Chapter 766 Chapter 776
Seeing that Cai Mao also agreed to Zhang Yun's proposal, everyone nodded and agreed if they had any objections.

Cai Mao immediately summoned all the civil and military personnel in Jingzhou to hold a ceremony, and Liu Zong temporarily succeeded Liu Biao as the governor of Jingzhou.

In front of everyone, Liu Zong wrote a letter, affixed the seal of the governor of Jingzhou, and sent people to Nanyang and Luoyang, asking Liu Bian to send troops to Jingzhou to expel Sun Ce from Jiangdong.

The ceremony will not be over for a while. The hall of the governor's mansion is very lively, and many officials come in and out, bringing servants with them, so that the defense is relaxed.Even Mrs. Cai accompanied Liu Zong out of Liu Biao's bedroom.

Everyone didn't realize that a servant dressed as a servant had mixed into the crowd.This person is about 20 years old, tall and handsome.But his footsteps were wasted, and his face showed a little sickness.

Looking at Liu Zong, Mrs. Cai and others in the hall, the young man's eyes were full of jealousy: "Damn it, my father is still unconscious, and these people confer the position of governor to Liu Zong. I am the eldest son of my father, why not me?"

This young man is Liu Biao's eldest son, Liu Qi. Liu Qi is decent and filial, but lacks ability.A few days ago, he learned that Cai Mao was seriously ill, so he came to visit him every day, but he was turned away, even the governor's mansion.

Today, he suddenly received the news that Liu Zong was succeeding Liu Biao, and he, Liu Qi, had no one to inform him.Naturally, Liu Qi couldn't get angry, so he dressed up as a servant and went into the governor's mansion to find out about the situation.

Seeing that Mrs. Cai was also in the hall, Liu Qi knew that the opportunity had come, and hurried to the backyard.

Due to the grand event held in the mansion, there were not many guards, Liu Qi went outside Liu Biao's courtyard, but saw soldiers handle the door from afar.With an idea, Liu Qi came to the kitchen to bring a cup of ginseng tea, and entered Liu Biao's house under the pretext of delivering medicine.

Liu Qi put the bowl on the table, but saw that there was also a medicine bowl on the table. There was less than white powder on the mouth of the bowl, and the bag of Mongolian sweat medicine beside the bowl was also there.It was also Madam Cai's carelessness. He was in the house on weekdays, and if someone came, he could clean it up in advance.

But today Liu Zong succeeded to the throne, and she didn't have time to clean up the matter in a hurry, so she was discovered by Liu Qi.Liu Qi dabbed a little bit with his fingernail, held it to his nose and sniffed it, and his expression changed drastically: "Although my father is usually in poor health, he is still strong. I said why he fell into a coma. It turned out that Mrs. Cai, a poisonous woman, is here. I took sweat medicine!"

Now that he knew why Liu Biao was in a coma, Liu Qi found a way to wake him up. He got clear water to massage his temples, and pinched his middle. After a while, Liu Biao woke up leisurely, looked at Liu Qi blankly and said, "My son, I where is this?"

"Father, Cai Mao colluded with Mrs. Cai and put sweat medicine in your medicine, so that you were unconscious for several days. Now in the front hall, Cai Mao is struggling with everyone and has elected Liu Zong to be the interim governor. The letter to the court for help has been sent. I'm out. Please ask my father to go out and make the decision." Liu Qi quickly fell to his knees and explained to Liu Biao.

"Pfft..." Liu Biao had just regained his composure, and after hearing these words, he was furious again, spurting a mouthful of blood.

"Father..." Liu Qi was terrified, and quickly patted Liu Biao's back.

Liu Biao was filled with emotion, and at the crucial moment, this son was still filial: "Good boy, I know your filial piety as a father, and helped me up to go to the front hall. This Cai Mao is really audacious. Now that I am not feeling well, I really need someone to temporarily take the post of governor." , but this person is not Liu Zong, it can only be you!"

Liu Qi was overjoyed and hurried forward to serve Liu Biao.However, Liu Biao is tall and burly, and now he is physically weak, while Liu Qi looks strong on the surface, but in fact he can't resist his shoulders, can't lift his hands, and has no strength at all.

Holding Liu Biao for two steps, he couldn't move anymore. Liu Biao also complained repeatedly and said, "My son, you'd better help me back to bed. If I go any further, my old bones will fall apart."

Liu Qi was very embarrassed, but he could only help Liu Biao back, and then Liu Qi said: "Father, you wait here, I will find someone to rescue you."

Liu Biao was lying on the bed, staring at Fang Liang with no trace of expression in his eyes. Liu Qi said a few more words, and Liu Biao burst into tears: "I never thought that I, Liu Biao, a wise man, would end up like this?"

"Father, don't panic, I'll find someone to save you." Liu Qi said again.

"It's useless, there are Cai Mao's cronies outside, you won't be able to get in if you come here again." Liu Biao shook his head in despair.

After Liu Qi heard this, he also said with a look of despair: "Could it be that my Liu family can't succeed in Heaven's death?"

Liu Biao felt dizzy for a while, and wanted to fall asleep again, so he couldn't help scolding: "I don't know how much perspiration medicine this thief woman has given me. My father is very dizzy now, get your pen and ink quickly." .”

Liu Qi hurriedly took pen and ink and waited on Liu Biao. Liu Biao wrote and said, "My son, I can't get out because of my father. This Cai pretended to be a traitor for glory. I will never let him succeed. This Jingzhou belongs to me. I want to give it to him." Give it to anyone, take this letter to Jiangxia to see Wenpin, and ask him to surrender to Zhao Kuangyin. I will let his three families fight for Chu, and all three will suffer, no one will feel better about it."

Liu Qi took the letter and said with a sad face: "Father, do you have to do this?"

"Hurry up, Cai risked him to take power in the future, An Neng let you go? You go to see Wenpin, there is still a way out." Liu Biao waved his hand and said.

"But will Wenpin listen to me?"

"Wenpin was single-handedly picked up by me, obey me, you just go. My father is dizzy, you go." After Liu Biao finished speaking, his eyelids trembled slightly, and he fell into a coma again.

Seeing this situation, Liu Qi had no choice but to follow Liu Biao's instructions and tidy up the room, lest Mrs. Cai find out when she comes back and send troops to arrest him.After tidying up, Liu Qi left me with the medicine bowl and then left the governor's mansion, rode a fast horse, and went to Jiangxia to find Wenpin.

In the governor's mansion, the meeting was still going on, Mrs. Cai also went back to her room to check, she saw blood on Liu Biao's chest, she thought he was ill again, she just increased the dose, but she didn't tell Cai Mao.

On the other hand, Cai Mao was preparing to go to Jiangxia to defend Jiangdong soldiers and horses the next day, and Liu Qi was destined to rush to Jiangxia one day before Cai Mao.

At the same time, in Luoyang, Liu Biao received a request from Huang Xu and others.

The four talked to Liu Bian about the whole story, and then took out letters from Cai Mao and Liu Yu.After watching it, Liu Bian murmured, "Unexpectedly, these little fellows went to Jingzhou, but they contributed to this great event. Although this is not the best time to attack Jingzhou, but the meat delivered to the door has to be eaten."

Originally, Liu Bian planned to attack Zhao Kuangyin first, seize Xuzhou, Xuzhou, and go south step by step, step by step.

And Jingzhou is located in the center of the south, with Sun Ce in the east and Liu Zhang in the west.Taking Jingzhou, Liu Bian's territory will be easier to penetrate. From a strategic point of view, there is a danger of being cut off, and it is easy to be attacked by enemies.

But now that Jingzhou is a land that is offered to him, it is impossible for Liu Bian not to take it.

After severely reprimanding the four young generals, Huang Xu was not allowed to go out at will, and then let them retreat.Liu Bian summoned his advisers to discuss the matter.

There are important ministers of Liu Bowen, Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia, Wei Xiaokuan, and Di Renjie.After Liu Bian told the matter to the ministers, he waited for the opinions of the ministers.

The ministers pondered for a while, Xun Yu took the lead and said, "Your Majesty, I think Jingzhou is not desirable."

"Huh?" Liu Bian was taken aback when he heard the words, and immediately asked, "Why is it not advisable?"

Xun Yu cupped his hands and explained: "Jingzhou is the land of the Four Wars, and its territory is bordered by Yizhou, Jiangdong, and Yuzhou. That is to say, if your Majesty takes Jingzhou, you will definitely be enemies with Zhao Kuangyin, Sun Ce, and Liu Zhang. With your majesty's strength, it is natural Don't be afraid of these three parties, but now there are only Nanyang soldiers and horses available in the south, it is okay to deal with one party, but against the upper three parties, you will definitely lose."

"Of course I know this. As for making enemies with the three parties, it's just a combination. You must eat the fat that comes to your door." Liu Bian shook his head, refuting Xun Yu's suggestion in a rare way.

Liu Bowen also stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I also agree with Xun Wenruo's suggestion. Originally, His Majesty Jingzhou did not intend to move and let the southern princes attack each other. This Liu Biao originally planned to ask Zhao Kuangyin to deal with Jiangdong, because of the yin and yang Wrong, it attracted Cai Mao and others to defect to His Majesty.

But when your majesty attacks Jingzhou, Zhao Kuangyin and Sun Ce, who were originally hostile to him, will point the finger at your majesty, and the two of them will definitely join forces to deal with you.I also ask your majesty not to be greedy for Jingzhou, let them fight among the three parties, so that your majesty can concentrate on developing its strength, and it is the best policy to start with Xu and Yan in the future and make every step of the way. "

"Why don't you..." Liu Bian looked at Liu Bowen in distress. His intention to take Jingzhou was obvious, but Liu Bowen didn't expect him to disagree.

"What about you?" Liu Bian looked at Di Renjie, Xun You, Guo Jia, Wei Xiaokuan and others.

Di Renjie also cupped his hands and said: "I do not agree with your Majesty's taking Jingzhou."

"Actually, even if Your Majesty doesn't send troops to Jingzhou, Zhao Kuangyin and Sun Ce will unite in the future. It's just a matter of time." Xun You shook his head and said, "After the two of them have fought for a while, they will definitely not be able to fight, and then they will settle for a truce. If Your Majesty does not send troops at this time, what will you use to fight south of the Yangtze River in the future? You must know that there are only [-] naval troops in Fancheng. If you give up this opportunity at this time, the Jiangnan area will be as solid as gold. Your Majesty will rule the world for more than ten years.

At this time, sending troops to Jingzhou is only defending the enemy on all sides, but guarding the Yangtze River can still be defended.In the future, if you send troops to Jingzhou, you will face the powerful naval forces in the south of the Yangtze River, and you will have to sigh at the ocean!Therefore, I agree with His Majesty to send troops. "

Liu Bian was overjoyed when he heard the words, "It's still Gongda who knows what I'm thinking."

In fact, the strategies and propositions of these counselors have something to do with their personalities. Xun Yu, Liu Bowen, and Di Renjie are steady and advocate step by step.But Xun You, Wei Xiaokuan, and Guo Jia are good at ingenuity, and they advocate surprise and adventure.

There is no one right or wrong between these two factions of counselors, but their strategic goals are different, but they are both sincerely thinking about the Han Dynasty.

Liu Bian looked at Wei Xiaokuan and Guo Jia, knowing that they would agree to attack Jingzhou.
