    Sun Ce saw from a distance a group of people and horses under the city. The leader was young, only twenty-five or six years old. He was wearing a brocade robe with black and green tiger patterns and riding a white horse.  */.//*When Sun Ce saw this, he reined in his horse and shouted loudly.

    "Could the person in front wearing a black and green brocade robe be Liu Jingzhou's eldest son, Young Master Liu Qihu!?"

    Liu Qi listened and ordered everyone to reply.  Sun Ce and Zhou Yu looked at each other and shouted again.

    "Young Master, please come and speak. Don't worry, Young Master, I have no intention of harming you. I am really afraid that Young Master will be restrained by others and dare not tell the truth!"

    After Sun Ce finished drinking, Zhou Yu flew out on horseback and stopped at a place.  Liu Qi was hesitant after hearing this. Zhang Fei behind him was afraid that Liu Qi would make a mistake and stop him.  Liu Bei also dissuaded him.  Zhuge Liang smiled calmly.

    "You don't have to worry too much. Zhou Gongjin will not harm the young master. The young master can go to see him alone."

    Zhuge Liang's words were like magic. Liu Qi immediately calmed down and rode his horse slowly towards Zhou Yu.  When the two approached each other, Zhou Yu bowed first.

    "Zhou Gongjin, the governor of Jiangdong, has met the young master!"

    Liu Qi's face was pale and his body was extremely weak, so he replied immediately.

    "If you are sick and cannot perform rituals, please don't blame me, the Governor."

    Zhou Yu was shocked when he saw Liu Qi's appearance and was speechless.  After a long time, he asked Liu Qi questions again and again.  Zhou Yu's questions were all about Liu Bei's irresponsible behavior, and Liu Qi answered them one by one, saying that Liu Bei was benevolent.  Zhou Yu naturally didn't believe it, and secretly believed that Liu Qi was incompetent and that his father's career had been eroded by others and he was still kept in the dark.

    Suddenly Zhou Yu changed the topic and asked Liu Qi.

    "I wonder what kind of affairs the young master is responsible for on a daily basis after inheriting his father's business and commanding the nine counties of Jingxiang?"

    Liu Qi was slightly startled, thought for a while, and answered truthfully.

    "Excuse me, Commander-in-Chief. I am mediocre in talent, but my uncle is a great man in the world. He also has Zhuge Kongming, a great talent, under his command. I leave all the affairs of Jingzhou to my uncle. My uncle trains for Jingzhou day and night, but he doesn't want me to work hard.  I look for all the beauties and fine wines in Jingzhou. On weekdays, I live like a god, but my uncle works hard for Jingzhou. Every time I think about this, I feel guilty! "

    Liu Qi looked touched, as if he regarded Liu Bei as his father.  When Zhou Yu heard this, he sneered in his heart and said secretly.

    "Liu Xuande is really hypocritical to the extreme, and his vicious heart is unparalleled! On the surface, he treats Liu Qi kindly, looking for beautiful women and good wine for him, but in fact he deliberately lets Liu Qi indulge in wine and sex, and ignores political affairs, so that he can monopolize power.  !¡±

    Zhou Yu thought about it for a while, then said goodbye to Liu Qi and returned to the formation, and Liu Qi also returned.  Zhou Yu quickly taught Sun Ce such and such in his ears, and Sun Ce's expression changed continuously.

    When he was young, Sun Ce rode out and called Liu Bei to come out and answer.  */.//*Liu Bei drove his horse forward to see Sun Ce.  After the two of them bowed, Sun Ce said with a smile.

    "Gong Jin has asked the young master just now. Uncle Liu Huang is indeed a righteous man in the world and has never coveted the power of Jingzhou. Now that the young master Liu Qi has ascended to the throne of Jingzhou, Jingzhou has returned to its orthodoxy. If I continue to challenge him, it will be unjust. I  It is necessary to accept the truce between the two families, but before that, I have one more question, and I would like to ask Uncle Liu to answer it and discuss it later!"

    "Wu Hou has something to say, if you and I can unite, it will be a great blessing for the people of the world!"

    Liu Bei was overjoyed and asked Sun Ce anxiously.  Sun Ce sneered in his heart and asked.

    "Although the emperor's uncle is the son's uncle, Jingzhou is the foundation of Liu Jingsheng's line after all. If the emperor's uncle takes it, it will be unjust. What will happen if the master is not here in the future?"

    Liu Bei looked solemn and said in a condensed voice.

    "Wu Hou, don't worry! I, Liu Xuande, will never covet other people's inheritance. I am temporarily in charge of Jingzhou affairs. It is all my brother Jingsheng's order. Liu Qi's nephew, I will guard Jingzhou for one day. If you are not there, leave.  There is discussion!¡±

    "This is the best. If the young master is not here one day, but Uncle Liu is strong enough to take it, I will raise an army to attack! Now, Uncle Liu, don't say that I, Sun Bofu, are unkind and unjust!"

    "That's how it should be!"

    "Okay! That's how it is. The Sun and Liu families will have a truce and unite today!"

    "Wu Hou is righteous, I have prepared a banquet in the city early. I also invite Wu Hou into the city to have a banquet!"

    When Sun Ce heard this, he immediately laughed and said:

    "Haha! I am the commander of the army, how can I enjoy it alone? If the emperor wants to entertain me, he will have to treat me with thirty thousand Jiangdong sons!"

    Although the Sun and Liu families have temporarily made a truce and united, yesterday, the two families were still mortal enemies. Naturally, Sun Ce would not attend Liu Bei's Hongmen Banquet alone.  However, Sun Ce refused in person, which was a loss of face, so he deliberately made things difficult for Liu Bei.

    When Liu Bei heard this, he laughed and bowed his hands.

    "This is of course. Since the Sun and Liu families are united, how can there be any hope that Jiangdong soldiers are members of their own family?"The city of Jiangling could not accommodate so many soldiers and horses of Marquis Wu, so the soldiers from Jiangdong were invited to have a banquet outside the city.  "

    Sun Cehu narrowed his eyes, stared at Liu Bei for a while, raised his eyebrows and said.

    "Oh? It turns out that the emperor's uncle has already made arrangements. If this is the case, Sun will be more respectful than obey his orders!"

    After Sun Ce finished speaking, he bowed to Liu Bei and said goodbye, then he rode back to the formation. After discussing with Zhou Yu for a while, he ordered all the troops to press towards Jiangling City.  Liu Bei seemed to have great trust in this new ally and opened the city gates wide, defenseless.  However, everywhere in the city, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu faintly noticed that there were many crossbowmen ambushing and guarding in the dark.

    Zhou Yu also made arrangements secretly. He ordered the sergeants not to drink too much, but to drink only three drinks. They should supervise each other. If anyone drinks more than one drink, he will be killed!

    At night, 30,000 Jiangdong soldiers were having a banquet outside the city. Sun Ce led the Jiangdong ministers to have a banquet in the city. Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang entertained them warmly without any pretense.  During the banquet, there was harmony on the surface, but everything seemed to be full of crises. The Sun and Liu families warned each other, and Sun Ce never left Liu Bei ten meters away. Zhou Yu also stayed close to Zhuge Liang. Both of them were in the same situation for thousands of years.  Zhou Yu's eyes are full of tit-for-tat hostility, while Zhuge Liang's eyes are calm and calm, and the mirror is still.  As for the generals of Sun and Liu, they all had their eyes widened, as if they were ready to fight at any time.

    After the banquet, Sun Ce politely declined Liu Bei's invitation, led his generals to retreat from the city, and led the army back to the stronghold overnight.  At three o'clock in the night, Sun Ce gathered everyone under the tent to discuss matters.  The generals all had doubts about Sun Ce agreeing to a truce so easily, and they all asked.

    "Liu Qi was young, cowardly and ignorant, and was manipulated by others to monopolize power without knowing it. In this way, Jingzhou is in Liu Bei's hands. How will my lord conquer Jingzhou in the future if he joins forces with him?"

    Sun Ce smiled brightly and turned to look at Zhou Yu.  Zhou Yu also laughed and said.

    "Don't worry, gentlemen. My lord has something to say today. If Liu Qi is still in Jingzhou, we, Jiangdong, will have good relations with Jingzhou. If Liu Qi is not here, and Liu Bei takes Jingzhou by force, Jiangdong will send troops to attack!"

    Before Zhou Yu finished speaking, Cheng Pu interrupted suspiciously.

    "Then Liu Qi is so young, how can he die!?"

    "Haha. What General Cheng said hit the nail on the head. Today I see that Liu Qi is too drunk and drunk, and is extremely ill. Now he looks thin, asthmatic and vomits blood. In less than half a year, he will die! If Liu Bei captures Jingzhou at that time, our troops from Jiangdong will be able to  Split the army from Changsha and Guiyang into two groups and send troops to attack!"

    Zhou Yu's words were so shocking that all the Jiangdong generals' expressions changed, and Cheng Pu's copper bell-like eyes widened.  Lu Meng, who was on the side, immediately pondered, his mind was racing, as if he had caught a clue, and suddenly his face was shocked and he said quickly.

    "Liu Qi is in his prime, how could he be invaded by wine and sex! Could it be that Liu Xuande did this intentionally!"

    Hearing this, Zhou Yu suddenly grinned with a bright smile, secretly sighing in his heart that Lu Ziming was really capable, and nodded in response.

    "Zi Ming is smart, but Liu Xuande is hypocritical and has a vicious heart. He can kill people thousands of miles away without a single blow. It's really terrifying! It's a pity that everyone in the world has been deceived by his superficial hypocrisy!"

    After hearing this, all the generals in Jiangdong looked horrified.  Sun Ce narrowed his tiger eyes full of domineering expression and snorted coldly.

    "Hmph! Sooner or later, the hypocritical mask of the big-eared thief will be revealed, and the world will know how vicious he is! Now that the Sun and Liu families have temporarily ceased fighting, I think our Jiangdong troops have been fighting in Jingzhou for a long time, and the soldiers are all tired. Tomorrow  , we will withdraw our troops and rush back to Jiangdong to rest and prepare for the future war!"

    ¡°Oh!!!¡±

    Sun Ce gave the order, and all the generals in Jiangdong responded in unison.  The Jiangdong army rested for a night. The next day, the generals of various departments led the army to retreat slowly and returned to the east of the river.  At the same time, Sun Ce also sent people to Jiangxia to notify Zhou Tai to withdraw his troops.

    Liu Bei finally let go of the huge stone in his heart when he saw that Sun Ce had kept his promise and returned to Jiangdong.

    Half a month later, the Jiangdong troops in Nanjun and Jiangxia all retreated to the border of Jiangdong.  Sun Ce made Cheng Pu the governor of Guiyang and guarded Guiyang, and also made Huang Gai the governor of Changsha.  Two Jiangdong veteran generals guarded Guiyang and Changsha, training their troops and formations day and night, and preparing for the future war. Naturally.

    Sun Ce's Jiangdong Army withdrew from Jingzhou, and Liu Bei divided his troops to guard the remaining counties in Jingzhou, stabilizing the situation in Jingzhou with lightning speed.  Here, the seven counties of Xiangyang, Wuling, Nanjun, Jiangxia, Lingling, Nanyang, and Shangyong all fell into the hands of Liu Bei. Liu Bei's power increased greatly, and his rise was unstoppable!

    Sun Ce returned to Jiangdong and saw that Liu Bei's power was expanding rapidly. Naturally, he did not want to live in peace and stability because of his close friends, so he discussed with Zhou Yu.  Zhou Yu offered advice and taught Taoism.

    "Liu Bei is a great hero in the world, and Cao Cao is extremely afraid of him, otherwise he would not have lusted after him over and over again in the past."Put him to death.  Now that Liu Bei is powerful and has established his foundation in Jingzhou, how can Cao Cao tolerate him?  Why don't the lord send someone to report Liu Bei as the shepherd of Jingzhou? This will not only arouse Cao Cao's fear of Liu Bei, but also make people in Jingzhou panic, and Liu Bei and Liu Qi will turn against each other!  "

    "Hahaha! Gongjin's plan is brilliant!

    Sun Ce was overjoyed and smiled brilliantly, so he followed Zhou Yu's plan and sent Hua Xin to Luoyang.

    But it is said that Cao Cao ascended the throne as the king of Wei, stabilized the internal situation, and was about to carry out his imperial hegemony to unify the world.  At this time, Cao Cao was gathering his advisers to discuss matters.  The advisers may talk about marching north and west, or they may talk about launching troops south of the Yangtze River. They all have their own reasons and argue endlessly.

    At this moment, someone suddenly reported.

    "Hua Xin, the envoy of Soochow, reported that Liu Bei was the shepherd of Jingzhou, and the two families of Sun and Liu joined forces. Most of the nine counties in Han Dynasty belong to Liu Bei!"

    "What!! Liu Bei has taken over most of the Han Dynasty!!!"

    When Cao Cao heard this, he stood up angrily with a look of shock on his face.  Cheng Yu frowned and said in attendance.

    "The king of Wei is in the midst of thousands of troops, and when the arrows are being attacked, he is not tempted, so he can wait calmly. Now I hear that Liu Bei has captured Jingzhou, why are you so frightened?"

    Cao Cao narrowed his eyes as if they could swallow the sky and said coldly.

    "Liu Bei is shameless, hypocritical, and deceives people's hearts. He is quite like the great ancestor of the past. He is a dragon among men. He has been defeated for many years because he has never tasted water in his life. Now that he has conquered Jingzhou, it is like trapping a dragon into the sea.  , Its power is unstoppable. Moreover, he has Zhuge Kongming, a great talent, and Sun Ce is forced to withdraw his troops from Jingzhou. This must be due to Zhuge Liang's plan. "

    When Cheng Yu heard this, he was also shocked, and then he pondered.  At this time, Guo Jia showed a faint smile and asked Cao Cao.

    "Does the King of Wei know the purpose of Hua Xin's visit?"
