Chapter 237
Liu Qi solemnly asked Liu Bei to help him. He wanted to compete with his second brother Liu Cong for the position of heir, and the only one who could help him was Liu Bei.

The relationship between Liu Bei and the eldest son Liu Qi was quite good before, but now, when the eldest son Liu Qi asks for advice like this, it is impossible for Liu Bei to completely ignore it.

Liu Bei turned to the eldest son Liu Qi and said, "Young master, you are the same as me now, those who stay will die, and those who leave will live!"

"In Xiangyang City, the Cai family has too much power. Even if you stand beside Brother Jing Sheng all day long, you will be useless."

"In my opinion, you need to find an opportunity and ask Brother Jing Sheng to send you out. You can lead a county or a county. Only when you have a place that truly belongs to you can you escape from the control of Patriarch Cai .”

"In this way, not to mention helping the young master to become Brother Jing Sheng's heir, at least, we are each other's horns, so self-protection is no problem."

"Young Master, if you stay in Xiangyang, the day Brother Jing Sheng dies will be the day you die, Master!"

After listening to Liu Bei's words, Liu Qi broke out in a cold sweat.

Because what Liu Bei said was too reasonable.

Liu Biao can still intimidate the Cai family while he is alive. If Liu Biao dies, I am afraid that the old man Cai Mao and the vicious Mrs. Cai will be the first to kill him.

After thinking about this, Liu Qi cupped his hands towards Liu Bei and said, "Thank you uncle for reminding me, I will find a way to ask my father to transfer me away from Xiangyang in the near future."

"After I leave this cage, I will go to Xinye to visit my uncle myself."

Liu Bei nodded, and said in response: "My lord, get out of this prison first, let's talk about it after you get out!"

Talking about both sides, at the same time, Jiangdong was also having a meeting.

The land of the six counties in Jiangdong is further south than Liu Biao's nine counties in Jingxiang.

Moreover, due to the terrain, if Sun Quan wanted to attack Xuchang, he had to borrow a way from Jingzhou.

Could Liu Biao let him borrow?
Of course not!
The two of them had a feud, so they borrowed an excuse from Jiang Dong, what if Sun Quan stopped by and wiped him out?
Sun Quan naturally knew this, so he had no intention of attacking Xuchang.

What Sun Quan wanted to fight was Su Ming's Jiangxia County.

Jiangdong is a place with the natural danger of the Yellow River, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Jiangdong can be said to be a good place to use as a base camp.

However, Jiangdong also has a flaw, that is, it is not easy to send troops.

It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is indeed difficult for others to attack you.

But, similarly, when you want to further plot the world, it is also extremely difficult.

Therefore, if those in power in Jiangdong want to seize the world, they must have a springboard to advance.

However, there are only two places that are suitable as a springboard for Jiangdong.

One is Jingzhou and the other is Xuzhou.

At that time, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, used Xuzhou as a springboard.

Now, Xuzhou is in the hands of Cao Cao, guarded by Zang Ba, the prefect of Xuzhou.

Attacking Xuzhou requires land warfare, which is not what Jiangdong is good at.

Therefore, like the overlord of Western Chu back then, using Xuzhou as a springboard, Jiangdong is still unable to do so.

Using Xuzhou as a springboard is not enough, so for Jiangdong, there is only one way, and that is to use Jingzhou as a springboard.

Jiangxia.

That's right, Sun Quan wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to attack Jiangxia while Cao Cao was fighting against the aliens in Liucheng.

He is now fighting Jiangxia, and Cao Cao is simply unable to rush to rescue Jiangxia.

As long as Jiangxia can be defeated, after Jiangdong occupies Jiangxia, he can further plot the entire Jingzhou.

Of course, the most important reason why Sun Quan wants to attack Jiang Xia is that Jiang Xia is now Su Ming's territory.

Sun Quan and Su Ming have an undying hatred. Su Ming always wants to kill Sun Quan, and Sun Quan also always wants to kill Su Ming.

Sun Quan thought to himself, sooner or later I will capture Jiang Xia and make you Su Ming a bereaved dog.

Sun Quan summoned the civil servants and generals under his command, and wanted to use this opportunity to discuss all matters concerning the capture of Jiangxia.

On the battlefield, there are three factions.

A group of young generals headed by Ling Tong, Zhou Tai, etc., these young generals received hints from Sun Quan in advance, and they strongly suggested attacking Jiang Xia.

The other faction is headed by Huang Gai, Zu Mao and other veterans, they do not recommend sending troops at this time.

It is worth mentioning that Zhang Zhao, Sun Quan's most trusted adviser, did not agree with Sun Quan this time.

Zhang Zhao believes that at this time, it is not possible to send troops against Jiang Xia.

Zhang Zhao's idea is also very simple. Although Jiangxia is actually Su Ming's territory, Su Ming is also Cao Cao's man.

Moving Jiang Xia is undoubtedly teasing Cao Cao.

Now Cao Cao's power is too great, he has already occupied half of the world.

From Zhang Zhao's point of view, although the three tribes in the grassland are coming aggressively, they can't hurt Cao Cao.

Once they attack Jiang Xia at this time, even if they take Jiang Xia down, then once Cao Cao solves the three tribes in the grassland, he will definitely turn around and take revenge on them.

If Cao Cao wants to send troops to attack Jiangdong, Liu Biao will definitely be the first to respond. At that time, Jiangdong will be in danger.

From Zhang Zhao's point of view, their Jiangdong position is excellent, as long as they stick to it and develop their own power.

Then, even if Cao Cao can really unify the world, they will be the last ones to be wiped out.

Now, just wait for the situation in the world to change. If the princes of the world mobilize to besiege Cao Cao, they will stand up and take advantage of it.

All in all, Jiangdong must not be the first to provoke Cao Mengde.

As for the third faction?
The third faction is Zhou Yu, the governor of Jiangdong. After Zhou Yu learned that Sun Quan wanted to attack Jiangxia, he directly led the army under the pretext of conquering Shanyue and left Wu County first.

Zhou Yu's meaning is also very obvious. He will not express his position on this matter. Similarly, he will not lead troops to conquer Su Ming's territory.

Sun Quan can fight if he wants to, but Zhou Yu will not lead soldiers to fight each other.

Wu County, Wuhou Mansion.

backyard.

The backyard of Marquis Wu's mansion is full of family members of Lao Sun's family.

As Sun Ce's widow, Da Qiao naturally lived here too.

Da Qiao was doing embroidery when he suddenly heard footsteps outside.

Da Qiao took a closer look and found that it was her younger sister Xiao Qiao who came to look for her.

"elder sister!"

"Have you heard that Sun Zhongmou is going to attack Jiang Xia!" Xiao Qiao whispered.

A few days ago, Zhou Yu suddenly rushed to lead his troops to conquer Shanyue.

As a husband and wife, Xiao Qiao naturally noticed Zhou Yu's abnormal situation.

Xiao Qiao asked Zhou Yu several times, but Zhou Yu didn't tell her, but told her not to ask.

After Zhou Yu left, Xiao Qiao murmured in her heart.

So she asked someone to inquire about it.

Needless to say, Xiao Qiao really got the news.

After Xiao Qiao heard the news, she came to tell her sister Da Qiao immediately.
