Five days later, Liu Cong and Liu Xiu, who were responsible for escorting the follow-up supplies from Nanyang, came to Liu Qi's army in Jiangguan.

For Liu Biao, he really hopes that Liu Qi can support these two younger brothers. After all, they are all descendants of the Liu family in Shanyang. Liu Biao hopes that they can all become talents... It is best to become a talent like Liu Qi. Only in this way can the Liu family in Shanyang grow stronger and prosper in the clan.

Of course, in terms of actual situation, this is just Liu Biao's wishful thinking. Even if Liu Qi tries to vomit blood and sacrifices his life to train these two younger brothers for Liu Biao, he may not meet Liu Biao's expectations and requirements for them.

This is not a personal problem for any of them, but a talent problem.

Strictly speaking, the gap between Liu Qi and these two younger brothers is born, and it cannot be made up for the past by using a simple concept of diligence.

However, the matter of protecting Jiang Pass at the moment does not concern a person's special ability. In Liu Qi's opinion, as long as he follows his established plan to cross the river, there will definitely be no trouble in the short term, and to a certain extent, it is also a self-leading army, which is more in line with Liu Biao's expectations for the training of his two younger brothers.

Since they arrived in Nanyang County, Liu Cong and Liu Xiu have not left Xinye. They have been following Liu Qi's army and listened to each other. Both of them were incorporated into the Jingwu Camp. This time, when they came to Shu east to take Jiangguan to meet Gan Ning, the two of them were also food and fodder officials in the rear, and in fact they did not have any direct power to command the troops.

After the escort of grain and fodder was escorted, the two of them came with the military officer who "really escort the escort of grain and fodder" to report the escort to Liu Qi.

"Zhonghuang, Shuyou, this time I have an important task. I want to hand it over to one of you two. This is also what my father means. I hope that I can train you more for my brother, so that you can become successful as soon as possible, and contribute to the foundation of the Liu family in Jingzhou in Shanyang."

After hearing Liu Qi's words, Liu Cong was obviously excited, but Liu Xiu had no special expression.

Liu Qi sat on the top, folded his hands in front of the table, and thought carefully for a while. Fang said: "Let you take free jobs in Xinye, in fact, to let you be familiar with military affairs during this period of time. Now, I have to calculate it for more than one season, and it is almost time for you to come out to experience it... At present, there is a person from the gate of Jiangguan. Who can you do it?"

Liu Xiu hesitated for a moment, and then said to Liu Qi seriously: "Brother, I am not talented, I am afraid I am not capable of sharing such a burden for my brother. Jiangguan is the pass that my brother has just built. I am young and have little talent, so I may not be able to bear the great responsibility."

Liu Xiu insisted on refusing, but Liu Cong on the other side said hurriedly: "I am willing to share my worries for my father and older brother."

Liu Qi looked at Liu Cong carefully and said, "Zhonghuang, have you thought about it? It is different to lead troops to guard the pass. You should not just show off your passion. If you lose money, the consequence will be that you will lose your territory and trap the city, and your life will be worrying."

"I have already thought about it thoroughly. If I am not competent, I would like to deal with it with my elder brother."

Liu Qi smiled and shook his head, saying, "I have no right to deal with you. If I deal with it, I will be my father."

After saying that, Liu Qi looked up and said, "Come in."

When he was young, he saw Huang Zhong bringing a 40-year-old man into the hall.

"I've met the Duke."

Liu Qi turned around and looked at the man behind Huang Zhong and said, "I know this person."

"The last official Zheng Hun, I have met Liu Fujun." The visitor said respectfully.

Liu Qi smiled and said, "When Yixian Inn was killed in the time when he was exterminated by the clan thieves, you had a contribution, and Liu still remembered it fresh."

The Junhan named Zheng Hun said, "I don't want the Duke but I still remember it."

When Liu Qi and Liu Pan first entered Jingzhou, Huang Zhong recommended to Liu Qi the eighteen subordinates who accompanied him to fight against the Yellow Turbans in Nanyang, and helped Liu Qi ambush the thieves in the clan. Later, these eighteen people were all arranged in the army, and later they were gradually promoted by military merits, each with their own responsibilities.

This Zheng Hun is the best around Huang Zhong and has now been promoted to the Marquis of Military Affairs.

"Zheng Hun, today I will give you an exception to the military position. I will be the Sima of another department and assist Zhonghuang in guarding Jiangguan and strictly prevent the Shu army from attacking eastward. You may perform your duties to protect Jiangguan completely?"

Zheng Hun was a very calm and capable person at first glance. When he heard Liu Qi's promotion, he was not too happy and excited. He just bowed to Liu Qi calmly and said, "The last official should fulfill his responsibilities."

Liu Qi looked at Huang Zhong, but saw that Huang Zhong just nodded slightly.

The meaning he wanted to express was very obvious: this person could be used to guard Jiang Pass.

Liu Qi looked at Liu Chong again and told him: "Second brother, if you are careful to keep the iron ropes and generals in Jiangguan, you should be careful to keep the pass, and discuss with Sima Zheng if you have any questions. You only need to stay in the pass this year, and you can show your ability. In the future, you should use it with confidence for you... This pass is not big, but it is a big test for you. Do you know?"

"Brother understands."

"Hansheng, you take Zhonghuang and Zheng Sima down, familiarize yourself with the terrain of Jiangguan, and walk in the camp where the troops stayed, so you can observe."

"only!"

Huang Zhong then took Liu Cong and Zheng Hun down, but Liu Xiu was left in the hall by Liu Qi.

"Third brother, why don't you argue for the responsibility of guarding the pass just now?"

After hearing Liu Qi's inquiry, Liu Xiu seemed to hesitate: "My younger brother is talented and knowledgeable, so he may not be able to bear the great responsibility."

"Don't say anything."

When Liu Xiu saw Liu Qi pointing it out, his expression was a little distorted and unnatural.

Liu Qi said seriously: "Actually, you can see that this Jiangguan area requires careful care by a town general, but in fact, there will be basically no big war. Letting you choose one of you here is purely for free to make military achievements, but why did you give your second brother credit for not trying to fight?"

Liu Xiu was silent for a while before saying, "My second brother has ambition, no one can match, it is as good as the beauty of adulthood."

Liu Qi smiled: "What an adult beauty, are you very open-minded?"

Liu Xiudao: "I only like classics and are not good at military power planning."

Liu Qi said seriously: "After that being said, you should use heavy dictates in troubled times and also use heavy valuations. Bad things may be good, otherwise how can you save yourself?"

Liu Xiu thought about it carefully, and then said seriously: "What the eldest brother said is that my younger brother is pedantic."

Liu Qi smiled and said, "But it is rare that you have such a humble heart. Let's follow Brother Wei in the future. I don't know what I don't know. Let's discuss it together."

"Jinno."

...

After the matter of Jiangguan was settled, Liu Qi walked down the river and returned to Zigui, then went straight to Shangyong along the east of Fangling, and the entire army headed to Hanzhong County.

Going to Jiangguan to seize the pass and save Gan Ning was just a small episode. His real purpose of sending troops this time was Hanzhong and Jia Long, who was still fighting for territory with Zhang Lu and Zhang Xiu there.

Hanzhong County has a vast territory. Although it is just a county, in terms of its vast territory, it almost caught up with the entire Yuzhou area.

At this time, Shangyong, Fangling and other counties had been taken down by Jia Long. By the time the area east of Xunyang had all fallen into Jia Long's hands. Following Xunguan westward and along the Mian River westward, you can go straight to Anyang, and then go west along the river to reach Nanzheng, the capital of Hanzhong County.

Now, Zhang Lu and Zhang Xiu's troops are stationed in Nanzheng, facing Jia Long, King Chen and Liu Chong, who are stationed in Wuling City.

The areas between Nanzheng and Wuling City, such as the Xicheng, are to a certain extent, look like a buffer zone for the military forces between the two sides.

After Liu Qi's troops entered Hanzhong County, they entered Wuling City.

Jia Long and King Chen are here, and everyone meets each other.

Needless to say, Jia Long and Yan Yan have known each other for two years. We are still familiar with each other and are relatively familiar with each other.

But this is the first time that King Chen and Liu Chong and Liu Qi have met.

By generation, this old man with a big beard and gray beard is considered his grandfather.

"Liu Qi has met the king." When the two met, Liu Qi greeted King Chen very well.

When Liu Chong saw Liu Qi, he seemed quite friendly and said with a smile: "Don't be so unfamiliar with wise grandson. You and I are both royal families, so you don't need to hold court etiquette, you can just be called by the clan."

Liu Qi thought in his heart that I would call you with my position in the officialdom, and it would be more comfortable than the title of seniority in the clan.

But the problem is that Liu Chong has already said bluntly that he wants to seek relatives with him. If he still insists on using the title of officialdom, it would be a bit insufficient for the other party.

After all, Liu Chong is still one of the more important members of the Guardian Alliance.

It is not convenient to offend such trivial matters, and the requests of others are reasonable, and there is nothing excessive.

"Liu Qi has met Weng Weng."

Liu Chong smiled and said, "What a wise grandson."

After greeting, everyone sat down in the main hall.

For some reason, Liu Chong kept looking at Liu Qi, as if he couldn't see enough.
