Before being the governor of Jingzhou, Liu Biao was in Luoyang City, so he had an understanding of all the affairs of the states in the world.

Liu Yan, the governor of Yizhou, intentionally cut off the ties with the court and sat in a corner to observe the affairs of the world. The people in the court were not blind, and Luoyang's investigation into Yizhou had never relaxed.

After all, it is a Mu Shou who is a party, and every move may involve the political trend of the entire southwest.

Liu Qi wondered in his heart that protecting the king is a matter of gaining fame. Although there will be dangers in war, the subsequent benefits will be considerable, especially those who lead the troops to fight will inevitably win a very good reputation and have a great political future.

It can be said that before the start of Doudizhu, he held a blow-up in his hand.

What is the reason why Liu Yan, the old fox, actually wanted to hand over this explosion to his thorn in his side?

Liu Biao and Liu Qi thought for a while, but they didn't figure out what Liu Yan thought, so they simply ignored it.

After all, it was his own business in Yizhou and he had no relationship with Jingzhou...

"There are two more important things, please let me decide." Yi Ji suddenly showed a look of hesitation.

Liu Biao and Liu Qi and his son are both smart. Judging from Yi Ji's expression, you will know that what Yi Ji wants to say should be Liu Yan's conditions.

Liu Biao hummed: "What conditions did Liu Junlang put forward?"

When Yi Ji saw Liu Biao telling his intention in his words, he admired him: "Liu Yizhou said that this time he sent troops to protect the king, he should imitate the alliance of the princes of Guandong, and establish the longest generation as the leader of the alliance, and take charge of the Liu family's tribes."

"Liu Junlang wants to be the leader?" Liu Biao looked at Yi Ji with a smile.

Liu Yu and Liu Biao are of the same generation, while Liu Yangao and the same generation. If the person with the longest generation is the leader, who else can be left?

Yi Ji Chang smiled awkwardly.

When Liu Biao spoke again, his tone was already a little angry: "Liu Junlang is very unaware of the matter. This strategy to protect the king was set up by the people of Jingchu. The alliance was also the envoys of Jingchu. Now that the great thing has been done, he wants to be the leader and enjoy the success. Isn't that a big mistake?"

When Liu Qi heard this, he couldn't help but remember the situation of the alliance between the Muslims in Kanto... Although Yuan Shao was the leader of the alliance and got a temporary advantage, he was not the final winner.

Although this leader is indeed very valuable, you must know how to make choices and not be too stubborn.

Whoever laughs the most is the best one?

Liu Qi bowed to Liu Biao and advised: "Father, please listen to your child's words. This leader, we should not argue with Jingzhou."

Liu Biao glanced at him, as if he was unwilling to accept it: "You are the initiator of this alliance, but you want to hand over the leader?"

Liu Qi knew that Liu Biao was just angry for a moment and advised: "Father, you have known in your heart that this leader, whether it is Liu Yan or Liu Yu, is more qualified to do it than you, and we can't compete with them."

Liu Biao was in a depressed mood, but he knew that Liu Qi was right.

Indeed, he can't compare with Liu Yan and Liu Yu because those two have their own advantages.

Liu Yu's advantage lies in his identity and achievements... In terms of achievements, the merit of quelling the Juchun Rebellion alone can kill Liu Biao in seconds.

As for his identity, Liu Yu's identity is not only his position as the Grand Sima, but also his origin.

Liu Yan and Liu Biao's ancestor, King Gong of Lu, was a royal family of the Western Han Dynasty. It was a long time and had several changes. The current clans can be found in the Luoyang Zongzheng Mansion, which is quite a bit like a down-and-out royal family... Although they are relatives, their bloodlines are not particularly pure.

But Liu Yu's ancestor was Liu Jiang, the eldest son of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu. He once served as the crown prince and was a good leader.

Liu Yan's advantages lie in his seniority and fame.

Liu Yan, like Liu Biao, was both a famous scholar, but Liu Biao had a criminal record of resigning from his official position and fleeing due to the party and corruption.

When Liu Yan was young, he became a famous scholar Zhu Tian as his teacher. When he was in the Later Party and the Party, he did not choose to fight the eunuchs like Liu Biao, but instead lived in seclusion and protected himself. He spent seven years in seclusion teaching, not only accumulated reputation, but was not implicated.

During the second party and corruption disaster, Liu Yan became a civil servant of Situ Hu Guang and took Hu Guang's free ride. He gilded in Situ's mansion and successfully avoided the second party and corruption disaster.

Liu Yan has been moving left and right in this life, and has been trying to find a way to escape from the home court of the confrontation between the gentry Qingliu and the eunuchs. He has never fallen into the pit once. He can be said to be the "Ninja Turtle" in the Party and Prison Rebellion.

Because of this, his political foundation is cleaner than Liu Biao.

Therefore, no matter from any perspective, among the three Lius, Liu Biao has no possibility of becoming the leader.

At the worst, those two were still state governors, and he was just the governor at present...

"Even so, Liu Junlang cannot be elected as the leader! This guy is definitely not a good person."

Liu Qi laughed when he heard this.

"Of course, according to the child's wishes, the father and Liu Yanxu will be in vain. It is not his own decision for him. The Grand Sima will fight for him. The father will first agree to Liu Yan. When the Grand Sima sends someone to ask in the future, the Grand Sima will not offend him. According to the child's wishes, the two of them will not give in to each other. In the end, it will basically be a drag... We don't admire the reputation of the Xu, we only take the actual."

Liu Biao narrowed his eyes and thought for a while before saying, "My son's words are reasonable and harmonious with the court. He is a little anxious just now. Let's first respond to Liu Yan. After he leaves Sichuan, it will not be too late to make a conclusion."

After saying that, Liu Biao turned to ask Yiji: "What else did Liu Junlang say?"

"Liu Yizhou also said that there are many dangerous roads in the middle of Sichuan, and the road to Guanzhong is blocked, so the transportation of grain is extremely complicated. Please send me to supply his food and fodder."

This time, Liu Biao was not angry, he seemed to have thought of this.

"This old man is really planning to the core."

Liu Biao was self-controlled and could speak swear words and scold Liu Yan as an "old man", which shows his indignation towards Liu Yan.

Yiji said on the side: "I have fought with Liu Yizhou for this matter, but he will never give in."

Liu Qi secretly said that Liu Yan was sure that we must promote this alliance, and of course we would not miss the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

"Father, this matter is still up to date. As the saying goes, Liu Yan's five thousand soldiers will not leave Sichuan, everything will be lost. But once Liu Yan's soldiers leave Xichuan, it will be the rootless Ping..."

Speaking of this, Liu Qi smiled, but he didn't continue to say the following words...

If you use my food from Jingzhou, then my food and fodder will be your lifeline. If I want to cut off your lifeline, can you still be able to get out of Sichuan?

When the Sichuan Army leaves Yizhou, if I really try to pinch your food and grass, do you want to bow to me?

Perhaps in Liu Yan's mind, Liu Biao was a relative of the Han Dynasty, a famous scholar in the Qingliu, or a person who initiated the alliance, so he could not do such a sinister thing...

But he didn't know that Liu Biao had a naughty child.

...

In this way, Liu Yan's extremely excessive request was agreed with Liu Biao.

Then, troops were sent to Zigui to join the alliance.

The Jingzhou Army sent troops this time were Liu Qi, the commander of Xiangyang, Huang Zhong, Sima of another unit, Wenpin of another unit, Kuai Yue of Xiangling, Cai Zun of the army and others.

Because Cai Kuai's family members were accompanied by the army at the same time, the two families also sent one thousand people to accompany each, totaling seven thousand people.
