"Counterattack?"
It seems that these two words are not in Liu Qi's dictionary at all, and when he blurts them out, a hint of confusion flashes through his eyes.
"Right! It's time to counterattack. I'm a good man, how can I be a coward who is bullied by others? We brothers join forces, not only to fight back against those who bully us, but also to make a big achievement in this chaotic world, so that our descendants will be proud of us for generations to come."
At this moment, Liu Qi, after experiencing the cruel truth of the spiritual stimulation just now, has already woken up from his depression, and his anger has actually made him unwilling to continue being a weak and slaughtered lamb.
Liu Feng's grand words were like a spark that suddenly ignited the vast expanse of resentment in Liu Qi's heart.
The cold wind outside the pavilion, from the window gap into the pavilion, wantonly invaded Liu Qi's whole body. At this moment, however, Liu Qi, whose anger was burning fiercely, remained completely unaware.
He suddenly jumped up, his fists clenched tightly, and said angrily: "Ah Feng, you're right. Even a humble man has a moment of anger. I, Liu Qi, am the son of the Governor of Jingzhou, if I endure this humiliation and live on in stealth, how can I face my ancestors in heaven?"
Seeing him so resolute, Liu Feng could finally secretly let out a sigh of relief. The most important part of his entire plan was now accomplished.
However, Liu Qi's generous expression soon turned into a worried look, and he sat down again with a worried face, saying: "But now I have no soldiers or horses in my hands, and I only have 200 troops. With such insignificant strength, I'm afraid..."
Liu Qi's worries are not unreasonable, but in this chaotic world, the most fundamental factor in achieving great things is sometimes not the number of troops and horses on the surface.
Liu Feng burst out laughing and patted his shoulder, saying: "Elder brother, we don't have many troops at the moment, but let's not forget that we still have this late Jingzhou Prefect's young master."
"Me?" Liu Qi was momentarily bewildered and didn't understand.
"Your esteemed father opposed Cao all his life, while that young Liu Zong forcibly took the position of provincial governor as a second son, which was already unjustifiable. Now he is going to surrender your father's foundation to Cao, which is fundamentally a betrayal of your father's will. As for you, Zi De, it naturally follows that you have become the only legitimate heir to the position of Jingzhou governor. If you boldly raise the flag of opposing Cao, how can the anti-Cao scholars from the eight counties of Jing and Xiang not flock to join your army from all directions? At that time, what need is there to worry about having no soldiers or horses?"
This is a beautiful blueprint drawn by Liu Feng for Liu Qi, but in fact, it has another layer of meaning for him.
When Liu Feng first met Pang Tong on the snowy night, he asked for advice on how to untie the dead knot that Liu Bei was facing. The word left by Pang Tong to untie the dead knot was a "qi" character, and later Liu Feng realized that the "qi" character written by Pang Tong referred to Liu Qi.
Liu Biao and Liu Bei had both fraternal ties and a ruler-subject relationship, which means that if Liu Qi was the legitimate heir to the governorship of Jing Province, then the relationship between Liu Bei and Liu Qi would not only be uncle-nephew but also have an additional layer of ruler-subject.
Liu Bei claimed to be benevolent and righteous, but he was so ruthless and cruel to his nephew and "superior" Liu Qi. Not only did he use every means to seize power and territory from him, but also put him under house arrest. Such behavior can be described as unrighteous and inhumane.
If Liu Qi can break away from Liu Bei's control and expose Liu Bei's actions to the world, it will inevitably deal a heavy blow to Liu Bei's reputation for "benevolence and righteousness". Given the fact that Liu Bei seized power in Jiangxia, he would be powerless to counterattack, and Liu Qi would soon gain the moral high ground.
Ancient people had the grand righteousness of killing their relatives, Liu Feng could then use "not ashamed to be foolishly filial to a father like Liu Bei who is unrighteous" as a reason, and openly declare his split with Liu Bei, turning to "support" the righteous Liu Qi.
At that time, although the world would still have some criticisms of Liu Feng's "betrayal" of his father, after all, Liu Feng had a justifiable reason for doing so. The negative impact on his reputation caused by this "betrayal" would naturally be reduced to an insignificant level.
Pang Tong's wisdom was indeed extraordinary, and he could think of such a strange strategy that Liu Feng couldn't even imagine in his dreams. If it weren't for Pang Tong's guidance, Liu Feng would not have realized that his seemingly weak and incompetent brother actually played a crucial role for him.
But Liu Qi suddenly came to his senses: Ah, all along, I have been extremely respectful of Liu Bei, always regarding him as the leader of the anti-Cao coalition. In fact, I am the legitimate heir of Jingzhou, how can I let a guest like Liu Bei usurp my authority?
Having understood this point, Liu Qi's spirit was suddenly greatly lifted, but his worries were not limited to this.
"I admit that what Afeng said is correct, but the fact is that Jiangxia County has been controlled by Liu Xuande. Now I even need to look at his face to find a place to settle down, let alone escape from his control, not to mention openly opposing him."
Liu Qi's concerns this time, Liu Feng couldn't dispel for him. In fact, it was also a difficult problem he faced. However, Liu Feng still had full confidence because Pang Tong had reminded him that the opportunity would soon arrive. Liu Feng had a strong premonition that the opportunity mentioned by Pang Tong might be the solution to the difficulty raised by Liu Qi.
The generous conversation came to an end, and the hall fell silent once again.
In a moment, Liu Feng took a deep breath and said sincerely: "Since my brother has made up his mind to go through thick and thin together, then we should be equally frank. I can tell the truth, elder brother's worries just now, I haven't thought of a solution yet. However, I am absolutely confident that I will find a way, I just want to ask elder brother to believe me."
Sometimes, all sorts of excuses are less effective than a single honest word. Liu Qi's face gradually faded from worry, replaced by a calm and reassuring trust.
Looking into Liu Feng's sincere eyes, Liu Qi nodded slightly: "Of course I believe you. But I still want to ask, have you really made up your mind to break with your father?"
Liu Feng coldly snorted: "The kindness of his adoption, I had already repaid with my life when we fought together at Changban Slope to save Adou. Now he uses such despicable means against his own brother who has shown him kindness, and still allows his subordinates to suspect and pressure me. Foolishly loyal to such an unrighteous and inhumane person, I will sooner or later die without a place to be buried. Rather than this, it's better to take a gamble. I don't believe that my brothers and I joining hands can't create a brighter future."
Liu Feng's determination and ambition deeply infected Liu Qi, at this moment, his weakness and hesitation had dissipated, and what surged on his face was excitement and indignation.
"Alright, since it's come to this, let's put our hearts together as brothers and make a desperate gamble!"
