"Come on, Brother Liu Qi, I wish you this cup! Thank you for your warm hospitality." Liu Mang raised the cup in his hand to toast the prefect of Shinno who was sitting at the table.

That's right, Liu Qi below is Liu Qi, the eldest son of Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou Prefecture. Because Liu Mang has the position of kingship, Yu Li said that Liu Qi should be sitting at the lower table, while Liu Mang was sitting in the main seat, and Liu Qi did not lose any etiquette.

Liu Qi is as handsome and tall as his father. Liu Biao was known as the Eight Horses at that time. Although he expressed his talent, it was also related to his appearance. Unfortunately, his name was Moran, silent and taciturn. As the saying goes, a child who could not cry had no milk to eat. No wonder Liu Qi became a person like an abandoned son after his mother Chen died. His younger brother Liu Zong was born to his stepmother Cai. Most of the troops in Jingzhou were also in the hands of the Cai family. Liu Qi was silent anymore and did not want to find support from the big families such as the Kuai family or the Huang family. The position of the lord of Jingzhou was no longer the same as him.

Liu Mang didn't expect that such an honest child who might have been killed by his stepmother would have become the prefect of Xinye. The position of Jiangxia, which originally belonged to him, had been lost to Wen Pin. Now Jiangxia is only left with Chibi and other places in Xiakou, is still under Liu Biao's command. Other places are in war. Liu Qi is okay in governing the people, so he would be really blind to let him go to war. It's also a blessing from Liu Qi, otherwise Liu Mang would not be able to enter Xinye City. If he wanted to enter, he would definitely be in, because he learned from Liu Qi that the envoy from Jingzhou died outside Xinye City. If it were a more irritable Xinye City, he might be able to start the war directly.

"Where is it! This is what Liu Qi should do!" Liu Qi is really honest, with a good face. With this generous temperament, if he put it in modern times, he would definitely be a star. Unfortunately, this is a chaotic world. There is no way to survive in honest people like Liu Qi. On the original trajectory, Liu Qi was really forced to do anything, so there was an allusion of going up the wall to tear the ladder.

"Come on. Brother Liu Qi, Liu Mang respects you again. This is a familiarity between us." Although Liu Mang is not the lineage of Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, he now has a king of Shu. Liu Qi was originally a relative of the Han Dynasty. His father Liu Biao was also an uncle of the Emperor Liu. According to the ranking of the Han Dynasty, Liu Qi and Liu Mang can really be called brothers. Liu Mang changed his name. He no longer called himself this king, but called his name directly to be familiar.

"I dare not, I dare not! Your Highness of Shu is polite! "Liu Mang is just a polite act, but Liu Qi took it seriously and said he would not dare. If this was a peaceful and prosperous era, even if his father Liu Biao met Liu Mang, he would have to kowtow and salute. Moreover, Liu Mang was still in charge of the position of General Zhengnan. If he carefully calculated, he, the prefect of Xinye, was still under Liu Mang's command.

"What's the point? You and I belong to the descendants of Emperor Gaozu. When this building is about to collapse, you should stand up. Show the friendship between the same clan and support each other, turn the tide and restore the Han Dynasty!" Liu Mang's words were a lot of great principles. After hearing the leaders' speeches in his previous life, he naturally learned this set. In fact, it was empty talk. But people in this era really like to listen. You talked to him about the suffering of the people. You talked to him about the amount of money and grain. Maybe he said you are a vulgar person and a benefit, but you talked nonsense with him, saying that the country and the world are like to restore the Han Dynasty, such as restoring the Han Dynasty, and letting the people live and work in peace and contentment. If you don't pick up the leftovers, you will be full of energy. Even if the old Cao urged the emperor to command the princes, he was under the guise of supporting the Han Dynasty. If you add some tears, it would be even better. For example, Liu Paopu made this set perfect.

Crying, making trouble and hanging, Liu Bei really attracted a lot of talents. Wasn’t his second and third brother attracted him because of Liu Bei’s ambition?

"Your Highness of the King of Shu?"

"Hey, what else is your name? Your Highness, Shu King? My surname is Liu, my name is Mang, and my name is Hanyang. If Brother Liu Qi doesn't dislike me, just call me Hanyang!" Liu Mang now looked at the current situation in Jingzhou. So Liu Qi was the first person Liu Mang won over.

"Han, Brother Han Yang!" Liu Qi didn't dare to be arrogant. He stuttered a little. He couldn't help but feel a little excited. Liu Qi is in his thirties this year, and he is Liu Mang's brother at the age of age.

Liu Mang didn't go to correct it anymore. If he called Liu Qi as his brother, Liu Qi might be really scared. It would be better to call each other.

"Brother Moran, Liu Mang still wants to toast you this third cup, because this glass of wine may be the last glass of wine for you and me after saying goodbye. The next time we meet, the heavens and man will be separated forever!" Liu Mang was full of sadness, and he could not cry, but he could still do this sad face.

Liu Qi was shocked when he heard this, "What does Brother Han Yang say? Is Brother Han Yang worried about the thrilling danger of going to Xiangyang this time?" Liu Qi subconsciously thought that Liu Mang was worried about his trip to Jingzhou. "Don't worry, Brother Han Yang, my father is the governor of Jingzhou, is kind and kind, and is a humble gentleman. Brother Han Yang will definitely be warmly entertained by my father, and he is as generous as an elder!" Liu Qi defended his father Liu Biao.

"Haha, Brother Moran, Liu Mang is not worried about himself when he goes to Xiangyang, but about you, Brother Moran!" Although Xiangyang is dangerous, Liu Mang is not worried about his own safety. The two armies will not kill him even when they fight. Unless Liu Biao really wants to tear his face with Lu Bu's army, Liu Mang will have no worries about his life. What's more, a living Liu Mang is more practical than a dead Liu Mang. Unless Liu Biao is stupid, he will kill Liu Mang.

"Worry about me?" Liu Qi was really stunned this time. You, Liu Mang, entered Jingzhou alone, can be said that people are the slaughter and I am the fish. If you don't care about yourself, are you worried about my life?

"Hey, hey, hey! Brother Moran has the style of being a father and has the posture of a gentleman, but unfortunately, God is jealous of talent. Such a gentleman died at the hands of a traitor, but this gentleman will not have a good end. Alas, alas!" The time for Liu Mang to take the acting skills of the postgraduate entrance examination, and Liu Mang suddenly beat the ground and showed a feeling of grief and anger.

"Ahhhh!" Liu Mang's actions really scared Liu Qi, and he couldn't help but ask, "Brother Han Yang, why are Liu Qi worried about it!"

Hearing Liu Qi's inquiry, Liu Mang began to laugh in his heart. The fish had taken the bait. The ally of Jingzhou had "Brother Moran. Mang was not good at speaking about this matter!" Liu Mang looked at Liu Qi while shook his head with regret.

"What can't be said?" Liu Mang became more anxious and worried that Liu Qi became more and more anxious than he said.

"This matter is related to Brother Moran's relatives!" Liu Mang revealed a little. Because he knew that such words could not be said directly. If you tell others directly, you will die, the person who harmed you will be your relatives. It would be fine if they didn't beat you to death.

Sure enough, Liu Mang said this and Liu Qi frowned, and there was a hint of discomfort on the road. No matter what Liu Qi's family affairs were, it was all about Liu Qi's family affairs, and Liu Mang was just an outsider after all.

Liu Qi subconsciously got angry, no matter who he was, he would be very upset about his family affairs, but looking at Liu Mang's words, it didn't seem fake, family members? Liu Qi began to remember his family. Who is Liu Qi's family member? His father Liu Biao, younger brother Liu Zong, and stepmother Cai.

Liu Mang looked at Liu Qi and blinked and continued, "Ah, born in the family of princes. Brothers have no friendship! This Yuan family is so powerful, with four generations and three dukes, and has four states, but these two sons are unfilial sons. Yuan Shao is seriously ill, but these two sons are thinking about the position of the general. This leads to the struggle between each other and the flesh and blood are tragic!"

Yuan Shao? Brothers were killed each other? Liu Qi couldn't help but bring himself into that scene. Although Liu Biao had only two sons less than Yuan Shao, Liu Biao had one follower Liu Pan, just like Yuan Xi of the Yuan family. They were all capable people but had no right to inherit.

"If brothers are uneven, if they do not establish descendants, they will naturally be destroyed by flesh and blood!" Liu Qi received the benefits of a gentleman, which is also the Confucian and Zhou Li. The Zhou Li is the establishment of the eldest son. Although other descendants may be much better than the eldest brother, they will avoid the destruction of flesh and blood.

"But you can blame Yuan Tan." Liu Qi is the eldest son, Yuan Tan is also the eldest son. Liu Mang is trying to bring Liu Qi into the role of Yuan Tan. "As soon as Yuan Benchu ​​fell ill, the youngest son Yuan Shang thought about the position of general, and joined hands with his mother to secretly refuse to report it! He was preparing to lure Yuan Tan into the camp and kill him. The brotherhood was ignored."

When Liu Mang said this, Liu Mang clearly saw Liu Qi's body trembling.

"But Yuan Tan is not a good guy. Fortunately, he has his own team and Qingzhou as a basic foreign aid. He immediately fled into Qingzhou, reached Qingzhou to become independent, and competed with his younger brother for the position of general!" After Liu Mang finished speaking, Liu Qi had not yet reacted. He was really afraid. How imagining Yuan Tan and himself were Liu Mang's words. Yuan Tan was the eldest son, and Liu Qi was also the eldest son, but both of them fell out of favor because of his younger brother's existence. Moreover, both of them died prematurely, and the stepmother controlled the backyard. The stepmother was not the kind of kind person. Yuan Shao was seriously ill and Yuan Tan could not see his father. Liu Qi had not seen his father for a long time. If something happened to Liu Biao, Liu Qi might have blinded him.

Yuan Tan was able to escape because Yuan Tan had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands and had Qingzhou land, so Yuan Tan was not afraid at all. What else did he, Liu Qi? Just the prefect of Xinye City! Moreover, he, the prefect, had few soldiers and horses, and the total number of soldiers was only 5,000. The remaining more than 10,000 soldiers were in charge of the lieutenant sent from Xiangyang and belonged to Xiangyang. His younger brother's uncle Cai Mao was the military advisor of Jingzhou, and the Cai family, who were in charge of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, was one of the major gentry of Jingzhou. What did Liu Qi use to fight with his younger brother Liu Zong? In the end, I'm afraid he could only regret it on the spot.

Thinking of this, Liu Qi was awakened by fear, and his clothes were wet. If you touched it, you will find that it was all cold sweat. Liu Qi was really scared. If you follow the script of Yuan, Liu Qi had no way to go except to die. Once his father was seriously ill, Liu Zong summoned himself back in the name of his father. Liu Qi would not have gone, because if he didn't go back, it means that you have no father in your heart and have no filial piety and will be scolded by the world, but once you go back, you will really die.

"Your Highness the King of Shu saved me!" Liu Qi was so frightened that he didn't bother to drink, and he knelt in front of Liu Mang.

"Save you? How to save me, Brother Moran, if I can save me, I will definitely be obliged!" Liu Mang smiled in his heart, but on the surface he showed great embarrassment.

"Your Highness of the King of Shu must have a way, there must be a way!" Liu Qi was really panicked. Since Liu Mang said that he would die, there must be a way to save him, otherwise he would not have said that, because what does Liu Qi's death have to do with him Liu Mang?

"Oh, Brother Moran, Mang was unwilling to participate in the matter of Jingzhou. Because I lacked food and grass in Yangzhou, I still have to ask Liu Envoy to go to Xiangyang this time. Brother Moran, the power of the Cai family in Jingzhou, you don't know. If you help Brother Moran, I'm here!" Liu Mang said in a difficult situation.

Liu Qi looked at Liu Mang and knew that he could not bring any benefits, so Liu Mang could not help him. "Your Highness, the King of Shu, although Liu Qi has no right to use the food and grass in Xinye, he will definitely be able to deal with it to the end and mobilize thousands of stones of food and grass for Your Highness Yangzhou!"

Ten thousand stones of grain and grass should be Liu Qi's limit. Liu Qi is too honest and can't bargain at all. If others say 5,000 stones first, then slowly increase the price. This shows how great my sacrifice is and let the other party do their best to help. How can Liu Qi just explain his trump card?

"Okay, since Brother Moran is so open, if Rang refuses again, it will be Rang's fault!" Liu Mang is really rare in this troubled world. The less such a person is, the more precious it is. Liu Mang really wants to help Liu Qi.

"Brother Moran has ever heard of Shen Sheng and Chong'er, the State of Jin!" Liu Mang asked.

Shen Sheng Chong'er?! Liu Qi is a typical representative of Confucian children. How could he have never heard of these two people? During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, in order to make his son Xiqi succeed to the throne, Li Ji, the concubine of Duke Xian of Jin, designed a poisonous plan to murder the prince Shen Sheng. Shen Sheng was forced to commit suicide. Shen Sheng'er, the younger brother Chong'er, ran away in exile. During the exile, Chong'er suffered humiliation. It turned out that most of the ministers who followed him went out one after another. Only a few loyal people were left, and they were following him. One of them was named Jie Zitui. Once, Chong'er fainted from hunger. In order to save Chong'er, Jie Zitui cut a piece of meat from his leg, roasted it with fire and gave it to Chong'er. Nineteen years later, Chong'er returned to his country to become the monarch, and was one of the famous Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period.

Liu Qi doesn't want to be Shen Sheng because his final fate will naturally die, but is this Chong'er so easy to do?

Liu Mang didn't know who sent Liu Qi to this Xinye. Although Liu Qi seemed to be far away from Jingzhou in Xinye, he was actually very dangerous.

"Although Chong'er escaped, he wanted to restore the country but couldn't rely on Chong'er!" Liu Mang continued to speak. Duke Wen of Jin, if he was the only one, let alone restoring the country, it might even be a luxury to survive. Duke Wen of Jin even regarded Duke Wen of Jin as a long time, and his son-in-law. At that time, he forgot his family hatred and hatred. The restoration of Duke Chong'er was also related to helping someone. This person was Duke Mu of Qin, Duke Mu of Qin, who was strong at the time, and proposed marriage to Duke Xian of Jin. Duke Xian of Jin married his eldest daughter to him. Later, Duke Xian of Jin was a fool and the most favored concubine Li Ji, who lied that Shen Sheng wanted to poison Duke Xian of Jin to death and used Duke Xian of Jin to get rid of Duke Xian of Jin by his hand.

Shen Sheng. So, the other two sons Yiwu and Chong'er fled to other countries for refuge in order to survive. Later, the Jin minister Rick killed Li Ji's two sons and wanted to welcome Feng Chong'er back to the country. Duke Mu of Qin also wanted to do this, but the ministers believed that Chong'er was better than Yiwu and could not make Jin powerful. So Duke Mu of Qin turned to Ying and establish Yiwu as the king. But soon, Yiwu feared the power to kill Rik and other old ministers, and sent people to chase Chong'er, and revenge for his kindness and revenge, which led to Yiwu's tranquility with Qin. He forgot the kindness of Qin and sent troops to attack Qin, and was eventually defeated. He had to cede land and beg for mercy, and asked his son Gongzi to go to Qin as a hostage, which made the relationship between the two countries well.

In order to contact Prince Mu, Qin Mu married his daughter Huaiying to him. This was a matter of kinship in the society at that time, and the relationship should be very stable. However, Prince Mu heard that his father was sick and was afraid that the position of the king would be passed on to others, so he left his wife and sneaked back to Jin. The next year, as soon as Yiwu died, Prince Mu became the monarch of Jin and did not interact with Qin. Unexpectedly, Prince Mu was another ungrateful Yiwu. Qin Mu was of course very angry and immediately decided to help Chong'er become the monarch of Jin. With the help of Duke Mu of Qin, Chong'er captured the capital of Jin and sent someone to kill him. Duke Huai of Jin died less than a year after his reign. Duke Mu of Qin remarried his daughter Huaiying to him.

At this time, the relationship between Duke Mu of Qin and Jin was very subtle - he was the brother-in-law of Yiwu and Chong'er, the old father-in-law of Yiwu's son, Prince Yu, and his brother-in-law Chong'er. Finally, Duke Mu of Qin, the brother-in-law and son-in-law, became Duke Wen of Jin among the famous "Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period". Shortly after Chong'er's death, Duke Mu of Qin took the opportunity to defeat Jin, which had become the overlord of the Central Plains, and also became one of the "Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period".

After his death, he could not care about his funeral after his death. It was no longer important for Duke Mu of Qin to attack Jin. What Liu Qi wanted was the previous matter of Duke Mu of Qin to help Chong'er. Without Duke Mu of Qin to support Chong'er, he would not have become Duke Wen of Jin.

"Foreign aid?!" Although Liu Qi is honest, he is not a fool. If you look for foreign aid, is it not good to be close to him? It is convenient and can support him quickly. Liu Bei is the closest person.

"Haha, Liu Qi, you want to find a foreign aid like Liu Bei, but you don't know if Liu Bei is willing to help you!" Liu Mang looked at what Liu Qi thought, naturally sneered. People have this characteristic, that is, desire, and greed. This is not one or two people, but most people have it. For example, what did Liu Mang come to Jingzhou for? For food and grass, but Liu Mang also wants Liu Qi to take Xinye under his command. This is the same with Liu Qi. Liu Bei's army is in Nanyang, after all, much closer than Liu Mang, but now Liu Bei is not the Liu Bei's former Liu Bei. The original Liu Bei might hit it off with Liu Qi, because

In order to use Liu Qi's name, Liu Bei was able to seek Jingzhou, but now Liu Bei has two places, Yuzhou and Nanyang. What he needs now is not the place of Jingzhou, but the food and grass support from Jingzhou. If he joins Liu Qi, he will inevitably offend the other party, which is the opposite of Liu Qi. His younger brother Liu Zong, Liu Zong doesn't care, but a few years old, but the one standing behind Liu Zong is different. Cai family! Zhang family! These two aristocratic families can be regarded as the top leaders of the entire Jingzhou military, and the Kuai family, the Kuai family, did not show interest in Liu Qi. On the contrary, they may wear the same pair of pants as the Cai family.

Do you really think Liu Bei is stupid for offending so many families for Liu Qi? So Liu Bei doesn’t want him if he wants to alliance with Liu Bei.

"Huh!" Liu Qi understood this time. His Royal Highness in front of him was already his last life-saving straw. The one who could save him Liu Qi was Liu Bei and Liu Mang. The rest like Cao Cao was willing, but Liu Qi was disdainful to be with Cao Cao, and there was Sun Ce in Jiangdong. Sun Ce had a grudge with Jingzhou to kill his father. How could he help Liu Qi? He wanted to kill Liu Qi. Now Liu Bei had cut off his foreign aid for the Cai family. If Liu Mang's army let go, then Liu Qi would sit and wait for death.

"Your Highness, Liu Qi is willing to offer sacrifices as a driving force!" Liu Qi knelt down and bowed.

"Brother Moran, please get up quickly, please get up quickly!" Liu Mang hurried forward and helped Liu Qi up. This Liu Qi was the key to Liu Mang's conquering Jingzhou. Liu Mang was also very interested in people like Liu Qi.

Liu Mang has not seen Xinye City. People live a peaceful life everywhere. In the fields and countryside, the people's faces are not the ashes that Liu Mang once saw in Yangzhou, but a smile, a hopeful smile. Only with a road of life and hope can he truly smile. If it is Yangzhou and that kind of person who is in danger of peace, who can still smile?

So Liu Qi can be regarded as a master of governance and an administrative strongman. If he had not been born in the family of the princes, he would have been a person who had left his name in history.

"Brother Moran is like a brother to me. You and I don't need to be polite. Brother Moran, Liu Mang, is here to accept it. Once the situation changes, I will definitely guarantee that Brother Moran will be the governor of Jingzhou!"

Liu Mang's last sentence finally calmed Liu Qi's heart.
Chapter completed!
