Liu Qi asked Jia Xu to sit down, and the two began to discuss matters regarding Luocheng.

Liu Qi gave Jia Xu a general account of how Liu Wei sent troops to form a formation in Luocheng, defended it to the death, and fought against him, including Liu Ye and Xu Shu's analysis of Luocheng.

After Jia Xu listened, he remained silent for a long time.

When I was young, I heard him speak slowly: "I dare to ask your lord, when I was in Wancheng in the past, I heard that your lord took in Jia Long, a powerful man in Sichuan, and made him guard Shangyong. Now, your lord has sent troops to Yi."

Zhou, how did Jia Long react?"

Liu Qi briefly told Jia Xu about sending Zhang Yun and Cai Yong to stop Jia Long and Ren Qi respectively.

Only then did Jia Xu suddenly realize.

He squinted his eyes, stroked his beard, and after thinking for a while, he slowly said: "Junhou, regarding the war in Luocheng, Jia has several points that are different from what Junhou thinks. I wonder if Junhou is willing to listen?

"

Liu Qi had been talking to him for so long, so naturally she wanted to listen to his opinion.

"Wen He, please try to speak."

Jia Xu rubbed his palms, stood up, and said seriously: "The wise men under Junhou believe that Liu Su and Junhou are fighting in Luocheng to boost the morale of the three armies and secure Luocheng. This statement is true.

, but according to my opinion, Liu Quan’s real purpose may not be here.”

"Oh?" Liu Qi raised his hand and asked, "May I ask, sir, what do you think Liu Sui meant?"

Jia Xu said seriously: "In my opinion, Liu Quan wants the Lord to know that it is not easy to seize Luocheng... At least it is extremely difficult to rely only on the current military strength of the Lord."

Liu Qi didn't understand what Jia Xu meant when he came over: "I can't break Luocheng, so what can I do?"

Jia Xu said slowly: "If we cannot break Luocheng, you will have to find foreign aid to fight..."

Only then did Liu Qi realize: "The foreign aid refers to... Jia Long and Ren Qi?"

Jia Xu said very calmly: "At least according to me, Liu Suan's purpose should be here."

"But if this happens, won't Liu Quan have more enemies to deal with?"

Jia Xu stretched out two fingers: "Liu Huang has many enemies, but Junhou also has many enemies."

Liu Qi: "..."

"It is difficult to defeat one person, but it is easy to defeat two people. If Jia Long and Junhou are stationed together in Luocheng, Liu Quan will be able to reap the benefits over time. It seems that Liu Quan is quite resourceful."

Liu Qi snorted and said: "Fortunately, I asked Zhang Yun to restrain Jia Long, otherwise it would be really difficult if he really came to Luocheng."

Jia Xu said: "Your Majesty, in fact, in my opinion, your Majesty should let Jia Long come to Luocheng. Not only should he come, but Ren Qi should also come with him."

Liu Qi was shocked.

He looked at Jia Xu in surprise: "Jia Long is here to compete with me for Yizhou. How can I let him come?"

"If you don't let him come, can it be that you have been dividing your troops to stop him, and how long will it take to stop him? It is definitely not the best policy to guard him tightly."

Liu Qi fell silent upon hearing this.

Jia Xu stretched out his hand and pointed at Luocheng in the distance along the night sky at the entrance of the tent: "Luocheng is towering and the terrain is steep. There are 50,000 troops in it. If you don't think about ruthless tactics, when will you be able to capture Luocheng?"

?”

When Liu Qi heard this, he couldn't help but fell silent.

When I was young, I saw him smiling, raising his head and saying, "If Mr. Jia has any plans, please tell me clearly."

…

The next day, four envoys carried Liu Qi's handwritten letters and went to four places respectively.

Two envoys went to Jia Long and Ren Qi respectively and invited them to come to Luocheng together. The three of them merged into one place to attack Liu Wei together.

In addition, two other envoys went to see Zhang Yun and Cai Yong, asking them to come to Luocheng to join their forces at the same time.

…

Jia Long had already sent someone to deliver a letter, proposing to attack Luocheng together with Liu Qi. Now Liu Qi happened to lend him Poxia's donkey and gave him the favor.

The four armies marched toward Luocheng from Bajun and Jianweijun respectively, and soon after, they arrived at Luocheng Pass.

Liu Qi and Jia Long haven't seen each other for a long time. Jia Long has not changed much and still looks like a Confucian general.

As for Ren Qi, the governor of Jianwei County, he has a standard image of a reckless man, with a beard, a tall and strong body, and a heroic face. He looks like a cheerful person.

But in fact, neither of these two people is a light-hearted person. Not only are they deep-minded, but they are also ruthless people.

"Jia Long, the last official, pays homage to the prince!"

"Ren Qi has met General Liu!"

"There is no need to be polite to the two generals. Now with the help of the two generals, we will destroy Luocheng."

Ren Qi laughed loudly and said: "I have heard about General Liu's reputation for a long time, and it is really thunderous to my ears. Even though our Jianwei County is a remote place, I have heard a lot about the deeds of Junhou. Today I heard someone say that Liu Zhenxi

, when I hear someone talk about Liu Zhenxi tomorrow, my old Ren’s ears are going crazy!"

Liu Qi smiled and said: "Mr. Ren is so polite! Come on, let's get the money together, and Liu will take care of you both."

Ren Qi waved his hand and said: "Hey! Don't be in a hurry to eat. We are people from the remote mountains and have never seen strong soldiers. We have heard for a long time that the Jingzhou Army is the strongest army in the world. We have to see what we can say today, right?"

"

After saying that, he looked at Jia Long: "Brother, do you think so?"

Hearing this, Jia Long smiled bitterly and said, "Don't blame me, sir. Brother Ren has this temperament."

"It doesn't matter. Liu likes heroes the most. We are all colleagues. If you want to see Liu's military camp, let's go watch it together."

At that moment, Liu Qi took Jia Long and Ren Qi to watch the military camp.

Ren Qi looked at the soldiers of the Jingzhou Army, but saw that their troops were well-organized, the soldiers were strong and mighty, and their momentum was high. He couldn't help but sigh with emotion. As he looked at it, he praised: "Mighty, really mighty. Ren has lived for decades, and he still never

I have never seen such a strong and powerful master."

Speaking of this, Ren Qi raised his hand to Liu Qi and said: "With the king and these brave men here, Liu Zhang will be defeated within a year. By then, I, a man from Yizhou, will be able to serve the Ming Dynasty. It will be really great."

A blessing."

Liu Qi smiled and waved his hands: "Mr. Ren, you are so complimentary. Liu Qi did not seize Yizhou for private purposes, but actually did it in compliance with the Emperor's decree. He had no choice but to do it. When Yizhou is peaceful, he will write to your majesty, asking him to send wise ministers to preside over the benefits."

Regarding the overall situation of the state, Liu Qi will just return to Jingzhou."

But Ren Qi suddenly knelt down in front of Liu Qi and said, "You can't wait for me. Yizhou has been under the tyranny of Liu Yan and his son for a long time. The people are exhausted and the people's livelihood is withered. Fortunately, the Lord Ming is here. How can he miss it! Ren Qi is willing to

I will serve you as the Lord of Yizhou!"

Jia Long also said: "Long Yi is willing to serve as the Lord of Yizhou."

"You two, please don't do this. This is not the time to discuss this matter yet." Liu Qi stretched out his hand to help Ren Qi up and said to the two of them: "For now, we still need to think about how to break Luocheng. Let's go to the big tent to discuss it first.

how?"

The two men immediately took the order.

…

That night, Jia Long and Ren Qi returned to their camp from Liu Qi's Dazhai.

They did not go to bed immediately, but secretly discussed...

Ren Qi changed his heroic attitude during the day and said seriously: "Brother, I see that Liu Qi has excellent soldiers and brave generals, well-organized troops and horses, and well-equipped equipment. If he breaks through Luocheng and enters Mianzhu, Yizhou will not be able to survive without us."

It’s time to put it to use.”

Jia Long said: "Having said that, we still need to rely on him to destroy Liu Zhang... But the snipe and the clam are fighting for the fisherman's profit, so let's let him be the leader until he fights Liu Wei and the soldiers and horses are exhausted.

, if we attack Liu Qi again, we can get twice the result with half the effort."

"Only with our troops? Is that okay?"
