Faced with Gan Ning's question, Kuai Yue sighed.

"It's not that long, it's just recently, the general trend, the people's hearts, we really can't have the slightest hesitation in our hearts, the struggle for power, the struggle for the country, how can we be controlled by mortals? I can only say that we have to think about the family. ”

Gan Ning took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and nodded.

"Why am I not here for this? That's it, that's it, how can I cooperate with you? Also, how to solve Sun Fu and Sun Hui, as well as Yi Zhi? Did you send someone to contact you too? ”

"Sun Fu and Sun Wei are difficult to instigate, they have an enmity with Wei Tianzi, and they don't have a grudge against Liu Zhang like Xingba, under all kinds of worries, it is difficult to make the right choice with Xingba.

Yi is a fellow villager of Liu Yuanjun, and he has a very close relationship with Liu Yuanjun, so there is nothing we can do about him, but there is no need to worry, although they have the right to serve as soldiers in name, in fact they are not. ”

Kuai Yue's face was full of confidence.

Gan Ning also understood where Kuai Yue's confidence came from.

"Jiangling's army, how much can Kuai Jun support?"

"Naturally, it can easily deal with Sun Wei and Sun Fu, not to mention the nationality of Yi, and the combination of these three people and nationality cannot reverse the situation."

"That's good."

Gan Ning nodded, did not continue to ask about this kind of thing, but continued to discuss the details of the operation with Kuai Yue.

The action will probably be launched when Liu Biao dies.

The purpose is to let Liu Cong inherit Liu Biao's position and sit on the throne of the lord of Jingzhou.

All this is best started before the Wei army launches a full-scale offensive, and if it starts before that, it will be possible to manipulate Liu Cong to make decisions that are in their interests.

And after Liu Cong ascended the throne, Gan Ning still had an important mission.

Kuai Yue hoped that Gan Ning could lead the naval army into Yiling to resist the reinforcements of Liu Zhang's troops who were marching towards Jingzhou.

In the whole plan, Liu Zhang's army is a special existence, and it is best not to let them enter Jingzhou, so as not to cause trouble.

After Liu Zhang received Liu Biao's request, he discussed with his subordinates.

Wu Yi and Wu Ban resolutely supported Liu Biao's idea, and proposed that Wu Ban personally lead the army down the river and go to Jiangling to assist Liu Biao.

As a result, Liu Zhang sent Wu Ban to lead 15,000 men from both land and water armies to march in the direction of Jiangling to join Liu Biao's army to assist Liu Biao in resisting Guo Peng.

It is clear that the plan to assist Liu Biao in his fight against Guo Peng is already underway.

Liu Zhang's army has already arrived in Ba County, and it will be a month at most to reach Jiangling, and this time is the most important period for Kuai Yue and Gan Ning, and Liu Zhang's army must not be allowed to come over to stir up the situation.

Gan Ning nodded.

No matter what his thoughts or purpose, he is willing to compete with Liu Zhang.

Anyway, he is already a betrayer, are you still afraid of fighting his old club again?

Besides, if he can't win the merit of Wei Tianzi with this, will the powerful Wei Tianzi really accept him?

Some things depend on strength, he is a lost dog, so he really has the ability to bargain with Wei Tianzi?

Gan Ning silently made up his mind, this time, he must not drop the chain again.

Kuai Yue and Gan Ning have already discussed the details of the operation, and Liu Biao's side really can't hold on.

On April 23 of the first year of Yande, Liu Biao's spirit suddenly became better, his face was ruddy, and he could even sit up and eat a bowl of porridge, so Liu Biao hurriedly asked people to call Liu Qi.

Liu Biao had already realized that his limit was approaching, so he hurriedly called Liu Qi to his side, and called Gan Ning, his second grandson and the four of them to make the final arrangements.

"After my death, you should not mourn for the time being, but immediately lead troops to control the city of Gangneung, the city gates, the main roads, the official offices, and the treasury must be guarded by troops, and all the communication arteries outside the city must be guarded by troops, and no one is allowed to come and go until my son ascends the throne.

Especially the Kuai family, as well as Cai Mao in Xiangyang, must be strictly monitored, my young son Cong and my wife Cai, you have to control it even more, and you have to send someone to watch it.

With them as hostages, the Cai family did not dare to act rashly, and then, after notifying Jiangxia Huang Zu, he would lead troops to Jiangling, and as soon as Huang Zu arrived, he could lift the blockade of Jiangling and mourn to the outside world, understand? ”

Liu Biao took Liu Qi's hand and looked at Gan Ning and the other four.

The four of Gan Ning burst into tears.

"Understood."

Liu Qi burst into tears, knelt on the ground and held Liu Biao's hand with both hands: "Father, you are in good health, why do you have to explain this kind of thing in advance?" ”

"What is the body of the Father, the Father himself knows."

Liu Biao's eyes were very soft, and he reached out and stroked Liu Qi's face: "My son, my father can't stand you, I can't leave you a stable country, after my father's death, Yifu Jun, General Gan and the two generals Sun are your arm help, and the army of Jiangling City is the foundation of your life."

At any time, you can't relax your grasp of the army, Liu Zhang can come to help, but you can't let them occupy the magpie's nest, you have to guard against them, and control their military food supplies, Huang Zu can be used as a helper, but Huang Zu is a lack of consideration, and he can't entrust him with big things.

Kuai Yue Cai Mao is too selfish, there is a suspicion of collaborating with the enemy, can not be trusted, Huang Zhongwen hired Wang Wei Huo Jun and others with ill intentions, there is also a suspicion of collaborating with the enemy, can not be reused, although Fu Xun is a native of the north, but he has always been close to the Kuai family, and can not be trusted. ”

Liu Qi's eyes were hazy with tears, and he was speechless for this Jingzhou, who was suspected of collaborating with the enemy.

It seems that Liu Biao also feels that the Jingzhou he left behind is a dangerous Jingzhou, and he is really a little embarrassed, so he can't continue, so he can only look at the four of Gan Ning.

"After I die, I will entrust the three generals and Ji Bo for everything."

"Yes."

The four of Gan Ning knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Liu Biao.

Liu Biao complained in his heart, handed over the seal of the king of Chu and the seal of Jingzhou Mu to the Yi nationality, and instructed him to take charge of it on his behalf, and when Liu Qi ascended the throne, he handed over these things to Liu Qi, and then asked Liu Qi and Gan Ning to prepare for the throne.

After making arrangements, Liu Biao felt a little sleepy, so he broke everyone away and lay on the bed and fell asleep.

This sleep, Liu Biao never woke up.

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Biao died suddenly at the age of 60.

He happened to live a Jiazi, and in this era of white bones, it can be said that he has not lived a long life.

It is not unfortunate to die before the chaos, to die before the unpredictable future comes.

Liu Qi did not leave Liu Biao's Chu Palace, and at the suggestion of Yi, he rested in the side room, ready to serve Liu Biao at any time.

Gan Ning and the second grandson also have an agreement with the Yi nationality, Gan Ning is in charge of Jiangling City, Sun Wei is in charge of the infantry army camp outside the city, Sun Fu is in charge of the Jiangbian Navy Battalion, and the Yi nationality is in charge of the Chu Wangfu, and the four of them work together to block Jiangling City by land and water, and send news to Huang Zu.

It seems that the mechanism left by Liu Biao is working perfectly and there will be no problems.

However, this does not seem to be the case.

That night, Liu Qi was worried and didn't sleep well, and didn't fall asleep until the second half of the night, feeling that he hadn't slept for a long time, but was suddenly awakened by a burst of crying.

Liu Qi woke up in a daze and pushed open the door of the room in a daze.

"Childe, are you awake?"

A man who looked like an officer was guarding the door with several Jingzhou soldiers in full armor, with a white cloth towel tied to his head, and smiled when he saw that Liu Qi was awake.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu is in the palace to take care of the aftermath for the first king, and he told the humble duty that the prince is awake and can go to the mourning hall immediately."
