Three Kingdoms lazy man

At this time, Xinye ushered in a son-in-law. He held a fan in his hand, his face was a little pale, and he was wearing a brocade robe. It was Liu Bei, the ruler of Xinye.

"Young Master, why did you come to Xinye today?" Liu Bei looked at the Young Master in front of him, and asked the Young Master in a gentle tone.

This person's status is extremely noble, and he is Liu Biao's eldest son, Liu Qi, who is also one of the heirs of Jingzhou.

Now Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao has two sons, the eldest son Liu Qi, and the second son Liu Cong. Because Liu Cong's adoptive mother is the daughter of the Cai family among Jingxiang nobles and has a high status, the big families in Jingzhou basically support Liu Cong, and Liu Qi He had no choice but to slowly get close to Liu Bei, an external force.

And Liu Bei also came to Jingzhou, wanting to gain a foothold, so he also cooperated with Liu Qi. It can be said that the cooperation between the two is very close!

"Uncle! Now that my father's health is getting worse, I'm afraid I won't live long. Now that the Cai family is eyeing me, I wish I could be dealt with quickly. If my father passes on the position to Liu Cong, I'm afraid my life will not be long. Come, I specifically asked my uncle for help, I hope my uncle can save me!" Liu Qi was sitting on his seat at this time, his face was completely pale, and he didn't know whether it was because of his poor health or being frightened for a long time. Looking at Liu Bei with a gentle face, Liu Qi said to Liu Bei with a heavy tone.

Liu Bei listened to Liu Qi's words, lowered his head silently, thought for a while, sighed helplessly, and said to Liu Qi with a heavy tone: "This is all the family affairs of the young master, how could Xuande intervene?"

"Uncle, if Liu Cong inherits his father's position, then the Cai family will definitely not let uncle off. Now my uncle and I are grasshoppers on the same rope. Both will be prosperous, and both will be destroyed!" Liu Qi heard. After hearing Liu Bei's faltering words, he immediately said to Liu Bei with a serious expression.

"Nephew, go down and have a rest first, I'm afraid you are tired from the long journey! Uncle will definitely give you an answer tomorrow!" Liu Bei looked at Liu Qi's appearance, and said to Liu Qi with a somewhat heavy tone.

"Uncle, please think carefully, now is a critical moment!" Liu Qi sighed helplessly after listening to Liu Bei's words, and then left silently.

Liu Bei looked at the back of Liu Qi leaving, and shook his head helplessly. At this time, a scribe walked out from the screen of the room, holding a feather fan in his hand, with a complexion like a crown jade, looking at Liu Bei, he laughed.

"What does the military advisor think of Liu Qi?" Liu Bei stroked his beard, looked at Zhuge Liang who was standing beside him, and asked calmly.

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan in his hand, thought for a while, and said to Liu Bei with a slight smile: "Liu Qi looks weak, but he also has ambitions, but his ability and strength are not worthy of his ambitions." , it is destined to be nothing in the end!"

After listening to Zhuge Liang's words, Liu Bei chuckled, then silently picked up the teacup, and asked Zhuge Liang in a calm tone, "I'm going to give Liu Qi an answer tomorrow, military master, how do you think I should answer him!"

"The lord should support him. For such a person, we helped him seize the position of Jingzhou Mu. We can slowly erode Jingzhou's power, and finally empty Liu Qi, and finally replace him when the time comes!" Zhuge Liang listened to Liu Bei's words , shook the feather fan in his hand, and said to Liu Bei in a calm tone.

"Tomorrow, I will just agree to him directly. If he asks me what to do, how should I answer!" Liu Bei listened to Zhuge Liang's words, nodded at Zhuge Liangliang, and then asked Zhuge Liang with a calm expression.

Zhuge Liang touched his beard, and then whispered a few words next to Liu Bei's ear.

Liu Bei raised his head silently, looked at Zhuge Liang with a faint smile on the side, stroked his beard, and said in a proud and admiring tone: "The military master is really resourceful, with such a strategy of killing two birds with one stone, I'm afraid it will not be easy to capture Jingzhou by then. thing!"

Chapter 556 Make tea and discuss things, each has his own thoughts

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Bei just got up and dealt with the official documents, when he saw Liu Qi came to his prefect's mansion in a hurry.

Liu Bei looked at the anxious Liu Pi, sighed helplessly, and said to Liu Qi calmly, "Nephew, don't be so flustered, let's talk in a quiet place!"

"Then there will be Uncle Lao!" Liu Qi looked at Liu Bei and said this, looked at Liu Bei with some frustration in his heart, and then silently followed Liu Bei to the back hall.

Liu Bei sat in front of a table and motioned Liu Qi to sit opposite him. Liu Qi glanced at Liu Bei, sat down silently, and then looked at Liu Bei with a nervous expression.

"Uncle, has Uncle considered the matter that my nephew raised yesterday?" Liu Qi watched Liu Bei pick up a small stove next to him and started to boil water. He looked very calm and seemed not in a hurry, so his tone Some nervously asked Liu Bei.

After listening to Liu Qi's words, Liu Bei raised his head silently, chuckled, and then said to Liu Qi in a calm tone, "Don't worry now, we'll finish drinking the tea I made, and we'll take it easy chat!"

Liu Qi listened to Liu Bei's words, looked at Liu Bei's indifferent face, sighed helplessly, and could only silently watch Liu Bei boil tea.

Slowly the pot on the stove began to emit bursts of heat, Liu Bei saw that the tea was almost boiled, took out two small bowls, filled them carefully, and then made a gesture of please to Liu Qi .

Liu Qi glanced at Liu Bei, and silently picked up a small bowl with his hand, but found that the tea was too hot, so he had to put it down just now.

"If you try too hard for success, you will still hurt yourself in the end, nephew, this is not how you drink tea!" Liu Bei looked at Liu Qi's appearance, said to Liu Qi in a gentle tone, and then gently put down the teapot , let it boil slowly on the stove.

After hearing Liu Bei's words, Liu Qi was taken aback for a moment, as if he understood something, so he quickly said to Liu Bei: "Uncle taught me a lesson, it's my nephew who is too anxious!"

"It's good to understand, it's almost ready to drink!" Liu Bei said to Liu Qi in a gentle tone after hearing Liu Qi's words, then silently picked up the small bowl in his hand and began to taste it carefully.

Liu Qi looked at Liu Bei's action, and imitated Liu Bei's appearance, and drank the tea carefully, but just after drinking the tea, Liu Qi felt the bitterness of the tea, but seeing Liu Bei's calm face opposite, Liu Qi could only look a little bit The bad one drank the tea.

"Uncle, how could you have the hobby of drinking tea all your life as a soldier?" Liu Qi drank the tea and felt that he was much better. He slowly put the small bowl on the table and looked at Liu Bei opposite him curiously. asked.

Liu Bei smiled lightly, and then replied to Liu Qi in a calm tone: "Actually, I didn't like to drink this tea, but in Xuchang, there was a man who often made tea for me, and I thought that guy was making fun of me. , Now I drink it here and there, but I have experienced a lot of things from drinking tea, and I gradually get used to drinking tea!"

After listening to Liu Bei's words, Liu Qi frowned slightly, and asked Liu Bei curiously, "Who is that person uncle said?"

Liu Bei looked at Liu Qi's curious look, stroked his beard slightly, then looked at Liu Qi's gaze, and said to Liu Qi in a calm tone: "This person is not much older than you, but his ability is He is different from ordinary people, so I won’t tell you more, I can tell you that this person’s surname is Bai, and his single name is Ren!”

"Bai Ren!? Bai Zifu, that's the one who fought for Cao Cao. Bai Zifu, I didn't expect him to have such a hobby as a warrior?" Liu Qi was slightly surprised when he heard Liu Bei's words, and his tone was a little amazed. Liu Bei said.

Liu Bei laughed when he heard Liu Qi's words. If Bai Ren was a martial artist, there would not be many people in the world who would dare to call himself a wise man. Thinking about what Bai Ren said to him back then, Liu Bei thought it was all a joke, but now it seems that One by one realized!

"When you meet the road, you will be happy! When you meet the road, you will be happy?" Liu Bei thought of Bai Ren, and suddenly remembered what Bai Ren said when he met him for the first time, and began to have some doubts in his heart. Whether it's true or not, Liu Bei suddenly became suspicious.

"Uncle, what are you talking about?" Liu Qi who was on the side looked at Liu Bei frowning, and the corners of his mouth were still mumbling, so he asked Liu Bei curiously.

Liu Bei listened to Liu Qi's doubtful words, recovered from his own thinking, then looked at Liu Qi who was facing him with a puzzled expression, and said to Liu Qi in a calm tone: "I didn't say anything, by the way, let's continue to drink Tea?"

"Uncle, don't hide anymore. I wonder if uncle has considered it. Now that the Cai family is eyeing the tiger, only the two of us can fight against the Cai family!" Liu Qi frowned slightly after listening to Liu Bei's words, and then his tone was a little bit Said to Liu Bei heavily.

Liu Bei laughed when he heard Liu Qi's words, and then said to Liu Qi with a heavy tone: "I promise you to unite with my nephew, but has my nephew thought about how to deal with the Cai family?"

"When the time comes, my uncle will attack Xiangyang, and I will cooperate with the outside. Uncle will take Xiangyang at that time. Just kill the members of the Cai family, and Jingzhou will be safe!" Liu Qi immediately looked happy when he heard Liu Bei's words, and then spoke eagerly. Looking at Liu Bei said.

Liu Bei listened to Liu Qi's words, silently picked up his own small bowl, took a sip of tea, then looked at Liu Qi who was looking a little excited in front of him, and finally said to Liu Qi with a heavy tone: "You can't do this!"

"Why is that?" Liu Qi's smiling face instantly froze after hearing Liu Bei's words, and then asked Liu Bei with a heavy tone.

Looking at Liu Qi's appearance, Liu Bei sneered in his heart. This Liu Qi's strategy seemed very good, but Liu Bei understood that such a strategy would only make him suffer in the end, and Liu Qi was the only one who benefited.

It is not an easy task to win Xiangyang with internal and external cooperation. After all, Xiangyang still has tens of thousands of troops.Even if it succeeds, the army under him will suffer great losses. The most important thing is that Liu Qi, as Liu Biao's son, will inherit the position of Jingzhou Mu. So, to leave a bad reputation, the better one is to become Liu Qi's courtier, the worse one is to be feared by Liu Qi.He turned against Liu Qi and was eventually expelled from Jingzhou.

"Don't mention the matter of attacking Xiangyang again. If you do this, brother Jing Sheng should choose what to do. Brother Jing Sheng is kind to me. I will never do such a thing!" At the critical moment, Liu Bei showed his benevolence. Because of this reason, Liu Qi's proposal was directly rejected.

Liu Qi felt a little upset when he heard Liu Bei's words, but he didn't express it, but pretended to be pitiful, and said to Liu Bei in a heavy tone: "Could it be that uncle just watched his nephew suffer from the Cai family's persecution in Xiangyang? "

persecution?Liu Bei sneered in his heart. Now Liu Qi can be said to be very safe. After all, Liu Biao is still there, and the Cai family is not stupid enough to touch Liu Qi now. However, Liu Bei did not express his emotions, but frowned slightly. Then he hesitated for a moment, and said to Liu Qi with a heavy tone, "I don't know what to do, but I have someone under my command who should be able to help my nephew out of danger."

"Uncle still has such talents under his command. I wonder who this person is?" Liu Qi heard Liu Bei's words, and saw that Liu Bei's expression did not seem to be fake, so he asked Liu Bei curiously.

Liu Bei stroked his chin, and said to Liu Qi in a serious tone: "My military advisor Zhuge Liang is very resourceful, my nephew can visit him sometime!"

"Zhuge Liang, could it be that Mr. Shui Jing, Sima Hui, said that the crouching dragon and phoenix are so young that one can rest in the world?" Liu Qi asked Liu Bei with a surprised expression after hearing Liu Bei's words.

"It's this person. This person is currently in the military camp outside the city. My nephew can ask him!" Liu Bei said gently, stroking his beard slightly.

"Uncle is really lucky. My nephew thanked uncle first and said goodbye!" Liu Qi gave Liu Bei a slight salute after listening to Liu Bei's words, and then left quickly.

Chapter 557 Zhuge calculates the strategy, Liu Qi asks the strategy

In the barracks, Zhuge Liang was sitting on the high platform silently fanning the feather fan in his hand, looking at Zhao Yun who was training the cavalry, raised his head expressionlessly, looked at the sky above his head, counted the time, That person should be coming soon!

"Military Master, there is a man outside who calls himself Jingzhou Shepherd Liu Biao, and wants to enter the barracks to meet the Military Master!" At this time, a soldier came to the high platform with a serious face and said, looking at Zhuge Liang who was shaking the feather fan in his hand.

"Oh! Are you here? Tell him to wait outside first. I'll watch General Zhao Yun train the cavalry first!" Zhuge Liang stroked his beard, stopped fanning his feather fan, and thought for a while, his tone Said to the soldier a little calmly.
