In fact, it is not difficult to guess the movements of Huang Zu and others.

As mentioned before, Jiangxia has a special location. It is at the intersection of two rivers. The Han River and the Yangtze River meet in the east of Jiangxia City.

The confluence of the two rivers provided Jiangxia with shelter. It made Jiangxia's geographical environment superior, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.

To the east of Jiangxia is Sun Quan's territory, and Poyang Lake is the headquarters of Sun Quan's navy.

Therefore, it is actually closer to go to Jiangdong from Jiangxia than to Xiangyang.

However, there was a grudge between Huang Zu and Sun Quan for killing their father. Otherwise, Huang Zu's first choice would definitely be to go to Jiangdong.

Since we can't go to Jiangdong's territory, we can still go to Jingnan.

It's just a short distance upstream from Hong Lake to Dongting Lake.

After Li Jichen and others guessed that Huang Zu might go to Jingnan by water, they immediately sent a message to Nanshan and asked them to pay attention to the movements in Jingnan.

But after Nanshan and others received the message from Li Jichen and others, they were all stunned.

Let them check Huang Zu's whereabouts. Where can they go?

You know, it's better to take the land route. After the army passes by, it will leave some traces.

But how can we check the waterway? If the water passes without leaving a trace, they will risk their lives to check it?

In the end, Zhang Xuanji thought it through. Since his whereabouts could not be traced, it would be better to go directly to Jingnan and wait for him.

In Zhang Xuanji's words, since Huang Zu was going to the four counties of Jingnan, he should go directly to the city and wait. If he found Jiang Xia's army, he would report it directly.

Moreover, even if Huang Zu and the others did not go to Jingnan, these players could go there first and act as a bridgehead, opening a teleportation array directly in Jingnan, allowing players to directly cross the Yangtze River's natural chasm.

When Nanshan heard what Zhang Xuanji said, he thought it made sense, so he sent a group of 100 people directly across the river towards the four counties of Jingnan.

At this time, Huang Zu and the others had not yet reached Jingnan, but were meeting up with Liu Qi's army near Honghu Lake.

"How is your son?" Huang Zu asked when he saw his son Huang She.

"Back to father, the young master has woken up, but his body is still very weak. Su Fei is now staying by the young master's side to protect him all day long." Huang She understood the importance of Liu Qi to Huang Zu.

Huang Zu also nodded when he heard Huang She's words, and then said: "Take me to see the young master!"

"Here!" Huang She responded and took Huang Zu directly outside Liu Qi's camp.

Because Liu Qi was seriously injured and weak, he could not see the wind, so his big tent had three layers inside and three layers outside were wrapped tightly.

When Huang She opened the curtain, a cold wind poured into the tent. Liu Qi started coughing when he saw the wind.

Although Cai Shen's knife missed Liu Qi's heart by a hair, it still hurt Liu Qi's lungs.

So now Liu Qi coughs when he sees the wind and bleeds when he coughs.

Fortunately, the doctors in Liu Qi's army were skillful and at least saved Liu Qi's life.

But it is estimated that it will take another year and a half for Liu Qi to get out of bed and walk.

"Sir, are you okay?" Huang Zu came to Liu Qi's window and looked at Liu Qi with a worried look on his face.

"I can't die yet." Liu Qi said intermittently, but then he coughed again.

"Young Master, please take care of yourself. The army still needs you now." Huang Zu glanced at Liu Qi, his face full of worry.

At this time, Liu Qi had no strength to speak. He could only wave his hand weakly towards Huang Zu.

"General Huang, the young master needs to rest now." Kuai Liang, who was standing by, said to Huang Zu.

When Huang Zu heard what Kuai Liang said, he nodded, and then motioned to Kuai Liang, and the two of them went aside to discuss.

Kuai Liang nodded and followed Huang Zu to the side.

"Mr. Kuai Liang, I hope you can teach me how our army should act now." Huang Zu looked at Kuai Liang and lowered his voice.

"General Huang, the situation is not favorable to me now. The most urgent thing is to choose a place to settle down." Kuai Liang looked at Huang Zu and said.

"That's right, I have an old relationship with Han Xuan, the governor of Changsha. We can go to Changsha County to settle down first, and then move on to the other three counties." Huang Zu thought for a while and said to Kuai Liang.

After hearing Huang Zu's words, Kuai Liang also felt that Han Xuan was a good choice. It can be said that the road to Changsha was very smooth.

The navy under Huang Zu could directly reach Changsha County from the Yangtze River and the Xiangjiang River.

This journey was not only fast, but also smooth, and Liu Qi did not have to suffer from the fatigue of driving and horses.

At the same time, Changsha County was relatively far from Xiangyang. For a while, the Han army could not reach Changsha.

Huang Zu and others had enough time to prepare for war.

Seeing that Kuai Liang also agreed to go to Changsha first, Huang Zu didn't say anything more, but thought of another thing.

"Mr. Kuai Liang, have you found out the identity of the assassin?"

Kuai Liang shook his head, and then said: "Not yet, but I estimate that the person who sent the assassin is in Xiangyang City."

"And the most suspected person in the city is Cai Mao."

After hearing Kuai Liang's words, Huang Zu also nodded. Who wants Liu Qi to die the most now? It must be Cai Mao.

"However, I thought about it again later. I always felt something was wrong." Kuai Liang added.

"Wrong? What's wrong? If the young master dies, isn't it best for Cai Mao?" Huang Zu couldn't figure it out. Even if this kind of thing was made clear, there was nothing wrong with it.

"It's just because it's too obvious, so I guessed wrong!" Kuai Liang shook his head, and then said: "Even if the young master is no longer favored by Liu Biao, he is still Liu Biao's eldest son."

"In other words, Liu Qi can be squeezed out, but he must not be assassinated. Otherwise, where will Liu Biao's face go?"

"Cai Mao is also a member of a noble family. Fighting between noble families can be done in any way, but assassination cannot be used."

"This is an unwritten rule between aristocratic families. If anyone violates it, other aristocratic families can attack him."

"If Cai Mao sends someone to assassinate the young master, no matter whether he succeeds or not, the Cai family will be lost to everyone. If Cai Mao wants to strengthen the Cai family, it is impossible to use such a method."

"Moreover, we also overlooked one point. If someone assassinates the young master and then blames Cai Mao, does that mean that all obstacles have been cleared?" Kuai Liang said slowly.

Huang Zu heard Kuai Liang's words and felt that it made sense. So except Cai Mao, who would benefit from Liu Qi's death?

The answer is self-evident, that is Liu Cong.

"But, Mr. Kuai Liang, this is not right. If the young master dies, the murderer is not Cai Mao, then it can only be Liu Cong."

"But Liu Cong is only a seven or eight-year-old child. Where did he find dead soldiers?" Huang Zu still couldn't figure it out.

"Young Master Cong has no dead soldiers, what about his mother Cai?" Kuai Liang suddenly thought of someone.

"You mean, Mrs. Cai?" Huang Zu was also surprised when he heard Kuai Liang's words.
