"My lord, Ma Chao and others are here to pay their respects."
While Liu Qi and Guo Jia were silent, a burly man came over and reported respectfully.
It was Dian Wei, Liu Qi's guard commander.
Hear the words.
Liu Qi nodded and said: "Let them come in."
He was not surprised that Ma Chao and the others came.
He would have been surprised if they had not come.
After the war calmed down.
Military generals and counselors from various places were summoned back to Jingzhou City.
Of course, Li Ru, Fazheng and others in Yizhou were not recalled, and Liao Hua, Chen Dao and Kuai Liang were also sent to Jiaozhou.
For example, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and others have also returned to Jingzhou City.
It's just that everyone has their own things to be busy with.
After all, they need to move to Yizhou and Chengdu, so there are also many things that need to be dealt with in Jingzhou.
It doesn't mean that they can just leave.
"promise" Dian Wei also handed over his hand and walked out in the direction he came from.
"Lord, that subordinate also left first," Guo Jiaye said with his hands in hand.
Liu Qi nodded and did not try to persuade him to stay.
Of course, it was not that he did not believe in Guo Jia.
There would be no problems if he stayed, but he would not persuade Guo Jia to leave.
After Guo Jia bowed, he also took steps towards the direction Dian Wei left.
Wait for Guo Jia to leave.
Liu Qi did not return to the pavilion and sit down, but stood quietly. from time to time Dian Wei then came over with four people, namely Ma Chao, Ma Dai, Pang De, and Pang Tong.
"Meet the Lord" Ma Chao and the other four also bowed and saluted in front of Liu Qi.
Dian Wei did not withdraw this time, but stood not far away and waited quietly.
"You don't have to be polite," Liu Qi said with a smile.
"Thank you, Lord" Ma Chao and others also straightened their bodies.
Liu Qi turned to look at Dian Wei and said, "Dian Wei, please go out first."
Hear the words.
Dian Wei hesitated for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "No."
Although he was a little worried, he could not disobey Liu Qi's order, so he could only salute and walk out.
However, Liu Qi's order also made Ma Chao and others stunned for a moment, but gratitude immediately rose in their hearts.
By doing this, Liu Qi clearly told them an attitude and completely trusted their attitude.
Since they captured Yingchuan, Chenliu, Xuchang and other places and publicly surrendered to Liu Qi, they also accepted Liu Qi's order and rushed back to Jingzhou City.
It is also possible to feel the distrust of Liu Qi's other subordinates, but this is also human nature.
After all, they have no contact with Liu Qi, but they suddenly said that they want to join Liu Qi.
Even if Nanyang's predicament is solved, they have to It makes people wonder if there is any conspiracy involved.
However, there is no malicious intent.
It is natural to be a little wary without real confirmation.
Even if it were them, they would have the same idea.
And, what surprised them the most.
But it was Liu Qi who, during the discussion, overcame all opinions and asked a few of them to guard Jingzhou, not counting Jiangxia.
Of course, Jiangxia's navy was the Jingzhou navy, and they would not be able to manage it even if it was handed over to them.
The same was true for Taishi Ci and Gan Ning.
The most suitable one, not to mention the Jingzhou navy, was formed by Taishi Ci and Gan Ning.
This is what surprised them the most.

When they knew that Liu Qi was moving to Chengdu, they knew that someone in Jingzhou would definitely stay behind, but they never thought it would be them.
They also know the importance of Jingzhou.
Even if Liu Qi needs someone to guard Jingzhou, he will choose capable and loyal people from his old troops to guard it instead of choosing them.
They were originally planning to make a fuss at the meeting, but they just came here after all, and such an important position would not fall to them.
However, they did not expect that Liu Qi would directly appoint them to guard Jingzhou, and he would also use a firm tone to prevent anyone from refuting.
Both them and the old troops were shocked.
However, it also made them feel like they would die for their confidants.
This means that Liu Qi completely trusts them.
If they have other thoughts, they will be able to go out on their own once Liu Qi leaves Jingzhou.
And they also felt the unkind eyes of Zhao Yun and others.
Come this time.
They were also thinking about it, and they couldn't figure out why Liu Qi could trust them so much.
They were also a little uneasy, thinking that Liu Qi might be testing them, so they came to see them collectively.
Wait for Dian Wei to leave.
Only Liu Qi, Ma Chao, Ma Dai, Pang De and Pang Tong were left standing in the courtyard.
A breeze blew.
Liu Qi didn't seem to have any worries.
He looked at Ma Chao and others with a smile, and seemed to be waiting for Ma Chao and others to speak first. a while
"Now that there are no guards around my lord, aren't you afraid?"
Ma Chao raised his head and looked at Liu Qi.
He put his hand on his sword and stared at Liu Qi closely as he asked.
Hear Ma Chao's words.
Ma Dai, Pang De, and Pang Tong on the side were also shocked, but they did not speak out and looked at Liu Qi.
Liu Qi grinned and asked: "What is there to be afraid of?
Does Meng Qi have any ideas?"
"Don't dare" Seeing that Liu Qi's eyes did not change while he was speaking, Ma Chao also understood, lowered his head, and bowed to salute.
"Haha, Meng Qi came here this time not just because he wanted to ask this question," Liu Qi said with a smile.
"I don't know why my lord wants his subordinates to guard Jingzhou.
You must know that the most suitable person under my lord's command should be General Zhao or General Huang, not his subordinates."
Ma Chao asked without hesitation.
Pang De, Ma Dai, and Pang Tong didn't think Ma Chao was wrong.
They also had confidence in their abilities.
However, when it came to the most suitable people to guard Jingzhou, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong were the most suitable people. .
It's not that they think they are inferior to Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong, although there is a slight gap.
But in terms of loyalty and ability, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong are both capable of guarding Jingzhou without losing.
"Meng Qi, don't you have confidence in guarding Jingzhou?"
Liu Qi said calmly as if he couldn't understand what Ma Chao meant.
"As long as my subordinates are waiting, I will live up to my lord's trust."
Hear Liu Qi's words.
How could Ma Chao and the other four give in?
What's more, they didn't think that they and others couldn't defend Jingzhou, but they just didn't understand why Liu Qi would let their new recruits take on this important task.
Anyone who dares to reach out to Jingzhou will be cut down.
Looking at the determined expressions of Ma Chao, Pang Tong, Pang De and Ma Dai.
"Just now Fengxiao asked me why I chose you to guard Jingzhou."
Liu Qi's voice also sounded.

The four Ma Chao people also pricked up their ears.
They were not surprised by Guo Jia's question.
This was also what they wanted to know.
Moreover, as the number one counselor under Liu Qi, it was normal for Guo Jia to be worried.
"My answer is that as long as Meng Qi and others are here, Jingzhou will be safe," Liu Qi said with an affirmative tone
