troubles. Now the wicked came to complain first, hum." Liu Biao said angrily.

Cai Mao and Kuai Yue saw that Liu Biao was angry, and after a while Liu Biao said again: "Yidu, you write a letter to the emperor for me, and Biao Qi'er is the prefect of Lingling."

"Ah, here." Kuai Yue didn't know what to say for a while.

Cai Hao was afraid that Liu Qi would be the prime minister in Lingling, so he quickly advised him, "Brother-in-law, Jingnan has only been calmed down for a few years, and people's hearts are unstable. Replacing Liu Du rashly may cause turmoil in Lingling. It is better to send someone to hold him accountable."

"I've made up my mind, De Gui doesn't need to say anything more." Liu Biao said firmly.

"What if Liu Du took advantage of the situation and rebelled against him? I heard that he has the mighty Xing Daorong under his command." Cai Mao continued to fight.

"Didn't Qi'er bring troops from Xiangyang? Besides, Guiyang and Xuande will help him, so I'm tired." Liu Biao got up and walked to the dormitory.

Cai Mao said in his heart that it was because of Liu Bei that he was worried. If Kuai Yue hadn't kept winking, he would have continued to persuade him.

"Why didn't Yidu say anything just now?" Cai Mao asked after Liu Biao left.

"My lord is partial to the eldest son. No matter how much I try to persuade him, it will be in vain. Degui still has to think about the bright side." Kuai Yue said.

"There are still good things?" Cai Mao frowned.

Kuai Yue smiled slightly, "Lingling is a small border county, and its population is not as large as that of Xiangyang. The eldest son has been indulging in wine and sex for a long time, and he is already dying. If he lives in the border area for a long time, how can it last?"

Cai Mao's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he thought, why didn't I think of it?

In the process of passing letters around, Lan Tian asked Gan Ning to strengthen border defenses and was always ready to march west to Lingling.

In August of the 11th year of Jian'an, the summer harvest and autumn planting in Guiyang County had ended. Liu Bei accompanied Liu Qi and led the army here, and Gan Ning prepared fruits and other things to go out of the city to work for the army.

Liu Qi walked all the way and saw that the people in the county were happy and the crops in the fields were green, so he praised Liu Bei: "The county magistrate of Guiyang is a capable man. Not only did he prevent Liu Du from being harassed, but the production of the people resumed so quickly."

Liu Bei smiled and introduced Gan Ning for him. Zhang Fei joked after seeing Gan Ning, "I heard that you beheaded Xing Daorong? You have some skills."

This time when he dispatched troops to Lingling, Liu Bei took Qujiang to inspect the counties in the south of Guiyang, and recruited Zhang Fei to lead his troops to accompany him.

Gan Ning said modestly, "It's just a fluke."

"I heard that Xing Daorong is a fierce general of Lingling, but I didn't expect him to be defeated by General Gan. Can you be a pioneer in Lingling this time?" Liu Qi asked.

Gan Ning's defeat of Xing Daorong in Guiyang was briefly modified by Zhuge Liang, and Liu Qi mistakenly thought that Guiyang was just being beaten passively. Now that he heard Zhang Fei's words, he knew that Gan Ning was unusual.

Seeing Liu Bei nod his head slightly, Gan Ning immediately clasped his fists in response.

"Brother, it's not me." Zhang Fei wanted to speak, but was stopped by Liu Bei's eyes.
