Although Liu Mao was the nominal person in charge of the Yizhou Army, the person who was able to command the five thousand Sichuan Army was actually Jia Long.

Liu Mao is not a military strategy and is smart. He is not a person who can accomplish great things. Liu Qi naturally has to communicate with Jia Long if he has important things.

"Young Master asked me what I had to think about going north to Luoyang. However, the alliance was proposed by Liu Jingzhou. The young master was ordered to go to war. I guess Liu Jingzhou had already told the young master in advance?" Jia Long kicked the ball back.

Liu Qi smiled and said, "Before Qi left, he got Yan Jun's advice, and he humbly asked Mr. Jia. He had defeated Qiang in Xiliang and pacified Ma Xiang in Yizhou. He can be said to have experienced a long battle formation."

The essence of business mutual bragging is to use other people's perspectives to uphold the people in front of you, so that you can achieve your goal without being too artificial.

Jia Long has a noble character and smiled when he heard this.

Compared to Liu Mao, Liu Biao's son in Jingzhou is obviously more rare.

At this time, the few people had already arrived at the main tent of the Yizhou Army. The small tents standing on the spot and the fire stoves built at any distance were quite regular.

Jia Long turned over and dismounted and invited Liu Qi, Huang Zhong and others to visit.

When the Yizhou army, who were transporting the baggage, saw Jia Long and Yan Yan, they all held tribute.

After wandering around the camp for a while, Jia Long said to Liu Qi: "Young Master has just asked about it. Long also thought about it carefully on his way out of Yizhou. At present, the county magistrates of Guandong are fighting with Gong Dong, fighting several times in Luyang and Hanoi, and they have won and lost each other. Although the emperor is quite dangerous in Luoyang, there is no major obstacle at the moment. We send troops north to suppress it with military force and speak with great righteousness. I think Dong and Yuan will not act rashly in consideration of the overall situation, and will not hurt the emperor because of the war. In this way, we don't have to fight with them."

With Jia Long's ability, Liu Qi is naturally able to appreciate the true meaning of this alliance, and this is not doubtful at all.

If the representative of the Yizhou wealthy clan did not have this vision, he would have stopped engaging in the Yizhou wealthy clan circle in the future.

Liu Qi agreed: "If you can follow what Mr. Jia said, it would be best not to fight."

"After that being said, if you don't have to hurry, you may be in a hurry... This time, Liu Yizhou ordered me to lead troops out of Sichuan, and he also valued Jia and the Prime Minister Dong. He had the same friendship as the Qiang tribe. I think of his past feelings, I would not easily attack us."

Liu Qi narrowed his eyes and pondered carefully.

Liu Yan gave this kind of good thing that has increased his reputation to Jia Long, who was suppressing him, because he thought of this relationship between Jia Long and Dong Zhuo?

But the problem is that in Liu Qi's opinion, Dong Zhuo is a person who dares to think, do, and dares to gamble. In less than ten days after entering Beijing, he completed a series of actions such as the abolished emperor, the establishment of a new emperor, and the killing of the empress dowager...

Will people who act quickly and are cruel and ruthless really care about the little friendship with Jia Long?

"The most urgent task is to choose a route for advancement." Jia Long did not notice Liu Qi's doubts and said bluntly: "At present, Yuan Shu has occupied Nanyang County. If we want to go north and ensure that the food and grass are smooth, we still have to pass through Nanyang. I just heard that Yuan Shu is a deceitful person. If we go from this point, we don't know if he will secretly attack my Jingyi coalition army? If so, it will be dangerous."

It seems that Jia Long has done a lot of homework on how to go north.

"We have also discussed this matter. For the sake of the present, I can only go to Luyang in person to meet Yuan Shu, which is awesome."

Jia Long seemed to have never expected that Liu Qi would be so bold.

"Young Master is going to see Yuan Shu?"

"I must go by myself. Don't worry, Mr. Jia has already made a plan to convince Yuan Shu, but I still ask Mr. Jia to command his troops to cooperate with me at that time, so that we can accomplish things."

Jia Long frowned and said, "Is there no other way?"

"If there are other methods, why is this? Yuan Shu cuts hands on our way north. If we don't convince him, our army will not be able to go to Luoyang no matter what. If we go from Shangyong, it would be too delayed."

Jia Long thought carefully for a while, but finally sighed.

Yuan Shu... Yes, for the Jingyi coalition, this person was like a sharp blade hanging on his head, but with the strength of the coalition forces more than 10,000 troops, if he wanted to forcefully remove the sharp blade of the disease, he would only cut off his hand.

I can only do it according to Liu Qi's wishes.

...

That night, Liu Qi did follow Liu Mao’s suggestion and enjoy the soldiers of the two armies outside Zigui City.

The soldiers of the Great Feast must have meat. The two armies combined have more than 10,000 soldiers. The cattle and sheep collected from Zigui City cannot be eaten at all. Even if one person only bites the meat, half of them must bite their tongues.

It is said to be a great feast for the soldiers of the three armies, but in fact, the rewards are only the leaders' lieutenant-level, Sima, Junhou, and Tuncheng... For ordinary soldiers, the biggest discount for this reward is that they can eat a full meal without limit.

These days, eating can be full is a huge reward.

But this does not mean that the soldiers at the bottom will definitely not be able to eat wine and meat.

According to the rules of marching, the army usually only has a great refuel after winning a battle. Because it is a victory, there must be a great reward for the great refuel.

Those with military ranks naturally reward them with goods, but if ordinary soldiers make military achievements, most of the rewards they receive will be wine and meat.

But this reward is quite special. The soldiers of the Jingyi armies have not yet gone north and have no achievements.

Like this, how should we reward it?

Who should you appreciate wine and whose meat? Who should you appreciate it and who should you not?

Sima Yan Yan, another subordinate of Yizhou, offered a method to Liu Mao and Liu Qi...

"The two young men, who are the last generals, will reward the soldiers of the two armies today. Among the three armies, martial arts are the most respected and skill is the best. It is better to let the soldiers of the two sides compete in a row. The winners will be rewarded. One can strengthen the army's power, the other can test the soldiers of the two armies, and the third can help to entertain the atmosphere. I wonder what the two young men think?"

Liu Mao was overjoyed when he heard this. He looked at Liu Qi and said, "My nephew, Sima Yan's words are very reasonable. Why should he do this? What does the nephew think?"

Liu Qi was not very interested in this kind of thing, so he casually said: "Uncle tribe thinks it's OK, then that's OK."

Liu Mao couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "My dear nephew is really easy to talk to. Tonight, you and my uncle and nephew will never return without getting drunk!"

Yan Yan suddenly said again: "But since you are rewarding the army, there is no need to limit the military ranks. If you don't remember your past military merits, you can go on stage by yourself. What do you think?"

Liu Mao couldn't understand the mystery, so he just kept nodding.

Liu Qi seemed to have heard something, and thought about it and looked at Huang Zhong and Wen Pin.

Wen Pin had no expression on his face and just hummed softly.
