Three Kingdoms

In the governor's office of Xiangyang City, Yi Jibo, a native of Yi, stepped forward to pay homage to Liu Biao.

Liu Biao forced a smile and motioned for Yi Ji to sit down.

Liu Biao was very disappointed with Liu Pan just now. He originally thought that he was a relative of his. If he had some talents, Liu Biao would not begrudge his position. Even if he could not get the title of general and become a captain with real power, Liu Biao could still do it. Unfortunately, he did not. It occurred to me that a city gate captain had just been appointed, and such a big mistake had been made.

Even though Liu Biao was now the governor, he actually didn't have many manpower at his disposal, so Liu Biao still endured his anger and didn't reprimand Liu Pan too much, letting him go back to the military camp first.

Now it seems that Liu Pan is not a general, so he can only be sent to attack. If it is not possible, he can be sent to Jingnan to guard the prefects for himself.

But Fei Qian cannot continue to send people there. After all, Fei Qian is just a cover. You cannot tell Fei Qian what really needs to be done, because talking to Fei Qian is equivalent to telling all the nobles in Jingxiang? After all, there are some things that can be said but not said, and there are some things that can be said but not done...

It was really helpless to find Yi Ji. After all the calculations, Yi Ji was the only one who could go there. After all, Ji Bo had been an envoy before and was familiar with the roads. The other slick boy Fei Qian probably didn't have any brains. It may still be impossible to compete, so the only choice is to let Yi Ji go.

"Uncle Ji has been working hard recently." Liu Biao calmed down and smiled at Yi Ji. During this period of time, from going to the countryside to focus on grassroots construction to focusing on health promotion in the city, Yiji did do a lot of trivial things, and it was really hard work.

Yi Ji cupped his hands and said, "For the great cause of Ming Gong, Ji is very happy." Yi Ji has followed Liu Biao very early, and is the person who has followed Liu Biao the longest apart from Liu's own relatives. , naturally he also knows Liu Biao’s habit. Compliments for your hard work are mostly just polite words, and must not be taken seriously...

Sure enough, after Liu Biao said a few polite words, he stopped talking. Instead, he changed the subject and asked: "Uncle Ji, Ziyuan is on an envoy, what do you think?"

Yi Ji said: "Ming Gong must have a deep meaning for this. I'm sorry for Ji's stupidity and inability to judge it." Yi Ji knew that according to Liu Biao's habit, this was not really asking him what he thought, but Liu Biao starting a conversation and saying what he thought. To express my opinion.

Sure enough, Liu Biao smiled and said: "Now that Dong Zhuo has invaded the government and tyrannized the country, the scholars are angry and the people's resentment is increasing. He has defeated the rebels and shocked the world. This is to help the country. It is a major event for the country. One man should work hard to support the whole state." We must work together to eradicate the traitors. However, Jingxiang has been damaged by wars for a long time, and the four counties in Jingnan have each pursued their own selfish desires and committed forced evictions. This is actually harming the country, harming the people, and humiliating the royal family. Therefore, I want to divide our troops. , to return to the orthodoxy, to participate in the grand event again, and to fight against Dong's traitors together."

"The Queen of Nanyang, General Yuan Jiu, had some estrangement in the past, but there was no deep grudge. In times of sincerity, we couldn't bear to restrain each other, so we sent envoys to form an alliance with each other. I also heard that Yuan Benchu, the governor of Bohai, used to scold thieves with his sword. Hanging on the east gate of the festival, the heroism is unique and unique. My heart yearns for it, so I want to make friends. This is the expression of my heart."

"Ming Gong's ambition is enough to make the world admire him." Yi Ji was infected by Liu Biao's impassioned attitude and said solemnly.

Liu Biao waved his hand and said: "Uncle Ji is overly praised. Although Ziyuan is on an envoy this time, it is all right, but he is afraid that he is too young and may be rough, so he wants to send you to assist him. I wonder what Ji Bo wants?"

It turns out that Liu Biao sent Fei Qian as an envoy just by the way, so he arranged for Liu Pan to check and balance. In this way, Fei Qian was in charge of civil affairs and the staff, and Liu Pan was in charge of the tiger talisman and armor. Moreover, Liu Pan was junior and served as deputy. It was just right and he could do something under the guise of Fei Qian, but he didn't expect that Liu Pan failed to understand Liu Biao's good intentions and made such a careless mistake. Fei Qian caught him and drove him back.

Now it is a bit embarrassing to send Yi Ji again. After all, Yi Ji is also an old man who follows him. Not to mention being assigned temporary tasks, but also having to submit to Fei Qian is a bit inappropriate. However, Yi Ji cannot be allowed to go up and deprive Fei Qian of his position as envoy. That way It also seemed like he didn't take Fei Qian seriously. Although Fei Qian did not hold an official position now, after all, this kid had the Pang and Huang families behind him, so it would not be good if the fight was too tense.

Therefore, we can only do ideological work for Tong Yiji, let him know the importance of this mission, and don't worry about his personal position for the time being. That's why Liu Biao said those sonorous words of concern for the country and the people.

Yi Ji is also a smart man, and he immediately said: "As a pioneer for the Ming Dynasty, I will follow you all the way. Please be at ease and decide that Zuo Ziyuan will make this trip!"

Liu Biao finally let go of his worries and solemnly handed the two letters he had retrieved from Liu Pan into Yi Ji's hands, saying, "Now that Uncle Ji is gone, we can look for an opportunity to hand these letters over to Yuan Jiuji and Yuan Benchu." , be very careful and don’t make any mistakes!”

Yi Ji held the letter and looked at it. One of them was Yuan, the governor of Bohai, and the other was general Yuan. His heart moved slightly. It seemed that Liu Biao's trip might not be what he said on the surface. Perhaps more importantly, these two letters were the reason. , and then thought about the tone of Liu Biao's words and the word "seeking opportunity" in his words, most likely he meant to do this without telling Fei Qian...

Thinking of this, Yi Ji understood it somewhat, so he put the letter in his arms, put it away properly, and then said: "I will submit it in secret, please forgive me."

"Uncle Lao Ji, if this comes true and Jingnan is pacified, you will have great achievements!" It is better to be a smart person, who can understand without saying too much. Of course, letting Yi Ji do things must be sweetened. After all, Yi Ji is also an old man who has been with him for a long time. Therefore, Liu Biao also said that this time is very important, and Yi Ji will also be recorded in the credit book for pacifying Jingnan. One stroke.

Yi Ji came out of the governor's house and sat on the carriage. He was going to go home and tidy up a little, and then set off immediately to catch up with Fei Qian and his party.

but……

The carriage was swaying, and Yiji's heart was still swaying.

Liu Biao was so solemn about the matter, so these two letters must be of great importance, but he also obviously wanted Yi Ji to avoid Fei Qian's delivery, which shows that the governor did not want Fei Qian to know about this matter, so what exactly was it that Fei Qian was not allowed to know about? ?

There is nothing wrong with making friends with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. After all, the Yuan family is a representative of the gentry. Although Liu Biao is a clan member of the Han Dynasty, it does not mean that Han clan clan members cannot interact with the gentry, right? But why do it in secret?

Or think about it from another angle. Liu Biao wants to conquer Jingnan, so it is natural that he should be on good terms with Yuan Shu in Nanyang. Otherwise, it would be difficult to deal with being attacked from both sides. But if he were to stand in Yuan Shu's position, how could he believe that Liu Biao had this? What about sincerity?

Yi Ji rolled his eyes, thought of a possibility, and couldn't help but frown...
