    The court meeting in Jingzhou was actually not as formal as those held by the imperial court. It was just a gathering for civil servants and generals in Jingzhou to discuss important matters.

    However, today, under Zhou Yu's control, it was very grand, and even the ministers in Jingzhou felt a little surprised.

    Those who didn¡¯t know thought something big had happened, and quickly grabbed other colleagues to ask.

    But except for a few people who got the news in advance, everyone else knew nothing about it.

    What is even more puzzling is that Governor Zhou Yu, who is always the first to arrive, has not arrived yet.

    Normally, Sun Quan would be invited when everyone is here. Now that Zhou Yu is not here and Sun Quan has not come, all the ministers have to wait in the palace.

    At this time, Bu Zhi, who was instructed by Zhou Yu, suddenly said: "Hey, why is the governor not here yet? Liu Yizhou sent an envoy to see him yesterday.

    The Governor promised to meet him at the meeting today. Now they have arrived, but the Governor is not here. It is really rude to keep him waiting for a long time.  "

    In fact, the news of the arrival of Yiji yesterday had already spread throughout Jiangling. The ministers had long been aware of it, but they just couldn't take the initiative to ask.

    Now that Bu Zhi has brought it up, someone immediately said: "What Brother Zishan said makes sense.

    No matter what, we have no grudges in our dealings with Yizhou, and we have no grudges recently.  If the other party sends an envoy here this time, if it is rude, it will bring disgrace to the faces of everyone in Jingzhou.

    Although the Governor is not here, you can invite the envoy up for the time being. It is not considered rude and disrespectful!  "

    After hearing what the man said, everyone nodded in agreement.

    Seeing this, Bu Zhi had no choice but to do as he was told and went to the side hall in person to invite Yi Ji in.

    "Mr. Ji Bo, my lord and the governor suddenly have something important to do. I'm afraid it will be late. In order to avoid being left out in the cold, I would like to ask you to have a chat with me first. Don't be offended, Mr. Wanwang!"

    Yi Ji immediately returned the greeting and said, "Brother Zishan, you're welcome. I've long heard that there are many famous people and generals in Jingzhou.

    "I have never had the opportunity to meet him before, but today I have the opportunity, so I can't be surprised."  "

    Yi Ji¡¯s words were very appropriate, and everyone on the scene nodded with satisfaction.

    At this time, Gu Yong spoke first: "Su asked Mr. Ji Bo his name, but I don't know the reason for this visit?"

    ¡°Yesterday I didn¡¯t say anything because it was kept secret, but today everyone is here and it is a formal occasion, so there is no reason to continue to hide it.

    So, Yi Ji said directly: "I heard that Liu Ke's army is attacking Jingzhou. Its momentum is huge and unstoppable.

    Jingzhou has successively lost Wancheng, Xiangyang and other cities and counties. My king has always been benevolent and righteous. Seeing that Jingzhou is in trouble, he specially ordered me to come down to see if there is anyone who can help.  "

    Hearing what Yi Ji said was so high-sounding, Gu Yong didn't believe it.

    He said with a smile: "We appreciate Liu Yizhou's kindness. It's just that Jingzhou has a vast territory and strong military.

    "I was caught off guard the day before yesterday. Now my master is going to lead an army to fight back against Liu Ke, and he will be driven out of Jingzhou soon!"  "

    "Haha, Yuan Tan, Jingzhou is in a situation, you know it and I know it, everyone in the world knows it, so why should we hide it from each other?

    Although Jingzhou has seven counties, Liu Ke has already obtained half of the three richest counties of Nanyang, Nanjun and Jiangxia.

    If you are sure of winning in this way, you are really deceiving yourself and others.

    " In this case, my trip here will be meaningless. I can return after paying homage to Governor Sun later."  "

    At this time, Zhang Hong said: "Mr. Ji Bo, there is no need to leave in such a hurry. Liu Yizhou can help me in Jingzhou's crisis.

    It is indeed worthy of his benevolence and righteousness.  It's just that he had just been defeated at Dingjun Mountain and lost Hanzhong, and now he was blocked in Jiange by Huang Zhong's army.

    Thinking about it, we are already stretched thin, so what can we do to help Jingzhou?  "

    Yi Ji smiled when he heard this: "Although my lord Hanzhong was defeated, he was not damaged at all. Yizhou is thousands of miles of fertile land, the country is rich and the people are prosperous, and the army and horses are strong.

    Besides, if tiger and wolf generals like Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Wei Yan join forces with the powerful generals in Jingzhou, will they still be afraid of Liu Ke?  "

    What Yi Ji said made everyone present couldn't help but nod.

    " Then Liu Ke is indeed powerful. Whether it is Cao Cao, Liu Bei or Sun Quan, any force facing him alone will definitely not end well.

    But if the two sides can join forces, I think they still have the power to fight.

    That¡¯s why we came all the way this time. After all, once Jingzhou fell, Yizhou would be surrounded on three sides by Liu Ke, so its destruction would only happen overnight.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? forwardThis is the truth.

    "If Cao Cao hadn't held the emperor hostage to order the princes and was regarded as a traitor, the three forces could have joined forces to fight against the enemy.

    Since Yi Ji came to express Liu Bei's goodwill, people in Jingzhou naturally couldn't forcefully extrapolate.

    At this time, Yu Fan slowly said: "Brother Ji Bo, I have something unclear, please enlighten me. Although Liu Yizhou is benevolent, I'm afraid he won't help us in vain, right?"

    "I wonder what price we have to pay to invite Yizhou soldiers and horses?"  "

    As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience held their breath for a moment, because this was the most critical issue.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world. Even if Liu Bei had the benevolence and righteousness to do, he couldn't have sacrificed in vain, right?

    Even Sun Quan, who was hiding behind the screen, immediately pricked up his ears to listen to what was said behind.

    Yi Ji felt a chill in his heart when he heard this, and understood that after the previous temptation, the other party finally got to the point.

    Of course he can¡¯t help in vain this time, but he can¡¯t be too straightforward either.

    So, Yiji pondered for a moment before finally saying: "My lord is benevolent and virtuous all over the world. He is anxious for justice and loves justice, and he specializes in bullying the weak.

    If it¡¯s for some benefit, wouldn¡¯t he become a villain like everyone else?

    It¡¯s just that this time we are coming from Yizhou, the journey is long, and the supply of food and grass is insufficient. Please help us when we need it.

    In addition, when soldiers and horses come to Jingzhou, they also need a foothold. Otherwise, it will be impossible to repel Liu Ke like a rootless Ping.  "

    Hearing this, Zhang Zhao nodded slowly and said: "Sir's first request is to provide food and grass. It is not difficult. After all, if you contribute this time, it is fair and just for us to provide food.

    ??????????????????????????????? What do you mean by a foothold, sir?  Would you like to show me?  "

    Yi Ji pretended to be relaxed and said: "When the army comes, it must have a foothold so that it can be confident. If we can give up Jianping and Yidu counties to each other"

    When everyone heard this, their expressions suddenly changed and they were all speechless.

    Now I know that Liu Bei came to help on the surface, but in fact he was interested in the land of the two counties.

    Although everyone in Jingzhou was defeated by Liu Ke, they absolutely couldn't stand Liu Bei's behavior of taking advantage of the situation.

    So everyone was filled with righteous indignation, especially the generals present, who were about to rush up and scold him.

    Yi Ji was the only one, still standing proudly on the spot, his expression unchanged, still looking at everyone with a smile.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
