Tao Qian stared at Zhao Fan tightly, and began to weigh the current situation in his heart.

After a while, Fang listened to Tao Qian and said, "My wish is to help Yuan Gaolu to correct the situation and drive Yuan Benchu ​​and Liu Jingsheng to go out of Jingzhou with his subordinates, and there is nothing else."

After hearing Tao Qian's words, Zhao Fan took a deep breath.

He stabilized his mind and said to Tao Qian: "The envoy's words are a bit untrue. When Zhao was about to leave, he received a report from Liu's mansion, saying that Tao's envoy's troops arrived in Danyang County, not for anything else, but for recruiting Danyang's elites."

Tao Qian was touched by Zhao Fan and his face was slightly heavy.

This Liu Boyu is as extraordinary as the rumors, not simple!

That kid is only ten years old and has no experience in the court. He can actually figure out what I think in my heart... Liu Jingsheng's son is truly amazing.

But he is much better than the two timid boys in his family.

Tao Qian slowly stood up from his original position and walked to Zhao Fan.

Although he is old, he is quite powerful because of his violent temper and strong momentum.

Zhao Fan looked at Tao Qian face to face, and for some reason, he felt a little faint in his heart.

But he also tried his best to calm himself down and not let himself show his timidity in front of Tao Qian.

The two looked at each other face to face. When they were young, Tao Qian said coldly to Zhao Fan: "Boy, let me tell you, how can Liu Boyu help me fulfill my wish?"

After hearing what Tao Qian said, Zhao Fan's nervous mood fell slightly.

Zhao Fan straightened his waist and back, straightened his clothes, and said to Tao Qian: "Liu Jingzhou and Tao envoys were officials in the same dynasty in the past, and there was no gap between them. Later, they served as local supervisors and served both courts. They were both loyal ministers and nobles. As the chaos in today, the envoys and Liu Jingzhou should echo each other. Now Liu Fujun and envoys are in Danyang County. The two sides are fighting each other, not only to mention the loss of soldiers and generals, but also to make major mistakes. It is better to stop the troops and quit the battle and join hands in Danyang County to recruit elite soldiers to strengthen the momentum of both sides and each gain their own profits. How about it?"

"What?" Tao Qian frowned when he heard this, his tone was a little unkind: "Your Liu Fujun is also going to recruit soldiers in Danyang?"

"The soldiers of Danyang have the armor of the world, and my master has admired him for a long time."

Tao Qian sneered and said, "Danyang County belongs to Yangzhou. Your master is from Jingchu and the governor of Nanyang County. He is not recruiting soldiers from Jingchu. What is the reason for coming to Danyang County to recruit soldiers?"

After hearing Tao Qian's words, Zhao Fan felt that this old man was really domineering.

"How did the envoy say this? As the inspector of Xuzhou, I can come to Danyang to recruit soldiers. Why can't my family come here to recruit soldiers?"

Tao Qian's face turned a little blue in an instant.

He clenched his fists hard, as if he wanted to slap Zhao Fan in the face.

But Tao Qian was born as a famous scholar after all, and was cultivated there. Even if he was willing to get angry on weekdays, he would at most just speak out and sarcastic, and would not fight with others at will like a fighting gossip on the streets.

Tao Qian said coldly: "You go back and tell your Liu Fujun... If he wants to make a good repair with me, he will quickly lead his troops out of Danyang territory. If it is delayed for a long time, don't blame me for being ruthless. As for the matter of recruiting troops in Danyang County..."

Speaking of this, Tao Qian smiled coldly.

"Don't even think about it."

Zhao Fan did not expect Tao Qian to refuse: "Eunuch, now you and me are in Danyang, both of them will benefit, and if they are divided, they will harm. My family sincerely wants to recruit soldiers in Danyang with Tao, why should the envoy refuse?"

Tao Qian couldn't tell the reason for the rejection.

In fact, it was basically said that he didn't want Liu Qi to recruit Danyang soldiers.

He was not close to the Liu family in Shanyang, so how could he want to see Jingzhou strong?

"I have decided, just go back and tell Liu Lang directly! If he is not convinced, just send troops to fight."

...

Tao Qian was strong and domineering in Danyang County and was unwilling to recruit soldiers with Liu Qi. Zhao Fan was scolded by him and could only return to Jingzhou Military Village in a mess to report and report to Liu Qi on the specific talks process.

Liu Qi asked Zhao Fan to see Tao Qian this time, and he also wanted to see if Zhao Fan would reveal his fox tail.

After all, Zhao Fan stayed by his side to avenge his elder brother, but it was absolutely impossible for him to do this with his own strength.

Liu Qi guessed that Zhao Fan's ultimate goal would still contact a certain force in front of the battlefield and plot against him from both inside and outside.

Since everyone thinks they are self-righteous and unintentional, then Liu will open the door to convenience for you.

I will give you the opportunity to go out and contact other forces.

But after hearing Zhao Fan talk about the negotiations made with Tao Qian this time, Liu Qi concluded that Zhao Fan did not reveal his own secrets in Tao Qian's place on this mission.

It seems that Tao Qian is not the candidate Zhao Fan wants to unite.

After Liu Qi learned about the situation, he asked Zhao Fan to go back and rest first. He sent someone to invite Liu Ye to discuss countermeasures with him.

Liu Ye's wisdom is not inferior to Kuai Yue in his opinion. With him cooperating with him, Liu Qi has a backbone in many things. He doesn't have to make any decisions on everything as before.

After hearing Liu Qi's retelling Zhao Fan's words, Liu Ye's mouth showed a bit of sarcasm.

"The older Tao Gongzu is, why is his temperament becoming more and more irritable? He really doesn't understand the way of tolerance and has the title of a famous scholar... Alas, those who ignore the current situation will never be able to achieve great things." Liu Ye decisively commented on Tao Qian.

Liu Qi drew circles on the table with his hands and said thoughtfully: "I showed sincerity to him, but he was strong and refused to cooperate with me. How should the current situation be solved?"

Liu Ye narrowed his eyes and said, "The back of Tao Gongzu is unstable, and he doesn't know that Ye has a way to ask Tao Qian to come and ask the Lord of the Mansion to make peace."

Liu Qi hasn't felt this kind of comfortable feeling for a long time.

For a long time, I have designed everything externally and offered strategies that can be adopted by others... This feels really wonderful.

"What method does Ziyang have to ask Tao Qian to take the initiative to ask for reconciliation?"

Liu Ye said calmly: "It's simple to say. The rear is unstable. There are many right and wrong between the counties and states in Xuzhou. If you use rumors, you will definitely disrupt Tao Qian's intentions. As for the war in Danyang County..."

Liu Ye stood up, walked to Liu Qi's side, and whispered to him in a low voice.

With Liu Ye's statement, the smile on Liu Qi's face became more and more profound.

"Zi Yang's method is very good, so I will do it as you say."

...

At this moment, Liu Qi asked someone to follow the method Liu Ye said, while sending Xiaozhu to spread rumors in Xuzhou, he began to prepare military forces in Danyang County, preparing to launch a military counterattack against Tao Qian.

It was at this time that in the Nanjun, Liu Biao sent Huang Zhong to personally lead troops to escort military rations and supplies, and came to the front of Danyang County through Lujiang.

It was said that it was escorting food and grass, but in fact it was just that Liu Biao was worried about Liu Qi and specially sent Huang Zhong to the army to serve him.

Huang Zhong is currently the first general whom Liu Biao was confidant in Nanjun. He asked him to serve Liu Qi in the front stage, which also shows how much Liu Biao cares about Liu Qi.

But Huang Zhong came this time not only himself, but also brought someone.

It's Huang Xu.

Since the Battle of Changsha, Huang Xu has been hidden by Liu Qixue.

...

"The last official Huang Zhong, pay homage to the Lord of the Mansion!"

Liu Qi had sent Dian Wei back to Xiling to recuperate. He was now worried about who should be regarded as a general in front of the formation. Now that Huang Zhong is here, it can be regarded as a relief to Liu Qi's current worries.

"Han Sheng came to serve in front of the formation, and the Southern Barbarians were like tigers, so I had no worries."

Huang Zhong said again: "Mr.... I came here this time, but it was not just Huang."

Liu Qi naturally understood who Huang Zhong was referring to.

"The son-in-law is here with you, right?"

Huang Zhong said in his forehead: "That's right...ah, I'm also blamed Huang for his lack of guidance and raised a rebellious son who was so willful and acted recklessly. He did not respect military orders in front of the formation and acted recklessly. This is actually a taboo for the leader of the army. Even beheading is not important... But he is the son of the last official, and this is Huang's mistake. I would like to ask the Lord of the House to give the Dog another chance."

Liu Qi sighed and said, "Hansheng, I have never used the son-in-law to let him be idle at home in the past few months. Do you know why?"

Huang Zhong said seriously: "What the Lord of the House is doing is for the sake of the good of his wife. Huang naturally understands this... The Lord of the House is just to polish the child's character."

Liu Qi stood up, walked to Huang Zhong, and smiled and said, "In my heart... the son, Wei Wenchang, and Zhang Sima are the big names of our Jingzhou army ten years later. The achievements of these three people in military affairs in the future are closely related to the life and death of Jingzhou. Therefore, Liu is a bit stricter in his current behavior, but he hopes that the son can become a great man... Hansheng doesn't blame me for it."

Huang Zhong hurriedly said, "The Lord of the Mansion has to pay more attention to the dog. How can Huang not know? Think about it carefully. Since the Lord of the Mansion came to Xiangyang, he has helped my father and son and taken good care of him. Huang is always grateful to the Lord of the Mansion. This kindness and love will never be forgotten by the father of the Huang family."

Liu Qi reached out and patted Huang Zhong on the shoulder and said, "Let the son get in."

Huang Zhong received the order and turned around and left the tent.

When he was young, he saw him leading Huang Xu in.

Liu Qi looked at Huang Xu's face carefully and found that his expression was quite different from the original spirit.

The original Huang Xu gave people the feeling of being arrogant, crazy, and unruly.

Even though Huang Xu looked very polite at that time, as long as he carefully observed his eyes, he could see the frivolous aura in his bones.

But now Huang Xu's arrogant and sharp look in his eyes is really much less than before.

Instead, it is calmness, transparency, and the obvious growth.

Huang Xu's face looked a little haggard, completely gone from the handsome and handsomeness of the past, and now she is quite vicissitudes.

It seems that during this period, he often fought against heaven and man in his heart, and he became a lot of fire.

When Liu Qi saw Huang Xu's condition, he felt a little distressed. After all, emotionally speaking, Huang Xu is very close to him, not only his master and servant, but also his friend.

But Liu Qi must be cruel. If he is not cruel, then even if Huang Xu fights with powerful enemies in the future, he will probably follow the old path of Sun Ce in history.

Huang Xu bowed to Liu Qi: "The criminal Huang Xu has met the Duke... The Duke, the last official has come here today, and he is specifically apologizing to the Duke..."

Before he could finish his words, Liu Qi looked up and blocked his words.

"Brother Huang doesn't have to say much. I have already known everything you want to say...Brother Huang, although you have a strong personal relationship, the military law is ruthless, I can only act like this... During this period, I have given up your position, are you convinced?"

Huang Xu smiled bitterly and said, "Huang Xu is no longer the difficulty of the young man Meng Lang that day. He was the master of the Mansion. At that time, Huang Xu did not respect military orders. The Mansion just let Huang Xu unemployed and never punished him. He has already found a private relationship... Xu Xie Gong!

Liu Qi laughed when he heard this.

He patted Huang Xu on the shoulder heavily and said, "I won't mention the original matter. You have already received the punishment you deserve. You have also reflected on the matters you should reflect on yourself. From today on, Brother Huang will be able to return to the military camp and restore his post! Let's work together to create great achievements and make contributions together."

Huang Xu shook his head.

He took two steps back, bowed to Liu Qichang, and said, "In the battle of Changsha, Xu disrespects the general order, and rebels as an offensive, disrupting the deployment of the army, just to fight for his own contribution. Huang Xu thought about it carefully over the past few months, if Zhang Xian's army had been sent to Changsha because Huang Xu only passed by, how could he kill me and atone for his sins? If the official was restored, how could he be convinced?"

Liu Qiqi said: "Then what do you mean?"
