Ten miles away from Guiyang City, Zhao Fan personally led his troops to greet him. He was secretly shocked when he saw that Liu Qi only led 500 troops.
Liu Qi dismounted at the Changting Pavilion. Zhao Fan stepped forward and saluted: "I heard that the general led Jingzhou and resisted the traitor Cao Cao. Guiyang is far away. I didn't have time to congratulate you. I am very ashamed. Zhao Fan was deeply attached to Liu Mu and guarded the territory. He was occasionally hurt by rumors. I feel very uneasy, so please take a closer look."
Seeing Zhao Fan's attitude, Liu Qi felt determined. He stepped forward to help him up and said with a smile: "The Han Dynasty is declining and traitorous officials have stolen their lives. We still need to work together to destroy the crazy bandits and achieve unparalleled achievements. The Ming Dynasty has achieved great success." It is enough to go out to the frontier and remember the love of my father and the righteousness of the king and his ministers!"
After resting under the pavilion for a while, Zhao Fan introduced the officials to meet each other. Half an hour later, he went to the city. Zhao Fan had prepared a chariot and a tent, but Liu Bei refused to ride and still mounted his horse to accompany the generals.
Although his buttocks were completely numb, Liu Qi had to grit his teeth and support himself. Since he wanted to conquer the world, he could not appear weak and delicate.
God is the lord of Jingzhou and a nobleman of the Han Dynasty, so he must set an example. The country comes from the horse, and the carriage and sedan chair are for the ladies.
When everyone entered the city, Zhao Fan took Liu Qi into the government office. The guards entertained him outside the government office, accompanied by Gan Ning and Huang Zhong.
After the ceremony, a banquet was held, and Zhao Fan reported in detail the people's conditions in Guiyang. Although Guiyang's taxation was not as good as that of Changsha, it could ensure self-sufficiency.
To the south of Guiyang is the Hundred Thousand Mountains, where bandits and mountaineers are mixed in, often plundering the people. Guiyang's 30,000 soldiers and horses are also distributed everywhere, guarding dangerous points, and there are only 5,000 defenders in the city.
When he was half drunk, Zhao Fan suddenly clapped his hands gently. Hearing a burst of drum music, he saw a group of dancing girls entering gracefully.
These women are all outstanding in appearance and enchanting. They are dressed in light gauze and appear to be looming. Especially the leader of the dance is full of charm and charm, which seems to be able to win people's hearts.
Liu Qi quietly admired it. As expected, the expressions of these dancers were occasionally similar to Du Ling'er, especially the one in front, and even the eyebrows were somewhat similar.
Liu Qi secretly sighed in his heart. If he hadn't accepted Zhao Ling'er first, today's Indian-style dance might have made him addicted. Zhao Fan's dancer team was indeed well-deserved.
Zhao Fan observed secretly from the side and saw that although Liu Qi was immersed in it, his eyes were very clear, unlike other officials who showed confusion.
I couldn't help but secretly sigh in my heart, as expected, a hero comes from a young age, and Liu Qi will definitely be the hero!
At the end of the song, Zhao Fan signaled the dancer to step back and said with a smile: "The general traveled far and wide and worked hard all the way. Do you need the dancer to accompany you tonight?"
Liu Qi waved his hand and said: "That's not necessary. I have been traveling for several days and I am already tired. I will recharge my batteries and we will discuss important matters tomorrow."
Not to mention that her body was already weak, but the dancer she was attracted to was probably Zhao Fan's sister-in-law.
If you want to do what Cao Cao did, you can't do it without Dianwei to protect you!
Zhao Fan quickly complained and sent Liu Qi and his entourage to the Guanyi Station to rest. When they returned to the government office, it was already time to turn on the lamp.
I saw two generals waiting, it was Chen Ying and Bao Long. They stroked their beards and said with a smile: "Liu Qi has become a blockbuster. Surely he is not a thing in the pool. He is not emotional when he sees the dancing girl. He is not close to women. He is bolder than others. He will definitely do it." A generation of heroes."
Chen Ying cupped his fists and said: "The more people like this, the deeper the city. Liu Qi's intentions are unpredictable when he comes here. The Ming government needs to be careful to guard against it."
Bao Long also hummed: "I think Liu Qi must have come to take Guiyang. How can a sick and weak boy be allowed to give orders in Guiyang? I need to learn his skills."
Zhao Fan said to the two of them: "I received great kindness from Liu Mu and was able to gain a foothold in the south of Jingzhou. Now Liu Qi leads Jingzhou, which is justified. I saw him today. He has great ambitions. He can protect Jingzhou and resist Cao Cao's 300,000 troops first. Also, in ten months, he defeated the Dongting Water Bandits and revived the Han Dynasty. He must be this person. I am his master, why should I worry about Cao Cao?"
Chen Yingyan said: "Liu Qi is just relying on his father's name. The Ming Dynasty doesn't know how strong he is. It's better to test it out tomorrow. If he can help, he will help. If it's just a false name, why not kill him at the table and send his head to Xuchang." , the Ming Dynasty will definitely build extraordinary achievements."
Zhao Fan sternly scolded: "How can I have second thoughts about Liu Mu? You can't mess around, lest it harm you."
Seeing Zhao Fan walking away, Chen Yingying said to Bao Long: "Although the prefect expressed his loyalty, he colluded with Cao Cao after all. I think this matter will not be saved. When he takes charge of the army, he will be held accountable for this matter. Neither you nor I can escape the involvement." .”
"Prefect Zhao is indecisive. I think it will be difficult to achieve anything by following him. Why don't we find another way?"
Bao Long was also worried about this matter. When Cao Cao sent people to Guiyang, he was the first to receive him. Cao Cao promised him the post of General Zhennan, a position comparable to that of Jiuqing. From then on, he would get rid of the name of Orion and honor his ancestors. What could Liu Qi give him?
The two met and returned to Chen Ying's home. Chen Ying said: "They will hold a banquet in the house to discuss matters in the future. You and others will ambush 200 swordsmen and axes outside. Let me test Liu Qi's strength. I only need to kill one of the guards and take advantage of it." There was a chaos at the table, so they rushed in and took advantage of the chaos to kill Liu Qi in the name of protecting Governor Zhao."
Bao Long clenched his fist and said: "This plan is very clever. As long as Liu Qi's head falls to the ground, Governor Zhao will have no choice but to surrender to Cao Cao together with you and me. Cao Cao will send his troops south again, and we will be the first to capture Jingzhou."
Chen Ying sneered and said: "Liu Qi only led a mere five hundred troops into the city. It seems that he does not take Guiyang Shuangbi in his eyes. Without further ado, he will be made to pay the price tomorrow."
The two discussed it carefully, and Chen Ying rested his weapons at home, while Bao Long returned to the camp to select two hundred confidants and prepare for a big fight.
Liu Qi returned to the post, washed up and prepared to rest. Gan Ning came to visit him again and said: "When I entered the city today, I saw a man at the top of the city who was quite hostile, with murderous intent in his eyes. We will discuss matters tomorrow, and the general needs to be careful in dealing with them." .”
Liu Qi chuckled and said: "How can Zhao Fan succeed with two hunters as generals? If he sincerely submits, I can forget the blame. If he dares to hold a Hongmen banquet tomorrow, he will regret it."
Gan Ning said: "In this case, the general will lead the guards to follow him, just in case."
Liu Qi waved his hand and said: "I came this time with the intention of conquering people with virtue and not with oppression with swords. Chen Ying and Bao Long are just ordinary men. If the situation changes during the banquet, we only need to take action to subdue these two people." , then Zhao Fan has nothing to worry about. You and Han Sheng are more than capable."
Gan Ning smiled solemnly: "Since the general has plotted against Zhao Fan, who is just a young general, why should Gan be afraid? If the turtle son dares to come to seek death, we will help them."
After Gan Ning retreated, Liu Qi suddenly thought of Liu Bei who failed to leap over Tanxi, and sneered in his heart. They were far worse than Cai Mao.
According to the secret letter sent by Zhao Ling'er a few days ago, Zhao Fan has no intention of rebellion, and is grateful for Liu Biao's appointment, so he is determined to change his past.
This is also in line with his historical performance. After many judgments, Liu Qi dared to enter Guiyang City with great arrogance.
Zhao Fan sincerely surrendered, but he was worried that he could not find an excuse to question Cao Cao. If Chen Ying or Bao Long were still hostile and wanted to hold a Hongmen Banquet, it would be their own fault.
Although Gan Ning is slightly inferior to Zhao Yun, he is still the top general of the Three Kingdoms, and with the veteran Huang Zhong here, how big a wave can the two Orions make?
