Chapter 401 The Art of the Emperor
Liu Biao's death made the disaster in Jingzhou worse.

Originally, Liu Biao preferred his eldest son Liu Qi as the heir, but later Mrs. Cai fell in love with Liu Qi's younger brother Liu Cong, and betrothed Cai Mao's daughter to Liu Cong. After Liu Biao became seriously ill, Mrs. Cai wanted Liu Cong to inherit Liu Biao's inheritance Liu Qi was specially transferred to Zhang Ling as the prefect.

After Liu Biao died, Liu Qi went to Xiangyang to express his condolences, but Mrs. Cai refused to accept her. Liu Qi cried and had no choice but to return to Zhangling.

Later, Liu Cong announced that he would inherit Liu Biao's positions as Mu of Jingzhou, General of Zhennan, and Marquis of Chengwu, and sent envoys to visit Liu He. The purpose is self-evident, hoping that Liu He can recognize his status.

At this time, Liu Qi also sent someone to find Liu He, hoping that Liu He could uphold justice for him and support him to succeed to the throne.

Liu Qi thought that Liu He, who has always upheld justice, would definitely help him, but unexpectedly Liu He chose to support Liu Cong, and then persuaded him to keep his own place and hand over the prefect seal of Zhangling. If he lived in Chang'an, he would definitely be able to protect Liu Qi There is no need to worry about food and clothing. If Liu Qi wants to be an official, then he can also appoint an official for him.

Hearing the envoy's report, Liu Qi felt deeply disappointed. He didn't expect that Liu and that big brother who was so kind and lenient to him at the beginning would become so cold and heartless now, without any sense of justice.

At this time, Liu Bei sent envoys to Zhangling to persuade Liu Qi to surrender.

Liu Qi didn't expect Liu Bei to persuade him to surrender, and immediately shouted: "If it wasn't for Liu Bei, how could I, Liu Qi, be where I am today? It was his sending troops that killed my father and caused the people of Jingzhou to fall into the flames of war. This man He is my sworn enemy, how could I surrender to him?"

But the envoy sighed: "Actually, we don't want Jingzhou to fall into the flames of war, and we also regret the death of your father. However, our original intention is only to target Liu He. Needless to say, let's just talk about you, son. You said it was us." You still have to have today, this is a big mistake, the Cai brothers and sisters are closely related to Liu He, you don’t know this, and the Cai brothers and sisters all support Ling brother as the heir, so, even without us, you still do Not the lord of Jingzhou. On the contrary, my lord feels deep sympathy for the young master and thinks that the lord of Jingzhou should be inherited by the young master, so he sent an official to see the young master. There is only one condition for you to seize the old place of Jingzhou, you only need to agree to form an alliance with our army from now on, and jointly deal with Liu He, I wonder if you are interested?"

After thinking for a while, Liu Qi suddenly said: "Since you have treated me unkindly, then don't blame me for being unrighteous, brother, you forced me to do all of this!"

Later, Liu Qi agreed to Liu Bei's persuasion to surrender, handed over the seal and ribbon of Zhangling Prefect, and welcomed the arrival of Liu Bei's army.

As expected, Liu Bei still treats people with the same enthusiasm as before, and he can't see any conspiracy at all, which makes him more and more convinced that Liu Bei is sincerely complaining about this injustice for him, so he immediately ordered all the [-] sailors and [-] troops under his command Hand it over to Liu Bei to command.

Not long after Liu Qi surrendered to Liu Bei, the news reached Liu He. Of course, Liu He also knew that Liu Qi was complaining about him, but he never changed his mind to support Liu Cong. After hearing Liu Qi's surrender, he let out a deep sigh in his heart.

"Brother Qi, I know you blame me for this matter, but there is nothing you can do about it. First of all, in terms of family relationship, I am a real relative of Cai Shi and Cai Shi, and you are just her stepson. What she wants to introduce How can I object? What's more, Brother Cong has a cowardly personality and is more suitable to be the lord of Jingzhou than you, because only with him can I get Jingzhou without bloodshed. As for you, your personality is too strong. As the lord of Jingzhou, when I want to get him in the future, a big battle will be inevitable. At that time, it will not only hurt the relationship between relatives, but also let the people of Jingzhou fall into the flames of war again. This is the emperor's mind, you want to be the lord of Jingzhou , is it so difficult that you don’t understand this at all?”

Liu He was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said softly to himself: "What's more, it's not that I didn't give you a chance before. I reminded you when we met last time that we must have a good relationship with Mrs. Cai, and it is best to get She supported her and married her niece, but how did you do it? Not only did you not establish a good relationship, but you became increasingly alienated from her. In the end, you insisted on marrying the daughter of a small family and ruined your future. You can blame me Furthermore, although I am a great general, although I am an ally and relative of your father, I cannot forcibly interfere in your internal affairs, so I can do nothing about your affairs. Now you are putting all the responsibility on me On my head, am I not being wronged?"

In fact, Liu He is also very passive now. He once guessed that Liu Bei and Sun Quan would unite after the conspiracy to the north was blocked, but he did not expect that their union would be so fast, and they would quickly recruit Liu Qi. This caused Liu Biao, Liu Cong and his son to lose most of Jingzhou, and now there is only one Nanjun left in the whole Jingzhou, and even Nanjun has lost Jiangling.

"If my movements were slower, they probably would have captured the whole of Jingzhou." Liu He smiled wryly, and ordered troops from all over the country to be dispatched to Nanyang one after another. The vanguard troops have already reached Xinye. As soon as He's order is issued, he will immediately drive to Xiangyang.

However, to Liu He's surprise, Cai's mother and son chose to surrender on their own initiative, because Liu Bei's army assembled and arrived in Yicheng in just two days. Liu Bei, knowing that Liu Bei must hate them deeply, once Xiangyang City is broken, they believe that they will not have any good results.

So the Cai brothers and sisters ordered the generals Wenpin and Wang Wei to guard Xiangyang, but they secretly took Liu Cong, Huang Chengyan, Huang's grandfather and son, etc., and escaped from Xiangyang late at night, and met Liu He's army by chance .

"Hey, son-in-law, Xiangyang is not safe now, so we are going to take refuge in your Chang'an, and Cong'er also decided to hand over Jingzhou Mu's seal and ribbon to you, so that he can live his peaceful life. We all know that, Our ability is not enough to keep it there, so we might as well leave it to you to take care of it, I believe that with your ability, you can definitely keep the entire Jingzhou."

Cai Mao ignored the conflicts between him and Liu He in the past, and he called each other a good son-in-law, calling him so affectionate that people who didn't know thought Liu He was his son-in-law.
