Wu Yi and the other three were really in pain at this moment.

It is really appropriate to describe their mood at this moment.

They wanted to go back to Yizhou to meet their family members, but Liu Qi insisted that they serve in their own army. But once they accepted the appointment of Jingzhou, what kind of treatment would their tribe members in Yizhou be treated by Liu Yan?

They are really hard to grasp.

Lei Yu punched a horse-tethered stake outside Liu Qi's mansion, causing the horse-tethered stake to crack, but at the same time, blood began to flow down his fist.

"There are wolves in front and tigers in the back, which is simply to force someone to death." Lei Yu said in anger with shame.

Wu Bo said hesitantly: "This matter is really helpless. What should we do now?"

Wu Yi pursed his lips, hesitated for a while, and suddenly straightened his back, as if he had made up his mind.

When he was young, he heard him affirmatively: "I decided to agree to Liu Fujun's request!"

"What?"

When Wu Bo and Lei Yu heard Wu Yi say this, they immediately became panicked.

"Ziyuan, what do you mean? Could it be that you want to abandon your family in Shuzhong to ignore it?"

Wu Yi shook his head and said seriously: "It is precisely because of the Shu people and our future that I have to agree to Liu Fujun's request."

Wu Hoki said: "Why is this?"

Wu Yi looked at the two of them back and forth and said, "Actually, you know in your heart, but you don't want to admit it. In fact, since the three of us were captured in Jingzhou and my brother Wu Ban and others were released back to Yizhou, our three tribes have become no different from the traitor in Liu Yan's heart! The reason why Liu Yan has not attacked our tribe yet is nothing more than the internal and external troubles of Yizhou now. He does not want to make trouble again and anger the scholars of Dongzhou. It has nothing to do with whether we accept the military position of Liu Fujun at this moment!"

Lei Yu's face turned red and white, and he looked extremely ugly.

Although he had this idea in his heart, he was always unwilling to admit this fact.

Humans are such creatures. When reality is out of their control, they will try their best to deny it, because the most terrifying feeling in this world is not pain, but unknown.

They don't want to admit in their hearts that they have no control over the world, even if they know the truth.

"The two, Liu Yan is a very old and terminally ill, and it is already in danger. In recent years, Yizhou has been repeatedly attacked by foreign invaders, and there have been rebellions inside and suppressed repeatedly. They also annexed Liu Yan's two sons in the hands of Liu Qi and Dong Zhuo. Yizhou is highly controlled. According to Gong and others, what is the chance of Liu Yan being able to protect Yizhou in the end? Alas, everyone knows it!"

Lei Yu and Wu Bo looked at each other and both sighed.

They naturally knew that Liu Yan’s current situation was not very good. Even if he still maintained an absolute strength in Yizhou, how long can he last for this advantage?

When he was young, he saw Lei Yu with a depressed face and said, "Even if that's the case, do you really dare to gamble? What if Liu Yan burned his jade and killed the people in our clan regardless of the consequences?"

Wu Yi gritted his teeth and said, "Didn't Liu Fujun just now? He has a way to protect his tribe members for us!"

Wu Bo showed an incredible look.

"Do you really believe him?"

Wu Yi nodded seriously: "Believe!"

Wu Bo was puzzled: "Liu Boyu is the one who designed the plan, and now he is coercing us to make a decision. Things have reached this point, but you dare to believe him? Why?"

Wu Yi sighed and said, "It is precisely because I have never believed in him that I have fallen into this situation today... If I don't believe it now, I don't know how many difficulties the days ahead will be. Do we have any choice?"

Wu Bi and Lei Yu were pale when they heard this, and both bowed their heads and said nothing.

It seems that now, there is only one way out.

...

The next day, Wu Yi and the other three came to visit Liu Qi, and each expressed their willingness to be loyal.

Liu Qi felt very happy after hearing the three of them’s requests and was willing to accept his appointment.

"I believe that the three of you can make such a choice must have suffered a lot of torture in your heart, right? Do you all hate Liu to death?"

The three of them said in their hearts: Yes.

On the surface...

Wu Yi hurriedly said, "How dare we resent the Lord of the Mansion? I will never know. If I don't have Lord of the Mansion, how can I have today?"

Liu Qi smiled and said, "How can I not? I force you to make the last choice between me and Liu Yan. This is persecution. You should hate me, but don't worry, I will never let you three suffer this grievance for nothing. I will sooner or later let this hatred disappear."

After saying that, Liu Qi took out a volume of silk from the table and said to the three of them: "This is the appointment of Sima from other departments in the Jingwu Army. From today on, you three will be dispatched by Dian Wei."

"No!" The three of them responded together.

"In addition, this time I will place the hostage Liu Fan sent by Dong Zhuo in the military camp of the three of you, and let him go with the army to go on the war together. Do you understand the profound meaning of this?"

Lei Yu and Wu Bo haven't figured it out yet, and they thought it was a good idea, why did they put Liu Fan in our military camp?

Before the two of them could question, Wu Yi suddenly said, "The last official and others are deeply grateful to the kindness of the mansion! Thank you for your protection!"

Liu Qi smiled when he saw this.

Sure enough, among these three people, Wu Yi is the most eye-catching and has a good idea of ​​change.

But it is no wonder that if he didn't even have this ability, he would probably not be Liu Bei's elder brother-in-law in history.

Although Lei Yu and Wu Bo don’t quite understand what Liu Qi means, Wu Yi has always been the most informed and smartest among the three of them. I don’t think there will be any problem with following him.

The two immediately bowed to Liu Qi together: "Thank you, Mr. Fu, for your protection."

Although they had no idea what Liu Qi saved them.

Liu Qi told the three of them a few more words, and asked them to go down and follow Xu Dan to Dianwei to report on the matter of preparing to follow the army.

The three of them bid farewell to Liu Qi and left the hall to find Dian Wei. On the way, Wu Bo and Lei Yu asked Wu Yi for advice.

"Ziyuan, why do you mean to thank Liu Fujun just now? What do we have to thank him?"

Wu Yi couldn't help but sigh.

I can’t even figure out this. How can they be their family members? They can still command the clan... they are all waste!

"Two, who are Liu Fannai?"

Lei Yu subconsciously said, "Of course, he is Liu Yan's eldest son..."

"That's it. Since Liu Fan entered Jingchu, Liu Junlang has been ill and has been struggling back and forth for a year. With the power of Shu, if he wants to defeat rebels like Jia Long, Ren Qi, and Gan Ning, as long as Liu Junlang is willing to make up his mind, it will be impossible to complete this year. But he has never dared to take too much force. Why? It's because he is afraid that his eldest son will be injured in Jingchu. Liu Yan will not give up Liu Fan until he has no choice. Can you understand?"

Wu Bo seemed to react: "Liu Fujun specially placed Liu Fan in our camp... Did he deliberately make it for Liu Yan to see?"

Wu Yi nodded and said, "Yes, this move seems casual, but it is actually very meaningful. Liu Fujun is telling Liu Yan that if he dares to touch our tribe... Liu Fan is in the hands of us and the three of us, and I am afraid that it is hard to say what we will do to Liu Fan when we look back."

Lei Yu clapped his hands suddenly and said, "So that's the case. I don't think that Liu Fan's hostage will put Jing Chu in such an active position. Liu Junlang was angry in his chest, but he couldn't let it go!"

Wu Yi sneered: "So, the person who advised Dong Zhuo to send Liu Fan to Jingzhou was actually the most vicious person in the world. I still can't figure out who planned this vicious plan."

"Just..." Wu Bo said hesitantly: "But if Liu Junlang really gave up Liu Fan, wouldn't all our tribe members be slaughtered? After all, this person is cruel and he can't do the job of giving up the eldest son, but he may not be able to do it!"

Wu Yi shook his head and said, "Liu Yan is old and no longer as cruel as he was back then. It is difficult for an old man to make up his mind to make such a decision... Even if he can make up his mind to give up his legitimate son, he still needs to see if it is worth it."

Speaking of this, Wu Yi looked back and forth at the two of them and said, "You two think that killing the people of our three tribes can bring Liu Yan to the exchange of Liu Yan? Is it for the retreat of Jingzhou, or Liu Fan's return to Shu, or the destruction of Jia Long and Ren Qi?"

"This..." Both of them hesitated when they heard this.

Wu Yi continued: "On the contrary, killing our family members is nothing more than the centrifugation and despise of the scholars in the East Prefecture of Sichuan. It is really not worth the loss... You two think that what choice should Liu Yan make for such a heart-wrenching transaction?"

Wu Bo and Lei Yu suddenly realized it.

This Liu Fujun... did what he said and used his method to protect the families of the three families, although the methods were extremely sinister.

...

After handling the matters between the three families, Liu Qi went to the Cai family in person that afternoon to meet Cai Mao.

The incident of introducing Cai into Nanyang County was recognized by Liu Biao in advance, and the father and son had already thought about this matter carefully.

Nanyang County now has many forces. In addition to the Xiliang Army, it also includes those prominent families in the Longxing area. Unlike Jingnan, Nanyang County has been a place with many aristocratic families more than a hundred years ago. If the Shanyang Liu clan wants to completely control Nanyang County, even if it is only half, it will be a little helpless.

We must lead some clans from the Nanjun area and support them as an arm to deal with and balance the local families of Nanyang County and to confront the Xiliang Army.

Among the tribes in Nanjun, the Cai family is undoubtedly the most powerful. Now the relationship between Cai Mao and Liu Qi has been greatly eased through the previous battle, and they are closely related to each other.

At this moment, if you don’t lead the Cai family into Nanyang County, I’m afraid I’m sorry for Cai Mao’s sincerity towards Liu Qi.

Besides, in Liu Qi's concept, the Cai family was brought to the thunder of Nanyang County by him this time, and it was not as simple as the superficial support.

...

"Sister! Hahaha!" Cai Mao seemed very excited when he saw Liu Qi.

He walked forward, grabbed Liu Qi's hand, and pulled him into the hall hard: "It's rare that my sister will go back to Xiangyang. Today, our brothers should drink everything they say, and we agreed! We won't go back if we don't get drunk!"

Faced with Cai Mao's enthusiasm, Liu Qi couldn't help but smile a little bitterly.

"Degui, I'm here to discuss serious matters with you today."

"Who says serious things should not be drunk? There are a few friends in the mansion today, and everyone will drink together!"

Liu Qi could not resist Cai Mao, so he could only pull him to the middle of the hall.

At this moment, there were still a few people sitting in the hall, all of whom were important people among the Xiangyang clan, and Liu Qi recognized them.

One of them, Liu Qi, is very familiar with, and is Kuai Yue, one of the two heroes of the Kuai family.

Behind him, a young young man was still following, looking at him about the same age as Liu Qi, and I don’t know who he was.

"Mr. Fu!" But when Kuai Yue stood up in a hurry, came to Liu Qi with a smile, and bowed to him: "Mr. Fu has made great achievements in Huairu last year, which has shocked Jingchu. People from the ten counties have bowed and praised him. Yue is here to congratulate him."
