Xiangyang City, Cishi Mansion.
Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, sat at the top, followed by Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, his aides, his eldest son Liu Qi, and his second son Liu Cong.
Of course, his third son, Liu Jue, was also included.
"Jiangxia is the gateway to Jingzhou. Now that the Huang Ancestor has died and Sun Quan is watching from the side, the morale of Jiangxia will definitely be unstable. The candidate for the Jiangxia Prefecture must be confirmed as soon as possible.”
Liu Biao looked at everyone and finally looked at Cai Mao, saying,""De Gui, tell me what you think.”
Cai Mao stood up and cupped his hands." My lord, the Huang Ancestor is old and muddle-headed. He is guarding an important place in Jiangxia. He is not worthy of such a heavy responsibility. My lord, you can take this opportunity to choose a young, strong, and resourceful general to take the position of Jiangxia prefect.”
Liu Biao sighed and said,"De Gui makes it sound simple, but who should I choose?"”
Hearing Liu Biao's words, everyone fell silent. The position of Jiangxia's prefect was very important. It was the responsibility of resisting Jiangdong.
Although Jingzhou was filled with talents, Liu Biao only had a few generals like Wen Pin.
However, Wen Pin needed to guard Jingbei and defend against the Cao army at Wan City in the north, so he could not be easily mobilized.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Liu Biao suddenly looked at Liu Jue and said,"Jue 'er, do you have any good suggestions?”
Last night, Lady Cai had already told Liu Biao that she wanted Liu Jue to be the prefect of Jiangxia.
Liu Biao was also quite fond of Lady Cai. Coupled with the influence of Cai and Kuai, he had long planned to let Liu Jue inherit his position.
Liu Biao was also quite moved by Lady Cai's suggestion. Letting Liu Jue be the prefect of Jiangxia would be a good way to train him.
In an instant, everyone's gaze fell on Liu Jue.
Liu Biao's youngest son was only eighteen years old. His talent and fame were not significant. What good advice could he have?
Liu Jue was already prepared. He stood up and stepped forward without hesitation. He said loudly,"Father, your son is willing to be the prefect of Jiangxia to help you solve your problems!”
In an instant, everyone present, except Cai Mao, revealed a shocked expression. They had not expected Liu Jue to answer like this.
Liu Qi and Liu Cong were even more surprised. Their eighteen-year-old little brother actually proposed to be the governor of Jiangxia. What was he planning?
The position of Jiangxia's prefect might be highly sought after to others, but to Liu Qi and Liu Cong, it was more of a chicken rib than a chicken rib.
Being the prefect of Jiangxia meant that he was far away from Xiangyang, from Liu Biao, and from the center of power in Jingzhou.
If he went to Jiangxia to be the prefect, he might not even have time to react if something happened to Liu Biao.
Now that Liu Biao was getting old, he might die one day. Now that the vassals were splitting up, the position of Jingzhou Overseer would inevitably be inherited by Liu Biao's son.
Whether it was Liu Qi or Liu Cong, they both had their eyes on the position of Jing Prefecture Overseer. How could they possibly be interested in a mere Jiangxia Prefecture Governor?
In their opinion, Liu Jue's method was simply throwing away a watermelon to pick up sesame seeds.
At this moment, they were even silently muttering in their hearts, hoping that Liu Biao would agree to Liu Jue's request.
Liu Biao asked calmly,""Jiangxia is the eastern gateway to Jingzhou, and Zhou Yu is spying on Chaisang. Huang Zu has been guarding Jiangxia for many years, but he can only be beaten passively. Jue 'er, how can you defend Jiangxia?”
Liu Biao was also struggling in his heart. On one hand, Liu Jue was his son. He was very pleased that he had taken the initiative to defend Jiangxia.
On the other hand, Liu Jue was simply too young. He was only eighteen years old. Facing Sun Quan, who had many soldiers and generals, could he withstand Jiang Xia?
One had to know that Chaisang, which was close to Jiangxia, was guarded by the famous general of Jiangdong, Zhou Yu!
Liu Jue's expression did not change as he said in a clear voice,"Father, don't worry. If Sun Quan comes with the River East, I'll stop him for father! Zhou Yu has tens of thousands of troops. I will swallow them for my father!”
These words were spoken with a heroic spirit that seemed to swallow the world. When everyone present heard this, their expressions changed and they looked at this young Third Young Master in a new light.
Although the children of tigers and leopards have not yet written, they have the spirit of eating cattle!
In a few more years?
Liu Biao was even more excited. His face turned red as he laughed loudly,""Good! Good! Good! He is indeed my son, Liu Jingsheng, to be able to say such words!”
Lady Cai was Cai Mao's sister. What he had to do today was to help his nephew take down the Jiangxia Prefecture.
Cai Mao was happy to see this. If Liu Jue could become Jiangxia's prefect, he did not need to achieve much, as long as he could defend Jiangxia.
When Liu Biao passed away, with the support of Cai and Kuai, the successor of Jingzhou would definitely be Liu Jue.
This was a great thing for both Cai and Kuai.
Seeing Liu Biao so happy, Cai Mao took the opportunity to say,""Congratulations, my lord! The Little Lord was so young, but he was already different from ordinary people! It was really gratifying to celebrate that he had the appearance of a wise master!”
When Liu Qi and Liu Cong heard this, they didn't have much expression on their faces, but they were very unhappy in their hearts. They looked at Liu Jue coldly.
Third brother, oh third brother, I'll let you be smug for a moment. When you lose to Zhou Yu, I'll see how you explain it to father!
In their eyes, Liu Jue, who was only 18 years old, was no match for Zhou Yu.
If Zhou Yu led his troops to attack Jiangxia, Liu Jue could only fail.
Liu Biao nodded with satisfaction. Because of Lady Cai, he valued his youngest son Liu Jue the most. Now that he saw his son had the appearance of a wise master, he was naturally very happy.
"Yidu, what do you think?" Liu Biao asked Kuai Yue.”
Kuai Yue cupped his hands and said," Although the Little Lord is young, he is a young and talented man. As long as he sends a few good generals to assist him, it should not be a problem for him to resist the Eastern Wu."”
Liu Biao stroked his long beard and nodded,""Yidu is right. If Huang Zu can defend Jiangxia, how can my son not be as good as Huang Zu?”
"Qi 'er, Cong' er, do you have any objections?”
Liu Qi hurriedly replied," Father, Third Brother becoming the Jiangxia Prefecture Governor is something that everyone hopes for. I naturally support it!"”
Liu Cong also said,"Third Brother took the initiative to volunteer, so he must have a good plan in mind!" With his third brother guarding Jiangxia, Dongwu would not dare to act rashly. His father would be able to rest easy from now on!”
How could the two of them have any objections? They couldn't wait for Liu Jue to get lost immediately!
Liu Jue listened on from the side and sneered. These two people seemed to be praising him, but in reality, they were praising him to death.
The more he praised them now, the more they would trample on him when he failed in the future!
"What a pity. The two of you are destined to be disappointed!”Liu Jue shook his head slightly, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.
Liu Biao nodded his head and glanced at Liu Qi and Liu Cong indifferently. A hint of disappointment flashed in the depths of his eyes.
Then, Liu Biao said to the crowd," Now, I officially give the order to appoint Liu Jue as the Governor of Jiangxia. He will lead 10,000 elite soldiers and several good generals to Jiangxia to take up his post!”
"Your son accepts the order. I will definitely protect Jiangxia for father!”
When Liu Jue heard this, his heart finally settled down. The position of Jiangxia's prefect was really obtained without any effort!
When he arrived in Jiangxia, he would be like a fish in the sea or an eagle in the sky. It would be a great opportunity for him to show off his skills.
