After a one-night battle, Liu Qi led his troops back to Xiling City.

During a big battle last night, Liu Qi and Shamoke joined forces to fight Zhang Xun who came to rescue, causing heavy damage to the other party.

When Le from Yuan Shu camp waited for the rescue of Huo and rushed out of the village to save him, Zhang Xun was already defeated and fled.

This is the inaccurate grasp of the timing of combat.

The ships in Zhang Xun's camp were also sunk by Yangzhan Cen Lang and Baili Xi.

Without ships, it would be very difficult for Yuan Shu to invade the mainland of Jingzhou on a large scale.

Moreover, after this battle, Yuan Shujun's morale was depressed. If he wanted to organize a decent scale attack on Jiangxia, it would be impossible to achieve it in the short term.

After returning to Xiling City, Liu Qi found Su Fei and had a long and earnest conversation with him for an hour.

The purpose of this conversation is roughly the meaning of Liu Qi's attempt to withdraw Huang Zu's two thousand stones and replace him with Jiang Xia.

However, because Huang Zu came from a famous family and was able to control the strong clan of Jiangxia, if he sent others to guard this place, he would have to support him from the local clan.

Obviously, this is trying to win Su Fei over to stand on his side.

The difference between Su Fei and Huang Zu is that he has a relatively soft personality and is easier to talk to, or he is more able to see the situation clearly.

As Huang Zu's one-man show, Su Fei always felt that it would be difficult for a long time to go with such a situation.

Huang Zu was too domineering, and Su Fei was under great pressure to follow Huang Zu.

He expected that the Liu family and his son would rectify Jiangxia County sooner or later, but he did not expect that the rectification would come so quickly.

At present, assisting Liu Qi has the greatest benefit to Su Fei - it is that it can further consolidate the status of the Su clan in Jiangxia. With Liu Qi's recognition, the Su clan's future development in Jingzhou is also expected.

The development of the clan ultimately transcends the friendship between friends.

Su Fei stood on Liu Qi's side.

He accepted Liu Qi's appointment and continued to assist the next Jiangxia County Magistrate as the Jiangxia Chief Commander.

As for the candidate for the next county magistrate of Jiangxia County... Liu Qi did not plan to make a decision through Liu Biao anymore, he planned to appoint him himself.

He is now in charge of leading the troops from all over the province to fight against the enemies coming from all directions. It is natural that he can temporarily appoint his county magistrates during wartime...

As for the war... he will talk to Liu Biao again.

For some things, the son must be the one who should make the decision.

As for the candidate for the new county magistrate of Jiangxia County...

"Let me be the governor of Jiangxia?" Wei Yan stared at Liu Qi in surprise, his eyes filled with incredible expression.

Liu Qi looked at him with a smile: "What? You don't want to?"

"It's not that I don't want to... but, the last official is young and not from a prominent family, how can I be a noble man of two thousand stones?"

Liu Qi shook his head and said, "If you have to change your thoughts, who would say that a noble person with two thousand stones must be born into a noble family to be worthy of?"

Wei Yan's expression was a little uncomfortable. He seemed to be quite moved at this moment, but at the same time, his face was filled with nervousness and uneasiness.

Liu Qi looked at Wei Yan seriously and said, "Of course, the head of a county and the senior official of two thousand stones are not as easy as I imagined. Not only do you have to govern politics, army, and border defense, but most importantly, you have to fight with local tyrants. These people are the most difficult to deal with. You can't be too tough on them, because managing a county requires their support for many times, but at the same time you can't be too weak, otherwise you will be turned against the enemy and lose your voice in the county..."

Speaking of this, Liu Qi looked forward and said, "Wen Chang, these two thousand stones look at the glory, but in fact they are in crisis step by step. Wen Zhongye took over the burden of Hanzhong. Do you dare to take over the burden of Jiangxia?"

Wei Yan clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said, "Dare you!"

"Okay, this is our good man in Jingchu."

Liu Qi looked forward and said, "In Jiangxia's local area, I will let Su Fei serve as the chief lieutenant to assist you, and leave Fa Zheng as the county magistrate to help you... Yangzhan Cen Lang and Baili Xi are also here, I will leave half of the soldiers of the Nanman Camp for you to drive, how about?"

Wei Yan immediately said: "The envoy trusts Yu so much, and Wei Yan should do his best to help the envoy take charge of Jiangxia. In the future, if there is an enemy coming from the east of Jiangxia, Wei Yan is willing to swallow it for the envoy."

"Okay, since that's the case, I'll leave Xiling City to you. I'll get off to Nanyang County soon."

Wei Yan was shocked when he heard that Liu Qi was about to leave.

"Envoy, although Yuan Shu was defeated last night, he has not retreated yet. If he dispatched troops and reorganized his troops and attacked Xiling, the outcome is still unknown. It is not a good time for the envoy to leave at this time."

Liu Qi nodded and said, "You are right, but Jingzhou is attacked by strong enemies from all over the world. I can't just take care of Yuan Shu all the way. However, I have already had a general idea of ​​how to deal with Yuan Shu. Just keep the Xiling City in a cautious manner. It's okay to leave the rest of the matter to me."

Wei Yan has been following Liu Qi for many years. After hearing what he said, he guessed that his envoy had a way to completely retreat Yuan Shu, so he didn't ask much and then turned around and left.

After Wei Yan left, Liu Qi sent someone to summon Fa Zheng and Xu Shu to his side.

Liu Qi told him about appointing Fa Zheng as the governor of Jiangxia County. Fa Zheng couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing this.

"Fa and Wei Wenchang are both outsiders. Now they have suddenly become the county magistrate and county magistrate in Jiangxia... Alas, it's really a difficult situation."

Liu Qi raised his eyebrows gently: "If Xiaozhi cannot bear the great responsibility, you might as well let Yuanzhi take over you."

Fa Zheng hurriedly said, "No need, no, even if Fa is unbearable, he is trusted by the envoy, and he must be competent for this position. He said that he must cure Jiangxia's substitute envoy."

Liu Qi nodded with satisfaction: "The governance of Jiangxia is a problem at the moment, but there is no need to worry. The most urgent thing is to find a way to retreat Yuan Shu's army. Yuan Shu's warship has been chiseled and has been broken by me for a while. It will not be violated again in a short time, but after a long time, it is inevitable that it will come back. We need to think of good strategies."

After saying that, Liu Qi looked at Xu Fu and Fa Zheng and said, "The six-way troops, Niu Fu's journey, I have sent Yang Song as an envoy to talk about it. What should I do to decide the remaining five people? Today I need to discuss it with the two of you."

Fa Zheng looked at Xu Fu with a smile and said, "Yuan Zhi had just talked with me about it in detail, and he had a lot of great opinions. How about giving it to the envoy at this moment?"

Xu Fu quickly waved his hand and said, "I dare not, I dare not... Brother Xiaozhi said it."

Liu Qi waved his hand helplessly and said, "You two don't need to be humble to each other. If you have anything to say, it's okay."

After saying that, he looked at Xu Fu and said, "After all, Xiaozhi asked Yuanzhi to say it first. If there is anything, Yuanzhi, you can say it bluntly."

Xu Fu bowed for a long time and said, "Since that's the case, then Fu said frankly."

Then, Xu Fu coughed gently, and then said, "I have been discussing the incidents of the six-way troops and horses these days. I feel that if I fight head-on, my Jingzhou will never be able to win. The most urgent thing is to focus on strategy, disrupt the enemy's rear, or use alliances or gangs, break the two or three-way troops and horses to retreat. We have the opportunity to win."

Liu Qi nodded slowly and said, "Niu Fu has no worries all the way. According to Yuan Zhi's opinion, which other troops can be retreated in the other ways?"

Xu Fu said: "All the way is Liu Yan, all the way is Yuan Shu, and there are still two ways to retreat."

Liu Qijiang looked forward: "Let's talk about Yuan Shu's path first, what method should I use?"
